SENATOR SMITH HAS FALLEN OUT WITH
 HIS FRIEND DUNBAR
Veteran Arizona Journalist
 Has Withdrawn His Sup port Since Appointments

PHOENIVX, Feb. 2.-No develop. ment in the Arizona political situa- ton for many months has been re- aeived with more surprise than the absolute repudiation of Senator Mark Smith by his old friend, John O. Dun bar.
 Dunbar, who is now publishing a | weekly paper at Phoenix, does not approve the appointment of Lewis T. Carpenter as collector of internal rev enue, or of Joe Dillon as U. S. Mar shal. He planes Smith for both ap- lvointments and sn his weekly de- clares that the senator stands no more chance of reelection than a dog with tallow legs stands of catching an as bestos rabbit in the neither regions. Only John makes it more emphatic than that.
 For more than a years John Dun | bar and Mark Smith have been bosom friends. Dunbars youngest son is named for Smith. That same son was offered the position Of Smiths private secretary when Mark became sena- | tor. Whenever Smith came to Uhoe- nix he stayed at the Dunbar home. Hundreds of red-hot editorials in de- fense of Smith have come from the trenchant pencil Of John Dunbar.
 Now Dunbar says that Smith is no good, that he does not stand by his pace in the latest issue of his paper | friends, but he is a turncoaL At one he declares that Smith threw a sop 10 the Hunt element of the democratic party when he consented to the ap- pointment Of Dillon and Carpenter. Dunbar comments:
 While under ordinary circum- stances tho bringing of the Hunt ele- ment to his support would be consid- cred clever political move on the part of Smith, as things stand today it will be fatal to him. To begin with, the Hunt people will net support Smith no matter how much he cringe before them. And in the second place by lowing to the will of the adminis- traitor Smith has alienated the sup pert Of ninety per cent of the men who have kept him fin public office for close tc thirty years Staunct, stalwart friends cf Mark Smith werS eandidates for both offices mentioned and when he betrayed them and ap- pointed men who have always been his political enemies he forfeited
 very hold he ever had upon the men
 'ho have always fought his political battles. At best Smith can expect but little support from the Hunt fac ton and practically none from the men who were formerly his staunch- est packers. oatical turncoats never have and never will win a battle
 Tn another editorial Dunbar ob' serves:
 Mark Smith has been in public life for thirty years and up to the time | of taking his seat as senatcr for Ari- zona showed remarkable ability a. a
 delegate and wisdom as politician. ate of the united States he has with one bound landed in the ranks of the ever, since bis elevation to the sen

 Dunbar wanted his son, Mark, tc land the position of clerk of the fed 5 eral court. He expected Smith tc helr
