Don't Want Governor
Sloan
House and Senate Will Pro-
test Against His Appoint
ment as Federal
Judge

Phoenix, Ariz., March 20. A
memorial resolution protesting
against the confirmation Of Pre-
sident Taft's appointment of ex-
Gov. Richard E. Sloan as United
States District Judge for Arizona
and addressed to the United
States Senate has been framed in
the State Senate here, unanimo-
usly approved in caucus by Dem
ocratic Senators, and will be
brought to the attention Of the
House of Representatives by a
Senate Committe of three, appo-
lnted for that purpose, consisting
Of Senators Homer Wood, Pres
colt; A. A. Worsley and John T.
Hughes, Tucson.
1t is probable that the House
will choose a committee Of three
members to confer with the
Senate Committe concerning the
resolution, the framing Of which
is supposed to have been a direct
result of the action of the Ari-
zona Bar Association in endors-
ing him yesterday. The Senate
resolution is very positive in its
condemnation Of Sloan, refers to
the alleged active part he took
against the adoption Of the State
Constitution, and charges him
with irregularities as former
District Judge and Governor.

Joe McAlister in Trouble

Lee Stern, a carpenter employ
ed by the Chino Company at Hur-
ley, got into an alteration with a
Mexican in a saloon near that
town on Friday evening last. As
climax Of the row, Stern is SAID
to have hit opponent on the head
with six-shooter. The Mexican n
was not seriously hurt, but the
gln-went off and the bullet Kit
bartender, Jach Dunlop, in the
shoulder, inficting a wound th1t
is not believed to be serious, bit
which sent him to the hospit; |.
No important organ was hit Iy
the bullet, but it is still in the
mans body and efforts to loca ee,
it have been unsuccessful.
AS a result Of the row, Joe NJ CT
Allister, the proprietor of the
saloon, was arrested and brought
before Judge Newcomb on a
charge of having firearm in a
saloon contrary to law. He was
declared guilty and fined one
hundred dollars and costs and
sentenced to three months in the
county jail. An appeal was en-
tered and bond given for his ap-
pearance. Silver City Independ-

judges erMine it is because Of
the fact that the federal bench
itself has sunk to the low plane
of Sloan's judicial infamy and
only corporation hirelings are
qualified to serve in that capa-
city.
The naked story of this Incl
dent alone is sufficient to disquali-
fly Sloan in the eyes of every
honest man, but if it be necess-
ary the Appeal is, fortified with
corroborative evidence which at
the proper time will appear in
these columns that the public
may Judge as to the fitness of
Sloan's appointment, the charac-
ter of the federal judiciary and
the patriotism of a president
who makes such scandalous ap-
pointments.
Sloan is of the judicial breed
Of Grosscup, Hook, Mcpherson,
Phillips and Anderson, whose
career on the bench has impeach-
ed the honesty of the federal
courts and made the federal
bench the scandal of the nation.

Politician Dies in Want
Well known Arizona Char.
acter Dies in Hospital
Without Friends or
Money

Phoenix, March Fl. -Penniless
and almost friendless, John F.
Knapp, formerly one Of the poll
tical leaders of Arizona, died last
night, at St. Joseph's hospital.
His body is being held by Moore
& Mcclellan, pending instructions
from a sister who lives in Los
Angeles.
John Knapp was the first rail-
road agent at Yuma after the
Southern Pacific was built. 1t was
in 1877 that he was sent to that
point. He was a republican. and
Immediately began to take part
in politics. Mr.. Knapp was elect
ed from Yuma county to the as
sembly of the eleventh legislatu-
re and was made speaker of that
body.
After the legislature adjourned
he was transferred to- Tucson,
and made train dispatcher. He
continued his political activity
and was elected from Pima coun-
ty to the council of the twelfth
legislature.
While at Yuma Mr.. Knapp was
interested in a newspaper and at
Tucson he was interested in the
Citizen. He did not remain
long there after the twelfth legis-
lature but resigned his position
with the railroad and drifted up
into the northwest, where he
promoted various enterprises.
Little is known of his life after
he left Arizona, but for several
years ,prior to his death he spent
most of his time in Washington.
A few weeks ago he returned to
Arizona for his health. Few Of
his old friends recognized him
and he felt lost among the popu-
lation that was so different from
the Arizona people that he knew
in the old days.
Aside from his sister in Los
he leaves a wife and a
sister who live in Indiana, He
was a member of the Masons and
Knights of Pythias.

Now that C. P. Dunn, the Re-
blican member of the Board con
templates (or it is rumored that
he intends to) resinnging and
move to Ell Paso, there could be
no better Democrat or business
ability selected for the vacancy
than 3. w. Taylor and inasmuch
as Mr.. .Taylor's friends in the
valley and in Clifton are going to
force him to make the race for.
that office this year it would be
fitting that he be selected should
a vacancy occur.
So far as we know Mr.. Taylor
has not been consulted about this
matter but it is case, this time,
of the office hunting the man..
Various persons in Clifton have
asked us about how would Mr..
Taylor do for SUPERVISOR" We
would like to see a man like
Taylor on the Board & etc. He
is known all over the county for
his business ability and this ap-
peals to the voter when it comes
to this particular office; he has
no past political record to make
against him and would not only
poll the full vote of his party
but would get hundreds of Repu-
blican votes.

One Trusty Got Away

Phoenix. Ariz. March 20. One
of the convicts whom Gov. Hunt
recently placed upon his honor
not to attempt to escape, a Mexi-
can named Chappo, disregarded
his word and slipped away from
the penitentiary at Florence to-
day and up to a late hour tonight
had not been captured.
Chappo was working outside
the prison walls when he escaped.
He would not have got away SO
easily except FOR the fact that he
was attended by a guard, who.
in accordance with Hunts orders
was unarmed. Chappo waited
until his work permitted him to
get as far away from the guar(.
as possible without attracting un-
due attention then he ran as hard
as he could, knowing that he
would not be shot. He had .
good start and soon disappeared
In the brush.

An Ohio Platform

S. D. Webb, a candidate from
the Eleventh congressional dis
trict to the Democratic national
convention, has issued the fol-
lowing platform
1t is fact admitted by all that
there are two factions in the
Democratic party, known as the
rprogressives" and the 4'reac-
tionaries;;" the former are the
Bryan followers, and the latter
Wall street Democrats.
In 1896 the Democat party was
practically dead; the blunders
and the criminal bond issues of
the administration made the party
the laughing stock of the Ameri-
can people.
The nomination Of William Jen-
nings Bryan that year caused the
Democratic party to take on new
life and in a battle against great
odds and party treachery. Mr..
Bryan polled almost 100000
votes, and would have been elect
ed had it not been for the party
traitors who supported and voted
for John M. Palmer (gold Demo-
craft for president.
Foremost among these party
traitors,to the Democrat party in
1896 was Judson Harmon of Ohio,
a member of Cleveland's cabinet
and it is said was conspicueusly
associated with the Infamous J.
Pierpont Morgan bond deal Of
1894. Notwithstanding the trea-
cherry of Judson Harmon to the
regular Democratic nominee in
1896; his record as a 'straddler"
since he became governor of
Ohio; his persistent refusal to ap-
point Democrats to important
state positions but appointed
known Republicans instead; and
his retention in office of Republi-
can politicians not in sympathy
with Democratic policies, the
'reactionaries" (whose leaders
are chiefly office-holders under
Harmon) are seeking to secure
the nomination of the governor
for president which would mean
a more'ignominious and humilat-
ing defeat to the Democratic par
ty than was administered to it in
1904.
Presenting these facts to the
Democratic central committee of
Athens county the members were
asked for an expression as to
whether or not they would give
me their active support for dele
gate from the eleventh congress
sional district of Ohio to the Dem
ocratic national convention to be
held in Baltimore next June.
Having received assurances of
support from a very decided ma
Jorlty of the committee | hereby

to the coming Democratic nation
al convention, and ask the sup
