V|C- TORY|S SURE SAYS
 DR. SHINE
Delegate to Baltimore Convention Re turns to Cochise County and Tells of Attitude Of Arizona Oele9a-
 tion in the Several Contests

TOT udVluS d
 of conditions, events and possibilities
 as the work of the national convention
 proceeded at Baltimore than those of
 any other section of Arizona, Dr. F. B.
 Shine, who was the delegate from Co.,
 chise county to the national demo-
 cratic convention, returned to his
 home in Warren this morning | Dr. Shine was met at the depot
 by a representative of the Daily h.
 ternational this morning. He declar-
 ed that he had greatly enjoyed his | trip which included attendance at
 the national republican convention at
 Chicago as well as sitting as a dele
 gate from Arizona in the Baltimore convention.
 Dr. Shine has been invited to tell the democrats of Douglas and Co.,
 chise county all about the work of the Baltimore convention at the rati- fication meeting in this city tomor- row night and he said that he would
 be present for that very purpose and will be delighted to meet those demo- crats who had telegraphed him to cast his ballot for Wilson at the time when it was known that the nomination of Clark was an impossi- bility.
 Tn the vote for temporary chair man at the outset or the convention I was not willing to agree that my instructions for Clark included direc- ary chairman and I felt sure that my constituents would desire that I cast my vote for Bryan and this did with four other or the Arizona delegates. Ed Shaw, of Phoenix, and Ed Sawyer, of Winslow, were the two from Arizona who voted for Parker for temporary chairman.
 When the balloting began of course the solid delegation from Ari- zona voted for Clark I cast thirty ballots for Clark and then seeing that there was no further possibility for his nomination, I assumed the responsibility to cast my ballot for Wilson and continued to do so until he was nominated by all but 90 of the 10SS votes in the convention. After the last ballot his nomination was made unanimous.
 Judging from expressions I have heard since I left Baltimore, I am more convinced than were that the democrats named the strongest candidate and that Wilson and Mar shall will sweep the country from one end to the other. With Hon. Reese M. Ling and MT. Sawyer, of the Arizona delegation, I called on Governor Wilson last week and found
  claimed for him and more. He was assured that the state of Arizona would give heavy majority for the democratic ticket in it's maiden vote for president and I am sure that we only promised what will be made good by the democrats of this state
 T was more impressed with the greatness, sincerity and honesty of William Jennings Bryan during the Il-I fore and though there has been some | who were inclined to criticise his acts in throwing the nomination to Wilson, l am sure when the people | fully realize all the conditions that he confronted at Baltimore they will approve his every act.''
 Dr. Shine stated this morning that | it would hardly be possible for Hon. Reese M. Ling to reach Douglas for | the ratification meeting tomorrow night, as he was now with the na- tional committee in Chicago, where | the work of the national campaign | was being mapped out. Dr. Shine stated that he would surely be in Douglas for the meeting
 He stated that the telegramS sent | to him by Douglas were non-evasive condition prevailing at Baltimore and that they were followed when he cast his vote for Wilson. Other telegrams received by Dr. Shine from other parts of the county were in definite and he laughingly remarked that eight hours after Wilson had been nominated he received a tele- gram from John Birdno, urging him to continue to vote for Clark.
 E. L. Shaw, a delegate from Mari copa county, gave out the following interview upon his return to Phoenix this week:
 That the democratic party will ex- perience no difficulty whatever in electing Woodrow Wilson president of the United States, is the firm con- viction of Ed L. Shaw, one of Ari- zona's six delegates to the Baltimore who returned to Phoenix last night
 'The party is solidly behind Will son. MT. Shaw said this morning. When the convention adjourned there was absolutely no feeling between the Clark and Wilson factions. The Clark people were little disappoint- ed but they were satisfied that a strong man had been named and were determined to do their utmost to elect the party nominee.
 Even in Missouri, where the dis was the keenest, the people now realize that Dr. Wilson was not to blame for Clarks defeat They are blaming Bryan and they are sorry that the Clark forces were not | better organized, but they are going to vote for Wilson.
 Clark lost the nomination because
