Races for State
 Offices Promise to
 Prove Interesting

Little Rock, Dec. 6.-The longing
 of the old-time politician for a re-
 opening of the political game is
 about to be gratified. The smoul-
 dering embers cannot much longer
 resist breaking into blaze that will
 sweep the state. Whether the com mon people, the great class of poli- tical non-consumers who are relied
 upon to pull chestnuts out of the fire,
 will respond as enthusiastically as in
 seen.
 Out of the confusion of candidator- ial gossip there is sure to come some thing definite soon after the first of the year. Even that will give eight months for the running, long enough to wind the quarter horses, and es- tablish the staying qualities of those who are better fitted to stay in the race.
 At the present time, it appears that the races for United States senator, governor, auditor, secretary of state, and several members of con gress, will furnish the chief diver sion. There may be other contests, but they are not developing so far.
 It is doubtful if the old conditions are ever revived, for politics of the old school is no longer so popular as it once was, for the reason, if for no other, that the people are better en- ployed in their business interests.
 They are not likely to forget that their business interests are deeply concerned in the personnel of their public officials and in the adoption of safe and sane policies, but they will not make politics their chief end and aim for months and months, and per init political rancor and personal pre- judices to run riot. It is believed that sanity will rule more than ever be- fore in the selection of public off cials.
 There has never been a time in the history of the state when all classes and conditions of people have been so engrossed in the prosecution of their ! own affairs, and the making of mon- ey. Business was never better, nor trade more lucrative in all lines, as now, whether because of or despite | the high cost of everything is not | known, and can be only a matter of surmise
 There was a gathering of some of the war-horses in Little Rock last week. The two outstanding figures of the approaching struggle for poli- tical supremacy were U. s. Senator w. F. Kirby, who is candidate for reelection, and Congressman T. H. Caraway, who aspires to succeed him. This promises to be a battle of the giants. reminding us of the days of Clarke and Jones' Both men are wig orous campaigners, effective stump speakers, and each has strong fol- lowing. They spent few days in Little Rock meeting with political friends and advisers, and projecting their campaigns for the ensuing year. The withdrawal of Governor Brougn from this contest greatly simplifies it, and it is safe to predict that there will be no. other entry. All will be

content to stand aside and watch the scrap, and shout from the sidelines In the words of an old Little Rock baseball fan, "Oh, it's pretty fight"
 Smead Powell of Camden, who has been for several weeks been mention ed as gubernatorial possibility, spent few days in the city going over the situation with friends. Some of those closest to him say that he will get into the race, which will greatly complicate it. From positive statements being made by those who

The minister of justice is examining the claims of the justices of the peace and will give his decision after he has disposed in consultation with the minister of labor of the various strikes now in progress.

FROM A RICH REGION

Elsewhere mention is made of the
return from Pinal county of Doctor
&c. Howard Davis, the nose, throat,
ear and eye specialist, who makes
his home in the county named,
where he has heavy landed interests,
in the Casa Grande country-the
cotton growing region.
Doctor Davis is also a member Of
the board of supervisors of Pinal
county; and he found that the work
of the board of equalization this
year reached remarkable proportions;
with so much that was new to put
upon the assessment rolls, and
so much that was already there that
had been expanded by improvements
that the board was In session from
9 o'clock in the morning until near
midnight each day for fifteen days,
before completing the work.
DR.. Davis informed THE OASIS
that improvements in the Case
Grande valley are reaching stupend
Gus proportions. New pumping
plants for irrigation, with bitches and
to convey the water to the
land, have caused investment of
hundreds of thousands of dollars;
and they have made richly pro-
ductive thousands of acres of de-
sert land.
