When Andy Poked Bill At Tucson

Mayor Andrew Bettwy did not make hit with
proponents of the old American doctrine Of free
speech but he got plenty of applause from delegates
to the state Democratic convention in Tucson Sat
urday when he poked Editor Bill Mathews of the Ari
zona Daily Star on the chin while the latter was de-
hvering a TRADE against the Roosevelt ad1ninistra-
tiOn
Mathews brought onto himself the trouble that
threw the convention into an uproar His speech, as
sailing the Democratic President of the United States
before gathering of Democrats would have gone ov
er much better in a Republican convention.
From the time that Mathews paper reached the
convention delegates in the hotel lobbes Saturday
morning it was evident that Mathews faced trouble
If he carried out his announcement that he would
speak at the convention against the New Deal In
Saturdays paper he had also printed bitter front
page editorial against the Democratic national ad
n1inistratiOn.
The two factions of delegates, squabbling among
themselves each trying to win the national commit
teemanship, were already in a bad humor when Mat
heWs began speaking. But they were together
one thing and one thing only - THEY WE'RE
ALL FOR ROOSEVELT.
The minute that Bill took his first crack at the
President, the warning Demos began hooting and
were just about to hoot Bill down when up walked
Nogales' husky mayor to the speakers stand.
It was not audible what Andy said to Bill or what
Bill said to Andy whether any words passed be-
tween the two men, but at any rate Andy let go
right to the jaw and Mathews struck the floor
Mathews quickly got up and began speaking
again. The hooting and booing became louder, some
one turned off the loud speaker, and there was Bill
speaking away but able to hear what he was
saying SOon he voluntarily took seat amid shouts
Of throw him OUT from delegates in the convention
hall.
Andy had made a hit with persons who like the
knock down route in helping to squelch a speaker
that crowd was against, and Bill, too, made hit
with some nOn-delegates who admired him for his
nerve in resuming his speech after having
been foOred and in face of the fact that he stood
chance of being thrown out of the convention hall by
a group Of Democrats who were in a fighting mood
and who didn't like the idea of any person attacking
their idol - President Franklin D. Roosevelt
Bill Mathews is one of the brainiest men in the
state good speaker and brilliant editorial writ
eh -but he certainly pulled boner when he attempt
ed to beittle Democratic President at Democratic
convention.
The next time that Mathews wants to lombard
Democratic administration he should do 80 at Re-
publican convention He was entirely out of place at
the Democratic meeting and as long as he feels he
does - strongly opposed to the Roosevelt admins
tration - he should not aspire again to membership
on the Pima county Democratic Central Committee
or the State Democratic Committee.

Santa Cruz Democracy Not Pinto

The Tucson Democratic convention had many in
!teresting sidelights.
One of those was the sight of Writ Bowman of
Nogales and Charley Adams working side by side.
These two men - two of the most powerful DEM
ocratc leaders in the state - had been at outs more
|or less since the time four years ago when Bowman
defeated Addams for the national commtteemanship
Down at Tucson Saturday. they. were for the
They were in caucuses together - to those two
leaders working together you would never have
Thought that any friction ever existed between the
two.
One of the most amusing things of the conven-
ton was the charge that the ant-Langmade forces
were unprecedented That included all persons who
were for Sam Morris, Globe mining company attorney
for committeeman.
Adams, Bowman and many others were for Nor
iris In past campaigns Addams and Bowman were
usually for George w. P. Hunt and he anything
but unprecedented Neither Bowman or Addams have
Iany connections with the mining interests and there
was no reason in the world why they should have been
lcaed "coppercollared simply because they were for
Sam Morris.
For many years Democrats in this state have been
]cassed as either for against the mining companies
Maybe the mines do run some Democrats In Arizona

ocrats or Stanford Democrats We're for them all so
long as they support the straight Democratic ticket

For many years I watched him.

PRAYER FOR A LITTLE HOME
(By Florence Bone)

God send us e little home To come back to when we roam Low walls and fiuted tiles, Wide windows, Q view for miles; Red firelight and deep chairs; Small white beds upstairs; Great talk in little hooks; Dim coIors, rows of books; One picture on each wall; Not many things at all. God send us a little ground Tall trees standing round, Homely flowers in brown sod, Overhead thy stars, O God! God bless when winds blow Our home and all we know.

have only one idea" you say,
proud of your many-idea intellect.
That IS exactly why they are
powerful. They HAVE only one
idea-but they back that one idea
with all they have.
The man with one idea doesn't
scatter his forces. He concen-
trates on one issue and keeps ever
lastingly at it.
SINGLE IDEA
His attack may seem trivial but
he never stops-and he wears his
opponent away by that very per-
Sistence.
He has it all over the chap with
a dozen irons in the fire who
gives but fraction of his energy
to each project.
And the one-track mind is often
dangerous, because it never sees,
or tries to see, the other fellows
side of the picture.
It has only one desire and If
you get in tho way Of that desire,
that's YOUR bad luck.

INDUSTRIAL ENGLAND

More than anything is England
a land of contrasts, mostly be-
cause of the scant dimensions of
the tight little isle.
To the average traveller, Lon
don is England, the place con-
tanning all that he wishes to see.
But the real traveller spends but
little time in a metropolis. His
is the desire to really know a
country.
He tarries not in Berlin but
hurries on down the Rhine to the
Black Forest or on to Bavaria. He
m axes Paris his jumping-off
ground for the lovely chateux be-
side the winding Loire, or Prov
ence or the Basque country.
Just a day or so in London is
sufficient and then he is off to
England's famed west country or
to the glorious Shakespeare coun-
try. And right by Warwickshire,
which was ShakeSpeare'S home
county, is one of England's strong
est contrasts.
Here is an industrial region,
dark, drear and drab, adjacent to
some of the most beautiful coun-
try in the world, a landscape that
seems untouched by history,
change or man for centuries.
HEART OF BRITAIN
The Black country, as this Mid
land area is termed, is the heart
of Britain. But it is the fashion
to sneer at it, to poke fun at its
pail of chimney and mill smoke,
much as we do about Pittsburgh.
Yet, the products Of Liverpool,
Manchester, Birmingham, Dudley,
Wolverhampton nd the pot
teries" are known and used IN
every corner of the world.
Chimney stacks stand like sol
diers for miles belching forth
SCOT. smoke and CRIME that seem
to mingle with the low-hanglng
clouds that forever obscure the
sun unless q sea breeze or wind
from the moorS drives them away
and lets the sun through.
The workers themselves live IN
