WHO'S WHO LOBBYISTS?

number of organizations in Washington
have other excuse for existence than to secure
favorable legislation Among these are the la
Dor and agricultural organizations Yet no one
has questioned the rights of the representa-
tives of these bodies. Representatives of public
lands interests of the west have also been look
ed upon with favor in Washington The people
who are most apt to be accused of lobbying are
those who represent manufacturing and CONNER
Ical enterprises, and there has been some resent
ment expressed in regard to this by some of the
people who have been fighting for what they be-
lieve to be the rights of manufacturing and indus
trial interests. One manufacturer has complained
that when we send representatives to the Capt.
tai to keep advised upon matters, and we
present views in relation thereto, we are ac-
cused of keeping secret and dangerous, if not
corrupt, lobby
This charge has drawn response from the
President, who was the original dscoverer of the
''insidious lobby" H says that he believes that
the real representatives of all interests have per-
feet right to make their known at the Nation
al Capital but he draws the line upon that class of
representatives who send out form letters and get
people to Sign them up" all over the country,
and fire them in upon the Capital When the
parcel post was before Congress there were hun
dreds of thousands of such communications both
for and against the measure.

the capital should receive every

The change the Citizen would like to see
made is one that would seat two stand-pat Repub-
can representatives in Congress from Arizona
The editor of the Citizen is young man and he
may yet live to see the change but seriously
doubt it. Every indication points to the indisput-
able fact that Hon. Marcus A. Smith and Hon. Carl
Hayden will again be returned to Congress by
an increased najority-not but what there are
other deserving democrats who could ably fill the
public official who has made good is entitled to
second term. Mark Smith, by lot, drew the short
term in the Senate. He has served a little more
than two years and the ma ority of the democratic
voters recognize and believe that Mark Smith is
entitled to another term in the Senate. AS a
member of the most important committees which
effect the progress and welfare of Arizona Mark
Smith is today in position to do more good for
Arizona than new Senator could accomplish in
a full term. Mark Smith is one of the big men
of the Senate and is so recognized by his collea-
CUES and the metropolitan democratic papers Of
the east. Notwithstanding the wish of the Citi-
zen, Arizona is democratic and will return her two
democratic representatives, Hon. Marcus A.
Smith and Hon. Carl Hayden to Washington this
