DEMOCRATIC CONTROL CAN RE RETAINED.

The democratic party Tn Arizona will be in shape next year to win victory which will leave room fo< contest, if there is any sort of wisdom employed by the leaders during the next eighteen months What the Arizona democracy needs now Is a leader that will be trusted by the Hunt and anti-Huht factions. It ought not be a hard matter to find such a man among the distinguished mem bers of the party in the state The democra- tic party has in the past accomplished much for Arizona and its industries and industrious people. Our splendid public school sys- tenn was promoted by this party, which al- ways stood loyal in maintaining it; the good road system now started in the state must be credited to the democratic party; -splen- did delegation in the congress of the United States were chosen from the ranks of the Ari- zona democracy; the entire progress of the old territory and new state during the past quarter of century must be set down as one of the results of legislatures controlled by Ari- zona democrats. There is no danger of los ing any strength from the democratic party if the men worthy to lead it will come to- gether in friendly council in marking the path to be followed in the future. If the demo- crats showed loss of adhesiveness in the last election 1t was because of the effort of one man to dictate its every course and to read out of the party all the newspapers and promi- nent individuals who refused to agree with his idiosyncrasies. Republicans who hope that the success of Tom Campbell in winning the governorship will mean future republican control of the state will have another hope coming when the campaign warns up in 19I8 unless we miss our guess. Whether Campbell or Hunt wins the election contest will have little to do with the ability of the democrats to get back into their oldtime i'm pregnable positions if wise council prevails during the next year,

DOUGLAS PRECINCT NO. I.

The word received here Saturday evening announcing that Judge Stanford, before whom the gubernatorial contest is being heard, in Maricopa county, had thrown out all the votes cast Tn Precinct No. I, Douglas, creat- ed little surprise in this city. The disclos- ures regarding the manner in which the cleo ton was carried on in the first ward in that city were surprising to tie masses and one of the surprises was the testimony of Art Pearson who swore that he was designated by the democratic committee to organize the election board at the city hall. It Is to be re- gretted that MT. Pearson did not name the committee who had clothed him with all au- thority in Precinct I in the face of the fact that election officers had been named in that precinct by the board of supervisors to ho:1 the! election.
 i- The irregularities in Precinct No..I were fragrant. Non-residents served on the cleo ton board, men 1iot even entitled to lawfully vote. there, much less conduct the election; the evidence showed that liquor flowed free ly election officers were betting on the re- suits of their own count. Voters were accom- panied to the voting booths in violation of the law.
 Without regard to what result the elin- inatlOn of Douglas Precinct No. I has on the pending election contest there should be no one to ,criticise the righteous judgment of Judge Stanford who sat with much patience and heard the recital of what happened in the contested Douglas precinct.
 The decision of Judge Stanford should tend to a strcter observance of the election laws relative to the duties of election boards in the future.

The Editor of the Square Dealer at Bis bee, evidently convinced that Governor Campbell will be declared the legally elect ed Governor as a result of the pending con test suit, says in a recent issue of his paper that the followers of Ex-Governor Hunt, convinced of the prejudice of Judge Stan ford, plan to start a movement immediately looking toward the recall of Gov Campbell and further asserts that recall petitions will be filed with the Secretary of State on July I.
