 MAINE-The electoral vote of Maine today stands for Wilson for the democratic vote will be heavy and it will be cast for the party candidates. The regular republican sentiment is anything to beat Roosevelt" which is likely to be of aid 10 the democrats in November.

Roosevelt forces. it is believed in Any quarters that Wilson and Marshall will carry the state. Wilson. Roosevelt and Taft would be the lineup al the present time. Elev- en of the sixteen congressional dis tricts are at present conceded to Will son. Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston is the democratic candidate for United States senator.
 MARYLAND-All indications point to a majority for Wilson in Maryland of 5000 to 10000 votes Careful can vass of all the dOunlies shows a widespread Wilson feeling. The total vote of Maryland is about 230.000. Democratic leaders are confident that Wilson will poll about 13O,OO0.
 MICHIGAN-Michig also is con. coded to be in the doubtful column, although Roosevelt is conceded to be in the lead at present. Taft's reCiproC ity activity has lost him the support of the granger vote, and it is believed Wilson will profit to some extent from this source.

The thirteen districts out in the state are safely democratic. The legislature will be democratic.
 NONTANA--State is fighting ground for all three parties. In a straight twO-party fight the republi- cans would win by 10000 or 15,O00. But with the factionalism between between Roosevelt and Taft evenly di- yided in November the democrats will easily carry the state.

NEW HAHPSHIRE-Dem leaders say the vote will be nearly equally divided between Taft and Roosevelt in November and that thus a plurality will be cast for Gov. Will son. Samuel D. Poker is making a strong democratic canvass for gov. ernor. It is admitted, however, that the state is in a chaotic condition and that an accurate indication of the strength of the three forces is out of the question at present. With three candidates for governor in the field 1t is believed the Legislature will be called upon to select an executive.

Thomas Ayres, however, is making a hard campaign as the dCm- ocratic nominee for United States senator The unknown factor is the La Toilette sentiment, which may crystalize at any time in the bulk for Wilson.
 UTAH-The progressive movement is making heavy inroads upon tine regular republican strength. The dem ocrats are conceded to be gaming sup port and have fair chance of put ting over the national ticket at least
 VERMONT-Shrewd political ob- servers declare Wilson will fight it out with Roosevelt in Vermont and that he will carry the state by 8 small margin. Fletcher, republican candidate for governor, probably will be elected by the legislature, which is republican by a small majority.
 WASHINGTON-The vast army Of women first voters is a factor that leaders of all three parties are count ing upon to turn the tide in their favor. Taft leaders admit the strength of the Roosevelt movement. The Bull Moosers are counting upon the sui frsgists' support in large measure. 
 WEST VIRGINIA-UHless the next four weeks of the campaign bring about a change, Wilson and Marshall will carry the state with ease. Polls taken by The Republic show that many sound money. protective tariff democrats, who refused to vote for B=yan. are returning to the fold
 WISCONSIN-In the event the Wis consin democrats settle their differ enoes over the income-tax law, the indications seem to point to the rela- tive finish of the three candidates in November as follows: Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt.

NEW JERSEY-Gov. Woodrow Will son will carry his home state in the November election.

Indications are it will drop below that cast for him as governor. but his packers are predicting an increase. Indications are Roosevelt will have a shade on Taft

Two Kinds of LeqisIation

The house and the senate of the
 Arizona legislature have proceeded almost from the beginning along diff ferent lines. Their methods have been equally different The senate has continually resorted to the caucus which "reformers' generally and pro gressives" particularly, profess to re gard as detestable and devilish device. No bill of importance has been passed except under the in fIuence of the caucus. In some cases after a heated session. the bill has emerged from the caucus with bare majority. The minority members
 were compelled to pocket their prin- 1 ciples. violate their oaths of office and vote for the measure on final pas
 sage, Thus some bills have passed
 the senate backed by the minority 1 sentiment of that body
 The house on the other hand, has permitted a free discussion of every measure and as a result every bill passed by that body has been passed
 by true majority, every member vot-
 ing his sentiments.
 1 However, we would slightly qualify
 the latter statement. In few in
 stances house members in order tha; | bills in which their constituents were especially interested might encounter | no obstacles in tie senate iOr the
 governors office have yielded to in-
 timidation and supported measures ! against their own convictions

 NEW YORK, June 1.-Irregularity and hesitation during the first hour followed by a degree of firmness to- ward the close were the salient feat ures of rOday's brief session of the stock market. More prominent issues including Reading. Lehigh. |. P, Can adian Pacific, Steel and other industri als closed with marked net gains. This doubtless resulted in part from the good support and the modicum of short covering
 Commercial agencies point to a slight reduction in bank clearings as com pared with a year ago, as a proof that general trade is again inclined to halt The only notable feature of the bank statement was the very small actual cash gain of little more than $800,00 whereas estimates made the gain from five to seven million.

If the governor was sincere when legislature he will call an election whether the legislature takes any ac- tion or not. But if he does not take that initial step. all will know that he was not sincere. The governor must have known that the legislature was poWerless to exert more than a moral influence in this matter. He must have known that the constitu- ton undertook to provide for the holding of elections and that if it had done so improperly or not clearly, the defect could not be remedied by the legislature
 The constitution must be amended or interpreted and neither act is with in the province of the legislature. In the first place the people alone can act and there is no time for amenr- ment providing for an election in November. Interpretations of the con- stitution can only be made by the supreme court before whom the con- troversy, if there should be one, may be easily and quickly brought.
 We have said that the people want an election next November because they were promised one. They might be willing to let that promise go by the board if it were not for the fact that on the second Tuesday of November We must have an eler- ton anyway, for a representative in congress and for a president at which time also We will vote on cer- tain amendments to the constitution This circumstance leaves no reason for an evasion of the promise made to the voters in the last campaign.
 But. again we urge upon the legis- lature, though it is in no way res ponsible. to act upon the governors recommendation. at least. to the eX- tent of the adoption of the resolution that no loophole of excuse may be left those who are responsible, for any dereliction of duty.

The Hatpin

Much has been written, mostly jocose, about the murderous hatpn of inordinate and growing length.
 Some municipalities have enacted ordinances regulating the length Of the hatpin. In those times it was less of a menace than it is now. The monstrous breadth of the brim swept far beyond the point of it so that the innocent bystander was really in no danger
 But now the danger is positive ana real with the change in style of hats without a corresponding moderation of the length of the hatpin. For instance, woman on Brill car the other day was wearing what we be- llieve is called turban shaped hat. a cOnical shaped affair with little, dinky brim or none at all. It was at
 tached to her hair by one of those pins which appertain to the hat of the cartwheel variety. There was real danger for at least four inches of the pin was unguarded.
 1 We are pleased, however, to observe reform in hatpins though they have not been shortened A sheath with q blunt end in many cases Ornamented, l is adjusted over the point entirely
 removing possibilities of serious in- jury to persons in the vicinity and
 at the same time adding another dec ora ton to the hat

WORK |S APPROVED
Examination by Experts Results Satisfactorily Barber Company Employ ing 222 Men; Its Monthly Payroll Over S22,000

The work of paving the streets of Phoenix goes on apace and as the days go by it is more and more evil dent that no public move was eyer made in this city that was fraught with better or more permanent re suits. Recent inspection by two eX- perts has added to the satisfaction of the people who are paying for the paving F. A. CressWell, the district manager of the Barber Asphalt com pany for Arizona and southern Cali,
 -ornia is one of them and he leaves tonight after several days spent in the city during which he went over every block that has been paved and examined it carefully.
 It might be cOntended by some that he would be a prejudiced expert in | view Of his connection with the com pany. the critic losing sight of the fact that it is quite important to the company as well as O the city that : is men do good work. But casting aside his testimony there is the cor rObOrative opinion delivered by Chief | Inspector Burge of the Warren Broth CTS company. He was also here for | several days and in company with i F. Hackett, of the paving commis- sion. made a careful examination of
 the paved district and fully approved all that has been done. The value of ! Mr. Burge's opinion lies in the fact
 that the Warren company owns the 1 bitulthic process used by the Barber company in surfacing the streets and
 is much concerned in seeing that if i is so applied that it will fill all re- [ quirements. Work now under way 1 is as follows.
 The bitulithc wearing surface is
 being applied to Adams street be- tween First and Fifth streets.
 The concrete base for paving is being laid on Second avenue between Washington and Jefferson streets.
 The preparation of sub grades and the laying of the gutters and curbs is under way on West Washington
 street between Fourth and Seventh avenues.
 Few have a proper realization of the magnitude of the work of the Barber people in laying the Phoenix pavements The monthly payroll amounts to about $22, ,0O0 which is distributed among considerably over 200 men. the present force numbering 222. Of these 1SO are employed on the city streets. 10 in the quarry and r in the office of the superintendent.

It was a well merited rebuke that the Maricopa delegation in the house administered to Senator Wood of this county. Nothing more surprising has occurred recently in connection with legislative matters than a publication by MT Wood of an article concern ing a member of the house delegation and a member of his own party whose sole offense was his want of accord with the governor and having q mind of his won MT Woods re- marks even if refined would have
 been improper. However. ttis IS democratic matter with which we have no concern.
