Murphy of Globe, who was given the endorsement of the Tucson conference for the demc- cratic nomination for a4:orney geneT- al, arrived in the city yesterday. foi the purpose, it is said, of laying be- fore Governor Hunt the peril in which he was placing the democratic party by his announcement of his intended appearance in the primary.
 Mir Murphy, it was said, hoped to work up a pressure here that would result in the withdrawal of MT. Hun-. and it was further stated that behind the movement were such close frienu.. and political associa:es of MT. Hunt from constitutional convention days as Mulford Winsor, Senator Charles Roberts and Homer Wood.
 Though ali these gentlemen profess still to believe in the sacredness of the direct primary. they are said t1 be of the opinion that any man who attempts to make use Of the primary as opposed to the Tucson conference is not a good democrat.-Arizona Republican.

ARIZONA BAD MAN
 GETS IN TROUBLE
 RESULT OF BOAST

PHOENIX, June 15-When Emmett McDaniels confided to his cowboy pals oyer on the Las Cruces New Mexico, range that he was an hon est-to-Agnes bad man from Arizona little did he realize that his bragga- docia would lead him back to his old home behind the gray walls of the state prison.
 In an attempt to prove his degree Of degradation, it seems, Emmett told how he had been sent up from Cochise county to serve from one to six years on 9 grand larceny convic- tion, how on October 30, 1919, he had escaped from the prison farm near lFlorence, and how ever since he had enjoyed wild freedom. Unfortunately some of Emmett's companions squealed to the range boss, who told the deputy sheriff, who reported the matter to Warden Rynning of the Arizona state prison.
 All of which accounts for the fact that Emmett IS back behind the bars to serve out his frlI time A report on the capture was received today by Burt Winger, secretary of the 1 board of directors Of state institu- tionS.

ARIZONA NEEDS OUTLET TO
 COAST AND CHEAPER POWER

The Engineering and Mining Jour- nal Press prints the following:
 The states in the east have long since had the advantage of being able to use cheap imported labor This has been q vital factor in de- ftermining the suitability of location for industrial plants. The western states have benefited from no such advantage; but now that immigra- zion is being restricted there is no reason why mining shoulQ not be accompanied by fabrication, so that a proportion at least of the products of the southwes: can be manufactur- ed in saleable form at or near their place of origin Arizona is respon sible for nearly half of the total pro duction of copper in the United Sta .es. The time is approaching when it will be realized that tho only sane policy Is the development of local fabricating industries. Ari zona needs cheap power; that will come from the Colorado river as soon as practicable, for Mir. Hoover is at the helm as chairman of the federal commission. Arizona also proposed route from AjO, which is the censer of one of the largest de posits of copper ore in the country, to the Gulf of California has many ad- vantages; it has been surveyed ani concession has been granted. The distance Is only 97 miles, and the cos: of the undertaking has been es- timated at under s3,000,000."

RED METAL. DEMAND
 INCREASE; PRICE WILL SOON BE 15c

The wall Stree. Journal has the following to say of the copper out look:
 Consumption of copper continues to gain, and producers are not over ly anxious to sell a. IA cents a pound for flS.ure delivery. In the copper trade it is believed it will not be many weeks before copper is selling around 15 cents a pound. Surplus continues to decline, and it will be months be- fore the copper industrial will be able 30 reach normal production. Labor in the copper districts is scarce, and it requires a long time to bring a cop per mine up to normal after pro longed period of idleness''

ent of industry, peace and plenty misery.
 Above the din of strife the cry was heard that patriotism in America. longer lived: that in this nation. grown to be the giant of the west ern world, the traditions of our fathers were forgotten.
 It was said that love of self had supplanted love of country and that our nobler emotions had been throt, tied by avarice and greed
 How little did our defamers know the folly of their words
 "They saw this nation turn from it's pursuits of peace and happiness and become, as if by magic, the most .forbidding power that ever cham pioned freedoms cause.
 ''They saw 100000 men go forth to save continent from intolerance and oppression
 American patriotism is not dead nor will it ever die so long as men love liberty.
 ITO save us from the inhumanity of monarchial oppression the ragged Continentals fought and fell and pa triots and sages laid deep and strong 1 the institutions of the free.
 Even in state of tranquility wealth and luxury the arts of wal arc not forR gotten, nor the noble ac .tivity and zeal which made our an l cestors invincible.
 ''As the dearest traditions of oul flag are those ascrIDed to deeds O valor on Ibe field of battle, let Il: not forget those who served it there
