Arizona republican., 1911-10-19

If the late lamented Ananias had been a citizen of the United States it would be easy to believe he received his training in mendacity while can didate for the senate But it has to be confessed that he could hardly have hoped to attain to the proficiency of one Arizona statesman who is a candidate for that important office. The esteemed statesman here referred to would have made the Biblical gen. tleman look like an amateur.
 Also and moreover, when it is con sidered that this candidate has the aid and comfort of the pee-purs pa per- one can't help but think Ananias. if he had lived in the present day, would have surrendered his ldurels without a single protest.
 The other day Eugene Brady O'NeiH and a number of other gentlemen were travelling from Phoenix to the southern part of the territory There were a number of candidates of both parties looking over the ground down there. including Judge Wells, one of the republican aspirants for governor. and F.. $. De Pass. republican candi- date for corporation commissioner. The whole party was held up at Ben son for several hours; and MT. O'Neill sent the Gazette a telegram roasting the railroad and declaring that Wal ter Douglas had taken Wells and De Pass from Benson to Douglas on a special train.
 Thereupon the Gazette proceeded to throw a beautiful assortment of va riegated fits: and between spasms it wept all over it's front page at the outrage the soulless corporation had once again perpetrated upon the pee pull. What, ho," it shouted-the what-hoing being particularly good just about that time-"What, ho. we have a traitor in our midst, In fact, we have two traitors in our midst. Look at the villains Wells and De Pass actually rode on a special train-on SPECIAL TRAIN. dear -pul, a train furnished by the in terests Fellow citizens. do you know what it means? It means that Wells and De Pass are owned by the i'm terests-by the INTERESTS, dear pee-pul. You get it. don't you? We said that they are owned by the in- terests
 "Ah, but dear pee-pul," the Gazette continued. there is one man whom no railroad could corrupt. and that man is Eugene Brady O'Neill. You don't see Brady riding around on any special trains, do you? Yea, verify you do not"
 And then the Gazette turned a few more flipflaps, after which it resumed it's customary somnolence, assured of the fact that it had put another spike in the coffin of the enemies of the 
 With it's customary accuracy, the Gazette missed the mark a thousand miles or so; but really when it comes as close as that it is to be congratu- lated. It is a fact that Wells and De Pass got on a special train at Benson. The Gazette told the truth there
 It could hardly be true that they | did so at the invitation of Walter | Douglas, since every newspaper in
 
 the Gazette knows Walter Douglas is abroad. But to a paper that makes it's facts as it goes along a little thing | like that offered no difficulty
 You wouldn't find Brady O'Nein | riding on any special train. says the | Gazette. And thereupon it's puffs | up like pouter pigeon.
 But, brother. that is precisely what | Brady did. Brady did get on that | special train. He got on it at the | invitation of MT. James Douglas, of | the Copper Queen and Phelps Dodge | interests. He rode on that awful spe- ,ial-on that SPECIAL. dear pee-pul clear from Benson to Douglas And 1on't you know. MT. Gazette, that he s the only candidate, democratic or who did SO? Don't you
