Reese M. Ling on Saturday last
filed his nomination petition with
Secretary of State Sidney P. Osborn.
He is a candidate for United States
Senator at the Democratic primary.
Ling is one of the best known law
yers is the state and an old-timer hav-
ing come here when but a boy. He
was a student in the public schools
in 1885 and in 1886 graduated from
the state normal school at Tempe,
being the first graduate from that in
stitution. After teaching school for
two years he entered Ann Harbor and
following his graduation there he re-
turned to Arizona and began the
practice of law in Yayapai county.
For twenty-four years he made his
home in Prescott. Ling has always
been a democrat and has been actively
engaged in Democratic politics since
he began the practice of law. Fol
lowing, his defeat for the nomination
for United States senator two years
ago, he made a tour Of the state at
his own expense, working in the
interest of and making speeches for
his victorious opponent.
Local members of the Socialist
party claim that because the Social
list Bulletin, the organ of the Social
list party at Phoenix, has endorsed
the eighty per cent law it does not
necessarily follow that the Socialist
party as a whole has endorsed that
measure. We are informed that
several local socialists have announc-
ed their intention to vote against the
law.

Leading members of the socialists
party have stated that their party
will have no contest at the primary
election, but will enter a full ticket
for the state contest and expect to
land one or more men. The socialist
leaders claim their party will pull g.
large number of votes from the pro-
gressives, although they do not give
their reasons for SO believing.
Reese NJ. Ling, candidate for the
democratic nomination for United
States senator, is mixing his cam
paigning with business. Recently
Ling went to northern Arizona, where
he secured a conviction against the
Marleys, accused of cattle rustling,
after which he spent two days in the
vicinity of Holbrook, calling upon his
friends.

the voter should be required to de-

a little economy since the democrat

If there were any real issues which
influenced the election of the demo
Gratis, aside from the split in the re-
publican party, they were the high
cost of living and the pledge of econ

The tariff for revenue only has

began, imports had increased amaz.
ingly, but the revenue had fallen off
If the new tariff cannot be defend
ed as a revenue producer, its accept

doubtful Certainly it cannot be
shown to have reduced the cost of
living. Its effect on business and
employment is already an issue In
the congressional campaign.
BY bringing forward a plan for war
taxes, at a time when the United
States is at peace, the democratic
party deliberately focuses attention
upon extravaganza and the failure OF
the tariff for revenue only. 1t sug
gests an inquiry as to the reason why
economies have not been practiced,
and why the tariff for revenue only
has not produced the revenue,
Many of these issues might have
been overlooked by the public if they
had been left as abstract problems,
but with a large proportion of the
public feeling the pinch in the pocket
