RECOMMENDATION FOR PARTY CONFERENCE

RECOMMENDATION FOR PARTY CONFERENCE
 Major Geo. H. Kelly. Democratic editor and closely conversant with the political situation offers the following suggestion Cochsc county Democrats thru his editorial columns of last Saturday He says:
 Yesterday this paper carried the outline of the omnendation which has been made by the Demo- cratic committee for party conference m both the state and various counties this for the purpose of giving organization endorsement to candidates in the Demo cratic primary election to be held in the month of Sep ember next. Since the meeting of the state committee held January ninth of this year. when in addition o the committee there was large gathering of Democrats. representing every county in the state there has been attempt made by the Republican newspapers of the to give out the impression that the Democrats deavorn stifle the prvsions the primary election law Nothing of the kind has been undertaken either by the conference held in Phoenix or bv the committee I
 the conference all the speakers talked from the standpoint that the primary election law could neither be ignored its provisions avoided However there strong senti ment expressed by the attending Democrats that there need of agreement of representatives of the party to who would be the desirable and ctfci ent candidate and officer should the Democratic candi dates win success in November
 Following the conclusions reached i'll Phoenix last month the Democratic state committee has outlined the plan of procedure in providing both state and county conferences. These recommendations to the county committees and the county committees will have the duty resting them to carry out the recommendations. While there is nothing indicated by the state committee about county committees meeting for the consideration of the conference recommendations of the opinion that this would be the proper procedure in the very f tlre If we are to follow the plan outlined by the committee this should be made known without much de lay, there should be ample time after the county mttee has reached it's conclusion for all those intending to become candidates to make up their minds to whether they will submit 10 the recommendations of the county conference whether they will enter the primary campaign regardless of what party conference might do in the matter of endorsement It will be for the county committee to decide what course will he pursued III this county.
 Since the state conference in January there has been opposition expressed the of Democrats and it may be that all would not participate in the meetings arranged for the choosing of delegates to the state or county conferences but doubt there will be sufficient acquescence in the proposed plan to provide counsel According to the representation suggested by the state conference the county conference in this county would be composed of fiftyegh delegates from each voting precinct in the county Douglas having ten election pre- cncts would be entitled to ten delegates Bisbee would have six delegates; Lowell hree and Warren one and the county. The of the conference wonld controlled by the rural precincts of the county were they all represented.
 Cochse county would be entitled to send twentytwo delegates the state conferences alernates would be pointed for each of these delegates with privilege of rep resenng their senors if absent, but proxies would be recognized, take it, either in the state of county conferences.
 The meeting of Democrats from all sections of the state in January truly representative body in which included Democrats of every character radical con servave who, in the past have been widely apart party policies but the fact that what accomplished was brought about without single objection being offer ed to the plan reflection of the earnetness of all present for party in this state this fa and de- sire the part of all to join in campaign that would win in November.
 take the lead in this matter and when the county pre- cnct committeeman called together hope that the matter of the proposed conferences will be from the standpoint of desire to win in this county The Daily International will not undertake to point out any certain road be followed in this county but will be content to give support to Democratic candidates when they are named in the primary election The Democrats been divided in the past and result Republicans have been able to the election but we believe that the results of the Republican administration in this state should be alone sufficient to united action the part of Democrats this year.
