A Minor Accident.

C. NJ. Bovee, the local agent for
the Grand Union Tea Company, met
with an accident last Saturday
which, for the nature of it, might
have resulted disastrously. Coming
down a steep incline on the Wagner
creek road in his delivery wagon, the
tongue dropped, frightening the
horses, which became unmanagable
and tipped the wagon over, pinning
Mr.. Bovee beneath it. Several men
working near the scene of the acci-
dent came to his assistance and II
was found that, aside from some
painful bruises which confined him
to his room for a few days, he was
uniniured. The horses were cap
tured several miles down the road.
The damage to the wagon was slight.

MUCH PROGRESSIVE SENTIMENT
Vermont Election Shows Presence of
Important New Political Factor.

White River Junction. Vermont,
Sept. 3.-The strength of the pro-
gressive party in the first lineup
against the older parties and the dis
of a republican majority
for the first time in ten years and
the first time in the history OF the
state on a presidential year were the
outstanding features of the state
election in Vermont today.
With two-thirds of the vote COM
plete, it is evident that Fletcher, the
republican candidate for governor,
has fallen between 5000 and 5000
votes behind the majority necessary
to elect. Out of the 246 cities and
towns 10 give Fletcher 1859;
Howe, democrat, 12,722; Metzger,
progressive, 1O,76O. A sufficient
number of republican representa-
tives are successful to insure the
choice of Fletcher by the legislature.
For years it has ben pointed out
that any decrease in the republican
majority in Vermont in September
below the normal of $4,000 has been
followed almost invariably by party
defeat in the presidential fight in
November.
Majorities of past years were rep
resented today by bare plurality
I he republican loss went in a great
degree to the progressives and lesser
to the democrats.
The falling off in the republican
vote began with the first returns
while the progressives gained al
along the line, in some cases carry.
I ing towns heretofore regarded as
strongly republican. Yet the disaf
fection from the republican ranks
did not extend very far beyond the
| head of the ticket.
| The failure of the candidates tC
get a majority at the polls throws
the election into the legislature. The
progressive leaders are great!
/ pleased with the results. The demo
Gratis are also pleased at. the gains
shown by the early returns.

Abolish the System.

Cummins asserted that the only
way to make sure that the system
employed in Chicago would be abol-
ished was to make it plain that the
candidate, the product of such sys-
tenn, cannot be elected.
Because / cannot support Presi-
dent Taft" declared Cummins, lit
does not necessarily follow that | am
not a republican. ! consider that [
am a better republican than ever,
for it is clear to me that the exist
ence of the party depends upon a
quick and emphatic condemnation of
the wrongs | have mentioned. The
reason the republicans are so largely
against President Taft is that they
profoundly believe that he is not
progressive and does not believe, in
the proper sense, that the people
should rule. The fact that this is
the attitude of the vast majority
proves to me that new party is not
necessity, but untimely and unfor-
tunate. fear it will retard rather
than hasten the necessary reforms.
Appeals to Republicans.
al shall vote for Roosevelt because
believes he desires to promote COM
mon welfare. 1t does not indicate,
however, that | look upon the new
party as a wise and enduring move
ment
MY chief concern in the present
campaign will be that the republican
party in Iowa elect the candidates
nominated in the June primaries.
These candidates were honestly NOM
mated, and | appeal to all republic
cans to support them"

CUMMINS FOR
COL. ROOSEVELT
LOYAL TO STATE TICKET But
BOLTS TAFT.
WILL OPPOSE A THIRD. TICKET
Iowa Senator Dissents From Some Of
the Doctrines in Progressive Plat
fOrm-Declares Taft Administra-
ton Has Not Made Good.

Des. Moines, Iowa, Sept 3.-Pre-
ferring Theodore Roosevelt for presi-
dent over William H. Taft, Senator
Albert B. Cummins of Iowa an
nounced today that although he was
not in sympathy with the new pro
gressive party and dissents from
some of the doctrines in its platform,
he would vote for Colonel Roosevelt
because the Taft administration has
not made good"
Cummins also announced his oppo-
sition to the nomination of a third
ticket in Iowa, which is expected to
be put in the field when the progress
sive state convention meets here to-
morrow. Roosevelt is to address the
delegates and is expected to urge the
nomination of a third state ticket.
CumminS Announcements.
In announcing his determination
to vote for Roosevelt, Cummins said
1T must be understood that | do
so protesting against the organiza-
tion of a new party but dissenting
! from some of the doctrines. con-
tanned in the platform. But the re-
publicans of this country are opposed
to President Taft because his admin
istration has not done the things
which the people believe should have
been done"
Open charges that the republican
national committee stole" delegates
from Arizona, California, Washing
ton and Texas for President Taft was
also voiced by the Iowa senator
THE delegates seated from these
states" Cummins continued, had
absolutely no title to their seats. If
the convention had changed the old
system of nominating in obedience to
the popular demand, leaders of the
new movement might have had pa
tience and waited, but, as though
wanting to furnish every reason for
revolt, they attempted to fasten
| the old system more fully upon us.
If this were all, we would be amply
/ justified in overthrowing the system
and refusing to accept the nominee
of the convention, but this is not
all"

Exective Committee Holds Session to Determine

A meeting of the executive commit tee of the Warren District Roosevelt club was held last night. It is under stood that the purpose of the meet ing was 0 canvas the returns on the post card election for presidential preference The returns. u is said show trat Of those who expressed themselves the preference of Cochise county is strongly for the colonel. the ratio being about three tC one fJI either of 5he other three candidates, Taft, LaFollette ana Cummins.
 The canvas was necessarily a lin tied one and may or may not warrau the belief that the cow-punchlng col onel is a prime fayOrite in the coun ty. Whether those who did not re ply to the post card query are Tor some other candidate or they refused to answer on the ground that voter should not express preference in black and white before election day is problematical. though it is under stood that a considerable number dir not answer the query.
 It is known that the La Toilette men did not generally enter the pOstcaru poll but followed the example of their chief and let the Taft and Roosevelt followers fight it ont.
 It is understood that republican del egates to the national convention Of that party at Chicago will be elected by convention, though the delegates to the state convention will be nomi. mated by a primary. No action has been taken toward this end as yet. however. The matter if left 10 the state chairman and he in turn will probably put the matter up 10 the county com mittees.
 Having completed it's poll of the county, It is probable that the Rooss- welt wing of the party, through the several clubs that have been organized in this county. will take the field open ly al an early date in an effort to land Arizona in the Roosevelt column.

BOTH STATES ID WIN
 OhE OF LONG TERMS
Lot Drawing at Washing ton Will Decide
 Mooted Point

Numerous inquiries have been heard since the election of United States senators for the two new states, Ari- zona and New Mexico. as to the ar rangement that will be made relative to the long and short term Of office these inquiries being further stimu- lated by the fact that both states elected senators the same day and that previously it was generally taken for granted that the state electing frs; would obtain the longer term There will be two five year terms and one two and one one year term. IL is pro yided that two senators from the same state cannot have terms expiring at the same time and this will mean that one of each state will have a five year term.
 Before leaving Phoenix for Wash. ineton Mark Smith stated that it was probable that a senator from each state would draw a paper from hat there being !n the hat two slips. one blank and the other 1917. The one drawing the 1917 slip will have the long term from his state and the colleague of the senator drawing the blank 10 be the long term senator from the other state. After this the two other senators will draw for the long and short term. that Is the one year and the two year.
 The same suggestion that is made by Mark Smith is made in the Albu- auerque Journal. This paper says that such drawing will be done under the supervision of the senate.
