"OTRO TORO" OR THE MADDOX TALE.


 The Tucson Citizen, and the CoconinO Sun, of Flagstaff, republican papers, have declared wal and the editors of each sheet are having a merry time in their little editorial squabble.
 The Citizen intimates that Fred Breen, editor of The Sun, is hostile to the republican state ad ministration. Breen, on the other hand, inti- mates that The Citizen is not on the best friend. ly terms with United States Senator Ralph H Cameron.
 According to Breen's editorials, he is strong supporter of Cameron.
 The Herald suggests that these two repub- lican papers, for the good of the party, cut out their fighting and go to boosting for all repub- licans, if they are really party organs.
 Squabbling between republicans is exactly what Arizona democrats desire. It might bring about breach in the party that would hinder success at the polls next year.
 United we stand, divided we fall. Arizona democrats have found this out in the past sever. al elections. It should be lesson to republicans The republican party is in power in Arizona al the present time and has good chances of win. ming many more victories, if harmony is main. tained in the ranks.-Nogales Herald.
 The above from the Nogales Herald contains only half the true state of affairs The editor o1 The Sun was not hostile to the state administra tion the state administration made it it's busi ness to be hostile to The Sun; the state admins tTdtlO0 IIlduc lt US DuSlutSS tO Dc HOctlc OcLf ator Cameron during his fight and carried it or after he had won an election by the highest vote of any man on the republican ticket.
 The editor of The Sun merely wishes to point out that it was the rule or ruin tactics of the state administration as voiced by the Tucson Cit. izen, which brought about division in the repub- hcan party. It was the public and private at tacks on Cameron by the camp followers of the state administration which showed the venom of the petty politicians who thought they owned the state and bid fair to wreck the party. They were not looking for harmony" and wanted the whole world to know it; it was not merely the Tucson Citizen, it was the men behind it who were trying to deal political death, not only to Cameron, but to others whom they felt did not agree with their petty, selfish program of elimination.
 The editor of The Sun is fully advised as to the value of harmony as well as in going more than half way and paying for the full distance, but the time has come when the salaried bunch should realize they must evidence little of the same spirit for the good of the entire party, otherwise there will be a marked slump in the esprit de corpse, as it were.
 The Herald is wrong about our strong defense of Cameron-it was strong defense of the re publican party, of which Senator Cameron hap pens to be member, with popularity among the voters which showed much stronger than did either Gov. Campbell or his Mir. Maddock. We only regret that the party organization, an OrganlZatlOn TOT Wnlch we spent as mucn money and time as is encompassed by large number of the now self-imposed proprietors of the party, seems hopelessly divided because all their schemes did not materialze. They have no other argument and the whole thing is hinged on the demand of few cheap ward politicians who want what they want because they need the money. When the republicans who are repub- licans from principle and not for self get back into power again, there will be harmony-for they are the kind of people who believe honestly in political economy and fair dealing with the whole people. Too much money among few little humming birds often time brings out ugly warts on a noble tree. We like the United We Stand, Divided We Fall, attitude of The Herald. It shows that their heart is in the right place. But we differ with The Herald radically on their view as to what constitutes harmony. Their idea seems to be along with that of The Citizen, that any one who does not swallow Maddock with his cratic ideas of party control, is out of step with the republican pary. All of which we refuse to agree to.
 Aside from that The Sun means to wander down the great middle of the road path, along with the general old plain common people, with the American flag posted where all can see it, and damn the man who won't play square, re- gardless of his supposed political beliefs.
