THE CONVENTION.

As time approaches for assemb- ling of the conventions which will participate in the selection of the delegates to the national conven- tions public interest in Arizona is manisfested as to men and me- thods. So far as are concerned our democratic friends there has been a call for selection of dele gates to the national convention by state wide primary, and the various aspirants for delegateship are announcing themselves and their claims. But the republican party has called a convention to select their national delegates from Arizona, and in the call there has been given a great deal of latitude to the county committees. The committee can call a primary election in the various precincts, or primary mass meetings to se- lect delegates to the county Conven- tion, which in turn will select delegates to the state convention, or the committee itself may select the delegates to the state conven- tion. Whichever method is adopted by a county convention has the advance sanction of the state central committee, and will be re- gular. The county committees are called to meet on the 18th inst. to designate the method. And by whatever method selected the de- legates to the state convention are to be named on the 25th and the convention will assemble at Tue son on June Sd.
 So far as THE OASIS has been able to ascertain the general senti- ment in Santa Cruz county is that the delegation to the state conven- tion shall be selected by direct primary, and that it shall go un- instructed. Also that when it gets there it shall stay in the regular convention and not participate in any bolt should there be one. Re-

Their problem is vastly more difficult
than ours. and the conditions under
which their working women live far
worse than we know. That hundreds
of women have declared themselves
willing to die for their cause, if that is
necessary is proof of their earnestness
and sincerity and their need of what
they demand All the liberties that have
been granted to the people of England
have been gained by a show of force.
