ARIZONA TO VOTE
At FIRST ELECTION

Contest to Be Held Next
Tuesday Candidates In /
the Field. I

PHOENIX, Arix., Dec. 6.-Ari1ona
will vote for the first time next Tues
day for q slate OF State officials, two
United States Senators, subject to for
NAL ratification by the Legislature: rep
resentative in Congress, members OF the
supreme court, district Judges, state
senators and representatives, county
and precinct officers.
In addition iArisona will vote on the
proposal to eliminate the judicial recall
from the state constitution. Unless the
verdict on the latter Issue 10 In the At
firmativs, all the other labor Of the day
will have been In vain, for Congress has
decreed that Arisona shall remain out
side the Union until this device 10 re-
moved from the fundamental law.
There are three complete State tickets
in the field-Demooratic, Republican. and
Socialist. The candidates for governor
are: Democratic, George w. p. Hunt, Of
Globe: Republican,. Edward Va Wells.
Of prescott: Socialist, p. w. o&entine,
The Republicans are bending their en-
ture, and thus insure the election of
two Republicans as United States eena-
Ralph Cameron, who has been the terri
torial Delegate, and Hoval A. Smith,
late Republican TERRITORIAL chairman and
] a young mining man of Bisbee. The
choice Of the Democrats for the Sena-
| torships are Henry +. Ashurst Of Pres.
Socialists have Endorsed e. johnson and
e. B. Simonton. both residents of Globe.
For Representative in Congress the
candidates are: Democratic, Mulford
Winsor. OF Yuma: Republican, John 8.
Williams. Of Bisbee. and Socialist, John
Halberg, Of Jerome.
Because Of the multiplicity Of candi-
dates, It will probably be several dayl
after the election before the results are
known definitely.

THE PROFESSIONAL MUD.SLINCER

Why should stahbing a man in
the back be counted a disgrace
and Stabbing him to the heart
with slander not raise a ripple of
l,sapproval?
What is Mud Slinging?" 1t
is bounding a person tor the
purpose of discrediting him: it
is mean innuendo and ugly filings
at a rival; is is spreading instead
of smothering a scandal and un-
ctious repeating of funkind gossip.
The mud singer cares not
whether his or her victim is
blackened by slime of the mire
of untruth and hatred, nor does
4 ruined life and heartbroken
friends give him or her a re-
proachful pang. This kind of
a slanderer is dreaded by friend
and foe alike.
People can all to soon get into
the way of mud singing, 1t is
~asy to repeat thoughtless, un.
kind remarks. to impute wrong
motives, to tell the ugly story,
but it is an uneasiness that
makes for hardship all around.
The victim suffers, but not much
more than the character of the
party who sees nothing but evil
in every life.
The surest way to be unpop-
ular is to gain a reputation for
saying cutting things about
people. The person who utters
them does not know but what
the next person to be slandered
is the very one who has endeav-
ored TO slander a neighhor only
yesterday, and from thenceforth
society shuns the individual.

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR SOMEBODY

There is an element in the
United States senate which is
intent upon blocking sane action
by every means in its power.
Burrows, as chairman of the
committee on elections. has de-
termined that the Lorrimer case
shall be STAYED off as long as
possible, with the apparent pur-
pose of preventing any action at
all during this session. With
the cooperation of a few like
minded helpers he is able by
parliamentary tactics to tie up
the case until he gets ready to
let it come to an issue, which is
likely to be the day after the
session closes. The Democratic
contigent led by Senator Bailey
blocks tariff reform even more
effectually than did Aldrich &
Co. in any former session. Cam
palgn speeches and editorials, as
we'll as their platforms, led us to
expect that the Democrats
would at once cooperate with
any effort to inaugurate tariff
reform, but now that they are
in a position to render effective
aid, they cody tell US nothing
doing" Just what they hope
to gain by this policy it is diff
ficult to conjecture. 1t is true
that in the next session they
will control the house, but that
does not mean that they will
control the congress. The SEN
ate will be less ammendable to
their dictation than the present
one, and while a Democratic
house can block the passage of
bills sent from the senate that
body can also veto any house
bill that is not to it's liking.
There is evidently trouble ahead
for somebody.
