The views Of 1900 Irish Americans
who roared for ireland and twisted the
lions tail mildly in Madison Square
Garden last night were put into reso-
lutions which will be sent to President
Wilson and the Senate Committee on
Foreign Affairs. II IL asked that the
Irish be included in the list Of self-de-
terminins peoples. The resolutions
end thus:
we respectfully but earnestly urge
that our President declare at the peace
conference that the people Of Ireland
should as a matter Of right and Justice
be governed only in accordance with
their consent, and that the will OF the
majority, ascertained by plehiscite Of
the adult population. be accepted as
the sovereign win OF the people instead
of The present foreign rule by force"

Elect Him On His Merits Alone

THE announcement Of the Republican state convention at
Douglas Arzy urging upon the voters of Arizona the
wisdom OF electng as governor Thomas E Campbell the
Republican candidate Is faulty IN respect It lays too
much stress the alleged duty Of Arizona citizens to elect
M Campbell as measure Of justice in of the fact
that after having been given certificate of election to the

Pnses and those Of governor Hunt who contested the
ton and also because the salary which be earned while
governor was given to governor Hunt.
While there IS no question that governor Campbell was
subjected to unusual financial burdens and while It Is
probably fact that most Arzonans would have been bet
ter pleased had each candidate borne his own contest m
penSe and while governor Campbell surely entitled
the salary he earned during his incumbency those facts
should not be made the chief issue Of his campaign Prob
