Opera In Dumb Show,

The late Clara Novello in her remi niscences tells how Malibran once ap. peafed in "Sonnambula" without ut tering note. She had taken cold and was prevented from singing at the last moment. though crowds of early corners already filled the house "On the manager telling her. in de spair, that, besides loss of money, these disappointed people would be dangerous she said, I can't speak above my breath; I should have to do 1t in dumb show" Bum at once caught at this outburst as if seriously meant and on his knees begged her to try this. and she, fired by the nov city, did so. The grateful public rav. ed in praise of this surprising tour de force, and the sensation 1t made filled the papers. ''

EIGHT CENTS A DAY.
Workers Pay In England When Board
 Was Shilling q Week.

w dS q S'IilAitE9 si w ZEN.
 There was Il time when workmat sn England received & cents Il d9Y D. sn ordinary wage. when el;illcd ar tisans commanded 12 ce3ta 2 day anc when women worked in the field a. such tasks as reapng straw, hoeinc planting beans and washing shorl. for cents a day. and a wise sudden of the subject h0s expressed the nDin ion that the British workman of tha! dGy was better of than he has cvrI been since then
 That sounds raraAoXiraI. Eut tne explanation is this: The workman who sold his services for s cents a day could buy good beef or mutton for 1h cents pound. Wheat cost him on the average only IS cents buShcl He could get board for 12 to 1i cents week. The pay he would receive foI fifteen weeks services would suffice to purchase a supply of suitable food stuffs, according to the standard of his time Consisting of wheat. malt and oatmeaD. to maintain his family for an entire year.
 Under tbeSc circumstances s cents 6 day-increased to 12 cents in harvest time-was a fair wage. and times were good" for the average workman -McClure's Magazine.

"Ordinance Number Two"

Through the courtesy of Territorial
Secretary Young, The Republican this
morning is enabled to publish the
somewhat famous Election Ordinance
No. ." exactly as adopted by the
constitutional convention
This ordinance has never before
been printed as news, and in view OF
the widespread interest which the di-
rect primaries will soon arouse in the
territory, the document should be read
by all citizens with care. 1t amends
the territorial primary law in sew
eral important particulars.
Not the least interesting incidental
feature of this ordinance is the ad-
vantage which it is presumed to give
q. w. 2. Hunt in his race for the
democratic nomination for governor.
There is to be a primary canvassing
board" whose duty will be to canvass
the votes cast at the primaries in the
composed of three members-Secre-
tary Young and two members of the
mated by George W. p. Hunt" II
either or both of the members desig-
mated shall fail to serve, Mr. Hunt
is still the appointing power-he is to
select the requisite number of out
siders.
The candidacy of Colonel Thomas
+. Weedin of Florence for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor has
been announced, and the contest be-
tween him and Mr. Hunt will I'M
doubtedly be a sharp one. Very pos
sibly it may be a close contest, when
the total vote of the democrats in
the territory is footed up. Obviously
it will be immensely TO the advantage
of Hunt to control a majority of the
board.
The same board is to canvass the
entire vote cast at the primaries
the votes cast for the candidates of all
parties.
To canvass the votes cast at the
general election, another board is des-
ignated-a board composed of the
governor. the secretary of the terri
tory, and the chief justice.

Our Friend Senator CIapp.

SO the Hon. Moses Clapp. republi-
the state of Minnesota, is coming TO
Phoenix to crate in celebration Of
Arizonas achievement of statehood.
This is satisfactory to everybody,
we suppose. The Hon. Moses will en-
counter no opposition to such efforts
as he may make to get the Grafton
out of his system. But while he is
telling us what a great man he is,
how much he loves the people Of Ari-
IONA, what great men Hunt and
O'NeiIl are, and telling us how he
has broken from our limbs the shack
les of slavery which have until now
bound US to the chariot wheels Of
corrupt territorial government" it
will be worth while for the populace
to remember that if the Hon. Moses
had had his way in the senate the
lost in the session just ended.
The official Congressional Record
for Friday, August IS tells the story.
We quote therefrom (pages 1921
1920:
THE VICE PRESIDENT: If there
are no further amendments to be Of
fered to the joint resolution, as in
committee of the whole, it will be re-
ported to the senate.
"(The joint resolution was reported
to the senate as amended. and the
amendments were concurred in. The
joint resolution was ordered to be en-
crossed for third reading. and 1t was
read the third time).
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Shall

Current Comment
NEW ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
Speculation From a Republican Stand
point on the Reapportionment.

President Taft having signed the re-
apportionment bill the electoral col
Iege of 1912 will comprise 525 mem
bers, says the New York Tribune. If
Arizona and New Mexico are admitted
in time to vote next year its member
ship will be increased to 531. Specu-
lation as to the effect of these lncreas-
es on the normal voting strength of
the two parties is already active.
The most patent result of the
growth of the country in the last
three decades has been, so far as the
distribution of political strength IL
concerned, the diminution of the IN
fIuence of the former solid South. In
1884 and 1883, when the South was
still unbrokenly Democratic, it was
able to cast 1913 votes, and n dcmocra-
tic candidate for president needed only
As votes more TO win. These lie could
obtain by carrying New York and In
diana, or New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut IF the solid South or
1884 and 1888 were still in existence
it would be able to cast next year Is
votes-Oklahoma's nine votes being
Included. But even with that addi-
ton there would be a shortage of IS
votes. a majority of the new electoral
collage being 263. To make good that
shortage a democratic candidate would
have to carry New York, New Jersey,
Indiana and Connecticut
The old solid south, has. however,
been broken up. Delaware has become
republican. and so has West Virginia
Missouri was carried by Mr.. Roose-
welt in 1904 and by Mr.. Taft in 1908,
and Maryland's vote was divided IN
both those elections. Delaware. West
Virginia and Missouri have 20 votes.
and a democratic presidential candi-
date would have to win them back or
gain % additional votes elsewhere in
the North. Only three northern states
Colorado, Nevada and Nebraska,
with 16 votes-supported Mr.. Bryan
at the last presidential election.
The uphill character of the task
ahead of the democratic party next
year can be shown in another way. In
1908 Mr.. Taft got 321 electoral votes
and Mr.. Bryan 162-the formers ma
jority being 159. The states which
went republican have gained 81 votes
by the reapportionment and the states
which went democratic have gained 10.
The present republican advantage is
therefore Isl, and the democratic nom-
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1911-08-24

inee will have to hold Mr.. Bryan's
strength and gain 81 votes in states
which went republican in 1908 in order
to win. New York's 40 votes will be
the chief stake to be fought for. If
this state goes republican the demo-
cratic candidate will be doomed. But
even if it should happen to carry New
York which now seems highly i'm
probable. he would have to get As
votes elsewhere. New Jersey, Indiana,
and Missouri would furnish AZ, but
there is little prospect Of the democra-
tic party's holding Colorado, with six
votes, because of the democratic at
tack on its industries. against which
even its democratic representatives in
congress have been loudly protesting.

Thus the official record shows that
of the eight opposing votes, four were
cast by insurgent republicans: Bris-
tow. Bourne, Cummins and Clapp.
Senator LaFollette, another republican
insurgent who has oft and sundry
shed tears as big as biscuits in evil
dence of his friendship for Arizona,
is listed with those mot voting" and
the record shows that he was one of
the few non-voting senator's that were
not paired on one side or the other.
Our dispatches at the time described
how LaFollette marched out of the
chamber to avoid going on record.
But the other fervent friends OF
Arizona among the insurgents, voted
and were counted against the resO-
luton to admit this territory. And
Clapp was one of them.
Fortunately for Arizona, there were
SO senators, democrats and republi
cans, who had decided that Arizona
must not be permitted to lose out
