 Being Original And Culled Notes From Exchanges Up
 on Interesting Subjects

The principal theme of the Arizona newspapers, at the present time, ap- pears to be the question as to the complexion of the six delegates who were elected at the Republican con
 rention in Tucson last Saturday. The
 majority opinion appears to favor the
 conclusion that the delegation is an
 old guard" affair.
 The Douglas Dispatch, an avowed Progressive organ, in commenting upon the results of the convention, las the following warning under the Jeat of Republican Convention:
 "Old Guard Republicans won out at
 he state meeting at Tucson Saturday
 n the selection of a delegation tO
 he national convention at Chicago
 inder the same conditions as prevail
 d at the county convention in Co., chise some weeks ago.
 The brightest action of the con vention was in defeating the ambi- ton of Ralph Cameron, who has been prominent among the political casual ties in Arizona for some years. This, together with the action of the con vention in sending the delegates to Chicago uninstructed, helps making it possible for the national convention to do what the local convention failed to urge-namely, nominate Roosevelt pr some progressive Republican who will unite the two factions
 "The old guard in Arizona may die hard, but it will have to give way sooner or later. There is no earthly chance of the Republicans in Arizona ever winning an election without the aid of the Progressives, and the sooner they realize this fact and make it possible for the Progressives to re- turn to the party under favorable con- ditions, the sooner they will be re- turned to office.
 The convention failed to endorse any aspiration for the United States senate and left this matter to be de cided at the adjourned meeting in Prescott, July 6. The boom for Pro lessor Percival Lowell of Flagstaff and Boston. which was engineered by F. s. Breen, failed to materialize and if the Republicans loot at state co?di- lions in a common sense manner they will forget the astronomer and in- dorse Judge Kibbey at the mile High city. This will open the way for the support of the Progressives, whici must be had of the Democrats win continue to represent Arizona in tlie upper house of congress and hold the state government"
 The Tucson Citizen. Standpat paper Jf Pima county, views the situation
 hot ,L icans were sufficiently open minded. : l defense of the conventions action ne paper says:
 "The selection of Judge Edward lent as chairman of the Arizona delegation to the Republican National Convention at Chicago is proof suffi- | ,ient that the delegation is not reac- tionary"
 Col James II. McClintock, post master of Phoenix under Roosevelt ! and Taft, a former Rough Rider, luthor of the History of Arizona, yriting for the Fl Paso Herald. has the action of the Republican conyen- ion. McClintock, it might be said Tas member of the delegation from dericopa county:
 Saturdays action in the Republican. state convention definitely throws Arizona in the anti-Roosevelt column. 0f the six delegates chosen, only Judge Edward Kent is at all likely to .avor the colonel, at whose appoint nent he served as chief justice of Arizona in the territorial days.
 Chas. A. Overlook, of Douglas, was United States marshal of Arizona un- Ter Taft and is a consistent member )f the old guard.
 LeRoy Anderson, of Prescott, is counsel for ex-Senator Clark's United Verde Mining company.
 Fred s. Breen, Flagstaff newspa- per man, has been known as friend of former Speaker Joe Cannon.
 John B. Wright. a Tucson lawyHr. has liberal tendencies, but is 'resu- lar" Republican, while Ph. Freuden- thai, of Solomonville, always has been known as a strict party man.
