THIRD TERM Is THE GREATEST DANGER
 SAYS BRYAN
Other Evils Can Be Cured But the Breaking Down of the Old Estab- Iished Rule Would Work Great Danger to the American
 Government.

DENVER, Sept. 6th.-'If Roosevelt could win, then in my opinion the presidential third term question would be of more importance in this campaign than any economic issue. Evils resulting from any other issue could more easily be corrected than evils that would arise from the over throw of the two-term limit for presi- dents.''
 This was the answer made by Will liam Jennings Bryan in an interview just before he sat down as guest of honor at fish and game banquet rendered to the visiting state game commissioners here tonight. Discuss ing national politics, Bryan said re- turns from Vermont were encourag ing. Replying to a question as tc what was the supreme issue in the present campaign, Bryan said:
 Taft says it is preservation of constitutional government in the United States, but apparently few voters share Taft's convictions. Roosevelt says overthrow of bosses is the supreme issue, but to my mind everything seems to depend on whether the bosses are for him or against him. Democrats regard the tariff question as the paramount is- sue. They are not surprised to see Roosevelt and Taft lodging it.

STILL BUSY
 TALKING HIGHWAY
Meets With Delegation of Phoenix Commercial Club and Stirs Up New Interest-Movemen on
 Foot to Secure Federal
 Aid to Project.

The Phoenix Republican tells of the work of Dell M. Potter of Clifton in arousing enthusiasm in good roads project. He is making a series of talks over Arizona and everywhere $ we'll received, and assistance is aS- sured in the project. The Republican says:
 Friday a telegram was received from Del M. Potter, organizer and chief booster for the ocean to ocean highway by the Mesa Commercial club that he wanted to meet some of the members at the club rooms at 8 o'clock that night The club mem bers gathered at the hour named, but MT Potter was delayed on account of tire troubles, and it was over an hour later when he arrived.
 Those who have seen and heard MT. Potter know that he is a rapid fire talker and a man whose enthu- SiaSm and personal magnetism car ries conviction to his hearers. He told the club what had been done and was being done and assured them that Mesa was to be one of the points through which the national highway would pass. He told in de- tail of the work of the various states that there was no longer any doubt of final success.
 A movement was on foot to secure federal aid, that of a number of the states having already been secured. It was planned to have a good ma cadamiZed road from the Atlantic to the Pacific by the time the Panama Pacific fair opened in 1915, over which fully one hundred thousand automobiles would pass. Owners of cars all through the east were en- thusiastic boosters for the move ment.
 MT. Potter wants the Commercial club members and everyone interest ed in seeing the road built, to get out and boost; use their influence with the state authorities to cooperate with other states through which the road will pass to get all the help possible.
 Potter is always in hurry, as he has the weight of many duties on his shoulders, and made the stay as brief as possible. His coming and going are something like the baby whirl- winds of the desert with a rush and leave with the same ra- pidity. But it is good to see him and hear him talk.

Few of the residents of Clifton know that the first railroad run in Arizona was between Clifton and, Metcalf. The engine used for this purpose was freighted overland from Santa Fe, N. M, and was used on this line for some time. The engine was very small but did it's work and was later used about Clifton. One of the re- grets is that the old engine was not preserved as it would have been one of the curiosities of interest to all and a land mark of railroad progress r-''.c', --or'7 ra-T2 tcen wired hieh-

GREENLEE PRIMARY.

AS the Era goes to press this week the primary election, so far as the democrats are concerned, is still in doubt. From the returns so far re- ceived Hon. Wiley E. Jones, Hon. w. T. Webb and Hon. Geo. Babbitt are in the lead for democratic presidential electors from Arizona. There is a possibility for Cassidy or Hampton to win when the final returns are receiv- ed, but it is doubtful
