 Upon this line the Democrats fought their battle. It is useless. perhaps, to go undertaking into the past to tell of these scandals in particular; let it suf- flee to say that neither before nor since in the history of the country has the .aint of graft been so noisome at the ,ieat of the federal government.
 Tie Democrats nominated Samuel J. Tndsn for president after a sharp but unequal contest in which Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana was his leading opponent Hendricks was named for vice president.

XIV. tHE HAYEs-TlLDEN RACE
 OF 13z6
RN Erederic J. Haskin


 wASHINGTON, D. c. oct. 14-With the inauguration of Rutherford B. Hayes as president of the United States in 1877 the II years reign of terror in the southern states came to an end Violent anarchy, supported by bayonets of the United States troops, and utter defiance of law by the gov ernment at Washington, Drought MT. Hayes to the presidency. Be it said to his everlasting credit that he did de- spise the bridge that carried him over and that he restored free government in the states of the South.
 The Hayes inauguration marked the end of the most furiously fought politi- cal and politico- legal contest this country has ever seen. To begin with, only II years had elapsed since the end of the Civil war, and the democratic party was accused by every Republican orator of a desire to restore the deea Confederacy. Against this charge the Democrats pleaded their loyalty to the flag and sent Democratic Union gen. erals over the country spellbinding. Fires of partisanship burned fiercely and while they added to the heat of the campaign, other factors decided its outcome.
 The panic of 1873 had plunged the ' 1 business depression such as it had not known before. Jay Gould was teach | ing Wall street some tricks that have not been wholly forgotten. The diff derence in value between the green back and the gold dollar was the basis of the widest speculation, in which the common people" in variably got the worst end of the bargain. These bus 1 mess conditions caused the people to want a change for the sake Of a change The Tilden democracy promised the resumption of specie payments and an end to business distress.
 The scandals of the Grant admins tration, which had resulted in the Greeley defection Of 1872, had in- | creased instead of diminished.

To the Editor:
 I would appreciate saying a wort concerning Miss Elsie Toles, who is the candidate on the Republican ticket for state superintendent of schools.
 I was a resident of Bisbee in 1907- 1909. My children attended the Bis bee schools. Two of them were in Miss Toles room. During the two years ] got we'll acquainted with Miss Toles
 Nothing new is being said to those who know Miss Toles when I say that even that far back Miss Toles was one of the best teachers in the Bisbee schools. I feel quite sure that MT. Philbrook will bear out this statement.
 It is one thing to hear the class re- cit and ask qustions, but it is quit 8 different thing to teach in such a way that the pupil is getting it and with it getting a vision of life. As l think of Miss Toles I am glad to testify that she is a real teacher. She is sincere, studious, optimistic, inspirational, gem erous charitable. kind and always IS ready 10 help anyone who comes.
 I have met Miss Toles from time to time during the last tean years and I feel safe in declaring that few teachers have made the progress that she has.
 Miss Toles has made a study of edu- cation because she loves the task and l because she has a vision of what can be accomplished by perseverance, and | intelligence.
 As to character and high ideals and nobility of life, cannot speak too enl- phatically. No apology or defense VIII ever be needed for Miss Tolles.
 It is my opinion that the majority of parents want this kind of leader for the schools of Arizona. The only way to get her Is to vote for her and get some one else to vote for her.

Where the People
 May Have a Hearing
Not a Partisan Iasue

To the Editor of The Republican:
 It Is regrettable that MT. George Purdy Builslrd in published inter. view has miide the statement that the charges preferred my me against FL mer Coker, Judge Mccall and Him Murphy are political propaganda be- cause he isi attorney for the accused and the public press is not the place to try case, as MT. Bullard well knows.
 Because of Mir. Bullards prominence as speaker in this campaign and the general terror of his public utterances, the natural inference to be drawn is that this is Republican propaganda and calculated to injure the chances of the Democratic candidates in this cam paign. New, it so happens that I am a Democrat and yield to no man, much less to Mi. Bullard, in my loyalty to the Democratic party.
 Democrats and Republicans alike voted for house bill SO and if my mem ory serves me correctly the Maricopa Republican members voted almost sol idly for it.
 In public and in private | have criti- cised Governor Campbell for not veto- ing the bill, and I still maintain that attitude
 This is emphaticalIy not a partisan issue. What then? It is an effort on the part of private citizens Gas op- posed to professional politicians on both sides) to prevent special interests from getting their clutches on the lands that the federal government gave to Arizona to support her schools.

Watch the G.. q. =. Claims.

The Republicans are boistcrously claim
| ing the election Of Senator Harding,
even though they realize in truth, that
their campaign cake is dough. Up TO date
they have claimed every State but three
or four. II is recalled that Chairman Hays
has broken the solid South-or says he
haN -but hasn't the smallest show OF
eleoting Republican elcctor in n single
State, below the Mason and Dixon line.
Naturally, too, he has pre-emptcd every
Northern State, but possibly outside OF
| Pennsylvania he has not one common
wealth that is absolutely sure for the
| G.. o. z.
During the few remaining days Of the
campaign the party claims will increase
until, perhaps, the Democrats will seem to
have nothing left for Cox. However, we
can look back four years, and If we turn to
the newspaper files we will find the pre-
dictions Of Hughes election fill half the
reading space of the Republican publica-
tions
In this city we all remember how the
, rank and file of the G.. o. y. voters had
been taken in by their own false propa-
ganda The party workers had saturated
themselves with the assurances of victory,
and IL is reported the Negro voters IN

THE FIGHTING TWINS.

Vice-Presdential candidates are gen
orally selected for the sake Of contrast
with their principals, on the theory that
the lesser may supplement the greater
may attract those to whom the Presl-
dental nominee does not appeal so
strongly There is something OF this
contrast between Harding and Coolidge
"A negative pole and more positive
pole But the Democratic convention
did not proceed on this principle this
year Whatever else may be said about
them, it will he admitted even by the
Republicans, that the Democrats at San
Francisco picked out two exceedingly
live wires in Cox and Roosevelt and
that the latter is just as full of life AS
che former.
Franklin D. Roosevelt mas shown all

maverick that has wandered away
from the herd it is clear that he has
the sharp family horns and the family
courage He doesn wait for the other
fellow to hit first, and he carries the
war into the enemy's country. His red
blooded enthusiasm and his clear state
ment of the issues Of the campaign fired
the Democratic heart Of Baltimore and
strengthened still further the spirit and
assurance OF victory. Mr.. Roosevelt will

was first stricken down, year ago, and
during the weeks when he hung between
