Inevitable Club For Third Term Boom Is Now Under
 Way
BACKING STRONG OPPOSITION

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 30.-The Roos evelt third term boom has at last struck Arizona It materializes in the same form in which the boom has come to other places-a Roosevelt club whose members are pledged to the task of sending Roosevelt dele gation to the Republican national con- vention at Chicago. The organiza- tion, which, will have it's headquarters here will be statewide in it's scope and will exert strong influence in state politics, it's promoters say.
 The movement here is headed by former governor Joseph w. Kibbey, who was Roosevelt appointee and who served four years as governor of the territory preceding the incumben- cy of the present governor, and Dwight B. Heard, a personal friend of MT. Roosevelt Both of these men are hard at work securing names of men themselves to work for the nomina- ton of the former chief executive. Re publicans in large numbers have talk en to the idea with avidity; but at the same time it will meet with de termined opposition from the Taft for ces. The prospects therefore are for a pretty political fight.
 Ramifies the Chicago Club.
 The Phoenix club is an auxiliary of the club recently formed. in Chicago of which A. H. Revell is president. MT. Revell and MT. Heard have been in telegraphic correspondence for sev- eraI days and the result of that cores pondence is the organization of the Roosevelt club here. A meeting of this club will be held within day or two when a permanent organiza- tion will be effected.
 As stated by one of the leaders of the movement the desire for Roose- settlement of some of our perplexing business and political questions. Pro- motors of the movement here believe that his nomination will solidify the Republican organization as nothing else could. They say it means a square deal in both politics and busi- ness.
 On the other hand the Taft sup porters say to turn down MT. Taft would be suicidal. They demand to know wherein he has failed in his ad- ministration of the affairs of the na- tion, and they that to deny him a re- nomination would be a slap in the face ~G +I,@s, belief that even in the event of the nomination of MT. Roosevelt he could not be elected since he would an- tagonize by every one of the suppor- ters of the present administration Then the third term idea is repug- nant to many of them.
 Unify Educational System
 Them ost active man in state poli- tics just now is Senator c. B. Wood of this county. Wood has just re- turned from a tour of the southern part of the state in which he visited the university at Tucson and the in- dustrial school at Benson. He says the last named institution is in a de- plorable condition, and that one of the buildings is positively dangerous. The matter will be brought to the at tention of the legislature as soon as it convenes.
 MT. Wood and Dr. A. H. Wilde, pres ident of the university are working on a plan, which while not in any sense of political nature, will have to be supported by the legislature that it may be carried through. This plan contemplates the qualification of the university, the normal schools and all the public schools of the state in harmonious educational system. It is proposed to arrange the courses of study in such a manner that from the primary grade of the public schools to the senior year of the vuniversity there shall not be single break. The plan will doubtless receive the cordial support of all educators and it is not likely there will be any opposition among the legislators.
 It is now hoped to have the state admitted February 12, the anniversary of president Lincoln's birthday. This proposition has met with the approval
