NOT QUITE JOY RIDE


 mov ement. Automobiles bearing the Henson survivors association are whisking to and fro between county points. with the two big shows only two days away. There is soms thing brewing in republican politics in Co chise. and it isn't tea--though il has to do with Tal-tea
 In the Bishee personals yesterday morning was the brief. inane little note that J. F.. Morrison had gone to Douglas on business. Cassidy is said to have been also at Douglas Tuesday night. but yesterday it was said that the big boss had merely gone out for little ride The lit. tie ride. it appears, was from one end of the county to the other. The fol lowing from the Douglas international tells ut a mysterious seance at that city Tuesday night
 Wearing pair of gum shoes, and travelling only through the back alleys of the city, Mike Cassidy, the G. O. P. boss of Bisbee, was in Douglas last night. Cassidy came with J. F. Morri- son and John Wilson Ross, also of Bisbee. At first it was thought that this trio might be lodging the small poX epidemic, and their attempt to keep their identity unknown was be cause of fear of bsing pulled by the quarantine officers in this city. but all there guesses about the business of Cassidy and his Bisbee friends in Douglas last night were wrong.
 This morning the gentleman re- lied on for correct political dope in this office. brought in the word that last night in the office of Richard. son and DOan there was a meeting of the Taft republicans in this city, about all that could be found here, and that the meeting was for the pur- pose of giving Boss Cassidy an op- portunity to issue orders 10 the Taft ties in regard to what kind of ammu- milton should be- used next Saturday night at the meeting Of the repubh can committee in Bisbee, when the sixteen delegates from this county will be named for the republican state convention to be held in Tue. scIi.
 Those who attended the conference in the law office last night were J. F.. Cassidy, John Wilson Ross and J. F. Morrison, of Bisbee; Dr. F. T. Wright. Judge A. Nj. Sames, w. r. McNai.. John DOan. F. F.. Caldwell, F. T. Dun lap. Bert Grove and Frank Doan
 Boss Cassidy did the gumshoe act so effectively last night that today, though a list of those present at the conference was obtained early this morning, it was imF possible to get one of them to give out any information concerning what was said, what was done or what was desired to be ac- complished, though the fact that all present were loyal followers of Taft in the presidential contest would in dicate that the purpose was to devise ways by which the steam roller, cap !. tured from the regular committee al Benson recently by the followers oi the colonel in this county, might be recovered to do duty for the Taftites on next Saturday night at Hisbee.'
 Tombstone is Visited The party of Taftistas next went to Tombstone, the home Of Chairman Gardner, of the county central com mi:See, and unless they are some where else, they are at Tombstone this morning. There is certainly something in the air, and the Roose- welt leaders appear to be as much in doubt as 10 the me anlng or thlS llttle | movement as anyone else.
 With Cassidy. Morrison and Gard ner in one place at the same time, the Roosevelt men will do well to consult a Talmist before taking any ! important step.
 MT. Cassidy was reached by phone at his residence last night, and asked about the Douglas trip, but he was apparently in a jolly mood, for he jollied the reporter. Referring to the authority for the statement that he was at Douglas, he laughed and said: That was merely one of George Kelly's political pipes" He l said he had not seen the Internationl ] story, however. Beyond saying that the two days preceding the two re- publican meetings would be as full ! of action as a soda fountain, he would not take the reporter into his conf. | dence
 An interesting political report was 1 afioat yesterday that the Roosevelt | faction of the central committee had 1 employed a prominent Bisbee attor. l ney, who is considered an authority | on parliamentary tactics, to advise | them This attorney is a democrat. | and he will act merely as an employed ! parliamentarian for the Roosevelt 1 faction, his client, if the report be | true.
