It is to be expected that the meeting of the state democratic committee next Sat urday at Phoenix will result in some new can didates being discovered As yet there are only few declared candidates for the demo cratic nomination next September, -- though it is known that practically all the old state officials will be n the race seeking to be their own successors. It IS understood that Frank Duffy, chairman of the state committee, has about made up his mind to announce him. self as 3 candidate for the seat now held by Judge Ross on the supreme bench. Duffy had been mentioned as probable candidate for governor and 1t is believed that Duffy would un in case Governor Hunt should make up his mind to give way to another Nit Sims has announced himself as a candid ate for Secretary of State and will, it is under stood, be opposed by Sid Osborne, the pres ent incumbent. D. F. Johnson, the first state treasurer, will almsot surely be candidate to succeed Mir. Sims and return to the office he held as result of the first state election. We shall expect to know more after the meet ing of the committee, as to what to expect ln the campaign than we do now. The com mt:ee is called for the purpose of taking up tie matter of providing delegation from Arizona in the national democratic conven- ton in St. Louis next June. All will be of Ari1 ona for president

Present indications are that highway

Present indications are that highway connecting Clifton and the agricultural dis tricts with the Mogollon mines in New Mex ico, will become an assured fact. In addition to the Mogollon mines rich timber and ranching section will be brought into busi- ness relations with us. Correspondence be- tween the Greeniee County Chamber of Com- merce and the mine managers at Mogollon has progressed to a stage where a joint committee will go over the proposed con- necting route within few days for the pur- pose or making report and estimate of cost.

MT. Cross-Humph! Changed your ideas about suffrage, haven't you? Five years ago, before we were married, you were all for giving women the vote; but now
 Mrs. Cross-Now I'm against it, and I'll tell you why. A woman would use about as much judgment in voting for 8 man as she uses in selecting one for a husband; and just see what fail. ure she generally makes of that.

We hope the democratic leaders of Ari zona. assembled in committee meeting at Phoenix tomorrow, will give evidence of their ability by avoiding any friction and un- necessary wrangling. The committee meet ing is the first step to be taken in Arizona in the national campaign this year.

SETTING UP THE BOGY MAN.

Dunbars Weekly is busily engaged in setting up "bogy man. in one issue, and knocking him down in the next,in connection with the democratic nomination for Cover nor. The democratic voters are not so easily fooled, and they are the ones who will make the nominations on the democratic ticket next September. The attempt of the Cover nors organ to align George Olney with any clique organization, or seekers after special privileges, will fall of its own weight Dun bars Weekly should bear in mind, constant ly, that George Olney is equally as we'll known, honored, and respected in the state of Arizona as the present governor. And, furthermore, his official record as member of the Territorial Board of Equalization; mem- Der of the Territorial Council, and later Su- pervisor of Graham county, a record that shows devotion to equalization of taxes strict business economy and equal rights to all, compares favorably with that of any pub lie official in the history of the state-includ- ing the official record of Dunbars candidate for third term in the Governors office.
 A special privilege collar won't fit around the neck band of George Olney, as those who have attempted 1t in the past, have discovered. We predict that the hand of the political slanderer will be called in this campaign The democratic voters have a right, and we opine that they will insist in this election on fair and straightforward campaign, free from buncombe and soclalis- tic demagogism campaign of facts and a platform of principles for each candidate who seeks their suffrage; where false inslnuatlons are tabooed, to the end that the voters may have clear understanding of the merits of the candidates and the issues and principles which each represents and advocates
 The political ''boss, whether he be mine manager, a railroad president, graft ing politician, or an inscriptions editor will find no place in our priamry election. The great army of democratic voters realize there is no boss They also realize fully well that they will exercise their choice, in the demo- cratic primaries free from any mercenary in- f1uence, intimidation, or coercion from any man or any set of men. If any voter admits his subjugation to a political "boss' he IS not fit to exercise the ballot.
 Let the democrats conduct their pri- mary in manner that will appeal to the best judgment of the voters, free from lnuen+ does and suspicious generalities bearing, in mind that the support of the party, following the primaries, is essential to an election.

OBITUARY.

In the death of Archibold Morrison and E. C. Heck the community has lost two of its foremost citizens, men occupying prom inent positions in the industrial life of the town, and enjoying the respect and confidence of all classes. Their untimely death has cast a pail of gloom and sadness over all. "Ar- chic" Morrison was numbered among the old pioneers of the district and among these old timers his loss is keenly felt. His good qualities were innumerable His word was his bond and his hand was always extended to help the unfortunate and distressed. Of jovial disposition he endeared himself to his friends and many remain to testify to his acts of kindness and consideration. Archie Mor- risson will be sadly missed in Clifton.
 He always said, Good morning" II And emphasized the good"
 As if he'd make it happy
 For each one, if he could.
 I often think and say, That one of his Good mornings"
 Clung to you all the day,
 And made you always cheerful j, Just thinking of the sound;
 It always Good morning"
 Long as he around
 The Arizona Copper Company, Ltd, has lost a trusted and valued employee; the community an honored and beloved citizen, and his wife kind and devoted husband.
 E. C. Heck, although more recent ar rival in our midst, was well and favorably known. As superintendent of the Clifton Water & Improvement Company, he held a responsible position and under his able man. agement was brought to its present state of efficiency. MT. Heck was young man of high ideals; scrupulously honorable in all his dealings: man of excellent habits and in the business world a bright and prosperous future was before him.
 Truly in the midst of life we are in death.
 Two sterling citizens of Clifton are gone but their memory still fingers and ever will among those who by so long association knew th:n best.
 Leaves lave their time to fall,
 And flowers to wither at the north winds Breath,
 And Stars to set; but all
 Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1916-03-03

The Greenlee county supervisors should be quick to accept the proposition submit ted to them by the State Engineer for begin ming work on the East and West State High way between Clifton and Safford No time should be lost in placing this rich and pros porous district on the main line of the Southern National Highway.
