Another interesting development was
the independence of the West, which is
asserting that 1t elected a president
without the aid of New York and Penn
sylvania and other big western and
central states. When Ii was found,
early in the evening of election day,
that the empire state had gone for
Hughes, the newspapers of the metrop-
oils, even those that had supported
Wilson, conceded the victory to the
Republicans. without waiting to hear
from the middle West. When the re-
turns came in from these regions. it
was found that the farmer and stock
raiser had decided the election.
Yet another fact that calls for COM
ment is that Governor Johnson of Cal
fornia. running on the Republican and
Progressive tickets, has been elected to
he United States senate by something
ike 100000 plurality. and yet the state
vent Democratic on the presidency.

prlvewaYs for Sheen.

Phoenix-Six strips of land, vary
ing from two to five miles in length,
have been withdrawn from entry by
presidential proclamation for the pur-
pose of affOrding driveways for sheep
in central Arizona according to ad-
vices received at the Phoenix u. 8.
Land Office. The driveways as with
drawn lead from the highlands down
to the valley, some of them leading as
far south az the headwaters of Cave
Creek in northern Maricopa county.
The one farthest north leads from the
Black Hills to the Little Chino Valley
west of Jerome Junction.

making the rounds at all hours
of day and night since the cleo
ton agitating a n d charging
upon the matter.
We haye made an investiga-
ton of the cause of the commo-
tion and learn that the trouble
arose with the organization Of
the election board. Thru a mis-
take the board appointed by the.
supervisors were all democrats
with the exception of one clerk.
The republicans objected and
secured a judge, leaving the
board still democratic. During
the day the republican challen-
ger, with the advice and con-
sent of the election officers, ex-
planned the ballot to four differ
ent voters within the polls who
were unfamiliar with the intri-
cacies of the blanket. And aside
from this little infraction there
was some electioneering on the
outside within the hundred and
fifty foot limit.
Admitting that these little
evasions of the law are wrong,
and that the election board
should be held to a strict ac-
countability for allowing them,
we doubt if any precinct can
show a cleaner record or a freer
expression of the voters than
was exhibited here on election
day.

on Nov. 25, 1916, an examination will

which it is expected to make certifi-

unless it shall be decided in the inter

0. D. FLAKE AND GOVERNOR HUNT
WOULD CONTEST SNOWFLAKE VOTE

Snowflake has received con-
siderable free advertising since
the election thru the vocal or
gans of Osmer d. Flake, repre-
sentative elect to the legislature,
who alleges irregularities, and
a shortage of votes for himself,
in this precinct. 1t is reported
that a contest is being framed
up and that a barrel of money
has been subscribed by defeated
candidates on the democratic
ticket who are interested in hav-
ing the board of supervisors en-
joined from counting the cleo
tlon returns from this place.
Whether the report is true or
not, it is a fact that several
candidates who were shy of the
required number of votes for
their election have been hot
footing around town lately in
quiring into the matter. Even
Gov. Hunt became so interested
that he telegraphed a party in
Holbrook to ascertain if it would
be possible to have the Snow
flake vote thrown out. Sam
Proctor and Ed Sawyer, disci-
pies of honesty and political
righteousness, journeyed over
from Winslow to investigate the
matter for him. Joe Woods and
j. c. Paulsell of Holbrook pre-
ceded them a few hours in their
own behalf, besides a number
of gumshoe henchmen have been

New Hampshire q Surprise.
Perhaps the most surprising Of all
the states was New Hampshire. It
alone of all New England failed to give
the Republican candidate a substantial
plurality, and for days no one knew
in which column it would land. The
astonishing clOseness of the vote was
shown by the rival claims, three days
after the election, of 100 plurality for
Hughes and "a for Wilson. In the CIR
cumstances it is no wonder that the
managers of both parties should de-
mand recount.
New Mexico, with three electoral
votes, atrrHcted national attention by
placing itself early In the list Of doubt
full states and as 1t soon appeared that
almost every electoral vote would be
vital, the returns from down on the
border were grabbed hot off the wires.
After veering back and forth for days,
New Mexico was definitely placed in
the Wilson column, though there, too,
the presidents margin was SO scant
that basis was afforded for the call
for a recount. A few mistakes dis
covered in the figures Of the precinct
officials might well swing the state
over to Hughes.
Wilcox Demands Recount.
On Friday National Chairman WILL
cox of the Republican party handed
out the following statement:
"The result still depends upon the
vote in few close states. 1t must be
borne In mind that the returns thus
far announced are, in most states, un-
official. and may be changed by the
official count required by the laws of
those states.
"Twice during these unofficial COM
putatiOns yesterday in California mis-

from that state, substantially changing
figures previously given.
''It is common experience that the
result of the official count almost al
ways varies from the returns first an

he that material changes will result

POLITICAL SKIES VERY MUCH DARKENED
AT THIS TIME.

| It is said that William Jennings Bryan may
head a new anti-preparedness faction in the
democratic party. The commoner feels so
strongly on the preparedness issue, which he
bluntly calls militarism, that he probably would
go to such lengths If he believed his action could
defeat the possibility Of the big army and navy
men winning in congress. Such action, however
would be an extreme menace to the admnistra-
tons chances for a continuation in office, and
the probabilities are that if Bryan shows signs
of carrying out any such move a compromise
would be effected. The power of Bryan in Ameri-
can political history is frequently entirely over
looked by his friends and foes alike. IL must be
admitted that, though he was defeated for the
presidency three times, he twice got more votes
than did either Roosevelt or Taft when they
were elected, and now his action at the Balti-
more convention nominated Woodrow Wilson
and virtually placed him in the White House, is
still recent history. Bryan, therefore, must be
considered the "black horse i'm the democratic
party, and on what he intends to do will depend
the final actions of the administration to a large
extent.
Just now Bryan is battering the administra-
ton hard in his publication, the Commoner, and
he has such stellar political lights as Claude
Kitchin leader Of the house, with him against
preparedness. Whether the administration will
ultimately decide to sail defiantly in the face OF
Bryans enmity is one of the interesting develop
ments TO be awaited. There is no doubt that
power, but no man knows whether IL Is suffi-
cient 10 brighten the president into conciliatory
tactics. The presidents close friends say he
isn't inclined to pay the slightest attention to
Bryan, but such conclusion undoubtedly is an
exaggeration. Bryan threatens 10 be the Roose-
welt Of the democratic party in 1916 unless his
views are embodied TO some extent, and the prob
abilities are that the president has learned from
the lesson given by his predecessor in the White
House, and may conclude discretion is the better
part of valor.
Politicians are forecasting that this Is 10 be
a troublesome year on the seas Of politics. The
issues are mixed as never before There are fac
tons in all parties. Even what remains Of the
progressives are split into two camps on the pre-
paredness issue, headed by Roosevelt on the one
hand and Miss Jane Adams on the other. It's
going TO be tough shedding all year. and II Is
probable that the value of an independent vote
will be higher than ever before, with conse-
quent struggle by all factions-or parties, II you
please-to snare IL.
