1t is declared in Phoenix that there
is no provision in the Arizona con-
stitution which provides for primary
vote for choosing the first candidates
for United States senator. There
was such a proposition before the
constitutional convention and the i'm
preston was that it had passed, but
it seems to have been lost in the
shuttle somewhere. However, it may
be arranged for a primary vote in
this matter by the candidates them
selves if they see fit to do so.-Doug-
las International.
Are the New Mexico cowboys be-
coming effeminite? 1t was noticed
here this week that many of the COW
boys, instead of wrapping their forms
in blanket and curling around a
mesquite bush to enjoy a nights
slumber, came up town, rented rooms
at hotel, and passed the night be-
tween clean sheets. Many years ago
the cook at round up on the ella
had spring cot, mattress, pillows
and sheets, and retired into a night
gown when slumber time came. Only
that he was mighty good cook was
he saved from being dumped into the
ella. He reformed, went to Douglas,
when the town opened, invested in
real estate, went into business,
adjured nightgowns for pajamas,
made fortune, and Frank Douglas is
now one of the prominent citizens of
the border town.-Lordsburg Liberal.

The Arizona Gazette is looking for
the chance to cause a divided house
in both the Arizona political parties
and in that event Charley Akers'
Arizona republican league would be
the campaign hobby of the Gazette.
The democrats will be able to man
age their political affairs without the
assistance of Akers or any other re-

Martin w. Littleton, the Texas
Democrat who was elected to Con-
gress from the Oyster Bay district
last autumn, is against the recall of
Judges. In the course of the present
debate on the statehood bill in the
house he is quoted as asking: "Can
anyone explain when the recall of
judges was justiiable?"
Arizona will. get statehood, accord
