The defeat of McAdoo for the democratic nomi-
nation seems to have healed up leaving a scar not
much larger than Grand Canyon in the democrat
lc party. McAdoo was SO well pleased with Davis
and Bryan that he left.right after the convention
for Europe saying he intended doing his best for
the party. In Arizona railroad men and unions
wanted McAdoo. Today this element OF the demo
cratic party are for LaFolette and for Hunt for
governor. A triangle that cannot help the demo
Gratis, for there are mighty few republicans in
Arizona for the LaFollette stripe. This division
OF sentiment is not new. This faction of the dem
ocrats would have supported McAdoo for they
classed hIm with LaFolette and have agreed in
advance to support one or the other That ele-
ment OF the democratic party against radicalism,
can see no hope for Davis in Arizona with the La
Foilette-Hunt combination working together 1t
may seem a wise thing for them to help clean
hunt and LaFOllette at the same time Hunt was
tor McAdOo. His Arizona supporters were for
McAdoo. Hunt must have the McAdoo-La Toilette
element OF his party in Arizona, or he is defeated
Tor the nomination. If this faction of Arizona
democracy is strong enough to nominate Hunt
with the laF'ollette following, can the conserva-
tive wing Of the party conscientiously help him
defeat Davis and elect himself? There may be
enough people in Arizona with selfish notions to
permit this sort of a thing to be DONE but VIE
doubt it. If Governor Hunt has enough backbone
to turn down his LaFollette followers and demand
straight party allegiance with Davis, he might
get the old democratic party vote If he tries To
SWING both elements, and it appears now as
though that was the game he intended to play. can
he fool both sides when it comes to voting? II
may be that the McAdoo- Hunt -LaF Toilette combine
have some sort of political medicine all mixed
which will catch e1n goin' and comm but accord
ing to the average way ofthinking there will have
to be strong element of back sordersaults mix
ed in, to make it success.

POLITICAL PoFTAGE AND THE PAST

A number of democratic state papers claim the
Colorado river pact is not an issue in this cam
paign. The development of Arizona is always an
issue The people want to know and have a right
to know what candidates for office propose to do
towards the development of the state. The great
Colorado river has been running down hill for
thousands of years. 1t is our. one greatest power
for good and for the development of a vast empire
that surrounds us. Shall it run on more and more
years wasting millions of potential power, power
that should be put to use for the benefit of all
mankind? Should petty minds damn the river
politically should we dam it for the good Of all
How to dam it cheapest and most effectively is
the question Condeming the pact without giving
reasons reasonable reasons is not helping to de-
velop our resources. 1t is merely cheap political
method of yelling stop thief" which is no argu
nent. Procrastnation is said to be the thief of
time. Procrastination may save some. political
llves--providings the people are fooled into pro-
crastinating while they make political hay
: Why not try something? Why not propose
some way out? Why use balky brains? Whois
1T that is in reality protecting your bifthTight !?
The man who won't let you use it or the man who:
shows you the way to use it to a profit?

right? What is birthright? Something which
prevents development, until the inventor of the
phrase gets his attorney fee? Or is 1T an opens
chance to use resources of the county and de-
velop them?
Woinel is going to develop our birthright and
heritage for us If we do not do it ourselves? What
good is our birthright and heritage unless we do]
some thinking and some work to make it valuable?
Pioneers of Arizona had the same old birth
right but they did not camp on it, fearing to- put
in some development work lest their children and
children's children would have no work to do.
Saving it for posterity is nothing but the idea
of those too internal lazy and too braness to take
advantage of opportunities now and here Too
id lazy to work. covers the real inside attitude
of these great savers of "birthrights and heri-
tages." In the hands of this element they becomei
''messes of political pottage. Let us rather leave
our children the knowledge that we were a genera
ton not only with brains but willingness to acsl
complish things.

GOOD BUSINESS AND LESS TAXES

Then again there are . few misguided folks
who have, or at least advance the idea that there
must be some politics behind The Suns advocating
the sale of the Bright Angel Trail
{ Forgetit. There is neither politics nor person
alities in the whole thing. a5na
The government has an honest desire to help
Coconno county in road building and Congress-
man Carl Hayden, a strong democrat backed the
idea of helping all hands, including the taxpayers,
in getting a big return for the trail knowing it
would relieve Coconino county of a big tax pay
nent and at the same time help develop our sec
tion Of the state in way that nothing else could
Ordinarily the people in Coconino county would
welcome the expenditure of 100000 or $5O0,O00
by the government on road work in the county,,
Tt makes little difference whether the county
spends it or the government. The county, the
property owners and people living here get the
benefit of the money spent. The men who want
to work will be given an opportunity to earn Al
part of it. $50 F.sss s.
In line with other protesting arguments
against selling the trail may be that. the govern
nent or the county will not send out complete
list of the names of the men who are to be EN-
ployed, for fear that some political enemies may
get shovel job. Consequently the soil he shovel
ed in will be SO difficult to ride over in linosine
Politics won't build roads Even the govern
ment realizes that and even county officials havea
come to that conclusion.
It seems rather a tough proposition where any
sort OF an argument is necessary to convince vOt-i
ers they should protect their own best interestsd
is as plain proposition as the Bright Angel Trail
trade. No private individual with good businessJ
sense would hesitate a moment

EDITORS ARE HUMAN

When ticklish situation arises in a town it is
quite the fashion to remark that the newspapers
The average citizen feels quite certain he could
run newspaper better than the editor, and if he
were publishing that sheet, he'd show EN- you
can bet. AS matter of fact, If he has horse
sense, he would do just as the editor does put
the soft pedal on family rows, church squabbles,
and such matters of minor consequence which viii
adjust themselves as time goes on
Don't expect the long-suffering small town
newspaper man to advocate or attack any PROPOSE
ton which you yourself lack the courage to sup
port or attack over your own signature. The
local paper is willing to push any project in the
public interest but it is not willing to pull chest
nuts out Of the fire for individuals or minorities
