Democrats profess supreme confid

Democrats profess supreme confid- ence in their ability to re-elect the President-or, perhaps, better phras- ed, in the ability of the President to re-elect himself. Yet when the topic is taken up in detail, state by state there are many essential elements lacking to a successful computation They expect no electoral votes in New England. They doubt if they car carry New York. They know that they cannot carry Illinois or Ohio and that the chances are against them in In. diana. There is an axiom in mathe. matics that the whole is equal to the sum of its parts-yet Democratic leaders who contend that they car carry the country admit that they cannot carry the states which are most necessary to a national victory.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HUNT
 VICTORY

George Olney is an estimable gen. tleman, a good citizen, a loyal Arizo- nan and good Democrat but he never stood the slightest chance of defeating Geo. W. P. Hunt for the democratic nomination for governor Arizona.
 For the third time, Gov Hunt has demonstrated that the political ma chine which he has built up in this state with aid of Mulford Winsor Mother Jones, Olaf Tveitmore and other lesser lights has strangle hold on the Democratic party. And now we find Hunt at the head of the Dem ocratic party, his enemies routed standing for a third term in an office in which he has already served five years and which he hopes to hold fol the rest of his natural life.
 Those Democrats who stand against all that Hunt represents, and there art many of them, as shown by the sub stantial vote that George Olney re ceived in every community, cannot hope to defeat him within the party The result of yesterdays primary il sufficient evidence of this fact. | they would rid the party of Hunt anc what stands for their only chance i to go without the party in this cleo tion. When it has been shown tha the Democratic party cannot win witl Hunt, his political death knell vii have been sounded and in anothe election the party can come back witt

clean hands and with candidate who can command the support of all self respecting Democrats.
 The record of George W. P. Hunt as governor of the state of Arizona is well known to every citizen who reads the newspapers and follows public events. It has been discussed at length by leading Democrats from the platform in this campaign and in the Democratic newspapers.
 We cannot believe that after all they have said about him, these men and these newspapers will let mere partisanship prevent them from talk ing stand that their own best inter- ests and the best interest of the state of Arizona to which they are devoted, require them to make.
 The Republicans of Arizona are united on Tom Campbell, because they believe him to be clean, capable, cour- ageous, independent, fair and big enough to give every class and inter- est in Arizona a square deal. There is no good reason why any Democrat, who has stood against Hunt, cannot support Tom Campbell. He is not 2 dynamiter. He is not a rabid part isan. He is not a machine politician. His election will spell prosperity for the state. It will mean that Arizona is finally freed of government by a machine and class.
 Many Republicans registered as Democrats to aid George Olney. This course was condemned by party men but it must be remembered that they were using every means at their com mand to get rid of the man who rules Arizona with an iron hand. The sub- stantial aid which they gave him was insufficient to nominate him, but they still have another chance and if those Democrats who like them believe that another two years of Hunt is a men, ace to the state, will return the favor and vote the Republican ticket, they will get rid of Hunt for all time. The significance of the Hunt victory is that you cannot get rid of Hunt save through the election of a Repu. blican governor.-Tucson Citizen.

Now, therefore, the days have come upon us when one man shall say to another: q have always loved thee and thy friends, and thy friends friends, and should you and the wife of your bosom, so constrain to believe and have exceeding faith in me, it would verify give me great pleasure in.;receiving your vote--you will find my, name by careful study on the Ma yajo blanket-like affair designated as a ballot, but which looketh heap like a bed spread" Indeed strenuous days have come upon the people when they shall be caused to gather the select men for the high places and the places where salaries are paid. Therefore, beware, lest in an ungarded moment thy finger silppeth on the pencil and you vote man merely because he can do the work and talketh not continu- ally of himself through his headgear of the things he should have done but did not do; instead of the man whose precipitation is invaluable because of the scarcity thereof, and always has plenty of time to tell you of the hard work he is trying to attempt to en- deavor in the interest of the people, but has not time sufficient to attend to other duties of the office.

JUST WHERE ARE WE AT

In the mind of the average man who does some thinking and reading of his own, the recent law passed by congress making an eight hour day for railroad men, is pure, unadulter- ated game of "bunc." As a matter of fact, this law has put off the evil hour-until the coming election. The railroad managers say they will take the law to the supreme court of the United States. They will. There are many decisions on the question, all in favor of the employer. The law as passed seemed to answer the purpose for the time being. It was "sop'' that temporarily stopped the strike until the employees find that it was but "sop," it might tide over unti! after election day.
 The great trouble with a laboring man is that he will vote for any old "eight hour" law, but fail to note the joker down the line in the body of the law that takes all the virtue out of it.
 Results are what should be consid- cred, rather than the "title" over the proposed law-the title does not make law-it is the stuff that follows it, study that and see what it means and what it will do if it is made law.
 To some, a fine sounding title to a bill is more than results they want to attain. The title may say "an eight hour law" and then down some where in the body of the bill insinuate the fact that it means "eight hours in the forenoon and eight hours in the afternoon"-it is the details of such laws that are of more import ance than the mere title of them, and some day some one will find this out.
 Few read the bill, or know what it contains, but the title is most excel lent, consequently it must be in the interest of the laboring man.
 Election day is a great day for the laborlng man to get hls-and he usually does-both ways. Then he wonders how it all happened.
 A few dollars beat him to it and got him in wrong and he can't seem to understand why it happened-but it did.
 Regardless of the great fight be- tween capital and labor, so called, we believe there is a good element and great strong one, and the ones most interested who thoroughly believe in square shake between the two.
 The great big element in between the two contending factions want facts, not great patches of "bunc" and the big element in between will deliv- CT the goods.

A NON-PART1SAN COURT

The Supreme Court of this state has been solidly Democratic ever since statehood, whereas the spirit and intent of our constitution de- mands non-partisan judiciary. The constitution requires that candidates for judicial offices shall have their names placed on the regular ballot in alphabetical order without any part isan designation whatever. The prim- ary law passed by the first state leg islature wholly ignores this intent of the constitution by requiring judicial candidates to be nominated in the party primaries.
 Every well-informed voter will agree that the Supreme Court of oui state should be non-partisan. Under the present system of choosing oul

Of course no Republican will have any reason whatever for not support ing Judge Baughn for this important office. Judge Baughn's record in Pin al county, and indeed in every place in the state he has held court, has been such as to command the respect and admiration of both Democrats ard Republicans and has given him a well-earned reputation for splendid ability and absolute fairness.
 Judge Baughn did not seek the nomination and in fact for a long time refused to run, and he is just the type of judge who would make a good record on the supreme bench.

judges for that court the only step that can be taken toward non-parti- sun court is the election of at least one Republican as member thereof.
 The constitutional convention was controlled by Democratic majority and hence every Democrat in the state is committed to the idea of a non partisan Supreme Court. For this reason no Democrat will have any ex- cuse, except purely partisan one, for refusing to support Judge o. J. Baughn of Pinal county, the Republi- can nominee for the Supreme Court. Every Democrat who does support him will be carrying out the Dem ccratic party's principles by working for a non-partisan court.

It is unfortunate for the country that the public is ready to accept the theory that President Wilson played politics with the threatened railway strike. But what else could be ex- pected in view of the way he has played politics, or tried to play it, with so many important questions :?
 If he had not shifted and reversed on so many issues when he found him. self on the unpopular side, there would be more confidence in his sin cerity. V
