Roosevelt Assails Illinois
Bosses in Message to People
Thru you extend my heartiest
greetings to the Illinois Progres
sives. I am glad to say I shall
soon be in Illinois to take part with
you in asking the people to support
us in our warfare against the reac
tionary machines and the unfaith
ful leaders who control both old
parties and who have wrested them
away from the position of defense
of the people into the position of
exploiters and depressors.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The Congressional Union Campaign
The Republican is in receipt of a communica
tion from the Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage in which we are informed that a second
carload of campaigners have left Washington for
operation in the nine states where women enjoy
the privilege of voting. Among the campaigners
i:. Miss Jane Pincus who will open national head
quarters in Phoenix whence she will direct the
campaign throughout the state. She will be as
sisted by Miss Mabel Vernon. Miss Pincus is al
ready on the ground.
We should explain that the Congressional
I'nion is an organization formed to oppose the re
election of members of congress who were un
friendly to the equal suffrage constitutional amend
ment. This campaign has been criticised and
called a "blacklisting" movement and one argu
ment that has been offered against it is that it
aims at the defeat of members of congress who,
though opKsed to woman suffrage in the nation,
nre otherwise useful public servants. It may be
said of this argument that from the time of the
foundation of the government, "blacklisting" of this
character has been common. Members of ctmgress
have been opposed and sometimes defeated on
account of their record on some particular issue.
Their constituents have felt warranted in voting
against them by reason of their stand on that one
issue, so that by ancient precedent, the suffragists
are within their rights in trying to defeat any con
gressman who is antagonistic to the cause of equal
suffrage which they believe to be the overshadow
ing issue. At any rate, it is the one which con
cerns them the most.
But whether this kind of campaign will be
the best for the cause of suffrage is another mat
ter. There is a probability that in many states
and congressional districts suffragist camps, will
be divided by the movement. That will almost
certainly be the case in Arizona where the cam
paign will be especially directed against Hon.
Marcus A. Smith who was always opposed to local
woman suffrage and then again, was opposed to
the constitutional amendment providing for national
woman suffrage on the ground that it would not
ne local. Yet, in the late primary campaign, Mr..
Smith had the ardent support of many well known
suffragists, including lit least two prominent lead
ers. It may be said though, that the cause of suf
frage is not likely to be retarded by any division
that may be effected, since the campaign is to be
conducted only in those states in which equal suf
frage is already in operation.
The democratic party, the administration and
the congress, in the consideration of the equal suf
frage amendment provoked the just resentment of
the suffragists, not by open, honest opposition but
by weakness and subterfuge. We would contrast
their course with that of the progressive party
which from its organization has steadily cham
pioned equal suffrage because it was an essential
part of a program of justice; as essential as jus
tice between capital and labor, between employer
and employed; as justice among all citizens of the
republic.
C. F. 6V I. Obitinacy
mine-owners were to take back such employes as
were not guilty of crimes against them.
...The most essential feature of the plan was the
filial adjudication of disputes by a federal grievance
commission. The miners accepted the plan but
the mine-owners did not accept it in its entirety
or in any essential part of it. Objections were
raised to this or that feature by various owners
other than the C. P. & I. company and now, that
company rejects whatever promised to be of value
at all. It cannot agree to take back all the strik
ers for to do so, it says, it would have to discharge
many of its present employes. The president
would not and could not insist upon that and,
doubtless, it was not contemplated that the miners
should discharge a man now employed by them or
that the mines should employ more men than they
need, or can profitably work. The president only
proposed that the strikers should not be discrim
inated against. To this, the company replies that
it cannot accept that part of the plan, meaning that
it will not bind itself to take back any of the strik
ers. The federal commission feature Is rejected
and notice is thereby served upon the president that
the company will do as it has done in the past,
conduct its own affairs to suit itself.
Such obstinacy is hastening the day which a
large majority of Americans would postpone, when
the government must put its strong hand on these
disturbed places and compel peace and order. The
time is passing when employers and employes shall
be allowed to maintain a ferment whose continuance
shall depend upon an agreement which may be
weeks, months or years in the making. Central
ization of government is moving rapidly and federal
interference in intra-state affairs is becoming more
and more marked. It is but a step from the appli
cation of the strong controlling-hand to the strong
owning-hand, and each will be applied when the
public policy demands it.
It has been some centuries since men were al
lowed to settle their differences with sword or fist
on the streets without public interference. Civili
zation demands that groups of men shall not be
allowed to settle their differences by violence to
the disturbance of the state of the community.
In aftertimes the Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany of Colorado may be alluded to as further proof
that "whom the gods would destroy, they first
make mad" or confirm in their obstinacy. This
company stands an obstacle to President Wilson's
plan for the restoration of industrial peace in Colo
rado where it is more sorely needed than in any
other part of the country. For many years that
state has been torn by strife and stained with
blood , the miners have lost and the mine-owners
have lost.- -As in nearly all controversies, both
sides have been to blame. It was to compose their
differences by means of concessions from - both
Bides that the president presented a plan by. which
the miners should surrender their demand for a
recognition of the union and the mine-owners
should not discriminate against the union. Thus
was proposed the broadest industrial freedom. The
Strenuous Strife
I . - By Walt Mason
The People or the Bosses?
The attempt by the republicans of California to
oust the progressive candidates from the state re
publican ticket is a laughable proceeding. This
action is being taken on the ground that these can
didates were nominated by electors of other parties
than the republican party. But these electors
were registered as republicans and not only no
question of the genuineness of their republicanism
was raised during the registration period but they
were welcomed with tumultuous joy to the repub
lican fold as returning prodigals, and their coming
was gleefully chronicled by the republican news
papers. Whether or not they registered in bad faith and
were still progressives, we do not know. We know
that they had never been registered as progressives
for no Californian previous to this year had ever
been so registered. We also know that the pro
gressive newspapers and .leaders could not have
been parties to such a conspiracy as the ousters
now claim existed.
The California law gave all voters the right to
vote for whom they pleased in the primary of the
party with which they had registered. The law
also allowed a candidate of any party to have his
name on the primary ballot of any other party or
all other parties, and so become eligible to receive
the votes of any citizens in their respective pri
maries. The law further permitted the voters to
vote for a candidate though his name might not
appear on the party ballot, by writing in his name.
In this way 15,000 republican voters voted for Gov
ernor Johnson though he had declined to follow
the course of the other progressive state candidates
and enter the republican primary.
The law which the ousters are attacking was
designed to give the people of California the great
est freedqm of action in the choice of candidates
and that seems an ideal thing. It is unlikely that
the courts will undertake to, restrict that freedom
because the people have exercised it in a manner
unsatisfactory to a group of political bosses.
But, , suppose that the progressive candidates
were forced off the republican ticket, would not the
voters who supported them 'in the republican pri
mary still be likely to support them at the general
election? Or would .the ousters insist that tire
republican voters should be compelled by injunc
tion to vote for republican candidates?
When man discards the pruning hook and takes
up sword or sabre, determined in his heart to cook
the gander of his neighbor, when he elects to turn
his face to ruin, wreck and ravage, he shows that
he, with all his grace, is still at heart a savage.
He talks about the boon of peace an ear his coun
try lends him and then he goes to knock the grease
from some one who offends him. He swears by all
the sainla above that warfare shocks and galls
him ,and he'll support the white winged dove, what
ever ill befalls him; then someone steps upon his
toes, which makes him yearn for slaughter, and he
proceeds to tear his clothes, and grabs his sword
and swatty-r. Is there an army in his path? You
see him h;ick and hew it, still crying in his noble
wrath, "Mv neighbors drove me to it!" While wield
ing snickersnee and creese, he says he is a martyr;
he claims he is a prince of peace, while acting like
a Tartar. At last his neighbors tire of tricks be
yond excuse or pardon, so they break his head with
bricks and plant him in his garden. The boon of

louder, and as they praise they'll grind their swords

In Europe, when the war is done
may that day soon be greeted! when
some their victory have won, and some
have been defeated, 'twill be a country
of the old, the halt, the maimed, the
dying; in unmarked couches, 'neath the
mould, the young' men will be lying.
Afar the youthful hosts are flung, like
grain that waits the reaping; for war
takes harvest of the young, and leaves
the old men weeping. In Europe, when
the war is done, and rust dims sword
and sabre, in barren fields, from sun
to sun, old men and dames will labor.

go forth through the enemies' fields
with a torch tomorrow and reflects
with pride upon the fact that when
he is through burning the cops the

eat straw through the winter.

That is what war docs for civili

been shooting at each other for a
year or "two civilization has to bp
given a pulmotor treatment before it
can revive sufficiently to keep the
killing of children from being listed
as pastime.
Civilization has made this world
endurable and it is the one thing
which should not be given a vacation
even if we have to abandon war to
keep it at work.
The patriarch must guide the plow in

to do the seeding, while groaning o'er
his varied scars, and old wounds
freshly bleeding. Home veteran on

The Merchants and Manufacturers'
association at the annual membership
dinner held last night at the Arizona
club came out against the proposition
to run the' Los Angeles Phoenix road
race for the Republican cup over the
newly proposed route through North
ern Arizona, and declared themselves
to be in favor of the old southern
route, and appointed a committee to
confer with the fair commission, the
board of trade and G. P. Bullard, chair
man of the auto committee relative to
the proposition, and to see if it is not
possible for the race to be run over the
old route rather than taken over an
entirely unauthorized route. The ques
tion was first raised when J. C. Adams
was speaking upon the value of the
state fair to Phoenix. Mr. Welch pre
viously had spoken of the matter of
raising the money necessary to make j
the purses that have been agreed upon,
when he suggested the proper way to
handle the budget was for the board
of supervisors to help cover the sum
necessary.
J. A. Adams spoke of the great ad
vertising Phoenix gets yearly by reason
of the splendid exhibitions of trotting
horses and the prize stock that is year
ly coming to Phoenix to be shown.
Great publicity is given Phoenix in
thousands of papers all over the coun
try by reason of the contests, and be
cause of the unequalled climate, the
fast track, and the size of the purses.
He supported his statements with fig
ures. David Goldberg, P. "T. Slakback,
Dvvight B. Heard and E. Power Con
way also spoke on the advisability of
having the race over the old route and
methods to be pursued in raising the
money.
Corporation Commisioner F. A. Jones
was then introduced by President Pratt
of the association and in a speech de
voted to a discussion of the present
freight rate situation in the southwest
explained that the railroads are at
tempting to discriminate against Ari
zona in their attempts to get a modifi
cation of the order of 1911 issued by the
Interstate commerce commission and
confirmed by the supreme court of the
United States establishing the inter-
mountain rates. If any such moaitica
tion is completed as desired by the
railroads, the effect on this section will
be a reversal of the conditions prevail
ing whereby benefits are accruing to
Phoenix by reason of the reasonable
rates. This case is to oe neara on
October 6 af Chicago and Commis
sioner Jones will be present both on
behalf of the corporation commission
and the shippers of Arizona. He ad
vised however, that the local business
men send a shipper to the hearing, one
capable of giving testimony if called
upon, thus backing up the statements
that might be made in their behalf.
Commissioner Jones stated that he did
not believe many would oppose a hori
zontal raise, but most certainly great
opposition - ought to develop toward
any action that discriminates against
Arizona.
Representatives of the press spoke
on the value of a newspaper campaign
to a day set for trade stimulator. 1 The
suggestion of "dollar day" so success
ful elsewhere was made and received
with approval. A general discusison
was had upon the money raising ques
tion before adjournment was taken.
Forty or more members of the asso
ciation sat down to the elegant repast
that had been prepared. The occasion
wits voted to have been the most suc
cessful of its kind yet held by the M.
Sr M. and more such gatherings will
be held during the coming fall and
winter.

in Mexico throughout the day pictured
the situation as ominous. From Mexi
co City came reports hat Carranza is
considering the advisability of post
poning the convention for ten days.
From this fact, a ray of hope was ob
tained by some officials who thought
the breach might be healed if a new
method of representation at the con
vention is agreed upon.
That the railroad has been inter
rupted north of Aguas Calientes came
in official reports together with the in
formation that Villa's delegates have
delayed their departure.
During the day Paul Fuller, who had
personal conferences with both Villa
and Carranza for the Washington gov
ernment, reported at length to the
president and Secretary Bryan. He
gave them detailed information of the
attitude of both. Fuller is understood
to have explained to Carranza that the
American government desired to see a
provisional government set up which
would be recognized by all factions and
that only such government would be
accorded recognition.
