NoN.PARTIsAN HOPES

NoN-PARTIsAN HOPES
 The G. O. F. elephant is positively irisky these uSys in Arizona His recent highstepping in the Warren Ds trict furnished convincing symptoms of healthy rein carnation. He marched around town on such fine legs and in such fine fete generally that even his loyal de- oee were surprised and others who harbored old pre- udices against him forgot them and paused to admire In fact evidence was not lacking that their admiration would lead to conversion Conducted by Head Groom Ralph Cameron and attended by Tom Campbell Lorenzo Hubbe and other equally faithful sponsors his elephant shin created little less than political sensation.
 His apnearance from political viewpoint calls for
 comment solely because it afforded significant contrast to the more frequently Democratic donkey or the shrinking bull moose The donkey has podded along Tn 9 casual sort of way without exciting much comment other than commiseration for the worthy keepers who were being oppressed in their duties by oyerord Hunt Those who watched the faithful beast observed that he ore hobbies bearing the trademark and this was enough to warrant an emphatic opinion that no political beast of burden could accomplish its best work while laboring under such handicap.
 Even less entertaining or convincing has been the aonearance of the gaunt bull moose which would have collapsed utterly had it not for the efforts of few valiant keepers whose ndefadgable services compelled a ripple of applause.
 Members of all parties have remarked that there has nean too little brightness and spirit in the Warren Dis rct during the present campaign But there has been a change this week and it coneident with the ar val of the newiycaparsoned and enthusiastically rejuyen ated elephant People were to wondering and also to thinking
 Naturally there was much jubiaton among Repubh cans when they noted the effect of their show. Also there was an awakening among voters of other stripe who have not concealed their aversion to Hunt but who despaired unseatng him. When these voters realized that formidable stumbling block set in Hunts prldefu path conditions were ripe for cheer oi relic if only some one had started it.
 The cheer may come yet and it may be loud ana prolonged cheer Stranger things have happened If j eyentuates it will be non-partisan demonstration Good Democrats who will fight for and vote for all o their candidates with the exception of Hunt will join in In return for rle,r support of worthy and common cause for the good Arizona Republicans will doubles assist in electng office the several competent cand dates enrolled under the Democratic emblem.
 The Warren District is enjoying the present refresl ing activities set in motion by the old elephant Tn Warren District sharing with other communities in tn State feeling Arizona is helpless after all the grasp of man-handled machine; that the majorit of voters will decline to be bamboozed any longer by official whose meretrcous appeals find Judgement solel in petty minds and whose continuation in office woul halt the States progress
 There was talk during the summer in all quarters non-partlsan movement It died abonng because the failure all concerned to get together The preser campaign has served to enlighten the electorate an there are signs on every hand that nonpartisan e pression at the polls next Tuesday will overthrow Hun His successor will have party to thank for suppol The victory will be a nonpartisan victory.
