daily shooting the border at American soldiers this side. The Villa faction has drawn itself to- gether. much stronger apparently, than it has been at any time within year. It has defeated the Car rancistas several points along the west coast and has taken possession of less important towns. From nearly every part of Mexico come reports of dsaffecton except along the border where the influence of the Pershing column is felt and where within striking distance is almost the entire available military strength of the United States.
 No sane man believe that with the American troops withdrawn from Mexico, and with the removal of the thin line along the border, there will not be recurrence of the events which called the troops there It is impossible believe that Carranzas gov has been made any stronger than it was last April when our government found it necessary for self protection against the enemies of CarranZa to invade Mexico. Indeed, by that act of invasion we doubtless weakened the influence of Carranza over his own people We cannot restore that influence by withdrawal.
 We not arguing, however, that the presence of our troops in Mexico and along the border is complaining any good of permanent character. And citizens permanent should withdraw the troops but should be done regardless of the peace mission. We will restore wrecked prestige in Mexico by acceding to demand for withdrawal

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
A PERTINENT INQUIRY

Mir. J. H. Williams quite a large nroperty owner of Five Points, has handed us the following statement:
 Phoenix. Arizona,
 Sept II. 1916. Editor of the Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 My dear sir
 I feel the time has arrived Tor an investigation to ascertain why van Buren street has not been improved according to the plans prepared at the time the $25,00O bono issue was voted improvement
 At that time it was understood that the proceeds of this bond issue were to be used for the widening of Van Buren street from Central avenue to Second avenue to a uniform width, of which s16,000 was to be paid to the property owners involved in the wld- anjng of the street, and the balance of S9 900 was to be expended in defin ite improvements, including the synhoning and strengthening of the town ditch from First avenue to Sec ond avenue.
 | understand that in the contract that the city made with adjacent property owners. it was provided that if by June IS, 1916 the widening and improving as provided for had no, no, been done, the remaining said $9,0Ot should be turned over to the abuttine property owners. If these are the facts. it Is hard for anyone to con ceive the present inactivity on the part of the city officials in not com pleting this improvement work, ant | I feel that the fullest explanation should be given by the city official: without delay.

The Republican Primary

What the republicans of Arizona may do at the primary today may have an important bearing on the general campaign. They have it in their power to add many the votes the republican candidates will otherwise receive November :. A good show ing at the primary today will impress those unde- cided who dwell in the twilight zone between the two parties who are apt be attracted by the larger crowd. By undecided voters, should ex- pain we do not mean independent voters There are. perhaps comparatively few of these irresolute voters of the twilight but there some and their may be needed.
 It is true that there is little other incentive for republican voters to turn today. There exciting contests for the republican nominations and there are, generally presumed to be pretty well settled already There will therefore be drumming up of republican voters, there will be no automobiles securing the various precincts to bring them in. The primaries will seem One-sided; practically all the democrats who have been registered will be there at close of the bitterest factional campaign in the history of the party in Arizona. This extends pretty well along the line from the Baltic to the Carpathians There is we believe only one office in the state ticket the bone of fierce contention. Every democratic voter who is portable will be moved today by the partisans of the contestants.
 In these circumstances it would be impossible to make an equal republican showing. Even those who live in the twilight would probably make an allowance for considerable discrepancy between the apparent democratic vote and the apparent republi can But a very large republican vote would be a surprise which would result in a great advantage to the republican ticket in November.
 But in order to make decent showing every publican voter must act for himself. There is no organization promote his appearance at the polls today Party pride must impel him to take the time and trouble to his The polling places numerous The voting districts small, that very little time and trouble will be required of him. A vote at the republican primary today may mean two votes for the republican ticket in November

Mr. Wilkinson for the Senate

Mir H. B. Wilkinson who was solicited to become a candidate for republican nomination for the state senate from this county has been unable to take an active part in the primary campaign. For some weeks he has been detained in the and has not been able to meet the voters of the county but we think his reputation in this community, his high standing as professional and business and his record a clean public spirited citizen have done all the campaigning for him that necessary to be done.
 We cannot conceive that the voters when they have an opportunity to vote for such for the legislature will fail to do so for such opportunities do not come often MT. Wilkinson is a we'll equipped and thoroughly fitted by training and tenn perament for this office. He would not be of those legislators who go about their work blndly driven by outside sinister interests without knowing caring for the effect of it upon the people, Legisa ton having the approval of such a would be well-consdered and helpful. With him there would be no log rolling or indulgence in those petty devices which have generally tainted legislatures and brought them into contempt. Marcopa county will honor itself and the state by his nomination and election.
 When Mir. Wilkinson has appeared in politics he has appeared always for good cause; usually the advocate of some other man representing that cause. He has not refused himself to be candidate if he believed that there a chance thereby to promote that But no office in itself has been attractive to him. The state senatorship Is not attractive and he consented to become candidate for the office only when he convinced by large number of friends many of them democrats that he could better the county and the city in the legislature than he could it in any other way
 All this would mean to MT Wilkinson a sacrifice of time and money and comfort, but he has refused sacrifice of these things for the good of the community.

LIARS AND WORSE, ,EP|THETS
 IF DEMOS AS VOTING WEARS

MT. Davis was chairman of the print
 ing committee of the senate of the first legislature.
 Mir Davis yesterday evening issued circular in which he denied the
 statement of MT. Jones and presented statement from J. R. Rountree, then
 president and general manager of the
 State Press at that time stating that Mir Davis was not connected in any
 way with the printing committee; that he had disposed of his interest in the
 Press and that later, after the ad- l journment of the session, his retire ment from the firm, MT. Davis pur- chased his stock for a valuable con
 sideration. This, said Mir Rountree, was three years after the retirement of MT. Davis from the legislature. 1 Equally virulent is the controversy | between Messrs Betts and Miller, can | didates for the nomination for corpor- ation commissioner. But at late hour last night, or rather at an early hour this morning, there had been nc ] hloOdshed
Arizona republican., 1916-09-12

The democratic primary campaign closed with a siZZle last night, with affidavits. counter affidavits and can didates calling one another liars. There was no euphemism in their language They were so hurried and impatient to say what they had to say that they used the shorter words regardless of their ugliness.
 The evening paper contained an af- fidavit by Corporation Commissioner F. A. Jones saying that his former partner, H. A. Davis, after his election as state senator five years ago. dis posed of a substantial interest in the Arizona State Press. as he said. Tn order that he might bid for the iegis- lative printing. The affidavit stated that MT. Davis had told the affiant that he would turn his stock over to his forman or his wife.
 This statement was made by w. T. Smith. an opponent of MT. Davis for the democratic nomination for sen ator at a meeting held here week ago. and MT. Smith was quoted In Ihe Republican. Smith also stated that

Two Bills

Miss Helen Todd, secretary of the International Child Welfare League and also earnest suffragist, has arrived at Tucson where she will begin to take part in the campaign in this state in behalf of MT Hughes or perhaps rather, against Mir. Wilson Not withstandng the presidents attempt to put himself in favor with the suffragsts by his change of front at the Atlantic City conference last week, the suf- fragists rule inclined to deal with him cording to his performances rather than accord ing to his change of heart in the midst of campaign and his promises of future good conduct
 In late interview, Miss Todd who. secretary of the Child Welfare League, was speaking from a knowledge of facts declared that first president had declined to back the child labor bill ground that he had refused lend his support to the national suffrage amendment namely that it was a state matter and that the federal government could not properly interfere. Having forced child labor bill through at the last moment after 1t had failed for months to receive his favorable attention and having told its advocates that such legislation be- longed to the states Miss Todd asks why he should not have pushed the suffrage amendment through.
 There was and is yet strong doubt whether the child labor law is constitutional The president him. self, evidently entertained doubt on that point that had been raised by southern leaders of his own party who had strenuousy opposed the bill But he could have been assaed by such doubt regarding the suffrage amendment
 In her interview Miss Todd says further
 The women of the west who have had an equal share with the in building up the country whose mothers or whose grandmothers west on the old prairie schooners. cannot understand why the eastern women should be denied the right to vote and a share in government. In Arizona and many of the other where the came very easily to the women and where the would not have thought of voting against equal suffrage the women sympathize deeply with the difficulties which the eastern women have to fight against their struggle to gain their rights.
 In these days of preparedness, when women are giving of their money, their labor yes their own husbands and sons to the country, President Wilson shows that he does realize the spirit of the times In denying to women-who doing their share the industrial and every other phase of government preparedness-al right to have any share in the d- rection Of government. Surely a time when women have shown their willingness to work in intuition factories help bear the heavy taxation give freely of their sons for soldiers 1t is time to slam the door in their faces and tell them they can have no part in their government

 No figures have been given out by the project manager regarding damage to the system, but it is estimated that it will cost about $25,000 to repair breaks Tn canals and laterals and to dig out silt deposited in the ditches Ey the waters.
