TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER, 7, 1920
i A lie is no more to be excused in
"politics than out of politics.
Theodore Roosevelt.
The Creighton-Cameron Alliance
Increasing: evidence of the Creighton-Cameron
alliance was given last evening in a Cameron adver
tisement in the Gazette signed by Mr. Ned Creighton,
whose interest in Cameron's nomination seems to be
growing in intensity.
In a recent open letter to the publisher of The
Republican, Mr. Ned Creighton made the unqualified
statement that E. S. Clark sought and obtained the
endorsement cf the Labor Non-Partisan political
convention at Tucson.
In a reply In The Republican the next day, accom
panied by a statement from Mr. Clark, it was proved
conclusively that Mr. Creighton's charges were abso
lutely without foundation. Having failed completely
to make good his charges, Mr. Creighton, with the
adroitness of an artful dodger, abandoned his attempt
to load on Mr. Clark's shoulders the endorsement of
the much discussed Tucson convention of twenty
eight persons, and in last night's advertisement
tried to prove that the Yavapai ; County dele
gation insisted on the endorsement of Mr. Clark. On
investigation we find that the entire Yavapai County
delegation consisted, of one person, a Col. Bowler of
Prescott, who, while friendly to Mr. Clark, was with
out authority to speak for him. Thus the whole In
cident resolves itself into a clear case of "much ado
about nothing."
Realizing his complete failure in the Tucson con
vention matter, Mr. Creighton, in an effort to throw
more sand in the air at the last hour, reproduces in
his advertisement a letter purporting to be a copy
of one sent out to two Mexicans, urging them to
support Mr. Clark, and said to be signed by Lester
B. Doane, a local organizer of the Federal Union of
cotton field workers.
This Federal Union is at present engaged in an
attempt to create dissatisfaction among Mexican
laborers by suggesting a scale of wages and hours
ao unreasonable as to completely paralyze the cotton
industry. While there are many labor organizations
directed by men of good sense who believe in co
operation in industry, this organization is unfortun
ately directed by men bent on a destructive policy
and is naturally most unpopular with the farmers
and the more intelligent Mexicans, hence this desper
ate effort to foist its support upon Mr. Clark.
Mr. Clark," however, met this crafty attack
aquarely and in a ringing address last evening to a
crowded meeting of citizens at the Y stadium denied
in unqualified terms any knowledge of or pledge to
this Federal Union and declared himself as vigorously
opposed to their destructive propaganda and methods.
In his stirring address Mr. Clark with his cus
tomary frankness, good nature and courage, after
radical and destructive forces, with equal candor
repudiating this desperate attempt to ally him with
6tated he was proud of the friendship and support
of those self-respecting and loyal laboring men in
Arizona whether within or without the unions who
stood for "justice, fair dealing and co-operation in
ndustry and who, believing in the constructive poli
cies of the Republican party, were giving it and him
their hearty support.
Primary Day
Today i3 primary day. More than 23,000 voters
in Maricopa county have qualified to signify their
choice of the various candidates of their political
party, a record registration which indicates the high
interest taken by the citizens in the present cam
paign. Whether the charge that the direct primary is
a failure is true will depend upon the size of the vote
today. The larger the vote, the better the chance
that the candidates most qualified to fill the offices
they are seeking will be selected to go on the tickets
at the general election next November.
Never before has Maricopa county and Arizona
been in greater need of able men and women In the
public offices than this year. The program of pro
gress planned for the coming months is a pretentious
one and it needs far-seeing and right-thinking of
ficials to carry it through to fulfillment that Phoe
nix and Arizona may lead in the procession of cities
and states and continue to be the best of all cf them
in which to live and to enjoy health, contentment
and prosperity.
The candidates selected today will be the ones
for whom the people will vote on November 2.
Whether these will be the best of each party will
depend upon the result of the primary. A heavy
vote today will do much to bring about this much
desired result.
A Word To The Wise
It is a matter of self-congratulation to any can
didate coming before the electors today that the only
reflection that has been brought against him in the
course of a long campaign is one the very utterance
of which was its refutation. The American people
look for the highest standards of citizenship in those
who ask for their suffrages at the polls, but they
rnderstand also that none of us are perfect. So,
v hen a candidate who is not only first in point of
bnity among tho.-e seeking of rice but who has been
before the public for many years appeals for their
support aain. the voter may be assured that he is
the usual stamiu, --
is making no mistake.

future. Its development, however, must depend in
great measure upon its representatives in Washing
ton, and the voter who is looking only for the ad
vancement of his state will see in Mr. Clark the logical
man to assist Arizona as United States senator.
Natural gifts belong to Mr. Clark in an uncommon
measure, but these are only part of his equipment
for the position to which he aspires. He has had a
long and varied experience. He is thoroughly
acquainted with the needs of Arizona. He has
watched the growth of his state for nearly 40 years
and he knows what is needed for its continued de
velopment in the future.
A vote for Mr. Clark today Is not only a vote
for good government, but it is, in a special manner,
a vote for Arizona. After all. the function of gov
ernment is the preservation of the welfare and the
advancement of the prosperity of those who own Its
allegiance. It is incumbent, therefore, upon the voter
to select for United States senator that candidate
whose platform is in the plainest terms a platform
embodying the good of Arizona. To be careless in
voting for your United States senator is to be recreant
in great measure to the responsibilities of citizenship.
These considerations, we believe, have been gone
over thoroughly by the majority of the voters in the
state. Mr. Clark Is known in every county of Arizona,
and his acquaintanceship has been widened by the
campaign now at a close. This advocacy of his
candidacy is directed to those others who may
have been careless In their examination of
the merits of the various candidates but who are now
desirous of casting their vote for a man really quali
fied to make a good senator for this great state. Such
a man is E. S. Clark.
Able, clean, fearless and unpledged to any special
interest or group, Mr. Clark appeals today for the
support of the clear-thinking men and women of the
Republican party. He has fought a square, manly
fight free from trickery or buncomb and those who
know the man should be proud of voting and working
for him today.
Politicians Puzzled
The greatest puzzle the politicians are endeavor
ing to solve this year is how the women are going
to vote. Old campaign managers, clever party
leaders and political astrologers have labored long
and earnestly with this problem and are no nearer
its solution. Even the faithful ouija board has
failed to answer. From various headquarters the
plea has gone forth to the women voters to stick with
their party, but the very likely occurrence that the
women may proceed to be the most independent of
non-partisans and vote regardless of rarty lines i
causing the campaign managers and the candidates
much uneasiness.
Workers for the various candidates have ex
hausted all their political wiles to win this great new
feminine vote, but the best of them admit they are
as far at sea as ever in forecasting the result. Only
the counting of the ballots on November 2 will tell.
In many a Phoenix family the husband and wife
have registered with different political parties, thus
exploding the fallacy .that the minds of women so
along with those of their husbands or other male
relatives in matters political. There may be a few
husbands whs will be brave enough to attempt to
control the ballots of their wives, but the great ma
jority of the women will exercise their wonderful new
privilege they have been so long gaining In an inde
pendent manner.
To -the credit of American women, they are re
garding the ballot as something more than a fad.
The ratification of the nineteenth amendment is
distinctly an epoch and it must be said to the credit
of the women that they are preparing themselves
by study and inquiry to cast their ballots this fall
in a manner best for the home, the children and the
city and state in which they live. They think of
politics In different terms from those of the average
campaign-worker. Given a hand in the selection
of the men and women who are to fill the public
offices, they realize they must familiarize themselves
with the fundamentals of government and It3 opera
tion. The women have not acquired the ballot easily.
The years that have passed since the early days of
the suffrage movement until its final ratification
have given them a deep sense of the obligation they
have assumed. Considering the many mistakes the
men have made in the selction of candidates and the
making of laws, no one will say that the women are
not going to vote with at least an equal, intelligence.
Many will blunder, but men with all their experience
have done as much. It is safe to say, however,
that the women will cast their ballots with a heart
felt intent to select the candidates who will aid in
bringing better government, better homes, better
schools and a better city.
Many candidates have addressed a considerable
portion of their campaign material directly to the
women, but what success this has had and in what
measure this great new vote can be lired up in that
manner will not be known until the votes are counted
on November 2.
The new winter gowns for women, we see by the
pictures and a description In a trade journal, show
no suggestion of a waist-line. Is this the first result
of the completed ratification of Ae nineteenth
amendment.
Patronize the primary. It comes only once every

Mayor McSwiney has eighteen day3 to go before
he equals the feat of Dr. Tanner forty years ago.
The more we learn about the Arizona "strip" the
less chance Utah has of alienating it.
Campaign issues are having a hard time of it
keeping track of their various identities.
Governor Cox tells us that if he is elected presi
dent he will put a "dirt farmer" in charge of the
agricultural portfolio. Not knocking Dave Houston
and Secretary Meredith, of course.
It ha been decided by an eminent socialist
authority that the fact that Eugene Debs Is in jail
is no bar to his election to the presidency. Certainly
not. Neither would it operate to take him out of jail
before the expiration of his sentence. The inaugural
ceremonies could be held there and so could the cab
inet meetings.
To The Republican Voters of Arizona:
As the closing word of this somewhat strenuous
primary campaign, I desire to extend tuy heartfelt
thanks to the thousands of my friends all over Ari
zona whose generous and spontaneous support
throughout the campaign has been at once my
strength and inspiration. If no gain should come to
me other than this surpassing proof of confidence
and esteem, I should consider the expenditure of
time, energy and a modest sum of money to have
been the most profitable and gratifying venture of
my entire life. It now seems assured .however, that
success at the polls is to crown the unselfish work of
my adherents, and that I am to be afforded the
opportunity, which I shall cherish as the greatest that
could possibly be afforded me ,of proving to them
and to the people of the State that their faith in me
was not misplaced, and that as a senator I shall in
no wise swerve from the course that has of itself,
and apart from extraneous considerations of any
kind. Inculcated that faith. Regardless of the. result
of the ballot, I shall nevertheless devote myself, as
f-.pr-Ptofore. to the best interests of the community
with no diminution of the vieror nnd courage which
my friends generously believe has marked my efforts
among them, and with the single purpose of meeting
the demands of any occasion according to justice,
right, and the broadest consideration of our common
and mutual interests.

OUKDAHY SUIT WILL
1ES1IIT II GREATEST
II S. LEGAL STRUGGLE
AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 6. One of the
greatest legal struggles tha United
States has ever known will develop
from the Texas-Oklahoma boundary
suit now pending in the United States
supreme court, according to C. W. Tay
lar, Texas assistant attorney general.
The United States, Oklahoma and
Texas claim jurisdiction over the lands
involved.
None of the factions in the three
cornered fight is advancing claims for
definite bodies of land this early in the
struggle. In a general way Oklahoma
claims that the south bank of the Red
river as it flowed in 1S19, when the
treaty between Spain and the United
States fixed the boundary between
their respective holdings, is the line.
The United States supports the Okla
homa contention where Indian lands
are involved and claims jurisdiction
over these lands. Texas contends that
the center of the present river bed is
the boundary.
These conflicting claims leave the
title to a strip of land along the mean
dering of the river for at least 500
miles in doubt. Only the length of the
strip is definitely set out in the claims.
Its width varies from a few feet to sev
eral miles.
Texas will first contend for the mid
dle of the river as the boundary, Mr.
Taylor said, and if it losea this fight,
will claim the ordinary high water
mark of the present rivr as the south
bank. . Every foot of the land south
of the high water mark on this side
of the river will be contested. If Okla
homa's claim that the river has shifted
north in places since the treaty was
signed is allowed, he continued, Texas
will ask that Oklahoma be required
to prove every shift of the river which
allows encorachment upon soil now
held by Texas.
In rebuttal, he added, it is possible
that Texas will attempt to prove that
the river bed has shifted south in
places, and thus placed Texas land on
the Oklahoma side. Oklahoma has
designated only one or two points
where it is alleged the river has shifted
north.
If the south bank of the river in 1819
is fixed as the boundary, Mr. Taylor
said, the question of fixing the old
bank of the stream will increase the
magnitude of the suit, which will then
resolve itself into a series of tangles
with masses of evidence to support
claims and counter claims at numerous
points along the river.
The boundary between the two
states has been disputed practically
ever since the land was worth claim
ing. While Oklahoma was a territory
the United States entered suit and re
covered Greer county from Texas on
the grounds that the south branch of
the river, instead of the north branch,
was the boundary and that all the land
in .the forks of the river belonged to
Oklahoma. But the dispute between
the two states was held to local pro
portion until the discovery of oil on
the Texas side in Wichita county.
Then in November, 1919, Oklahoma
claimed lands between the bluff and
the edge of the river on the Texas sida
under the allegation that the river had
shifted from the bluffs northward since
the treaty was signed, and from this
suit grew the one involving the whole
boundary.
Practically all the land invoivea is
held under the titles issued by either
Texas or Oklahoma. If jurisdiction
over lands is changed, these titles will
become void, it is said, and the prop
erty subject to resale by the state ac
quiring it. unless provisions are made
to the contrary in the settlement of the
suit.
The first hearing of this case before
the supreme court is set for Nov. 15,
when the question of whether the de
cision in the Greer county case shall
apply in this suit will be submitted.
