Arizona republican., 1911-12-11
Just Now They Are Wor- ried for Fear the "Inter- ests" Will Get a Grip on the Citizenship of State of Arizona.
WHOLE COUNTRY
 IS CIRCULARIZED
Democrats Pretend to Fear Control of a Boss When as a Matter of Fact Hunt is Leading Boss of the Territory.

In face of the fact that the so- called democratic ticket is headed by George w. r. Hunt whose bOsSiSm as displayed in the politics and gov ernment of Globe and of Gila county marks him as a political boss of the most virulent type the democratic state central committee in an eleventh hour circular with which the mails have been flooded during the past forty eight hours make the following wholly unsupported statement:
 The interests have made and are making use of the republican stand pat machine. as an instrument to de- feat the will of the majority. and to fasten the reign of bossism upon the state -tO-be.'
 That is particularly good coming from the campaign managers of party denOminated by Hunt the boss" of Gla county. the worst governed county in Arizona and which is, and for years has been absolutely in control of George w. P. Hunt, the present democratic for governor
 And who or what are the in- terests?" The Copper Queen and the
 
 up by demagogs as political bug-a- boOs par excellence and the repreSen- tatives of everything bad in political way get these two great corpora tions are this year lined up for Boss Hunt and his ticKet as is evidenced by the Copper Queen newspaper The Tucson Star the Bisbee Review. the Douglas International and the Fl PasO Times and by the Jerome News which is supposed to sneeze when ever the United Verde takes snuff. all of which are supporting Boss" Hunt.
 And what or who might be the republican stand-pa machine ?" Is it Wells. forty seven years a resident. whose record has been as an open book? Is it Cameron who has lived in Arizona since boyhood and who has a record of achievement since he en- tered public life of which any man might be proud? Is it Hoval Smith. who has done more since his advent in the territory to advance it's ma teriaI interests than any other one man. or than many of the great cor porations engaged in legitimate en- terprises has done?
 If those men. with their devO- tion to real progress are the -repub- Iican stand-pat machine" that other bug-a boo with which democrats are wont to frighten children. let us pray that the machine may increase in size and efficiency.
 By the talk about "the interests and the republican stand-p pat ma chine the holding aIoft of bogie men. induged in by the democrats during this campaign has been their sole argument" except when they took flier into the field of economies and urged the cattlemen. wool growers and farmers and fruit growers to accept free trade.
 What have the democratic speakers ar newspapers had to say on any of the many vital questions in which the people of Arizona are interested?
 They have insisted that they gave Arizona the constitution but have neglected to give Ralph Cameron credit for the enabling act which made the holding of constitutional convention possible
 They have charged Cameron and lut TtDunliCdHS Nllil ildNiNS ulSlidH- chised thousands of the voters of the state but they fail to tell that the dsfranchisement was brought about by the radical element of the so- called democracy through it's insistence UpOn incorporating in the constitution features which they knew would be objected to and cause delay and con- seauent disfranchisement
 They have been silent on the ques- ton of extending the time for payment of the Roosevelt dam obligations, question in which every resident Ot every irrigated or irrigable valley in Arizona is interested.
 They have not discussed free school books. compulsory arbitration. the school land question. the extension of governmental reclamation projects. the. safeguarding of employees engaged in hazardous undertakings. the employers liability law or any of a score or more of questions which the people of Arizona wanted to hear discussed
