ARIZONA PRoeREssIvEs.

Here's word from the front Here's tip from HEADQUARTERS! Colonel Roosevelt has taciuy en- dorsed a working agreement in New York State between Progrssives and Republicans upon understanding that candidates selected by the O. P must meet with the approval of the Progressive party before the aters sup port will be guaranteed The import of this decision Is of nationwide significance t would not be extrava- gant to predict that herads the immediate cessation of hostiliues and an eventual coalition between the two boodreated but estranged parties.
 This will be cheerful news in Arizona as elsewhere throughout the country Progressives who recognized Che impoency of their voting strength and who yet hes to come out favor of any move suggesting con ciIiaon with he Republican party will now be enabled to work effectively without danger of having their fealty to Colonel Roosevelt questioned their loyalty to the which he has led so ably mpugned
 If the Progressyes of Arizona take the hint which Colonel Roosevelt and his ueutenants have given out so broadly they will bring upon themselves credit for being among the to read the signs of the times. These signs point to complete reconciliation betFeen Republicans and Progressves before the Presdsn- tal election The signs also prophecy that the next Democratic standard bearer may find himself op posed by other than Theodore Roosevelt backed by
 party which has forgiven him for past derelcuons and by the men who followed him in revolt
 The reconciliation doubtless will be advanced sufn- couty before the guberuatoria elections this fall to change materially the forecasts made prior the astua decision reached by Colonel Roosevelt before he sailed for Madrid Colonel Roosevelt has way of planting a seed on Che eve of departure this place that and expecting to rructif while he is absent The preset is a case in point.
 The development of the seed here in Arizona will be watched with especial interest If it is nurmred it should be- complexion of the present political situa, tion will undergo a complete change. It win no longer be heard that Governor Hunt win have a walkoyer be- cause of divided opposition It will longer be heard that the machine which he has built up is nvncble 1t win be possible for a candidate who may receive the endorsement of both Republicans and Progressiyes to present his cause to constituency which will possess elective strength.
 I is by no means certain in the event of a coalition of Arizona Republicans and Progresves that the Demo cras would eopardize their chances of success by en- dorsing Governor Hunt for second term. They know too well that his measure has been taken and found wanting They appreciate full we'll the fact that stronger and more worthy candidate must be found to lead the party against united opposition. They have wisely satisfied themselves the eligibility of Judge sutter and Dr. Hughes With either Judge sutter Dr Huehes as standard bearer they could make cam pagn such as would be Impossible of accomplishing with Governor Hunt and his hi-diddlediddle policies.
