STAND-PAT PRESS IF ARIZONA
 ARE AT THEIR OLD TACTICS


 news items for the consumption o their gullible followers.
 Their favorite subject just now is the contemplated action of Progressive leaders, whom they claim are either seeking nominations on the Republi can ticket, or are working for com bination of the Progressives and Re publicans of Arizona
 Just as soon as one of their fabrica tions are repudiated by the parties interested, they take another pull at their jug of inspiration, and as soon as another hallucination takes posses sion of their brain garret, they seize upon their ever ready typewriter and proceed to record the same. One day spasm to the effect that Robert s. Fisher has returned to feed off the corrupt carcas of the Republi- can elephant The next day the lie is nailed.
 The next day we find that the fakir makes the ridiculous assertion that Geo. U. Young is flirting with poor old Hubbell, the poor deluded soul who IS still holding on to the caudal appen- dage of the defunct Republican beast, and hoping that through some miracle a ressurection may take place and the re-animated quadruped may be able to drag him to the U. S. Senate.
 The facts are that Geo. U. Young is a live one and is not in the undertak- ing business, and consequently does not f1irt with corpses, political or oth- erwise, and unless Geo. U Young is bigger liar than the person who writes these slushy articles, he is just as strong Progressive as he ever was.
 There is no truth in the insinuation that there is any friction or jealousy between Dwight B. Heard and Geo. U. Young; and there is absolutely no truth in the assertion that Dwight B. Heard is candidate for the Senator ship.
 There is no split in the Progressive party and there is no breach to be healed.
 The facts are that the Republicans realizing their decayed condition, have through their official head, pleaded with the Progressives of Arizona, to consent to assist them by the trans fusion method; saying to the Pro- gressives "give us from your political body sufficient quantity of your life blood to enable us once more to stand on our leprous extremities, that we may thus be again placed in a position to deceive the common people into the belief that we are true and honest men. If you Progressives will do this We will consent to wear your clothes, sign your contract with the people, | and connect your party name with 1 ours with only a hyphen between, just | ike the Siamese twins
 The Progressive party of Arizona is n a very healthy condition, thank | you; it is not seeking alliance with l my other party or individual It is he only party in the country today | hat means the same to the voter in | Florida as it does to the voter in Mon- ana; the same in New York as it does n California.
 My Progressive friends when you see one of these fabrications in print, ust remember that a stand-pat organ s representing a subject that is in he hands of the undertaken, and in order to fill the columns of their mis- guided sheet, they must occasionally i select live subject; this is the reason 7ou see so much about the Progressive )arty in their mournful organs.
 It is the same old tactics, although i he Republican party is dead enough | )f their misbegotten lucre remains to .nable their interruptions manufactur- ITS of so called news to continue their lefarious practices yet little longer.
 It has been well said ''The ruling classes always possess the means of and the processes by which it is distributed The newspapers If modern times belongs to the upper nan. The under man has no voice, IT if having a voice, he cries out, his ny is lost like a shoue in the desert. Capital. in the place of power, seizes lpon the organs of public utterance nd howls the humble down the vind.' These conditions are changing how ,ver, some of our newspapers are onest and reputable, and are taking ID the cause of the under man; his oice is being heard, and he will soon e in position to demand honesty n politics, and the same conduct in he management of our public press.
