A REPUBLICAN YEAR?"

Cox and Roosevelt-it is a combination to fill with dismay those lous-eating Republicans who have hypno tized themselves by repeating and again This is Republican year. Did you eyer stop to think. reader. the meaning of that ncton-'ThS is a Repub ycar! It means, to those who cling it. that this year Americans will not vote discriminatory and that therefore any candidate who pledges a chamge-cvcn change back to old days of invisible government and boss rule and sectional tariffs and port pot pes-wl be cleo ted. This Is the whole psychology of the nomination of Harding. No knew better than the tcago auction eerSthe powerful close corporation of Old Guard po ticians-that Harding the popular choice and would not be popular candidate but they reasoned that since the people for anybody that bore Republican label. they might well get what they wanted So they nominated the of they wanted and wrote they reasoned they discontened and dsgsted and dsgrunted is the time to bring back the good old days.
 Of such psychology born the phrase This is Republican year. There Is basis for it than for any soothsayer's prediction Ii is predicted upon the false belief that the American people going take years vacation from thinking for themselves and be hvcd like bees by the ringing of bells and the of smudge pots. Putting it bluny. the Republicans base their expectations of winning upon teir ability to aaes thetiZe the public consciousness.
 1t is insulting estimate of the intelligence of the American people It smacks of the concmptuous state ment of the father of the Republican partyAeXander Hamilton contemporary of Jefferson the father of the Democratic party. Hamilton and Jefferson guests banquet and Jefferson had responded to the toast "The People, Flushed with wine.

GIVE THE WEST A CHANGE

The water power bill passed by congress and signed by the president wonderful changes in the western industries.
 It means that five ranscOntnental railroads would passenger and freight trains greater speed and less expense
 It would mean building great factories in all western and saving the haul material east and ufactured goods west
 It would mean cheaper power for farmers and fruit growers with which to put water arid lands scale that is impossible.
 But all these great possibilities for the west depend on the interpretation of the law by the national comms- sion that executes the law
 The rules and regulation that adopted to put into operation the practical details of the water pow CT law should be plain and simple and not difficult to comply with.

ARIZONA SENATOR
 FAVORS DUTY ON IMPORTED MEATS

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz, July 9.-In an address before the joint convention Of ;he Arizona Wool Growers asso- citation and the Arizona Cattle Grow. CTS association in session here yes terday and today Senator Mark A. Smith, of Arizona. said if the federal reserve hoard continued it's policy Of allowing the sale Of imported meats he would favor earnestly any sort of duty on imports of that kind to pro- tect the livestock industry in this country.
 Senator Smith criticized those who. he said, were seeking to burden tho s;ockmen by trying to get greater revenues from government lands.
 He declared the Arizona forests do not belong to the citizens of Maine and California"
 Any surplus revenues from public lands within state should go to the states treasury, the senator asserted
 He defended the federal reserve board. declaring its original purpose in recalling loans was legitimate and proper in that the act was directed against spectators and hoarders. He added. however, that it should not have been extended to the original producer.
 l. would be an uphill fight to get national legislation to benefit western livestock interests. Senator Smith said because of lack of understanding and sympathy among eastern mem. bers Of the congress and the people generally F.. S. Crabb. president of the Arizona Cattlemen, scored con. gres for the increase in the grazing fee. the state tax commission for in. creased valuations and the state land board for circulation Of state land leases. T. F. Holde. president of the Lusayan Cattle association. seconded Crabb's views.
 Charles F. Mullen, president of the Arizona Cattle Growers association said that cattle and sheep men. long mired by dissension, had now begun to realize their interests were identi- cal.

JAMES MIDDLETON cox

Breaking deadlock that threatened to throw the Democratic nomination for president of the United State into the hands of someone who could neither n spire his friends fghten his foes. James Middleton Cox three times governor of the great state of Ohio chosen the standard bearer of Democracy in 1920 By
 that act he chosen the president of the Uni ted States.
 Politically the nomination of Governor Cox assures his election One of the few Democrats in the nation Islategicay situated from geographical standpoint, the nominee presents to the American public of those things which could negative him and offers every nduccment to the voter that the sangune partisan Icould desire Subscribing to the tenets of Woodrow Wilson. in large part, James M Cox will follow them the point that present chief executive has done Some said of another candidate for the nomination that he would fit into Wilson's shoes without rattng. We be- leve that Cox will fill them ably and will reverse those procvcs of the Wilson shoes that made parts of his administration objectionable to many Democrats. Cox is hero worshipper but he possessed of that intelligence that culls needed and valuable aid from the records of great For Cox is great himself
 Cox has been follower. His record has been of leadership In that he stands head and shoulders above his Republican opponent Cox has made history in Ohio The only governor to be return ed to office three times since the of Rutherford B. Hayes the Ohio governor his diligently sought peace and progress for his great state.
 His record is of brilliant achievement. With the best tradition of the nation behind him. born on form a sefmad man. successful business in the high est of the term and an accomplished executive Governor Cox before the voters with more pOss bes than any candidate in many years. His admin istatons in Ohio have been fraught with difficulties Yet he has been proclaimed the most sugstanta and progressive executive that commonwealth has enjoyed since the time of Judson Harmon He has not tIuckled to any class and has been neither tyrant serf.
 Cox may expect, and will receive the unqualified support of every Democrat in the country No cand- dates of the party since 1SS when Cleveland was first nominated, expect much from all true believers i'll the principles of Thomas Jefferson the present standard bearer His fight in the convention has left sore spots, evident in 1912 His record brings him the support of the conservative Democrats of the tire nation The same record him the support of all those who work with their hands, He IS liberal enough that those people who believe in first principles will rally to his standard
 The faith of the men and women of the United States who have loved the principles of the Democratic party pledged Cox They see, more, the rising tide of the country in support of the basic fundamentals and they see in James Middleton Cox the man to carry those principles successfully to the polls and to the pres idential chair.-Review.

TRUTH IS ENOUGH

All the southwest needs by way of publicity is DOT trayal of the exact truth Arizona knows this and is sending broadcast photographs of roads being built in that state of concrete bridges and of beautiful places to go. The Cochise county highway commission for in stance has done of the best work roads in the state's history What that work is be well as read about in the report just published.
 Skies are wonderful, and we have the bluest but do not live yet travel in the sky We should overlook opportunity to show people, we'll tell them that have beautiful scenery, mountains yons blue skies, and brilliant stars at night. But should also tell about roads, crops metals trade livestock and manufactures splendidy built cities and our play places.

ADDING PEP TO THE CAMPAIGN

That the campaign between Cox and Harding will be of intensely interesting nature is the fact that both OhOans, native born, raised from the lOwly pos tOn of newspapelmen and actively engaged in the publication of daily newspapers that Cox has served and is serving his third term governor, that Harding has been lieutenant governor and is United state senator that both are classed "safe and sane, 'and that they both have practically the same views the League of Nations and with the election of rights of the United States fully reserved"
 Both men have had congressional experience, also With those characteristics of each candidate similar it is wonder that Ohio will be the most campaigned state in the Unon and will be battle-ground royal So let the best win and right and here the Pros pector picks Cox the best man, with the dance

Makes no difference how good your aim if you have no ammunition.
 There are more foolish people in New York than here because New York is bigger.
