SUFFRAGE BODIES
NEAR BREAK
Formal War Declaration Between Or
ganizations of Women Believed I'M
n1nent.

Formal declarations of war between
the two suffrage organizations now
campaigning in the Western States
the National American Woman Suf
frage Association and the Congress
sional Union for Woman Suffrage, are
believed to be imminent.
For several months past there have
been evidences of growing ill feeling
/ between the leaders of the rival fac
tions, arising out of differences OF
opinion as to the methods to be used
in winning the desired votes. This
feeling was intensified when several
weeks ago the Congressional Union
announced its policy of opposing all
Democrats regardless of personal
records on the woman suffrage ques-
tion because the Democratic party
had refused to enact suffrage legisla-
ton. DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, presi-
dent of the National Association, i'm
mediately issued statement condemn
ing this policy and stating that the
National Association would not sup
port it.
Since that time the two organiza-
ticns have been working independently
of each other in the Western States
the Congressional Union calling upon
the voting women of the West to unite
and defeat all Democrats at any cost,
the National Association asking
Democrats, as well as republicans and
progressives, to vote for woman suf-
frage.
That the two associations have
strained relations to the breaking
point and that open declarations of
hostilities will soon be forthcoming is
indicated, it is believed, in a statement
Just issued by Mrs. Medill McCorm-
ick, chairman of the National Con-
gressional committee of the National
Association, in which she states that
the policy of the Congressional Union
is not only foolish and negligible so
far as hurting the Democrats is con-
cerned, but that it is doing serious
harm to the best interests of the
woman suffrage cause.
"The anti-Democratic propaganda
directed against the Democratic candi-
dates in equal suffrage States, and
therefore, against the best friends of
national suffrage in Congress, of
course, is vigorously repudiated every
where by the National Association
speakers" says Mrs. Mccormick.
''If we are to win in the campaign
States suffrage must receive the votes
of men in those States who are Demo
Gratis, Republicans, Progressives, So
cialists, Prohibitionists, and all the
rest. To antagonize any one party is
to court defeat.
yet into Missouri, for instance,
from just over the border in Kansas,
comes a propaganda from the Con-
gressional Union calling for the de-
feat of Democrats, in the interests of
suffrage, and Missouri, Speaker
Clark's State, is almost solidly Demo
cratic. Our speakers report that the
voters to whom they are appealing
are naturally confused and the
speakers themselves must stop to ex-
plain this abnormal situation instead
of devoting themselves to the real
and urgent issue-votes for women.
THE thing is dreadful folly, and
there is no telling how much harm it
may not do the suffrage cause"

$1so,ooo.oo.

Greenlee county, through it's treas
urer, Jno. M. Webster, this week re-
lceived the sum of one hundred and
eighty thousand dollars, all in cash
rather than check, from the Arizona
Copper company, as payment of taxes
for the year 1914. The car containing
the money was guarded from the
East, from where it came, until it
reached the Company's offices in
Clifton, where it was closely guarded
in the vaults of the general Offices
of the Company until the next
morning, when it was paid to the coun-
ty treasurer by J. G. Cooper, as
agent of the Company. Webster de-
posted the money in the two banks
of Clifton, and these institutions in
turn shipped large portion of the
funds to their connections in the East.
This sum is of sufficient amount to
justify the hopes that county war
rants will not Immediately suffer a
discount in being cashed.

AutomobiIists, Beware

AutomobIists, Beware
City Marshal Geary Crawford be-
gan this week a system whereby he
and assistants will be able to prove
the speed of automobiles traversing
the streets of Clifton, the aim of the
system being to in the interests of
public safety restrict those drivers
who have more thought for speed
attained than for the peace of the
community. Admonitions are to be
administered to all guilty of exceeding
the city's speed limit.

George Hill and Thos. Campbell,
residents of Morenci, where Hill has
for some time been engaged in busi-
ness, were arrested by Sheriff Patty
early this week in relation to the
robbery of the Bank of Duncan, the
arrest resulting in the failure of B .
R. Lanneau, cashier of the robbed
bank, to identify the men, who ac-
cordingly were released from custody
on the afternoon of Thursday, Lanneau
having failed at Identification on the
evening before.
The arrest of these men created great
interest throughout the county, as
both are well known, having resided
at Morenci, and Campbell at other
points, for a number of years. Fol-
lowing the failure of Lanneau to recog-
nize the men as the two guilty of
robbing the bank, the assistant of
Lanneau came to Clifton from Dun
can on the following day, with the
result that he to failed to recognize the
men as the two robbers

Physician III of smallpox

Confined now in quarantine in Pat
terson's Addition, DR.. Galantine is suf-
administering to a number of MeXi-
cans suffering from the disease. The
condition of DR.. Galatine is favor
able, according to brother physicians,

to recovery. DIR. Galantine had be-
fore contracted smallpox, making his
present case the second attack. At
present ten persons, all besides Galan-
tine being Mexicans, are afflicted with
the disease, the nine cases being in
two families which are being closely

Forgery that is Artistic

Practically every saloon of Clifton
was victimized on the evening of
Saturday, October II, by cashing
checks drawn and presented by l..
F. Mills, a young man who before the
copper depression was employed at
the A. c.. company's Hills Addition
store, and who after leaving employ
ment there worked for a time at the
Company's smelter. The checks.
which were drawn upon the supposed
personal account of the artist, ranged
in amounts from five to thirty dollars,
the total of monies thus falsely mulct-
ed from the Clifton merchants reach
ing total of probably one hundred
dollars. The forgery was discovered
the following Monday, upon presenta-
tion of the checks at the bank. Re-
ports are that Mills went from Cliff

than duplicate that record for this

Opinions Differ as to Speed


Opinions Differ as to Speed
! A difference of opinion as to the
speed attained, and danger to persons
in the vicinity, was indicated this
week when Chas. Asche, local auto
mobilist, was brought before City
Judge Danenhauer on the charge of
exceeding the automobile speed limit
in the western portion of Hills Addi-
ton. Asche with his mechanician,
was engaged in practicing his Metro
pole racing car, in view of entering
the FL Paso-Phoenix race, and while
at this practice gained the attention
of several residents of the residence
section who after engaging in wordy
arguments with the machinists came
before the city officials and preferred
against ASche the charge of exceed
ing the speed limit.
Asche stated his position to the
Court as being that he was an en-
trant for the Ell Paso-Phoenix race,
and that through pride for Clifton had
entered his giant car as being from
that town, and that to prepare for sue
cess in the race he had been practic-
ing his car, at rate of not more than
twenty miles per hour, in Hills Ad-
dition, and that he had been impoli-
tely approached by certain residents
who complained of his speed. Asche
states that the citizens of all towns in
the states of Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico, have signified their desire to
aid all drivers who to prepare for
the FL Paso-Phoenix race must main
tain practice, and that he, Asche, will
now, upon the treatment accorded him
by the citizens mentioned, change his
entrance certificate so that Morenci,
rather than Clifton, shall be given the
honor which may come to the car
in the November 9-14 races
The position of the complaining
citizens of Hills Addition was that
the speed of the big racer was such
that the lives of the persons residing
and present at points along the way
of the car were endangered.
Judge Danenhauer imposed a fine
of $1,000 upon Asche, who maintains
that at no time did he drive the car
in question, and that the speed reach
ed was not dangerous.

Mexico Problem?

The Mexico affairs seems to be
farther from set tlement than ever.
The country is in a state of anar-
cby. There is no real dominant
leader there now, and no immed-
rate prospects for one. the Mex
ican trouble is the one problem
which the administration has Vt t
to solve. President Wilson IS
resolved on peace with Mexico,
and will not be tempted into war,
and we fail to see any good COM
ing from the sending OF troops to
the border with heavy batteries.
Watchful waiting has kept us out
n Mexico, but it has not secured
us any real benefit beyond this,
and very possibly no real benefit
10 Mexico either. II Mexico is to
be pacifird. it will have to be from
outside that country. There IS
no one person there at present
who can control the situation.
The Monroe Doctrine and the
present European war prevent
any OF the powers intervening;
Uncle Sam will not, so for the
present Mexico will keep up her
regular routine of rebellion and
anarchy.

Neutrality of
Panama.

Colonel Goethals at Panama
canal sent shivers through the
Washington government when he
asked for two submarines to pre-.
serve neutrality at the Canal.
The newly elected legislature of
California is pledged to pass dra-
site legislation aimed against the
Japanese, and the yellow men
have shown in their attack upon
German possessions that they,
are spelling for a fight.
Our weakness is at Panama
and the Japs know 1T.
They are also fully advised as to
what they are likely to get in the
way ofadverse legislationin in Cali
iorniAs Colonel Goethals has
undoubtedly found the Japanese,
very annoying, and whatever OF
her reason may he assigned his
purpose has doubtless been to
protect the Canal against them.
The Washington government is
trying to get ahead of California
by passing a general immigrat-
ion bill that will cover the lap
anese question, and which at the
same time will not be offensive
to the Mikado's Empire.
