HOW ABOUT IT, ARIZONA DEMOCRATS?

Il HOW ABOUT lT, ARIZONA DEMOCRATS!
 The utter failure the primaries speak forth in convincing feelings of the citizens of Arizona in regard to choice gubernatoral candidates is more significant than the victory" of Hunt the de feat" Olney the placid acceptance of Campbell Tuesdays election accomplished little than the masking of the of this State revealing indifferent the future of the Commonwealth and un- concerned to who fills the Chief Executives chair
 Proof of this fact is furnished by election returns parts of the State In illustration of this proof the following figures from Maricopa county published by the Arizona Republican
 Tn this county there about II 900 Democrats istered Many had registered nonpartsan and many others had registered for the primary election at all Hardly 40O0 Democratic votes cast at the primary about 30 per the registered Democratic vote probably 25 per of the supposed Demo- cratic vote Here we have about 70 per of the Democrats of Marcopa county whose apathy disgust kept away from the polls They cared for neither Hunt, Olney any other Democratic candidate.
 Confronted with these facts, the question naturally arses Is the Democratic party in Arizona moribund? What is necessary put rigidity into the spines of the heirs Thomas Jefferson? They have got them selves a bad fix by negecting to nominate who is entitled to respect exponent of Democratic prn iples exclusively Hunt as bound by political affiliations is neither fish, flesh fowl Here is how the Nogaes Herald describes heading, "Wsl Hunt and Socialism Win?"
 "The primary is and the people will now have to another and greater election to be held next Noyem per To many the conservative citizens who have be come tired of all isms that he stands for he a shock, from which they have not yet re- Covered From press and stump they have proclaimed he dangers of Huntism to the voters, only the s W. w element win in walk. The danger to the fu ure welfare been lessened and it is ,p to time Democracy give this dangerous ele nent defeat November that will stop the growth of .narchy and rotfesed that is graspng for hold the fair of Arizona.
 There danger staring the people in the face in ase is reelected. It will be license for strikes ong anarchy chaos and for the next four Arizona is infancy, making the first epoch in its history. it let such history, countenanced nd perpetrated by the McNamara stripe, be hroniced the future? Will good Democrats let artisanshp they will go the polls md vote for for governor whose actions in the is appeal to the baser passions of the people? Will they allow themselves to forget the patriotic orefathers who their time and lives for the esab shng of a free and united people? We believe
 To elect Hunt again will be but fasen the necks If oligarchy that will be in the ays of Nero. It will be giving away the rights of the ommon people for that of the inolerant dynamitist of he l. w w stripe. True Americans will be a thing of he past foreign labor influence will be in the saddle ]
 M The results of the primaries prove clearly that Ari Democrats at best blind and idle lot If they eally endorse Hunt why did they fail support him?
 they repudiae him, why did they fail administer knockout blow when opportunity offered?
 But what you going to do about it, Democrats of .rizona?
