DEMOCRATS ARE
NOW AROUSED

proviso as that for the recall of judges.
With one exception there is not a
newspaper, Democratic or Bepublican,
in the territory which is not ham
mering the constitutional convention
hard for the passing of such sweep
ing provisions for direct legislation.

gregate and jump upon a set or aeie-
crates from a certain county or
group,
of counties, many explanations
might be forthcoming. It is none of
these and, therefore, it is plain that
the Arizona press, to the last ink pot,
has awakened to the Impractical na
ture of the recall in the constitu
tion. Democrats Awaken.
The Democratic press, during the
campaign, cried aloud for these fea
tures, and helped to make votes on
them, but now that the things have
been inserted and the seriousness of it
is apparent, the editors are talking
the other way. They realize that it
Is not what the territory wants or
needs.
The Republican papers have all
along declared that statehood would
be lost if these Socialistic "isms" be
came a part of Arizona's organic law,
but the Democratic press is now
aroused as well, after the harm has
been done.
When the convention assembled, the
Republican papers declared the Demo-j
crats naa ueiraeu me ycuy. "
thev had no intention of giving the
state the measures of direct legisla-t-irm
nnfl indeed, it looked like this
-time tn-ir' for a lonpr time. Finally.
however, the initiative and referen
dum were made into provisions. Then
the Republican papers screamed pro-1
test, while tne ueraourauv; a.,
with only an exception or two, writhed
in discomfort.
At last came the day for the pass
ing of the recall provision. he de
bate on this in the convention was
upon whether this should be extended
to the judiciary and the members in
favor of such extension proved the
more numerous!
JxiaidJirj- Uaeafe.
The fact acted as a signal to let
loose upon the convention all the viala
of wrath. Even the Arizona Demo
crat protested vehemently that the
constitution was utterly ruined and
that the people would not accept It.
Other Democratic papers fell Into line
until there is now not one that is not
protesting the action of the delegates
and it would be no surprise to see the
constitution defeated if the papers
hae their way.
The Douglas International, Demo
cratic, has this to say: "Arizona wants
a judicial system which shall be su
perior and away above all political
controversies. We want courts that
cannot be subjected to harassment in
the enforcement of the law for and
against every interest, class or indi
vidual." The same paper quotes at length a
townsman to the effect that there is
practically no support of the conven
tion on the recall proposition. It fur
ther editorializes in the story contain
ing an interview with the townsman
in question to this effect:
"The International finds that among
the business men there is little sup
port for the recall in any form, and
Italian Avalanch

A rr fijarkable photograph of the SCO ton boulders ithlch wore cashed

practically none for a recall that would
reach the judiciary." -
Not a Conservative Crowd.
The trouble with the International
is the same as -with all the rest of
the press of Arizona; it is making a
serious mistake In thinking that this
Is a business man's convention or that
the ballots of business men electei
the Democratic delegation. Business
ballots are prone to be safe and sano
as a rult, and the safe and sane bal
lots were cast for Republican dele
gates and against the idea of direct
legislation.
Storekeepers, in cases where the
stores were large concerns; stockmen,
in tile sense of men owning herds;
miners, if by that such gigantic com
panies as the Copper Queen and Clark's
United Verde are meant, voted against
direct legislation. But it was the
miner de facto; the men with the pick;
tne cowboy who rides the range and
some cf the Arizona farmers who se
lected the delegates to the constitu
tional convention.
A leading Republican politician, a
federal officeholder; a man who, next
to the governor, holds the most con
spicuous place in officialdom here,
said:
"The people will beat this constitu
tion at the polls. Every newspaper Jn
the territory is against it."
Work Nearly Over.
Of course, there will be many odds
and ends to pick up and put together,
but the real work, the actual framing
of constitutional provisions, is practi
cally over.
Railroads, school lands, water rights,
irrigation (the life of agriculture out
here) and corporations and banking
are perplexing problems, but, while
they are most profound and even more
important than profound, they have
been previously deeply studied and the
delegates or a sufficient majority of
them, know what they -want. There- i

-Amending uonsmntion.
Another big thing remains to be
done. The constitution must provide
J for a method and a percentage for
amending the constitution.
"A constitution containing only es
sentials and one easily amended" is
what president Taft urged upon Arl
z6na and New Mexico.
Just what he meant by essentials is
a thing which has caused a diversity
of opinion in Arizona. It also leads
to the overthrow of the Republican
majority in the territory, for the people
insisted that direct legislation is an
essential. President Taft could not be
got to deny this, although the Repub
lican machine leaders in Arizona in
sisted that not only was such action
not essential within the president's pur
view; it was or would be fatal to state
hood. Direct legislation in the most
stringent form is in the constitution as
it stands.
Because of this condition, it is confi
dently expected that now the conven
tion will proceed to provide for simple
and easy amendment of the constitu
tion it submits to the people. Diffi
cult amendment would cause its rejec
tion, it is believed.
