CENTRAL COMMIT EE,
Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 16, 1911.

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 16, 1911.
To The GRAHAM GUARDIAN:
With complete returns at hand
verifying and subseantiating the
Judgment of an Overwhelming ma
jorlty of Arizona voters, an analysis
of the various clements and forces
that were important factors and
main contributors to democratic
success is appropriate.
Handicapped by lack of funds and
confronting in this respect, an op-
position well equipped and provided
for, it was practically an impossible
ty to wage any material campaign
without the aid, strength and sup.
port of a united democratic press.
This was prompt in forthcoming
and the magnificent services and
the answering loyalty of the demo-
cratic newspapers to the congress
ional, State and county tickets dur
ing the recent campaign, assured
democratic success and made victory
certain.
The glorious result compels frank
acknowledgment of the influence of
a sound democratic newspaper, and
to The GUARDIAN, the Democratic
State Central Committee in behalf
of the democratic party, extends
its sincere thanks and best wishes.

After the prettiest, warmest
and dryest March we have had
for many years, and the best all
around for farm work, April was
ushered in with a dark frown
on its face. We have not only
had lots of rain, but the weather
has been unpleasantly cold, and
what promised to be the finest
early gardens for many years, as
we'll as other farm crops, now
look as though they had been
scalded with hot water. In adj
dition to the other bad weather,
we had terrific hail last Friday
night, April 18th, accompanied by
a very heavy rainfall and wind
storm. All vegetation is badly
retarded and with the very best
weather conditions, it will take
a month for them to to recover
what they have lost.
The many friends Of Mrs. E.
K. White are more than pleased
to learn of the prospect of her
speedy recovery. The latest
news from her indicates that if
she continues to improve as she
is now, she will be able to come
home in a few days. This is
good news, not only on her ac-
count, but her distinguished hus-
band, DR.. E. K. White, is very
much missed by his friends and
patrons, who will feel very much
easier when he returns.
