domination Of dishonest judges.
who, controlled by corporations or
political bosses. render their de-
cisions favorable to their masters.
No honest judge need fear the
recall and the people of Arizona
have perfect right to place the
recall of the judiciary in their con-
stitution for their own protection.
The democrats of Graham
county will not look to the Copper
Era for instructions in democracy.
for the democracy that it breaches
is of the kind that would deliver
them as serfs into the hands of
their masters and would rapidly
make our republican form of gov
eminent farce.
The democrats of Arizona need
not fear that progressive demo-
cratic measure like the recall Of
the judiciary will ever cause a split
in the ranks of true democracy,
the fears of the Copper Era to the
contrary.
The very thin veneer of democ-
racy Of the Copper Era under its
present regime. will not give it
much prominence in democratic
councils. not enough that you
would notice it. and certainly the
democrats Of Graham county will
not take orders from such poor
sample of even independent de-
mocracy.
The Copper Era need never fear
that the democracy of Arizona will
ever split on democratic princi-
pie like the recall of the judiciary.
So just worry along. brother, on
something else. We like you
pretty well. but when you try to
tell us what democracy means,
why. it is to laugh.

GEO. H. CROSBY, JR.

Is the only man who has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
county attorney on the republican
ticket, subject to the majority of
the republicans voting at the pri.
mary election. Mr.. Crosby is we'll
known to almost every voter in the
county. He has been practicing
attorney in Graham county all the
time he has lived here; served as
assistant district attorney to Lee N.
Stratton, and was also district at
tOrney of Apache county before
coming here. If anyone doubts
MIR. Crosby's genuine republicanism,
let them talk to him and they will
soon become convinced.
Graham guardian. [volume] (Safford, Ariz.) 1895-1923, 1911-09-15

In a recent issue the Copper
Era. commenting on the resolu.
tions adopted by the democrats Of
Graham county at the mass meet
ing held in Stafford, picked out
that part of the resolutions relating
to the recall of tho judiciary. which
we quote as follows:
1t is our duty as democrats to
require from each candidate for
Office a personal pledge that he
will be solidly in favor Of such
constitutional measure of judicial
recall before he shall receive our
support" and in its comments the
Copper Era declared that the re-
call Of the judiciary was not a
democratic principle and that If
carried out would cause a split in
the democratic party in the Terri
tory.
Il must be very evident to those
who read the article that the Cop
per Era does not understand what
democracy means when it says
that any provision Of law which
gives the people the right to recall
from Office dishonest Judge IL
not democratic.
Such a provision 10 the very es-
sence of democracy and gives to
the people the rights they should
have in taking care Of the interests
and welfare Of the people as a |
whole. 40 against the rule and ]

JOHN MCGOWAN

John MCGOWAN is an announced
candidate for county attorney, SUBJ
ject to the vote of the democrats at
the primary election. Every voter
knows Mr.. MCGOWAN as a democrat
and every person knows him as a
lawyer. His practice for several
years past has been in Graham and
Cochise counties, and the fact,
which is well known, that he applies
himself to his profession all the
time, is sufficient recommendation.

Atlanta, August, 22-Executive
Secretary Calvin Hitch, who took to
the senate the sealed appointments
by the governor which were opened
by president Slaton. has written a
card declaring that Senator Slaton
was not justified in tearing open
the communications, that there was
no good precedent for so doing, and
that the excuse that there were
three and Mr.. Slaton had to see
which one the governor wanted
back, was not a good excuse be-
cause even when he did open them
there was no way of telling.

Governor May Go To Wash
ington In The Late Fall.

Atlanta, August 22nd-lf any
body in Atlanta knows when Gov.
Hoke Smith intends to resign and
20 to Washington as United States
Senator, that person can't be locat-
ed by the newspaper contingent.
The published rumor that the
governor intended to resign before
October 18th. proved to be absolute
ly groundIess, so far as any aut lori
tative source was concerned, and
the governor himself declared at
first hand that he had never said
anything even to intimate friends
that could have given rise to it.
He hasn't said when he is going to
resign.
Governor Smiths friends still
believe he will resign about Deem
Der list. in time to 90 washington
for the regular winter session of
congress.
His enemies-political, of course
want to get him out of the state
as soon as they can, for no particu-
lar reason which they state
except that they have put them
selves on record for the first as be-
ing opposed to his holding the COVER
material chair while he is a United
States Senator. In fact these same
people objected as strenuOusly as
they could to Governor Smith hold
ing the executive chair even before
he was elected senator. The pub
lished rumor that the governor
might resign early in October was
not really a rumor at all, but
rather presentment of suggested
reasons why it might be a good idea
for the governor to 90 then.

Cotton From Old Roots.

Waycross, Ca, August 49, (Spe-
cial.) Movement experts have
been requested to visit Ware and re-
port on the feasibility of fighting the
boil weevil by p Oc ess that cos s the
farmer absolutely nothing and pro-
duces better cotton than the average
even without fertilizers.
J. E. Mcclellan on a fer n 3 miles
from Maycross has some splendid
short saple cotton plants that grew
from last seasons stubble. While
all his new crop is green and just
ripening, the plants from the years
roots are loaded with matured cot
One stalk was counted and found to
contain Al matured bolls. Through
out his field of Is acres, the stalks
that grew from old roots can be pick
ed becauseof their maturity.
A few stalks of cotton are grown
in almost all cotton fields in this
manner, but not before in this sec
ton has so much matured cotton
been seen on second growth plants.
Mr.. Mcclellan is an experienced cot
ton planter, and believes the use of
old roots will put a stop to the boil
weevil, The roots of the plants are
not killed in this part of the state,
as the earth does not freeze, as it
does in the middle and northern
sections. Mr.. Mcclellan proposes
another season to cut down a large
amount of stalks to the roots, and
then to make sure of having them
alive.for a second season, will cover
the field with pine straw and leaves
for the extreme winter season.
Many parties have visited the I'm
usual field of Mr., Mcclellan, and
farmers especially believe it is So
luton of the weevil. The plants
growing from old stubble mature
ahead of the Weevil, and thereby
make the pest anything but dan
gerous one for the cotton.

Rouse May Hang.

Atlanta, August, 22-The life OF
William Rouse is now in Governor
Hoke Smiths hands, and some de-
cision on the governors part must
come between now and August rs
only three days off, for the hanging
is set for that date. The sentiment,
or rather belief. at the capitol, is
that Governor Smith will not inter
fere with the execution. Rouse was
convicted in Worth county, of the
murder of William Bailey. Appeals
to.the court of appeals and to the
state prison commission have both
been turned down.
