Political Gossip

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 31-That Tom Campbell win be elected governor of Arizona by a majority of 5000 is the prediction of Judge Albert M. Samess ! republican state chairman, who has just returned from a tour which took him into every county in Arizona. Judge Sames found that in every coun- ty the old Hunt and anti-Hunt lines have been closely drawn and that it is generally understood that Fred Colter is the Hunt candidate. Judge Sames believes that 75OO democrats in Arizo- ma will vote for Tom Campbell this year because they believe he was counted out when justly elected and because of their desire to smash the Hunt machine.
 Win Carry Coehise
 Judge Sames who lives at Doug las, predicts that Tom Campbell will carry Cochise county and that he will get a larger majority in Maricopa county than he received two years ago when that county went over the top with 3494. He also believes that Colter will lose his home county of Apache.
 Here is the way Judge Saues has figured it out from personal observa- tion in each county:

THE FLU

When your back is broke and your
 eyes are blurred, And your shin bones knock and your
 tongue is furred. And your tonsils squeak and your hair
 sets dry, And you're doggone sure that you're
 going to die. But you're skeered you won't and
 afraid you will, Just drag to bed and have your chill, And pray the Lord to see you through, For you've got the Flu, boy.
 You've got the Flu. When your toes curl up and your belt
 goes flat. And you're twice as mean as a
 Thomas cat, And life is a long and dismal curse. And your food all tastes like a hard
 boiled hearse; When your lattice aches and your
 heads a-buzz, And nothing is as it ever was. Here are my sad regrets to you You've got the Flu. boy,
 You've got the Flu. What is it like, this Spanish Flu? Ask me brother, for I've been through. It is by Misery out of Despair; It pulls your teeth and curls your
 hair; It thins your blood and brays your
 bones, And fills your craw with moans and
 grOans, And sometimes. maybe, you get well. Some call it Flu call it he'll By J. P. McEvoy, in Chicago

A CHURCHMAN'S
 ZEAL AND ARDOUR

The day the kaiseT's request for an armistice yves received a member an nounced the fact in the Methodist con ference in Los Angeles, and added the remark. "Is it not glorious?" Like a flash the bishop was on his feet and exclaimed, It is perilous!" The con ference responded with a roar of api plause with hand and voice. The bishop continued amidst continuous applause: We are in danger of los- ing all for which we have been fight ing. We are fighting for peace, based on righteousness and founded on the eternal principles and ideals of the democracy of Jesus Christ Any other ground of peace imperils all the sacri- fices of men and money we have made" He held the lapel of his coat with a service pin with two stars and continuing, said: You and I have given our boys and God only knows what 1t means to me, but rather than have a peace which will not be endur ing and world wide, we shall complete our sacrifice. Hear what Isaiah the Prophet says: The wicked are like the troublOus sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt That is what the kaiser offers now. The fruit of righteousness shall be peace and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever

The first germ having been sown, : brood Of notes are now Propagated and fly on their own wings from Germany to these shores Austria, too, Is sending them. Let us pray that the next and only reply to all these Prussian subterfuges be pro- nounced by Foch himself, in the terms and details of the surrender. It is certain that Foch will demand Metz and Strassburg on the south and most likely Coblenz and Co logne on the north, and certainly Heligo- land, and the surrender, as well as the with drawal of certain ships and armies. And woe to the allied civil leaders or the even disagree with those terms of Foch. The allied commander in chief must not be interfered with or his power curtailed in the least by the political leaders in the matter of the armistice Germany Is sure to whine and appeal to Wilson for more just and merciful terms But the world knows that when this same German stood before Paris he insisted on complete surrender, and then he would not grant peace until France had given up Alsace and Lorraine and billion in indemnity and allowed German troops to parade in triumph through Paris. If Foch wishes to tear page from von Molkes notebook and insist upon an allied parade through the Brandenburg gate into Berlin, can any German, with his own ex- ample of S70 before him on history page make any logical or honest objection or plead extenuating circumstances or lack ot precedent

In the test. the eight primer pal war measures, from the McLemore resolution to the Kahn amendment to the conscription act, are 10 cut con spicuous figures.

France remembers only too we'll the con ditions imposed by Germany when her vic torious legions surrounded Paris and de manded the surrender of the French arm- ies in 1870, and France will insist upon these same conditions now for Berlin. It is true that the allies have not yet surrounded Berlin, but patience. Wait little while and we shall see the Tommies and the Poilu and the Tanks before the Brandenburg gate.

Germany has always practiced a most glad and glorious frankness with her allies. For instance, when the French penetrated into Bulgaria they found plenty of intelligent Bulgarian officers and civilians who in- sisted that Paris had been taken by the Hun and that London was in state of seize. They were positive, these Bulgarians, that Germany had never lost a battle in the west; they had the assurance of the Ger man imperial government for it.
