turns from the presidential prefer
ence primary, held in Georgia, indi-

towns the vote was heavy, but in the
country precincts it was light. While

Boston, Mass, May AFTER two
conferences. today, the eight Roose-

the primaries yesterday, to the Chi
cago convention, decided to take no
Joint action on the attitude adopted
by Roosevelt. in releasing them from
obligation to vote for him, but to
leave each delegate free to act as he
sees fit. A statement issued late to-
night by Matthew Hale, chairman
of the Roosevelt committee, says:
I'm view of the complicated po-
litical conditions following our state
primary, | decided to call meeting
of the eight delegates-at-large to dis
cuss the situation. had not then
heard anything about the Colonels
statement, regarding the delegates
at-large. The delegates who as
sembled here, | believe, saw the
newspaper accounts of the Colonel's
statement.
Rescind Statement,
"With the knowledge on the part
of each delegate. that he had been
fairly elected. by a large majority,
over the Taft delegates, it was
the unanimous opinion that they
should stand together and vote for
Roosevelt. A joint statement was
signed, but later in the day, and
after carefully considering the post
tion so forcefully taken by Col.
Roosevelt, the situation again was
taxed over, by the delegates, and
they decided to take no joint action
but to rescind their action and leave
each individual delegate free to de-
termine, for himself his responsible
| ity to his constituents"
Although the Republicans of the
state selected President Taft for
their candidate Fer denomination by
a majority of $3.50 over Col. Roosc-
welt, at the same time they elected
| by a decisive vote, the entire state
of the eight delegates at-large
| pledged to the former President.
| Colonel Roosevelt secured ten more
delegates in the district elections
and President Taft carried nine so
that Taft and Roosevelt each have
eighteen delegates to the national
convention.

GLOBE CONSTABLE LIVED IN ARIZONA
 FORTY-SIX YEARS
First Came to Territory in 1866 When But 10
 Years of Age
REMAINED HERE SINCE

PHOENIX, April 1S.-Forty-six years is long time in Arizona. It's long while anywhere, but out here in the wild and woody" forty-six years just about marks the limit of civilization. Therefore, when g. young man of fifty-six drops into ones office and casually remarks that when he came to Phoenix in 1866 there was not a single morning news paper in town, one naturally becomes a human interrogation point.
 .The pioneer is J. F. Crampton, constable at Globe. who is in Phoe- nix as a witness before the federal grand jury. He has not been at the capital city for eleven years. and he notes that things seem to have been happening in that time. but still the doughty constable regards the eleven year old visit as modern history when compared with his early entry into the Salt River valley.
 He was ten years old then, and had come from California, where be was born. It was long, tedious journey across the desert, a journey not with out danger. and the possibility of fall ing in with hostile Indians.
 Young Crampton was taken to Fort McDowell, where his step-father had charge of the settlers store. which he sold in 1869 to Killings and Grub. Crampton used to come to Phoenix occasionally, before there really was any Phoenix, and he is spending a uortion of his time now hunting ia miliar landmarks.
 After leaving Mcdowell. he went with his parents to Maricopa Wells. remaining there for several years, and enjoying the excitement of the

occasional passing of the stage coach.
 Thirtyfour years ago he went to Globe. and has lived in that place ever since. He says that he and his wife have been married longer than any other couple in Globe, thirty years, but they have never left that place together fin all the years of their residence there.
 The pioneer is still hale and hearty, and actively in the harness. although he says that of all the companions of the early days in Phoenix and vi cinity not an one is left. although he has met and exchanged reminis- cences with many old friends since he reached this city.
 Yesterday he secured a rig and started to drive to the old home at Msricopa Wells. but before reaching his destination, lost courage in the enterprise, and turned back. He says that he does want to see the flat once more, and may make the trip today.
 According to Crampton, his sister, Sarah Crampton, was the first white woman to be married in Phoenix af- ter the incorporation of the city. This ceremony occurred in 1872, and was performed by Judge Allsap. an uncle Of the present secretary of state, Sidney P. Osborn. Charles II. Ken yon was the groom.
 The visitor says that business con ditions in Globe are slowly reviving The mines are busy. and he looks for increased prosperity and activity in that district.

 '1 will have about 800 acres in po- tatoes this year." said Hing. "The crop which has been planted for sev- eral weeks is doing nicely. There are good prospects for big yield and. as potatoes are in great demand in So- nora. I expect to make a good profit out of the crop"
 Hing stated tht all danger of the potato crop in his section being in jured by frost has passed. Unless there is a very unusual weather the last frost has been had until late fall.
 Hing stated that ali danger of the olution in Mexico, but was evidently that he would be robbed Of his money should he keep it in Fronteras.
