aL,ppEn TO De RUN AGAIN.
Term viii % Considerably Shorten
Says A. A. A. Man.

New York. March S.-Rumors that
the Glidden tour was to be abandoned
this year were enectIally silenced in a
statement given out here by A. r. Par.
dington of the American Automobile
association. The event. he says. will
again prove the leading feature Of the
4. A. A. annual tour.
The plans for the Glidden contest
indicate that the route will be consid'
erably shorter than heretofore. The
run will be from Washington to Of
tawa, distance Of about 1900 miles.
Of which 80 per cent will be over fine
roads. Some hard hill climbing will
be feature. The tour will go from
washington to Baltimore and Phila.
delphia. striking east through New
Jersey and then up to New York city.
From this city 1t will 30 up the Hud-
son river into Canada. The proposed
detour to the New England states will
be omitted.

There was q time when one could

not pay. Az Z matter Of fact. we have
seen the time when 1t was very doubt
full whether or not there were great
profits to be made in dairy farming

Of the growing of grains or the feeding
of other classes of live stock. At
those times milk and butter fat were
commanding less than half the price

really greater than 1t should be. and
places 1t on the basis Of speculation
where few rather than the majority
wish to cater to It, This Is. no doubt
the reason why the farmer will tell
you that he Is feeding less cattle and
hogs than he ever has before.
Intensive Conditions Build Up Dairy
Farming
Because of the intensiveness Of the
conditions that tend towards success

largely run along dairy lines than
large farms.
This Is another reason that will
probably bring about dairying in tho

It may possibly come about that We
will have more extensive land owners
even than we have at the present time,
or, in other words, more capital gain

But even though this be the case. the

Inc now existing there. The reports
from that far distant country show
that the people are in dire distress.
Terrible suffering is resulting from
complete crop failures in the interior.

other countries and other commune
ties, the people of Iowa have re-
sponded literally to the call for help

But the point Of this story is not
what has happened or is going to hap

PRINCIPLES Of THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
OF ARIZONA

The republican party OF Arizona by

champion of human rights and those
progressive ideas which have made
the nation great and wealthy and its
people prosperous. hereby adopts and
promulgates this platform.
We commend the administration of
our president, William II. Taft, for
the powerful aid and influence given
by it in furthering enactment of the
enabling act under which Arizona is
about to enter the SisterhoOd Of
states; for the progressive principles
that administration has advanced;
for it's advocacy of the principles OF
international peace; and for its cour-
ageous attitude and impartial execu-
ton of the laws in prosecution OF
trusts.
We commend our delegate in con-
gress, Honorable Ralph II. Cameron,
for the eminently successful result of
his effort to make good the platform
on which he was elected to secure
statehood for Arizona.

f. Sloan, for its record of efficiency
ir management of public affairs; its
putting upon the tax roll a great In
