Prohibition Party Orators.

1t was not very large, or
enthusiastic audience that greet
ted ]. Frank Hanly and Ira
Landrith, the prohibition candi-
dates for President and Vice
President, when they arrived in
the city Monday morning on
their special train. and were bill
ed to address the multitude from
the rear platform. The lack Of
numbers was no indication that
our people are not interested,
and deeply interested in the
matter of keeping Arizona dry,
but they are not interested in
the success of a prohibition party
The question Of prohibition can
be settled quicker as a non
partisan issue, and there is no
demand for a separate political
party any more than there
should be a separate political
party to champion the cause of
woman suffrage. The people of
all political parties are fast
beginning to realize that the
whisky influence is a menace to
good government, and they are
joining hands to pass amend
ments to the constitutions ban
ishing it from the states just as
has been none in Arizona. If
Arizona had to wait until the
prohibition party brought about
prohibition in this state the day
would be far removed. No
where in this country has the
prohibition party succeeded in
writing a prohibition statute in
the laws of any state, and all the
advance made has been by a
non-partisan effort. The prohi-
bition party as party is simply
joke, whose members delude
themselves with the idea they
are accomplishing great good.

present and make short talks will
be Joe Prochaska, candidate for
secretary of state, Junge O. J.
Baughan, candidate for supreme
judge and Norman J. Mckenzie,
candidate for mine inspector.
County Committees Organize.
The newly elected republican
and democratic county commit
tees met in Holbrook last Satur-
day in preliminary conferences
for their permanent organization,
a move made necessary from the
fact that the democratic primary
law has one cylinder head blown
out and is running on a flat
wheel. At the conference the
committees did everything they
would have done had the meet
ings been held according to law,
but the final action was not taken
in the matter until Tuesday, the
legal and proper day.
The republicans organized by
electing J. F. Mahoney for chair
man, and w. H. Clark for secre-
tary. The members of the state
committee ave J. F. Mahoney, J.
H. Chapman, H. F. Bushman,
w. H. Clark, Jos. w. Smith and
j. L. Willis. Member of the
state executive committee is Pc
ter Henderson. Another session
of the county committee will be
held shortly to make appoint
ments to fill two vacancies on the
ticket.
The democrats organized by
electing Geo. P. Sampson for
chairman, and G. H. Jordan for
secretary. The members of the
state committee are Geo. P.
Sampson, ]. ]. Shumway, r. G..
Bazell, Sam Proctor, Frank Ellis
worth and r. 6. Teeple.
Bouquet for Supt. Tuttle.
Division Superintendent R. H.
Tuttle, of the Santa Fe, went
through Flagstaff Monday on his
way to Williams where he is max
ing a general clean up of the
right of way by removing the
old brick depot and other build
ings and putting them on the
regular street lines.
Supt. Tuttle has an eye to the
eternal fitness of things and has
cleaned up more of the unsightly
buildings, ripped out old and use
less shacks and fences along the
line, especially inside corporate
limits, than any other superin-
tendent who ever held the job.
His eye for symetery has not
cost the Santa Fe a great deal,
but it has added thousands of
dollars in value not only to the
Santa Fe but to all the adjacent
property. Evidently he does not
believe in a tumble-down wreck
of a town if he can avoid it. His
efforts have improved the yard
condition and railroad property
100 per cent since he came into
power on this division. His sys-
tenn of handling things has done
more to convince the people that
the railroad company has an in
terest in the cleanliness and pro-
gressiveness of the community
than all the fancy pamphlets the
company could send out to the
people in the next twenty years.
Under his administration the
people are getting an actual dem
onstration of doing things and
keeping up with the progressive
ness of the communities, instead
of sending out colored pictures
of things as they should look in
a hundred years from now when
the directors or some other high

DENTIST ACCUSED

FAST RECOVERING
DR.. Waite Admits Getting
Arsenic But Says Ii Was at
Mr.. Packs Request

New York, March 25. = DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite, accused of the murder
of his father-in-law John E. Peck,
millionaire drug manufacturer of
Grand Rapids, Mich, awoke to-day
in Bellevue Hospital to find himself
closely guarded and forbidden to re-
ceive visitors, with two exceptions.
These were his aged parents who
came here from Grand Rapids last
night prepared to furnish legal as
sistance for their son. The young
dentist, although still suffering from
the effects of the drug which he took
two days ago was reported much i'm
proved to-day
Believe Son Innocent
Waite was cheered to-day by pros
poets of seeing his father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren w. Waite, who
came here last night from their home
in Grand Rapids. Waite's father was
not permitted to see him when he
called at the hospital late last night.
"Our son never committed this aw-
full crime of which they charge him.
said Mr.. Waite. Give him a chance
and we feel certain it will be cleared
up" Mr.. Waite added that he
brought message to the accused man
from his wife. who is i'll at the Peck

did not believe word of all that had
been said about him.

say about him and another woman,

Detectives say to-day they have
found and identified the woman with
whom DR.. Arthur Warren Waite had
registered at hotel here as Mr.. and
Mrs A. w. Walters" She was desert
ed as formerly a singer in public and
now the wife of an inventor and cleo
trical engineer. She said DR.. Waite
had fitted up a studio in the hotel so
that they could study music and Ian

said, had often expressed to her his
great affection for his father-in- law,

accused
DIR. Waite's admission to. the district
attorney that he had handed to Mr..
Peck a package of arsenic and the
young dentists assertion that Peck
wanted it to commit suicide because
of his wife's death, does not alter
the intention of the prosecution to
continue his investigation.

Jewish Discussion Causes
Split in Russian Duma

Petrograd, March %. - The first
days discussion in the duma of an
Interpolation brought by opposition
members urging a cessation of alleged
illegal acts against the Jews and an
extension of their privileges caused a
tumult in the chamber.
a speech by NJ. Zamyslovsky. con-
servative against the adoption of the
Interpolation was continually inter-
rupted with shouts from the oppo-
sition and he was finally forced to
abandon the floor. Thereupon the con-
servative faction moved out of the
hall. M. Zamyslovsky contended that
adoption of an Interpolation resolution
would be interpreted as an act favor
ing Hebrewism, and the conduct of the
Jews was not such as to deserve a
favorable declaration from the duma.

SO, 900 Shells Fired in
Short Time by Russians on
East Front Against Germans

Berlin, March "a, via London, March
25.-The importance of the struggle
around Verdun naturally overshadows
interest in the contest on the eastern
front. but the latest dispatches show
that hard fighting is in progress in the
northern sector of the Russian line.
The Russian fire became intense on
the evening of March 10. More than
10000 shells, chiefly of heavy caliber.
fell over a small section of the front
near Postavy. German wire entangle-
ments and the front line trenches were
damaged by this fire. At night the
Russians attacked in thick waves.
