Bosses Rally Against Women AT
The Polls.

The combined machines of the regu-
lar Republican and Democratic parties
augmented by the efforts of the ants,
defeated the women of New Jersey in
their efforts to obtain the vote.
New Jersey bosses forgot their po-
litical differences and joined in COM
mon cause-that of bringing about the
defeat of the suffrage amendment to
the New Jersey constitution. Party
lines were obliterated and the Republi-
can and Democratic machines hitched
up into bipartisan steam roller which
was expected to fiatten the suffrage
vote into pancake.
''Davy" Bairu. the Republican boss
of south Jersey. aud film" Nugent,
the Democratic boss of north Jersey,
were the chief pushers of the steam
roller when the suffrage fight began.
AS the contest grew warmer, no wever,
and the chances of the suffragists in
creased. other bosses and near bosses
who had maintained a discreet silence
were forced to bestir themselves, so
that when the polls opened every po-
iltlcal boss in New Jersey, regardless
of ms political utilization, was lined up
against the amendment.
At first the opposition was of quiet
nature, but as soon as the confidence
of the machine men began to wear of, ,
word was sent to the boys to get
busy and bring out the vote just as
though it we're an election for presi-
dent. 1t wasn't long before such coun-
ties as Camden, Passiac, Middlesex,
Essex and even parts of Hudson, saw
political workers at the polls urging
and cajoling the intending voter to
cast his ballot against the amendment.
The political machines of course had
the active assistance of the brewers
and liquor dealers. Some people said
the brewers had the active assistance
of the politicians. Anyway, there
wasn't a harder working crowd against
the suffrage amendment than the State
Liquor Dealers Association. IN. Y.

Congressman Brown Fer Reasona
bic Predaredness.

Prior to the convening of Con-
gress our Congressman frankly
defines his position on the politi-
cal issues which will make the
coming Long Session memora-
BILE one in the history of the coun-
try.
His method of taking his con-
stituents into his confidence and
inviting their criticism, whether
favorable or not. is essentially
democratic in the broad sense of
the word.
Mr.. Brown stands for bigger
and better navy and adequate
coast defense, believing that here
lies the paramount protection
against hostile aggression.
While in favor of streng then
ing the army, he does not consid-
er it wise to go to the lengths
which militarists are urging, nor
to be stampeded by the hysteria
shown in some quarters.
In this position lie will be up
held by those who believe that an
invasion of the United States is
we'll nigh impossible, but that
enormous danger to our coast
towns and shipping such as we
have might be inflicted it we
continue to lack the modern nav
al equipment which the beliger-
ent nations have brought to such
high point Of efficiency.
Endorsing Rural Credit legis-
fation, Mr.. Brown speaks by the
book,
Already, as the ranking mem
Der of the Committee on Banking
and Currency, he has had oppor-
tunlty to familiarize himself with
all phases of the subject.
If, by process of amortization
the prospective landowner can,
by payment of a rate of interest
no higher than that which now
obtains, become the owner of his
farm within a comparative short
term by reason. of governmental
aid in the securing of loans at 8
per cent, it is "a contamination
devoutly to be wished"
The plan is not theoretical, but
has been in vogue for many years
in Europe with excellent results.
Not the least benefit of the sys-
tenn will be the enhancement in
land values which is bound to
follow.
Altogether, Mr.. Browns ideas
seem to be safe and feasible, and
if the legislation he proposes is
enacted into law, will greatly
ameliorate existing conditions.

Tourist Records Are Broken
 @ @ @ ~ @ @ Northern Arizona Popular Place Now

Never in the history of the state has Northern Arizona been so popu- ar as a summer place as it has been :his season. Records for the amount of tourist travel, both on the railroads and in automobiles have been broken, set, and broken again this year.
 Of all the vacation places, the Grand Canyon has proven the most popular this summer. In each month since the busy season opened, there have been more people at the canyon than there were during the whole of 1914. This astonishing statement is made by traffic officers on the rail road and by the hotel management.
 Transcontinental travel over the route from Albuquerque via Spring erville. Holbrook. Winslow, Flag staff, the Canyon, Williams and Needles has been especially heavy. Tourists at the canyon last week re- ported that in Arizona they had struck the best roads of their whole journey. The east has been cXperi- encing great rains. and road condi- tions are frightful.
 Samuel H. Roosevelt. a cousin of Theodore Roosevelt arrived at Grand Canyon last Wednesday. and he stat

ed that in his whole trip of twenty days from New York, he had had three dry days, and all of them had been since his arrival in this state He referred strictly to the weather, too.
 Road conditions between here and the north have improved somewhat since last year, but there are still lots of rough spots. Maricopa coun- tv is shamefully behind Yavapai and Coconino in the care of it's roads, and the very worst stretch in the whole journey north, lies between Phoenix and Wickenbufg.
 Really, there is little that can be done at present to fix this road. The to2ogra phical conditions demand a very sturdy and there fore a very expensive sort of road there. Mere grading and surfacing never would stop the continual action of the small winding watercourses after rains on . the desert.
 Until rains within the last week washed out places on the Tub Springs road, it was very much su- perior to the Allah route between Hot Springs Junction and Wicken- burg At present the Allah road is very sandy, with specially heavy sand in the Hassayampa bottom.

 After this first inning Stevens. tossing for the Smelterites, settled down to business and kept the hits well scattered. There were goose GEES for all until a little loose work by the Smelter team in the fourth netted two more for the Mill In this inning ZamIoch was first up and vent tc first on being hit by pitched ball and a moment later stole second Bauer followed with a grounder to second and as the ball was played to third to catch Zamloch it went through Lorenson, permitting Zam- loch to score. Later Bauer came home on grounder to short from Wachcb's bat.
 Then followed some fast work on both sides with blanks for both until the seventh. when Tom Pierce of the Shelter team pulled the sensation Of the day by flying over left field fence for a homer with Carnes on making the first tally for the orc puddlers In the eighth Toner was tapped a little more freely than usual resulting in another score for the Shelter team when Whalen went out On long fly to left and Stadelli scored from third on the throw in Tn the same inning little loose work of the- Shelter boys presenting two passed balls permitted Powell to reach home.

Sundays Terrible Tragedy Comes as Clircher to De termination of Federation to Stop Indiscriminate Speed Contests. RIDERS WILL BE
 CLASSFD CLOSELY Amateurs and Experts Sep arated. Dangerous Tracks Forbidden. and Other Safety First Rules-Tho Effect Locally.
By LYLE ABBOTT

Motorcycle racing received q much bigger blow Sunday than most people who heard of the accident here, real ize. Upon the death of Wm. Lueders in the F. A M. convention races at Sacramento on July 9. the Fedora tion of American emotorcyclistS started movement to revise it's racing rules with the idea of excluding amateurs from fast company, cutting down the number of entries allowed in short dashes. and otherwise limiting races on mile and half mile dirt tracks. The object of the move was to put a stop to racing among inexperienced riders and to render it impossible for fast riders to compete on dangerous tracks.
 The death of "BnT' Gerig, an F. A. NJ rider here. will probably clinch the determination of Competition Chairman John Donovan of the na- tional organization. to impose safety first rules on all sanctioned events.
 The loss of life from motorcycle racing accidents has been almost un- believeably light. when one considers the immense speed demonstrated by two wheelers. and the great number of race meets. Motorcycle contests are two to one more numerous than auto races. and ten times as num- erous as mile track races between four wheeled gas vehicles.
 Yet the toll has not been heavy. The sensational accidents of the last decade brought the motorcycle trade and almost ali the supporters of the

game to their feet in a vigorous pro test against board track and saucer track racing. Today, not a single 'murderdrOme" is prospering, and less than half a dozen of them are in eX- istence.
 Similar protests are being made now-not against motorcycle racing on tracks, but against the unneces- sary mingling of expert with unskill ed riders A classification has been demanded and has been brought out by the competition committee of the F. A NJ.
 Morbid Curiosity
 About town yesterday there was much talk concerning The Republ cans statement yesterday morning, to the effect that the death of Gerig would end motorcycle racing here.
 Some favored our views believing that such a terrible mishap would certainly dampen the order of even the sprightly motorcyclist. But many were outspoken in the belief that the racing game would never be so good from the promoters standpoint as in the near future. It was claimed that crowds will go to races, with the idea of seeing just such a sensational pile-up as that of two days ago The offer of the state fair commission of a separate day for motorcycling and thousand dollar purse, it was thought, might induce the motor cyclists to hold one tremendous speed carnival here this fall
 The Death Trap
 There was much talk about the death trap-the foolish fence that girdles the mile track on the outside. pr. l.. Boido. father of one of the racers. promoter of the Moose 900 mile race and a whole-souled enthusi- asst stoutly maintained that the fence must be removed before even horses should be allowed on the track. It affords no protection to anybody, he said. and merely stood there ready to batter out the life of any unfor- tunate racer-motOrcyclist or motor ist. who might chance to lose control and slide to the outside turn.

 Elliott would not be crippled, if

 said Dr. Boido.
 "The Moose race was promoted
 under safety first rules, and
 you'll notice that we spent money
 to remove hundreds of those fence
 posts. Whether or not there will
 be another race, only time, and
 the attitude of the fair comnis-
 sion toward the fence proposition
 can tell"
 The accompanying photographs taken very shortly after the accident, show some of the wreckage. A. N. Kalmbacher, recent arrival here From Wilmington, Delaware. chanced to be near and took the pictures.
 Yesterday, the machines involved hundreds of thrill-seekers, at the various motorcycle shops. At the Phoenix Cycle company, the gray monster. incredibly battered. was shown to an astonished multitude while practically all the motorcyclists dropped around to see the death ma = tIiilt.
