READY TO MOVE At
A MOMENTS NOTICE

DOUGLAS, AriZ., Sept. Equipped
with 100 rifles and 10000 rounds OF
ammunition, which were shipped into
this city, an organized body of COW
boys is prepared to move at a mo
mentS notice into Sonora. MevcO.
where Americans are said TO be grave
" imperiled.
The cowboys met secretly and cr-
ganiZed themselves into a military
body. 1t was declared that the inva-
sion of Sonora would be an accom-
plished fact within two or three DAYS.
The meeting was held behind close /
doors, and after reports were received
that Americans at the various mining
camps are now being threatened b.
marauding bands of Orozco rebels on
their way west the invading force
was recruited quickly. Millions of dol
lars worth of American property in
Sonora is said to be in imminent peril
of cOnfiscation or destruction.
The country south of Douglas is said
to be short of ammunition. Rebels Wis
tied Ysabel station, near the FL Tigre
mining camp, an American property
Merchandise valued at $1,000 was
taken from the company store. The
rebels then burned bridges and tore
up track on the NacoZari railway near
Ysabel. 80 miles south of the border
Another band of 400 rebels is reported
five miles north of the Ell Tigre camp

meeting this demand by offering their
property in lots of from twenty to
forty acres, which makes a good sized
irrigated farm, and when well culti-
waited this furnishes employment for
the owner and gives good compensa-
ton.
The real estate men report that de-
mand for these smaller holdings is
increasing, and predict an active mar
ket in this line, which has already
set in.
Every train that arrives in the val
ley now brings number of buyers,
and the activity of the present is but
the premonitiOn or the real boom
which is certain to be experienced
this fall.

JUST A LILLE REoIIEST

There are probably half the homes in
Imperial valley into which the Press
does not go regularly. The reason for
this. apparently, is that it is impossible
to get the other half of the people to
realize that they can get daily news
paper, with all the local and all the
worlds news for a dollar a year The
publishers are giving for 81 all that. most
publishers ask from 50 to S. for. and that
is why they feel at liberty to ask you to
speak to your neighbors about the Great
Dollar Daily. Help US make them real
lze what we are offering to them and thus
make the circulation of the Press uni
yersal throughout the valley. If

The purpose Of the Progressives ap-
pears only to be to defeat Taft, and
to destroy the Republican party.
Two years ago the Democrats, large
ly upon the tariff issue, elected a ma
Jority of about sixty of the represents
tives in congress, and while we have
believed that it was only temporary,
il is obvious that the protective argu-
ment was not to be so persuasive in
this campaign as it had been in pre-
vious campaigns; in fact, it looked. in
any event, like Democratic year and
a possible return to comparative free
trade even if the Republican party had
held together. Apparently the insur-
ger t-Progressives are not making anv
bid whatever for the votes of Demo-
Gratis. Certainly they are not trying to
win over free traders just now While
born and brought into existence to
fight the tariff, they are just now en-
gagged principally in warning us of
the evils and dangers of free trade, and
of the beauties and benefits Of protec-
tion. It is apparent that the Democrats 5
are standing comparatively solid, ana
that the Progressives are drawing mOre
than four votes out Of five from the
Republicans, and if they are suff-
ciently successful in this-in other
words, if Roosevelt and Johnson run
well at all-they will take away a
sufficient percentage of the Republican
votes to bring about the success of
the Democrats. That they, by this
process and without appealing to Dem
ocrats, could hope to get hold of
enough votes to elect the colonel and
the governor, is simply preposterous.
Therefore, we have the spectacle OF a
man twice made president of the
Uaited States by the Republican party.
and a man elected governor of his state
by the Republican party, apparently
more devoted to the defeat and dis
credit of that party than they are to
the defeat of the Democratic party. We
therefore have a right to say that
whatever its future hopes, purposes or
ambitions may be, the Progressive par
ty in this campaign has settled down
to a vindictive, determined effort 10
defeat and, if possible, destroy the
Republican party, with no present hope
or intent of defeating the Democratic
party in this campaign.

AND PROTECTION
IBy "a Standpat Republican,

This campaign began apparently as
an insurrection against the tariff, and
it is apparently to end in an equally
powerful crusade in its favor. The
most astonishing of all the astonishing
things that have occurred in this cam
paign is the appearance of the Pro-
gressives as advocates of the protect
i've tariff.
When we remember that insurgency
had its origin when certain members
of the Republican party insurged
against the tariff, we will get clearer
i6ea of the real situation. The Re
publican party had been for half a
century practically united upon the
question of the protective tariff What
ever differences may have existed on
other lines we always rallied and won
upon the issue of protection. But some
six or eight years ago crusade was
begun by the newspapers and maya
zines to discredit the tariff and TO
cause the American people to believe
that the protective tariff was the
source of evil and the mother of the
trusts.
shortly after this crusade began, for
the first time, a distinctive division
appeared in the Republican party.
Within a short time divisions appeared
both in the house and in the senate
particularly in the former, and there
developed a distinct spirit of insur-
gency in the Republican party against
the tariff and those Republicans who
opposed the party's position in con
nection with protection were referred
to alWaVS as 'inSurgentS."
Congressman S. C. Smith is credited
a about this time with having said,
There are many definitions for insur
gency, but there is one definition that
never fails. An insurgent is a Repub
lican who always votes with the Dem
Ccrats on the tariff"
While this was before Colonel Roose-
welt had absorbed the party and re-
christened it the progressive party"
it is nevertheless true that. as a con
tinuous, consistent policy ever since
this party came into existence. whether
it be called the Insurgent party or the
Progressive party, it has upon every
occasion-we invite inspection of the
record-voted with the Democrats (and
sometimes, when even the Democrats
were divided) for every measure and
every bill for the reduction of the pro-
tective tariff.

OF course, the insurgents are histor
