Some people, reverting back to the de- cision in the Hunt-Campbel contest case, seem to think that the state supreme court will sustain Colter in any event. But this is by no means foregone conclusion. Passing on an election contest is often doubtful and puzzling problem. There are many sides to it and many angles to con slider. But passing on plain and powerful article of law Is different matter The in- tent of the section barring Golfer is too plain. Golfers disqualification under this section cannot be questioned or disputed. There is no loophole in the law or the evi- dence and there Is no chance to quibble In the language of the southwest it is dead open and shut proposition. No one who knows Golfer expects him to step down and out. His party success or failure will not weigh with him. But party leaders and managers will have to bear the responsibil- ity for party failure in the event they do not force him to give way. Not even Golfer will be allowed to violate that God given instrument, the Arizona constitution, which he himself helped to fashion and to finish Verify, the tribulations and trials of politician are not few, but rather they are as the sands on the seashore.

A reader of the Review and miner of the Warren district writes to the editor to take exception to the Sunday editorial in this paper urging more industry and CO., operation and less politics and Partisanship. This subscriber declares that the triumph of the Hunt machine in the recent democratic primary was the result of the bitter ard partisan attacks of the most honorable gov ernor' enemies. This subscriber was cour- ageous enough to sign his name to his let ter What pity that he is not also fair enough to admit that his idol, the mosC honorable Governor Hunt, is the most bit ter the most partisan and the most narrow figure in all Arizona politics. This column wrote that Sunday editorial in per feet good faith. It is sorry to note than any subscriber should view it from the bitter angle of the writer referred to above. Surely the working man, especially the property owner, and his family suffer as much from feud that abstracts com munity and hampers its growth and blocks its prosperity as does an employer or a newspaper man. This column still holds that 1t is less of crime to be anti-t1unt than it is to be anti-Bisbee, and therein lay both the motive and the purpose of that Sunday editorial.

The Greatest DriUe Of the WGr

That St. Mihiel affair was a brilliant piece of strategy and prowess on the part of the U. s. A. but with all its speed and its success 1t pales beside the exploit of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing in cutting off the salient that the Central Powers thrust out towards the allies in the form of peace proposal.
 ak about counter attacks. Nothing Tn the Great War can approach the speed, smash, power and purpose of Wilson's re- ply to perfidous Austria.
 And in its consequences. in its far reach ing effects and in its bearing upon the war itself, this dazzling diplomacy is the most important event of the history of these times How that quick, short, stern, un- compromising reply must have thrilled the allied armies all along the linel How it must have thrilled the people of the allied nationsl What blow to traitors and paci- fists and pifflers and propagandists
 Foch's gunfire the past eight weeks has made Berlin tremble with apprehension, but Wilson's word on the peace bait has made Berlin shudder with despair.
 The greatest thing about the reply was not in its wording, fine and final as is its text, but in its promptness. Every hour of hesitation weakens reply of this kind. But here was no hesitation at all. It came back at the plotters and pirates and per jurers like a bayonet and tank attack at dawn. No artillery preparation=here. Just sudden lunge in an early morning light as cold and as gray and as raw as the steel of a sabre bayonet carried forward by the tempest of nation wrath.
 Mark it well The speed and spirit of this allied reply to Gernan-Austrian lure was worth a great victory on the battle field. It will prove to be harder blow at Teutonic morale than St Mihiel.
 The boche has broken the camel's back with million pounds of last straws of ruthlessness, perfidy and dishonor and for him there is no peace short of disaster or surrender He has himself barred the ne gotiation route for ever Brest-Litovsk haunts him still. Belgium blood cries from the ground. He cannot hide those writh> ing shapes of Serbia and Rumania. The rattling of skeleton bones in his closet sounds louder than the thunder of all his guns. The allied civil front stands shoul- der to shoulder with the allied military front and not until the portals of the Branden- burg gates have been reached will fair faced gentle Peace lift her shamed head and streaming eyes to greet the glory of real dawn.

If strong and heavily armed man came to your house and killed your children and stole your furniture and wrecked your house and destroyed your yard and griev- ously wounded you and committed numer- ous other depredations too horrible to men ton, and all unprovoked on your part, and then when you rallied and began to get the better of him in a fight, he should say Let's quit; 1 will go away now and take my plunder with me; forget it, and lets be friends again, what would you do? That is exactly what Germany wants now when she whines for peace under the allied blows. No bully since the world was made ever was game and clean strain He wits quickly under punishment No cruel man was ever truly brave It takes great and high spirit to carry the body and hold to the purpose under diversity. France has done it, and so has England and Belgium and Serbia. But the Prussian is of different stripe and kidney.

You have often heard the expression about a man signing his own death war rant. The case of Golfers disqualification by law from running for governor this year is one of the strongest cases in point that has ever come under the direct observation of this column. Golfer, it will be remem- bered, was member of the state consti- tutional convention that adopted article iv of the constitution that now bars him from the office of his ambition

Funny thing about the defeat of Judge Franklin of the supreme court for renomi- nation. That court decision unseating Campbell did it. A lot of plain, simple plug voters still think that Campbell was elected governor in l9l6 And yet the Hunt machine that nominated Golfer was the chief gainer by Franklin's decision. But politicians as we'll as republics are often un- grateful, and the Hunt machine concen~ tratcd on Golfer and left Franklin to shift for himself
