 Cordray and Roberts present nifty musical act. Both members or rhe team have splendid voices and a bit of set ting entirely out of the ordinary for a singing act and adds much to the pleasure.
 Harry and Etta Con1ey offer some unusual vocal selections The scenic effect in this act is also good.
 The Hardy brothers have novelty hat throwing act which made hit at performances last night.
 The Kaufman brothers are great comedians. The best part of their act is their limitations of the previous acts on the bill.

At Loew's Bijou

An entertainment of rare enjoyment is the offering at Ioew's Bijou for today and tomorrow and the bill as whole ranks among the best shown on the local stage The vaudeville acts and feature pictures are of genuine merit, but not the least entertaining by any means is Loew's News weekly, the most up-to-the minute and only exclusive news service shown in the city.
 Senator Francis Murphy the headline feature, scores a hit with a quaintly humorous dialect monologue. Ben and Hazel Mann run the senator a close race for the high honors with clever singing and nut comedy act of much originality Franze Bunce and Harding a trio of young men with good voices a good idea of comedy and full knowl- edge of putting over their act neatly La Belle Cameron and company in a nov city acrobatic, wire-walking act, witt some boomerang throwing added, were g most excellent opener.
 The management is justly proud of the excellence of the picture service that has been provided the patrons of the Bijou o1 picture plays have been given extravagani praise, It would seem each succeeding feature outdoes the other. The picture play on this programme is no exception to the rule, for more interesting picture than "The Little Duchess with daint, Madge Evans in the leading role, car hardly be imagined. News weekly anc new comedies complete the bill.

AN OLD DISPENSATION REITERATED

Christmas day the rightfully and legally elected
governor of Arizona Hon. George w. P Hunt, was re-
nducted into the office where he had served the people
so WE'LL of which he had been defrauded some ten months
through the Vaccinations Of lot alleged democrats
who are democrats only when they control demo
cratic administrations and legislatures to meet their own
selfish ends. That is all there is to that.
With reinduction of the rghtful occupant OF the
executive chair there has arisen from the chckaadee
press (those newspapers which exist through crumbs
from the tables of the mining corporatons dire ana
sndry forebodngs for the state under the adminstra
ttn of man alleged in league with the l. w. W., and
kindred anarchistc influences.
Now, as this newspaper views situations and condl-
TONS Governor Hunt has not affiliated with the w. w.
particularly but he has insisted that the great mining
corporations shall conduct their operations and great
their employees so the latter may live free, American
citizens and raise and daughters fitted to dis
charge the duties of citizenship and living like rational
human beings That is the head and front Of the Of
Tending of Governor Hunt
Governor Hunt has insisted that the great mining
corporations which have built up colossal fortunes for
their residing in other states shall conduct their
affairs in Arizona and treat their employees so they shall
state and parayzng business by forcing them to strikes
or resortng to lockouts to reduce them subiecon
Governor Hunt has insisted that the great mining
corporations enrchng other states with fat dividends
and leaving little here in Arizona, shall treat their

The troubles in the mining camps last July due
to just that very condition of affairs in the management
Of the big mines against which Governor Hunt has set
his face That condition made necessary almost the de-

approved those deportaons laying at the time the
responsibility where it belongs by right.
