The German newspapers say it
is not a question of Germany
winning the war, but how soon.
We can tell the exact date, The
Germans will win when the ocean
tides cease to ebb and flow; vic
tory will be theirs when the sun
stands still and refuses to shine;
and the Kaiser will be ruler of
the earth when not another son
of America is left able to sight a
gun or pull a trigger. When
these days come then Germany
will win the war. The doom of
Germany was sealed the day the
American eagle sailed forth to
battle for the life of democracy
against the assaults of Prussian
aristocracy, and it may take two
years or it may take twenty, but
when peace comes again Ger

The Fred Golfer boom in Nav
ajo county has struck a snag. 1t
is beginning to dawn on the re-
spectacle democrats that Golfer
has tied up with the lawless and
discredited element of the party
in the county, and with his STOOL
pigeon Greer, hopes to build up a
machine that will restore the old
gang to power. With the whiskey
ring, the gamblers, the prosti-
tutes and their friends all rally
ing to Golfer, the clean decent
element of democracy, who are
largely in the majority, are daily
slipping away to the support of
some of the other candidates.
The Winslow mail., 1918-08-09

Arizona democracy is strange
thing. So long as the newspapers
of the state support all the cop
per-owned democratic candidates
for the minor state offices, every
thing is lovely; but when certain
of the same newspapers refuse
to support a particular candidate
for governor they are branded as
the copper reptile press. Is the
Office of governor of more i'm
portance to the people of the
state than the other state officers,
or is the fight over the selection
of governor a scramble for the
loaves and fishes?
The Winslow mail., 1918-08-09

And who, pray tell, is the rep
tile press we read so much about
in the democratic papers? Is the
reptile press the newspapers
representing the brand of democ-
racy which advocates the re-
election of the present state Off
cials, but opposed to the candi-
date for Governor who has been
ordained as the rightful successor
of Governor Hunt? Is the anti
reptile press and the reptile press
in harmony on the naming of all
the. democratic state officials ex-
cept the governor? Is the anti
reptile press willing to have the
copper companies name all the
state officials except governor
without protest, but attach the
reptile brand when they want to
name the governor also? If it is
all right for the copper companies
to own the minor state officials,
is it not equally right for them
to own the governor? Why the
difference?

The Phoenix Chamber of Com
merce have passed resolutions
condemning the teaching of the
German language in any Of the
schools ofArizona, and requesting
all school boards and others in
authority to eliminate the study
as a part of the instruction. The
teaching of German was dropped
from the Winslow schools a couple
of years ago, never to be restored,
and every school should be COM
PEELED to do the same thing, even
if it requires a legislative enact
ment to enforce the rule.

There is one advantage in be-
ing a minority political party.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry,
competents and incompetents,
are not rushing in to file for an
office, with the hope they can
land some soft job, and ply their
grating proclivities for the easy
money. A minority party has to
go out and pursuade some good
man to permit the use of his
name as a patriotic duty to his
party organization, which means
the building of a ticket of good
citizens.
The Winslow mail., 1918-08-09

Tom Campbell will be the next
governor of Arizona, and it mat
ters not whom the democrats
nominate. He will be elected by
such a large majority that even a
democratic court will find no
place to hang an opinion to re-
verse the decision of the people.
There is a spirit of fair-play in
the makeup of the average Ari-
zonian that will make itself felt
on election day.
The Winslow mail., 1918-08-09

notwithstanding the predic-
tions of the democratic state
politicians on the outcome of the
scramble for the governorship,
we venture the statement that
the fight will be between w. A.
Moeur and Fred Sutter, with the
former having a shade the best
of it outside of Maricopa and
Cochise counties. If Mr.. Sutter
goes out of Cochise county with
$500 votes, Mr.. Moeur will have
to get better than 1000 votes in
Maricopa to win out.

The supreme gall of one Greer,
a carpet-bagger from Apache
county, and the political manager
of one Fred T. Golfer, in entering
the race for the nomination for
county attorney on the demo-
cratic ticket can only be account
ed for on the theory he thinks
our citizens are a lot of ignorant
hombres who need his brains and
ability, and who will be charmed
with his aStuteness and trickery.
With his political pull he man
aged to pass the bar examination
in May, and Immediately took up
his residence at Holbrook and
started campaigning for the NOM
ination for county attorney. The
only case he has had in the su-
perior court was when he was
added to the list of attorneys in
the Marlay murder case after
the jury had been sworn, and
two of the panel were relatives
of his. An attorney who will
violate the ethics of his profess
sion is hardly the kind of a man
the good people of Navajo county
want to represent them in the
office of county attorney.

Our Mineral Wealth, the news

Inc W1nSlOW Mall refuses TO
publish assaults on Gov. Hunts
patriotism because the editor
knows they are not true. While
we are anxious to see a republi-
can governor preside over the
state OF Arizona, and are always
willing to contribute our mite to
that end. let it be accomplished
by honorable and fair means.
Mr.. Hunt is shrewd politician.
and has been signally successful
in playing for the labor vote, and
they have stood behind him solid
ly all these years. 1t is only
natural he should receive letters
from all classes of people, and
perhaps some |. W. WIS are
among the number, and being a
smooth politician, he answers
each one as though they were
close intimate friends, but the
publication of these letters is no
indication that Gov. Hunt is dis
loyal or a believer in the traitor
Gus doctrines of the I. W. w.
He is playing the game the same
as a republican would do under
similar circumstances. Person
ally we would rather have Gov.
Hunt in office for another two
years than two or three of the
present candidates who are seek
ing the democratic nomination.
Gov. Hunts official record during
the years he has been in office is
clean, free from graft, and with
out a taint of official crookedness.
He has not always been right,
but he has been honest. We are
fearful the same cannot be truth
fully said of some of the present
candidates for governorship on
the democratic ticket should one
of the class be elected. The op-
portunities for graft and shady
transactions that net easy money
are great in the office of gov
.ernor, and it requires a man of
rugged honesty to withstand the
temptations. The salary of the
governor is very meagre, and a
man of extravagant habits can
not make both ends meet, and in
such cases the incumbent hesi-
tates to change his habits of liv-
ing, and takes the easier way of
grating for the additional funds
to meet his wants. 1t would be
we'll if the democrats of this
state looked into the daily life of
the candidates and study their
mode of living, and habits of
thrift, before casting a vote at
the primary.
