ELECTION BILL HAS
SOME NEW FLAWS NOW

Phoenix, Ariz., July 13.-Always IN
tense in their political prejudices as
in their political fealty. the Democrats
of this county, and in fact the entire
! state. are just now harboring a great
! deal Of resentment against Eugene S
Ives, Of Tucson, one of the delegates
to the Baltimore convention, and the
man who so far as Arizona is con-
cerned, led the revolt against Champ
Clark and the movement that gave
the presidential nomination to Wood
row Wilson There were both surprise
and CONSERVATION here when the news
came from the convention that Ives
/ had broken his instructions and had
deserted to the enemy" but it is
alleged that only just now the real
reason has come to light. And that
reason, it is said, is based on patron
age-On the promise by the men in
charge of the Wilson fight at the con
ventiOn that in the event of the nomi-
nation and election of their chief, Ives
would be taken care of by an appoint
ment- This appointment, it is said on
high authority, is to be the federal
judgeship for the district of Arizona.
the position Tor which former governor
Sloan is the Republican aspirant.
The affair is one of the most inter-
esting that the complicated politics
of Arizona has presented in long time.
It is interesting not only so far as it
latiOn to the fortunes of other men.
For. It is quite certain, if the scheme
goes through a couple of prominent
Arizona politicians will have consider
able explaining to DO &c their constitu-
encles- These men are the two Arizona
senator's Smith and Ashurst.
Smith and AShurst have so far sue
ceeded in holding up the confirmation
of the former governors appointment;
and 1t looks as though their deter
him. This may be accomplished
through an adverse vote or it may be
accomplished through the prevention
of a vote at the present session. In
either event the result will be the
same; for its is believed that if Mr..
Sloan is not confirmed at this session
he will not be confirmed at all, re-
gardless of the result of the next cleo
ton and regardless of the future COM
plexiOn of the senate.
Ives has been a Wilson man from
the beginning. This fact has never ]
been concealed Yet, when the state It
the primaries went for Clark so over /
whelmingly, and since the Democrats /
were absolutely pledged to the pri- I
mary system and TO the plan Of IN I
Structing convention delegates, the
Pima county contingent was willing to /
take a chance and send Mr.. Ives TO the 1
convention.
However. it is charged the sequel 7
showed that their confidence was mis- |
would be nominated, Ives switched to !
Wilson and in 50 doing took with him /
two other Arizona delegates, DR.. F. E. |
Shine, of COchise, and attorney Phil |
lips, of Globe.
The case was not understood at the |
time; and at first there were many /
who said il would be well to suspend /
Judgment, that the Tucson man might /
have an explanation that would be sat J
isfactOry to everybody. But the eX- /
PLANTATION, so far from being satisfac- !
tory, has only added fuel to the flame /
of Indignation. For it has been pretty |
generally charged that Ives made his |
break under direct promise of pat
ronage held out to him by the Wilson I
leaders.
To make matters worse, it IS openly |
charged that the interests" have had a
good deal to do with it. Mr.. Ives is one
Of the best attorneys in the state. In |
fact he has perhaps the best practice 1
of any Arizona lawyer, his income
amounting to $4,000 a year In view
expressed that he would care for a
judicial position; but this is not so
strange in view of the fact that last |
fall he entered the race for the senate,
a position that pays only slightly more |
in salary and whose expenses are i'm
bly, higher.
But about the question of the in
-erests." 1t is pointed out that Mr.. !
Ives is attorney for the Southern Pa [
-ific and several other large corpora
lions. Also. that Dr. Shine, one of the
men who went with him when he de-
