WILL PARTIES UNITE
 AGAINST DEMOCRATS?

PHOENIX, Nov. l4--What is the c,urc of the Republican party in Af,zona. Will the Progressives now ,,kc inc place of the minority party oi the state or will they unite with ,he Republicans once more and be- come a militant majority These are questions which the men of all oar,ics are now asking each other. Roth Progrcssives and Republicans ,,em to realize that neither faction gan win without the other. Demo. rrats recognize that had Republicans and Progrcssives been united this year they would have given the ma ,ot,y party close call and if uni, ,d two years hence, will stand an excellent chance capturing the state
 The fact that a successor is to be ,hosen to United States Senator Marcus A. Smith in l9l4 may make il easier for the Progressivcs and Republcans to get together at the next election. A prominent Progress .,ye suggested to The Citizen core suUuUtnl lldt tusioU NlCktt Wltll a Progressive for senator and Re publican for governor or vice versa. inc names of both to appear on each ticket should be satisfactory to bo,h sides. provided that the nom. nee, selected arc men who were not offensive to either faction. The zee, of the ticket could be filled out in the same fashion dividing the slacc, between Republicans and pfoprcssives and having the tickets ,he same on the ballot
 A New Factor.
 If is believed by many that the majority of the women of the state would back such a fusion ticket. The Republican party and Republican newspapers were sincere and mill ,ant m their advocacy of woman's suffrage and of course the Pro yres,iycs took the same positiod. While the Democratic party plat form favored equal suffrage it is known that most of the Democratic leaders opposed it secretly and that practically all of the votes against II were cast by Democrats.

ARIZONA MAY LOSE
 HER ELECTORAL VOTE

That there is a very grave pos sibilty that John R. Hampton, Will ey F. Jones and w. T. Webb. the recently selected presidential cleo tors. may never have the pleasure Of casting their ballots in the electoral college for Woodrow Wilson as chief executive of the land. was the posi- tive statement made by one of the states leading lawyers, says the Arizona Democrat.
 After making this startling state ment the attorney continued to prove his case" He stated that after carefully looking at the mat ter from every angle he was abso- htcly of the belief that unless a session of the legislature was called immediately and law passed pro Wding for the canvassing of the re- turns of the recent election before the meeting of the electoral college in February, the Arizona members would be dcbarred from voting II anyone desired to take the matter to court.
 Continuing. the attorney recalled the decision of the Supreme Court in the Osborn-Davis suit. In that legal battle the point at issue was the Saxon election bill which in ad' diton to calling an election pro vIded method of canvassing the returns. The Supreme Court held that the provision for canvassins board was unconstitutional. Thus said the attorney. Arizona is in tho peculiar position of having held an election, but is without legal provis' ton for canvassing the returns
 What is the use of holding ar election if there is no legal method Of canvassing the returns3" he asked "li anyone desires to take the mat ter to court the three Arizona cleo tors can be debarred from voting unless the governor calls sessIor of the legislature and canvasslnt board is provided for prior to tho casting of the presidential vote if the electoral college"
 After waiting for years to cast presidential vote 1t now appears tha unless Governor Hunt immediatel, issues call for the converting o the legislature. the ballots cast las Tuesday will be of no effect.

IMPRESSED WITH APPLE
 ORCHARDS OF COUNTY
.(rfom Wednesdays Daily.)

C. Nj. Wilkins. representing the Oregon Nursery Company. after re- turning from Walnut Grove. Skull Valley, Kirkland, Ferguson. the Agua Fria and other valleys. is enthusias- tic over observations made in the fruit growing industry of the coun- try at large, and as Is reflected in the large acreage of the various or chards now under cultivation and bearing prolific crops.
 Mir. Wilkins states that he was as- founded over the fine quality of the apple. together with the unusual size produced, which excels anything in the fruit line he has ever inspected although he has been travelling for years in making investigations in every Pacific coast state. The pos abilities of this section he says can hardly be estimated in fruit growing. The unoccupicd domain out of Kirk land valley. embracing thousands of acres of fertile land susceptible to apple growing, appealed strongly to him as most attractive proposit- ion. Also were other localities fav- orably mentioned; in all he was simply astounded al the possibilities in evidence from one end to the other of the county. He has gone 10 the Verde Valley to continue his observations from the outcome of which it is believed many investors will be forthcoming in the very near future.

ARMS SHIPMENT
 BEING CLOSELY WATCHED

WASHINGTON, Nov. i4--A con signment of arms and ammunition which it Is suspected is intended for the Mexican rebels is being closely watched by the War Department Information was received today that such shipments are being sent ,o Fl Paso and orders were issued to proven, the shipments from cross ing the border.
 A treaty between Mexico and the United States governing the flight of aeroplanes over the international boundary line may be one of the in- direct results of the revolution and the efforts of the northern republic to prevent the importation of arms and military stores into Mexico.
 Lately it was reported, though not confirmed, that the rebels in the north were getting cartridges and even rifles by air. It was said that expert aviators were rising from the Texas plains a short dis tancc north of the boundary line and then at night. flying far over the heads of the American soldiers along the line. crossing into rebel territory. the air smugglcrs return ing the next night.
 There was enough in the story for the secret agents oi the Mexi. can government to spend days in trying to ascertain what truth thcrr was in it and Minister Iascurair of the Foreign Office. said that Mex ico probably would take the ini,ia tive in asking the government al Washington to enter into a treaty of aviation.

SAYS AMERICA
 IS PECULIAR COUNTRY

PARIS, Nov l4-"America is q peculiar country, made up of violent contrasts and sharp distinctions. sub sisting beneath its appearance of moral unity" according to Charles Hoffbauer. the noted French artist. He has just returned from a two years sojourn in America, where he has been engaged upon the stud ies for the inferior mural dccora- ton of the Confederate Institute at Richmond. Va. These decorations will commemorate the soldiers of the South who fought for secession in the Civil War
 Mir. Hoffbauer has visited many of the battlehclds of the war and has carefully studied the uniforms arms and accoutrements of the per iod. He will cover several panels with war scenes, which he will make as realistic and as perfect as pos siblc as concerns the portraiture o' the leaders.
 Regarding his impressions of Am erica. Mir. Hoffbaucr said: "1 wa' not disappointed. Everything there is picturesque and new. and there i' much that is deeply impressive. The 'skyscrapers reveal the American genius better than do the admirable revivals of antique architecture suci as the Pennsylvania Railroad Ter minal in New York

MILLIONS IN PATRONAGE
 AT WILSON'S DISPOSAL

WASHINGTON. Nov. i4-Up- wards of thirty millions of dollars will be the money value of the pat ronagc that will be at the disposal of President-eieot Wilson when he comes into the White House. This represents an army of office seekers that will aggregate about $l2,00O,0O These two facts more than any other thing indicate the terrific pressure that will be brought to bear upon the White House and the unceasing hours of toll and labor that arc now before the new chief executive with out regard to questions of public policy and legislation along the lines of the party pledges and the public utterances of the candidates
 The officers named in the accom- panying statement are not protected by the civil service. They arc at the besiowai of the president and the demand for their immediate trans fer from present incumbcnts to Dc mocratic aspiran,s may be insistcnt. By stroke of the pen many more could be removed from the shelter of the civil service.
 President Mckinley. who succeed cd Cleveland, found SO many Re publicans clamoring for the offices from which for four years they had been ejcctcd, that he made many ex- captions and in great measure. under pressure. negatcd the force of the civil service law When Cleveland succeeded Harrison he went to the other extreme and declined to vio- late either the letter or spirit of the law and but few Democratic officials were appointed. except administra- tive heads. who were responsible either as chief or subordinate off cials for the policy of the admins tration. How Mir Wilson will act upon the return to power of his party and the long absence from the public crib is question that remains to be answered.
