CBy Chas. c. Cutohshaw.l

Phoenix. Ariz., Nov. 2S.-Indications
are not lacking that the Prohibition
lists are going to get into the game OF
politics in earnest this fall They have
completed their ticket by the nomina-
ton of a partial list Of state and fed
eral officers, and the names have been
certified TO the secretary Of the terri
tory. They are Eugene W Chain, q
Tucson, for representative in congress
i. W. Otis, of Prescott, for governor;
Roy Libbey, Of Copper Creek for sec
rotary of state; r. A. Windes, Of
Tempe, for treasurer; p. F. COlling, OF
Kingman, for auditor, and Osborn Glib
son Of Tombstone, for attorney gem
eral.
The only ripple that has been caused
by the nomination Of the state PrOhi-
bition candidates is by the projection
of Eugene Chafin into the campaign
This OF course is because Chain was
once on the Prohibition national tick
ct Cbafin is, in reality, as much Of a
Socialist as he is a PrOhibitiOnist. Sew
eral months go he toured this part Of
the territory lecturing on behalf OF
Fred Warren, the Socialist editor Of
Girard, Kansas. who had run afOul the
Law and had been assessed a fine
Chain is not taken with intense Sc
robustness by any party here
1T has been busy week" said ?. H
Hayes, secretary Of the Republican
state committee, last night We have
been at work every minute Of the time
and our work has yielded good results
There is not an argument advanced by
the Democrats we haven't met; and IN
my judgment their importation Of GOV.
Folk did them more harm than good.
Folks free trade talk didn't go very
well here"
On the other hand. chairman John J.
BirdnO, Of the Democratic committee, Is
predicting the election Of every man on
the Democratic ticket by immense ma
jorities- some of them have been placed
by him as high as 5000. He says the
vote in the state VIII be about $4,000,
that the Democrats viii have 1900 and
the Republicans 1000.
Democratic Claims.
This sort Of statement is given out
of course for effect Ne one believes
the Democrats viii have a majority OF
5000 or anything like Ii. But II is gem
orally recognized that the Democrats
Just row have the better chance, and II
the election were held tomorrow the
would win
But there IS another fact to be taken
into consideration, and that is that
much may happen-in politics-in three
weeks. That IS the extent Of time be-
tween this and the election and whole
political revolutions have been accom-
plished IN less than three weeks.
Also, the popularity Of the Republic
can ticket is growing. Or, to be exc
picit the popularity Of the principles
advocated by the Democrats are on the
wane This Is not so much apparent
on the surface vet; the rank. and file
are still cheering for the initiative the
referendum and the recall; there IS still
the same old hostility to the courts;
and the man who opposed the cOnstitu-
tion is still anathema to many Of the
electorate
Sentiment Changing.
But Just the same, a change Is no.
ticeabIe II Is noticeable among the
business men. and most of all among
Hr-sf--
frequent touch with the banks. It IS
the first faint ripple Of q rising tide
the tide that Is rising against Arizona
radfcalism.
Just now the situation seems to be
but sentiment against their radicalism
is growing. The result Of the election
depends on whether the tide Of dissent
