Grange Department
Edited by Fred w. Lewis, Secre-
tary Washington State Grange.

Several new oranges have been
added to our list since we last report
ed and several more ale on the way.
Much good might be accomplished
and good money made by the right
person getting out and doing Grange
work in the field in several localities
in the state, both in new counties
and in these which are partly organic
ed.
Brother Picking, our state overseer,
is in Montana and has organized by
the assistance of members of the
Grange from Washington the first
Grange in Montana and we hope that
this will be the first of series of
good, active Oranges in that state.
The following are the newer Oranges
of this state:

trict republican conventions are in
structed to support President William

about after fierce struggle for SUI

most strenuous conventions held by
republicans of Jefferson county for
many years was the result.
Roosevelt adherents fought every
inch of the way for the controlling
voice in the convention and came
within five votes Of victory. The COM
mittee on resolutions split on the en-
dorsement of presidential candidate,
one-half favoring Roosevelt and the
other half favoring Taft. Both sides
offered resolution endorsing their
favored candidate, but the resolutions
were laid on the table. @... Z,
A resolution endorsing Hon. w. S.
Allen of this city, candidate for
the office of secretary of state, was
carried.
For four hours the majority of the
convention "stood pat" and finally the
following resolution was carried amid
great rejoicing by the Taft men:

THE GOVERNOR
OF A R|z 0 n A
FAv0RS RECALL
In First Message to Newly
Formed Legislature, Hunt
Demands Provision for
Ousting Judges.

Phoeniz, Ariz., March 1s-The first
message of Gov. George w. Hunt was
read to Arizona's first state legislature
today. 1t was voluminous, containing
10000 words-almost as
long as the constitution framed by the
convention over which the governor
presided a little over year ago.
AS his first legislative act, the gov
ernor urged the enactment for sub
mission to the people at the next regu-
lar election, of an amendment to the
constitution providing for the recall
Of judicial. officers The message
called attention to the fact that Ari-
zona had voted favorably on two oc-
casions to adopt the recall of judges,
and continues:
''Their wishes were set at naught by
a presidents unwillingness to yield to
prejudice, but they We're secure IN
the knowledge that with Statehood
once attained, and with the initiative
at their command, they would have it
in their hands to restore to the con-
stitution the power SO. rudely taken
away"
A drastic anti-lobbying law, in con-
formance with mandate of the con-
stitution also was urged.
Although non-committal on the en-
reimbursement of women, the message
recommended the submission to the
people of an equal suffrage amend
ment., rst3s-. e+ ,,....-. F.
Free text books were advocated, and
the legislature was asked to consider
the question Of old age pensions for
Arizona's men or women whose
years of residence and devotion to
our territorys cause have failed to
provide themselves with the means OF
easing their declining years"
The legislators also we're urged to
pass law requiring each newspapers
in Arizona to publish in every issue
"a full and complete list of it's owners,
stockholders and holders of securities,
in whatever from they may exist.
A compulsory compensation law for
workmen and an employers liability
Law along lines laid down by the con-
stitution, and eight hour day for all
classes of labor, abolition Of the en-.
ployers blacklist" and the creation of
an arbitration board to settle indus
trial disputes, were among the meas
ures recommended under the head of
labor. .E--

ROOSEVELT MEN ARE
PLANNING CONTESTS
Statement Issued by Dixon Outlines
Effort to Overthrow Taft's
s..'a Southern Strength.

Washington, D. c., March 49, Con-
tests against Taft delegates from all
southern states to the Chicago repub-
lican convention will be taken before
the national committee In June by the
Roosevelt forces, according to q state
ment given out hero over the sigma
ture OF Senator, Joseph M. Dixon, Col,
Roosevelt's campaign manager.
The announcement makes the
definite statement "that in every
southern state and almost every DIS
trict In those states which have
elected delegates to date contests Will
come before the national committee"
The purpose Of the Roosevelt man
ayers to attempt to overthrow all OF
President Taft's southern strength be-
fore it can be seated in the Chicago
convention is further borne out by
tables contained in the Dixon state
ment.
The Dixon estimates give Col.
Roosevelt forty-four delegates and
concede but fourteen to President
Taft. The Taft delegates from south
ern states, eighty-four in number, are
placed in the contested column"
Mckinley Claims.
Director William B. Mckinley, OF
President Taft's campaign committee.
who also published a tabulated esti-
mate of strength, claimed 1S1 dele
gates for the president and conceded
but thirteen to Col. Roosevelt.
The only item upon which the
widely divergent statements OF the
campaign managers agree is the con-
cession of two delegates from the
Seventh Iowa district to Senator Cum
Minis.

Huntington, l.. l., March 18.-Col.
Roosevelt will be the guest here this
