SMITH FOR WHITE: ASHURST FUR
 IRWIN; APPOINTMENT DEADLOCK

Weediu. there was considerable surmise expressed relating to possible compro- mise candidates. It is thought likciy that in the event neither Smith or Ash urst are able to agree on their two Can- dicates, they will be compelled to adopt middle course and name some one m strong with the party in Arizona aside from either White and Irwin.
 White is an eX-sheriif of Coch se county. Irwin is local realty dealer It has been known here for some time that out Of the plethora of deserving democrats who have sought the office Ashurst was pledged Co hack the claims of Irwin. Still. the appointment is be- lleved 70 bc among the spells of war of the senior senator. who named Colonel Ncedin. after Governor Hunt had brOk . cn his word and named r.. F. Sims to be warden of the state penitentiary. Thus. Smith vas forced to make the land office opening for Wcedin to find 9 place for the man who had been de- feated by Hunt for the first glherua e tOrial nomination. but who had been urged on the governor by practically every state candidate on the democratic ticket that year

by the poet laureate of England, Rob-

King George. Its main implication
in the sequence of thought which is to
more or less degree followed out Is
that spirituality is the basis and foun-

The temperament of the poet is seen
throughout all the book. which is as
sembled in a desire to interpret life
in the light of higher things and sub

turning away from the scenes of

paean of praise for and glory in the

bartlett Publishing Co.,

In one word the thought and sub
stance of this volume can be expressed
Preparedness is the subject which
has the country in debate as no other
has had for years. and that is the real
message of the book. Not fiction
preparedness wherein the author has
had to draw upon his imagination; not
a theoretical preparedness wherein he
advances many of his views; but a
sound. logical preparedness which he
discusses with President Lincoln, mar
tyred and returned in the spirit to talk
with General Hazard, a veteran of the
Civil War. The author has gone back
over the centuries and shown how ma
tions victorious have become subjected
to their own RIGHTEOUSNESS, the after
math of victory. He traces carefully
the history of nations relative to their
naval power and brings his lesson
home through our national expert
ence in the wars of 1912 and on
through the Spanish-American war.
The entire book is written in the form
of conversation, the Martyr but briefly
responding at intervals. The negro
and social questions are touched upon,
but give place to the subject which has
