training. It's queer sort of philoso- phy and Illustrates in an aggravated sense the belief in the infallibility of the tomorrow. It's the easiest thing ina ginable on the thirtieth of Decem- beI to swear off on the first of January. The difficulty comes when the re- formed one tries to make the affidavit stick
 This morning there are enough re- formed men in Phoenix to make glad the heart of an evangelist: and three weeks hence a sufficient number of them will have fallen from grace to send the grabbed cynic into the sev- enth heaven of malicious delight. Swearing aif never has been a success and it probably never will be a sue cess. You might as we'll ask a cat to renounce it's appetite for the canary birds as ro ask your nature to re- nouncc it's carefully nurtured desires without some sort of training. And that is the reason men swear off but don't stay sworn.

The New Year.

To all its readers. The Republican wishes a happy and prosperous New Year. May they all prosper accord ing to their own best wishes And ii they do not have all they want may they have at least as much as they need. with something left over for the less fortunate
 The New Year is supposed to be a time for plans and dreams and high resolves: but in reality We are more inclined to make of it a time sacred to retrospection. Somehow. at the begin ming of each twelvemonth. thoughts of the past inevitably obtrude them selves and nothing seems quite So apropos as an inventory of the past.
 Much has happened since January first. nineteen and eleven. Much has happened. especially in Arizona. Here there has been the birth of a state. at leas- a partial birth. that is 10 be consummated in the days soon tO come. The people of Arizona have done well in the last year. and let us hope they will do equally as well or better in the months to come.
 This is a time for optimism. IL is a time for nope. We all know. for hu- man experience has taught us the les son. that not all our dreams will be realiZed-not all our hopes fulfilled. And well for us that this is true. For with the crown of success upon every hope. there would come satiety: and then death to ambition and the desire that turns the wheels of progress.
 Nineteen hundred twelve is here. II is the New Year. the best year ,his old world has ever known. l: has more of accomplishment behind it and it has more of opportunity within its grasp than any year of all the centuries that have gone. We welcome it for what it is and for what it prom ises. And though We get of it but a fleeting glimpse as it rides through on the chariot of eternity. we know the year is good, for it is made by Him who doeth all things well

Swearing Off.

This is the time of year when the again" when the profanity expert resolves to cuss no more. when the man with the losable temper decides that henceforth and forever he will keep his angry passions at the zero mark: when the itinerant vendors Of scandal and gossip turn over an un- soiled leaf on which to write the rec ord of the New Year; and when the members of the International Associa- ton of Free and Accepted Male Chim- neys declares jointly and severally on their respective words of honor that henceforth and forever the blight Of nicotine shall not mar the purity of their fair young lives.
 In other words. these gentlemen. who belong to the Society of Habitual Offenders. suddenly conceive that their wishbones have become bacllbones and they make a sudden grab for a choice assortment of halos. They do it reg ularly the first of every year.
 This is what is called swearing off. It's a pleasant sort of habit for every body. and is not at all harmful. except to the trade of the dealers in cigars and liquid refreshments. These men notice sudden slump in the market, which is likely to last from one to three weeks. And then the drinkers and the smokers and the swearers are back at their old trades again with a delightful sense of freedom and with each one. apparently, possessed with frantic desire to make up for lost time.
 There is strange thing about this swearing off business Humanity at large. or at least sizeable section of it. seems to think there is some sort of magic spell about the New Year that will enable them to become past masters in the art of being good all at once without any sort of preliminary

Bryan replied by saying that
the two cases were like those of
an attorney defending a criminal
after the act, and one conspiring
with him in the act.
Boss Murphy, of Tammany
hall, was himself redhot. He felt
he had been fimfamed by the
Clark managers, who had told
him they could put Clark over
with New York's 90, and had
failed.
The bitterness became evident
early today-and the wavering
toward Wilson.
Indiana, Iowa and Illinois deel-
cations went into caucus before
the convention was called to or
der.
Indiana decided to desert Gov.
Marshall, and throw its strength
to Wilson, except one or two
votes to keep Sen. Kern in the
running.
Iowa split II to IA for Clark
and Wilson, and on the 31st bal
lot Iowa cast II votes for Clark
and IS for Wilson, whereupon
Rep. Clayton, then holding down
the,chair for Ollie James, ordered
the vote cast as unit for VIII
son.
It was Iowa's vote that finally
put Wilson in the lead.
The next state to desert Clark
for Wilson was Wyoming, then
3, of Alaska S g votes, which had

roll was called, demanded q
chance to explain his vote.
He got it, and took the oppor-
tunity to denounce Bryan, whom
he called "a .favor-hunting,
money-grabbing, publicity-seek-
ing marplot."
He also said Bryan was the
richest and most powerful man
in the.convention outside of Ryan
and Belmont.
At the end of his spiel, he. cast
his vote for Woodrow Wilson,
thus causing great surprise.
Roger Sullivan of Illinois was
greatly disturbed today. Sullivan
wants to support Wilson, because
he thinks Wilson can win.
But Murphy has given out the
word that he never will stand for
Wilson under any circumstances,
and if Sullivan swings Illinois for
Wilson he'll have to break away
from New York.
John B. Knox, Ala, the gentle
man who had to have the atten1
ton of two coppers Saturday,
wanted to introduce harmony

lowed to introduce it without
reading it and it was referred to
the resolutions committee.
The break of Indiana to Wil3
son came. on the 18th ballot, and
after that things began to move
quicker. >
