sor case showed that the Senate DEM
Ccrats are the ones who are really saw
ing Senator Stephenson from being ous-
ted. Fifteen Of them are looked on as
being fer him. Those Democrats who
voted TO save Stephenson yesterday
were Senator Pomerene of Ohio, Ray
ner, Newlands, Johnston OF Alabama,
Fletcher, Foster, Chiffon. and Watson.
Senator Bankhead who is managing
the Underwood campaign, was paired
for Stephenson. In addition, the fol-
lowing Democratic Senators, who were
absent, are regarded as for Stephenson:
BaBiley Paynter, Smith OF Maryland,
Thornton, Martin. and Swanson.
ON the other hand, the progressive
Republicans voted sooidly against Sena-
tor Stephenson yesterday, except Sena-
tor La Toilette. who was absent, and
they will do 80 today, at the same time
being REINFORCED by the Wisconsin
leader.
The situation in the Senate is suf-
flciently close that IL only part of the
Democrats who are for Stephenson
were to oppose him he would certainly
be ousted.
Pomerene Makes Address.
When the Senate met at II o'clock
this morning, Senator Pomerene of
Ohio led Off with a speech for Stephen
son. 1nasmuch as Senator Pomerene
is looked OH as the right-hand man OF
Governor Judson Harmon, candidate for
President, there Is a disposition to at
tarh considerable significance to his
attitude.
Senator Stephenson has said repeat
edly that when he started in this cam
paign he cautioned his managers to
keep within the law" Pomerene assert
ed "He was an old man of great
business cares. He gave little II any
attention to the campaign, and in his
failure TO do SO he was at fault
But in my judgment, instead of
charging that this money was corruptly
used in the corruption of voters, we
would come as near 10 the truth IL we
were to say that the greater part OF
this money never left the hands OF
those who received Il. The failure ol
some of the men properly to account
for their disbursements Is referablt
rather 10 the fact that they did not
disburse II than to the fact that II was
disbursed Illegally.
THE primary cost Senator stephen
son $l.S9 for every vote he received
That this was extravagant expenditure
of money and that the law ought not
to have permitted It, no one will deny
"I shall not hesitate to place respon
sibilty for the eXtravagant. use OF
money in elections, in great part, where
II belongs. and that is here in Con
gress, and the Wisconsin legislature
where legislators, cognizant of these
evil practices, failed for so many years
to enact laws to prevent their continu'
ance."

The appearance of Senator La Fol-

number of Senators are urging him to
do so.

Senate met this morning his friends
were still nervous and apprehensive
over the outcome of the vote late yes

two votes lacking to oust the aged mil
lionaire, who was willing to pay $107, ,00(
to carry the Wisconsin primaries.
The vote was q to %, much closer than
the friends of Stephenson expected. The
vote came suddenly and unexpectedly

Frank Murphy Says Plans are Under
 Way For Increased Production.

President Frank M. Murphy of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix rail- road was a business visitor in Phoe- nix and the following interview given the Republican:
 T believe that in the near future we will have one of the biggest min nig plants in Arizona at Imperial. Just now we are working along lines of preparation for the work to come. I am making frequent trips to the Imperial country and each time I am more and more impressed with the fu- ture of the development work now go- ing on.
 There is no truth in the statement published here recently that the Gug- genheims are about to secure control of the Christmas mine. The Christ mas mine is not for sale. We are shipping out carload after carload of ores from Christmas to the Sasco smelter, blending the ores from Christ mas with those of Imperial. There is a bright future for both these proper ties. The Arizona Development com pany is handling large quantities of ore right now and later on will be handling a great deal more"

ATTACK |S MADE ON
 FULL CREW LAW
Train Porters of the A. T. & S. F. Sue Out Injunction Against the En- forcement of Clause the Full
 Crew Measure.

An unexpected attack was made this week in Phoenix on the full crew law of the last legislature, recently submitted to a referendum vote. The plaintiffs are T. B. Simpson, K. R. Corners, T. E. Fugate, B. M. Key holds, H. F. Murry, William Johnson, Frank Carroll, J D. Walton and R. l.. Tayler. Suit is directed against the members of the corporation commis- sion, the attorney general and the county attorneys of the various coun- ties through which the line of the At ellison, Topeka and Santa Fe run.
 The plaintiffs are negro porters em- ployed on Santa Fe trains and are residents of Albuquerque. They are represented by Messrs. Wilson and Lewis, attorneys of Albuquerque, the papers being presented by MT. Lewis in person.
 As the law will go into effect on December 1, there was not the time to take the course pursued by the railroads in the attack upon the three cent fare law, of applying to the ninth circuit court of ppeals for an injunction. Application was therefore made direct to Judge Sloan who issued a temporary restraining the law until December g the time fixed for the hearing in the three cent fare cases.
 The order is also directed against the SantaFe railroad for a reason here matter explained. The plaintiffs do not attack the whole law but only the clause of it requiring that trains run ming out of railroad yards shall have a brakeman and a flagman, the lat ter to have one years experience.
 The porters complain that they have been performing the duties Of flagmen but they have not been so
