DILLON FOR U. S. MARSHAL.

DILLON FOR U. S. MARSHAL John O. Dunbar, veteran editor of Arizona, was present at the inausura ton of Woodrow Wilson, as President of the United States. He returned to Phoenix this week Dubbling over with enthusiasm for the success of the democratic administration.
 In his own paper, The Arizona Democrat, he says be went east on business and pleasure combined and was emminently successful in both undertakings.
 It is understood that Dunbar'S busi- ness at the National Capital was to impress upon the Arizona delegation and Postmaster General Burleson his imminent fixtures for postmaster of Phoenix
 One Kind of Democrat.
 In speaking of the presidents at titude to the democrats of the country MT. Dunbar said:
 ITO show just what Wilson believes in regard to the democrats of the country, and just what he considers a democrat it is best to cite a hear ing which the Virginia delegation had with the president last Thursday The delegation called upon the presi- dent and asked him what kind of ' ommend for appointments in the state of Virginia.
 T recognize only one kind of democrat declared the president, and he is man who votes the den,- ocratic ticket ''
 Cabinet Appointments Popular.
 MT Wilson's cabinet has been given universal approval in the coun- try, both among the democrats and 1Co Il,,c, wish to see the best men possible placed in the cabinet. MT. Bryan is one of the strongest men in the cab inet and his selection for secretary of state met with the hearty approval of most all democrats. I visited all of the new cabinet members and each and every one expressed an interest in the State. of Arizona. This was particularly so of Bryan and Lane, both of whom are warm friends of the forty-eighth star.
 MT. Lane, secretary of the inter- for, is particularly interested in Ari- zona. He expressed much interest in Arizona generally, but particular ly with regard to the conditions in the Salt River valley. I can say to the farmers of the state and to the water users of the Salt River valley reclamation. project, that with Frank
 
 for, they will be treated in all fair ness and that each and every wish will receive all just consideration at his hands. The new secretary of the interior is perhaps one of the best known and best liked men in the new presidents cabinet. His appoint ment met with absolute approval in the country.
 Lane Friend of Arizona.
 tai IUhi tn Lane" continued Dunbar, and found him to be more than pleasant. He was very much interested in us here in Arizona, and having been raised in the newspaper business found something more than politics of in- terest in common. He said he had served a complete apprenticeship in the newspaper business from ink boy to editor, and declared he eX- pected great help from the news papers and newspaper men of the country t"
 Declaring the Arizona congressional delegation was standing together in the matter of federal patronage, they are among the strongest democrats in the halls of congress, Dunbar said their recommendations for federal ap- pointments would undoubtedly stand.
 The recomm endation of w. H. Saw telle has already been made to the officials in Washington and his ap- pointment is expected this week. The two senators also have agreed upon and recommended John J. Birdno for receiver of the land office. Congress man Hayden has made no recommend | dations so far, and will not do so until the appointment of postmasters approaches.
 H. H. Howard, of Phoenix, accord i ing to Dunbar, had very strong en- | dorsements from the state. The rec ommendation of Sawtelle for federal judge was peculiar in that one of the large interests in the state fought | his appointment and another favored | it. The Southern Pacific company was opposed to the appointment of SawteIle, while the Phelps-Dodge in- terests favored the Tucsonian. The labor people line up with Howard.
 The visitors in Washington were leaving the city when l left' said Dunbar in conclusion. Both houses of congress are expected to get down to work as soon as possible and effect a complete reorganization. I had delightful trip and enjoyed every min ute of it, but I was certainly glad to see Southern Arizona yesterday and to see Phoenix and the Salt River valley last night.
 According to Dunbar, Joe Dillon, iormer chairman of the territorial central committee, is very likely to land the U. s. marshalship in this district. Senator Ashurst is mak- ng a strong personal fight for the Prescott man, and Senator Smith is remaining passive. The opinion in is strong that Dillon will and the plum.
