neither Corbett nor Morgan would
give any heed to the call to action
as a candidate for Governor,but more
confidence seems to be in evidence
regarding the candidacy of Lloyd
Christy. He belongs to a family that
has long been prominent in the Re-
publican party in Arizona, his father
at one time for years having COM
pletely dominated the party organiza-
ton.
Other candidates that are to be con-
sidered at the Prescott conference are
Walter Bennett of Phoenix, who is
proposed as a candidate for state SUI
preme Judge. Tom Campbell, who
was the Republican candidate for Con-
gress in 1912,is proposed for corpora
ton commissioner. NJ. E. Cassidy,
one of the principal spokes in the old
Republican band wagon in Cochise
county, is mentioned for secretary of
state, ]. Lorenzo Hubbell will be the
Republican candidate for United
States Senator and it is also suggest
ed that Ex-Governor J. H. Kibbey will
also seek the Senatorship with the
idea of holding the support of both
Republicans and Progressivcs.

BIRTHS EXCEED
DEATHS BY 400
IN ARIZONA
Bulletin of Vital Statistics Issued by
State Board of Health Shows Mark
ed Increase in Population for Last
Half of Year 1918.

That the birth rate in Arizona is
far ahead of the death rate and is
on the increase is shown in the bull
letin of vital statistics just issued by
the state board of health. During
the last six months of 1913, the per-
iod covered by the report, the births
exceeded the number of deaths by
1881
The total number of deaths was
1858, of which 1881 or practically
65 per cent were males. The number
of births for the same period was
2O71.
Maricopa county leads the list of
births with a total of 524 against
368 deaths for the six months per-
iod.. Cochise county is second with
406 births and BAL deaths. Graham
county, however, comes in for high
est honors in this regard, with LOG
births against only FL deaths re-
ported for the same period.
In three counties Pima, Pinal and
Santa Cruz the number of deaths
was in excess of the births. Pima
county made the poorest showing in
this respect, the number of deaths
being 1S5 to 108 births. The fig
ures for the other counties are Pinal,
deaths So, births so; Santa Cruz,
deaths Sc, births AT. The number
Of deaths on the Indian reservations
also exceeded the number of births.

ARIZONA RATES. CHEAPER.
Recent Decision of Supreme Court of
United States Equalizes Freight
Changes.

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States on the
western rate case is of great interest
to the people of Arizona, as i gives
the citizens of this state the same rate
as that to Los Angeles. Under the
present rating tidewater has a pref
erentia1 rate, the interior having to
pay the same rate, plus the local rate
from the tidewater point. The Inter
state Commerce Commission ordered
the discontinuance of this schedule
and the establishing of rate to teri
minal points approximately the same
as to tidewater. The late lamented
Commerce Court overruled the Inter
state Commission and nullified its
action. This was appealed from and
the Supreme Court sustained the con-
tention of the Commission. The de-
cision covers the powers of the Inter
state Commerce < Commission very
fully and confers upon them jurisdic
ton in the making of rates to the full
lest extent of the act.

REPUBLICANS NOW
SHOWING MOST
ACTIVITY IN
CAMPAIGN
CONFERENCE AT PRESCOTT
Democrats are Confident They Will
Win Victory in November.
Desperate Effort Being Made to Heal
Split in the Party is Hopeless.

PHOENIX, Arizona, June 29.-Dur-
ing the past week there have been
no new political developments in the
state and no new candidates have ap-
peared in the ranks of the democrats
since Wiley E. Jones declared that
he would ask for the democratic
nomination for attorney general, in
opposition to H. H. Linney of Pres
colt and Leslie Hardy, the assistant
, to Attorney General George Purdy
Billiard
The republicans are making some
show of activity in connection with
the conference which has been called
to meet at Prescott next week, where
it is expected that politicians will
flock from every part of the state.
To this meeting 'all citizens of Art
IONA desiring the welfare of the state
have been invited and this dragnet
invitation has been interpreted to in
clude even Bull Moose. However,
the Arizona Republican, Bull Moose
organ if the state, has been throwing
buckets of cold water during the last
few days on all propositiC2s fol
coalition of Republicans ;r1 Ill
Moose in the state, declarir', that the
Progressives could not countenance
either Democrats or Republicans with
out debasing the new party by putting
pies for political pelf. At present it
looks like the Republican conference
at Prescott will be in the hands
of the old standpatters, who are still
loyal to the old traditions of thesparty
of Mckinley and Taft.
However, the Republicans are whist
ling loud to dispel the gloom which
surrounds them and many names were
handed around this week for insDec-
ton in an effort to find some candi-
ate for Governor around which could
be rallied not only the Bull Moose
strength of the state, but to whom
some Democrats would lend an APP
proving year. For instance, we are
told that j: Knox Corbett of Tucson,
H. A. Morgan of Wilcox, and Lloyd
Christy of. Phoenix are among those
under consideration for leadership of
the Republicans in the battle to be
waged against the Democratic hosts
this fall. The general opinion that

KILLED AT MoeoLLoN.

While attempting to collect a fine
imposed upon an ex-soldier by the
name of Crosby at Mogollon, Tues
day evening of this week, Deputy
Sheriff Tom Moore was compelled
to shoot and kill the man after two
shots had been fired at him. Moore
was engaged in conversation with
a man in Crosby's quarters while
making collection of the fine and
when the Deputy's back was
turned Crosby reached for his gun
hanging on the bed post and COM
manded Moore to throw up his
hands. The deputy thinking the
man was joking turned around Gal
was met by a bullet which grazed
his arm followed by another shot
which went wild. More was then
forced to draw his revolver and
kill the man.
