j the long run, it works more damage
I than softness of head.
Theodore Roosevelt.
Why Covarnor Campbell
We do not believe that the most sanguine Demo
crat in the United Statea believes. If he is reaaonably
well informed, that Governor Cox stands the slightest
show of being elected. Rather, well Informed Demo
crats share with Republicans the expectation, that
on November 2 there will be such a landslide as has
not been witnessed since the Orant-Greely campaign
of 1872. There is hardly loss doubt that the Re
publicans will gain several senators and increase
their membership in the house so that the Republi
cans will have such an absolute control of the govern
ment as they have not enjoyed for sixteen years.
We will refrain from an expression of our be
lief that that will be a good thing for the country at
arge. Our Democratic friends inform us that it will
lot be, and they predict, the prediction amounting to
m admission of Republican victory, that if the Re
publicans win they will make such a muddle of
'hlngs that Harding will be the last Republican presl
Jent we shall see in a quarter of a century. But we
aiay also let that pass.
But there are some things we may reasonably be
'icve. Accepting the fact that we are going to have
Republican administration and a strong Republi
can congress after March 4 next, it must appear that f
Arizona, which wants many things and Maricopa
:ounty which especially wants and most sorely needs
protection for its greatest industry, that of long
itaple cotton, should put themselves Into a position
'.o -appeal to the party in power. They can do that,
Arizona, by the re-election of Governor Campbell
nd Maricopa county", by rolling up for him such a
iplendld majority as H gave him four years ago and
igaln. two years ago.
The mere election of a Republican governor,
while that would put the state or the county Into a
stronger position, would not be so much desired as
the election of Governor Campbell whose standing
with Senator Harding and the leaders of the part Is
much higher than any Arizona governor has ever
enjoyed with his national party leaders. We may
stato as a fact that in the whole list of American
governors thero Is none who is more highly held out
side his own state than Governor Campbell; there Is
none who commands more respectful attention. At
t recent congregation of Republican governors at
Marion, Ohio, the three governors who were received
by the "senator with the greatest deference were Gov
ernor Lowden of Illinois, Governor Sproule of Penn
sylvania and Governor Campbell of Arizona.
Governor Campbell would be backed in any de
mand he might make for legislation by another force
which would not be at the command of any other
man whom we might put Into the governor's chair,
Republican or Democrat tha League of Western
States, of which he was one of the organizers and'of
which he is at present the head. While there is only
one other western state than Arizona California
iliat la concerned in the long staple cotton Industry,
there Is such a profound understanding among the
members of the league, of the needs Of one another,
that with Governor Campbell urging the protection
of this Industry, he would have the hearty support of
every state member of the league.
We do not think there is a grower of long staple
t otton In this or the Yuma Valley, and in the regions '
about Casa Grande and Tucson, that underestimates
by this time, the need of protection of the industry
as the greatest, the most imperative of its needs.
The last two years our cotton growers enjoyed
high prices because of the lack of competition. There
was only a slight invasion "by the Egyptian crop in
those years and spinners were doubtful whether, or
at least, when, they could count upon an available
supply. But they are receiving it now. It is constantly
arriving and there are hundreds of thousands of bales
on the docks at Alexandria awaiting shipment.
American manufacturers want it because it Is cheap
er by reason of the cheaper labor which produces it
Until we have a tariff which will cover the difference
between the 'cost of production of Egyptian cotton
and American long staple cotton, our cotton will be
held to the price of the former.
Ho, there is nothing more vital to the growers
In this county and state, of long staple cotton than a
tariff on cotton. Now, who would bo likely to be
rnoro influential in procuring that tariff Governor
Campbell or Governor Simms? The cotton growers
need not answer that question now. Let them answer
it at the polls two weeks from today.
To Lawyers
We are asking a hypothetical question, rather
two of them In one, as will be perceived. Wo want
answers only from those learned in the law, and not
horso-back opinions based on individual theories of
right and wrong. The answers will not be vital. They
will only tend to satisfy our curiosity.
We will suppo.se that A, H and C are Indicted,
tried, convicted and pent to prison for having entered
Into a conspiracy to corrupt 1), the corruption taking
lie form of bribery or attempted bribery, to refrain
from filing a referendum petition "gainst a referred
r initiated measure; that after the conviction and
in ar -oration of A, H and C fur this crime, it is
e-!.i!linlied by the highest court, that the referendum
i i 1 1 I riot I ave been invoked acainst this measure;
anv action I) it unrorrupti-d mij;l,t l.ae taken,
would have t'cf'i futile and of no efroct. We will also
U -pose that it l.ad been held and fully estahli.-lied
th.it A. I! ,n; I t" . I..i!u-r m'.;:t ha e been their
i ...i,n..l i, it ii t . w ere pn:ttd by these circum
stances from the commission of the Intended crime.
Now, would they be automatically released by the
decision that they had failed in spite of their inten
tions, to commit a crime? If not, how could they be
freed except by an executive act granting them par
don? We are offering no prizes for answers, for as we
have said, we desire this Information only for the
satisfaction of our curiosity and we cannot afford to
pay out good money merely for pampering a lively
curiosity.
The traffio ordinances prescribe a maximum rate
of speed, which Is very well so long as It is ob
served. But there should also be a minimum rate.
More Inconvenience is caused and more frequent col
lisions provoked at crossings by those who loaf
along the business streets at four or five miles an
hour. If people want to drive at such a rate let
them go out along the country roads and leave the
business thoroughfares to those who have business
on them.
Where Do We Go From Here?
We have Just received from the so-called "Na
tional Non-Partisan Political Campaign Committee"
of the American Federation of Labor a copy of an
article by Sampel Gompers to be printed in the No
vember issue of the American Federatlonlst urging
members of the federation and voters generally to
support Govenor Cox on the ground that he Is the.
angel of progress as opposed to Senator Harding, the
devil of reaction.
v We cannot follow the paper of Mr. Gompers along
all Us intricacies but are struck by his reference to
what he regards as the slogan of Senator Harding
uttered in his speech of acceptance. "Back to Nor
malcy," which the labor leader declares to be the
slogan of reaction.
It appears to us that In our present situation the
first thing we need to do is to get our bearings, to
ascertain precisely where we are and if we are not
where we ought to be, then we can intelligently set
out toward a well defined and well-considered des
tination. -If we- are already on the right road then it is
our plain duty to go ahead and not backward. But
if we are in the wrong road further progress will only
involve us in greater disaster. The only thing then
for us to do is to go back along the trail until we
, come to the point at which we diverged from the
right road. Then we may make rear progress.
Does Mr. Gompers think we are just now where
we ought to be? Are we on the right road which we
should pursue? And if not, is it his notion that we
should strike out blindly to the right or the left,
"cutting for trail" in the Uncertain hope that we may
find the right road?
If Mr. Gompers believes any of these absurd
things we do not think the average man of good
sense believes them. We are sure that things are not
as they ought to be; that they are not as good as they
were; that whatever our position might have been,
four, six or ten years ago and whatever need of
change there may have been at any "of those periods,
our position is worse now. That plainly shows that
we have been on the wrong road and have already
traveled it too far. A great majority of the Ameri
can people are not fool enough to go further aldng it.
The people favor progress and they do not favor
reaction, but they demand that the progress shall be
intelligently mad and all of us will cheerfully en
dure reaction when it means the going back over a
wrong trail which has brought us to the brink of a
precipice or to an impassable morass.
It has been a curse of the United States for the
last twenty-five years, the affliction by theorists,
idealists, visionaries and doctrinaires, half baked,
loud'nouthed and wild-eyed, clamoring for progress.
Ignorant of their whereabouts; paraphrasing Dante:
"In this the midway of their political life
They found them in a gloomy toad, astray.
Gone from their path direct."
We now want to get back to some well-known
point, upon some solid foundation, to take stock and
get our bearings. Then we can set forward with as
surance that we are not rushing along in a blind
alley.
We do not want to follow the direction of these
excitable and excited persons some of whom are
pointing to this distant landmark, some, to that and
some to still another, all widely separated, as lying
on the road progress. Let us rather find where we
left the road, and then advance.
The man who said "Hitch your wagon to a star,"
was not giving aviators advice as to parking aeroplanes.
We must not forget that this land department

that be some Investment?
AN INCH
Long years ago it was said that an added inch
didn't matter much unless it was tacked onto the
nose. '
Which, of course, is far from the truth of the
matter. An Inch, more or less, often is all the dif
ference between life and death, between joy and sor
row, and between getting Into West Point and not
getting In.
Wrhlch brings one around to the war depart
ment's military academy inch. It used to be that a
would-be West Pointer had to measure 65 inches if
he was 18 or over. For the 17-year-old but 64 Inches
of height was asked. This, naturally, kept many a
Grant and Lee and Pershing out of shoulderstraps.
In recent years it dawned upon the general
makers that it took more than mere inches to manu
facture a war commander gray matter and courage
were found more needful.
So the bar has been lowered. Secretary Baker
slices an Inch off, and candidates may get by with
64 Inches. This is promising. Some day it will 'be
decided that mere Inches count no more in an army
uniform than in an engineer's overalls, a banker's
. cut-away, of a. statesman's frock coat.

OFFICIOUS OFFICIALS
Secretary of State Colby has barred from his
presence at conferences with newspaper men two
representatives of the press at Washington.
These men are barred because they accused
Colby' of using' the Conferences with the newspaper
men as a means of inspiring the press with views of
his own.
This sounds strange in America, dedicated to
democracy, freedom and the right of the humblest
citizem to criticize the highest official." It recalls an
outworn European offense known as "lese majeste."
It rayons of the time when "the king could do no
wrong." It is reminiscent of czars and redolent of
kaisers.
If these newspaper men print untruth about
Colby, he has his remedy at law. If they print in
decencies or libel or any other thing that oversteps
the bounds lawfully set down on the statutes the
lemedy is in the courts.
The day of "lose majeste'" is done with. Offi
cious officials who think otherwise must be taught.
The choice of a Republican adminis
tration by the voters of the United
States means the coming of an era of
friendly co-operation and good will on
the part of this country toward Mex
ico, not intervention and misunder
standing, is the direct message which
Senator Warren G. Harding, the Re
publican nominee for president, au
thorized Dr. A. I. Gustetter of Nogales
to bring back with him to the citizens
of the border states.
The massage was entrusted to Dr.
Gustetter at a meeting which he had
with the coming president in Marion
on Tuesday, October 12. It was made
in response to an urgent plea that
Mexico is the door of opportunity to
the commercial interests of the United
States but that every effort was being
made by Democratic papers and speak
era to convince the 100.000 naturalized
Mexican citizens of the United States
that Republican success meant war in
Mexico.
Senator Harding was advised of the
great interest which Mexico feels in
his purpose and tht it is the desire of
the west coast, as expressly authorized
to be stated to the senator by Gov
ernor Borquez of Sonora, that Mexico
be given the sympathy and support of
the United States so that reciprocal
neighborly relations socially and in a
business way might be resumed with
mutual benefit.
The Republican nominee was quick
to respond to the. invitation to express
his interest in the development and
peace of the. sister -republic to the
south. He declared his very great
sympathy for the country in her effort
to rebuild and cave the Dositive as
surance that if e!eeti his administra
tion could be counted upon to do
everything possible to aid in the prog
ress of Mexico.
Appreciates Obregon
The senator remarked, that he had a
high appreciation of the statesmanship
of President-elect Obregon and of his
purpose to lead Mexico forward indus
trially and economically.
In the course of his remarks, he
promised Dr. Gustetter that he would
make it plain during his trip through
Tennessee and Kentucky, which he
was then about to start, that Repub
lican success means a policy of frater
nal helpfulness in Mexican affairs, not
' intermeddling and irritation.
Senator Harding remembered hi
promise, for in several speeches in the
few days following he referred to the
situation 'as' regards Mexico" exactly
along the line of the assurance which

In that fight the iJemocrats were
aided and abetted by two eastern Re
publicans, and their victory was due in
great part to Matthews S. Quay and
Don Cameron, senators from the rock
ribbed Republican state qZ Pennsyl
vania. Quay was to figure greatly in
the coming events. He had elected
Harrison over great difficulties, and he
naturally supposed that he was to be
rewarded for his efforts in the manner
that politicians are ever rewarded. He
found to his surprise that Harrison
credited Providence and not Quay with

XVIIIs-THE CUEVELAND-HARRI-SON-WEAVER
RACE OF 1892
By Frederic J. Hatkin
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Oct. 18 The
Democratic landslide of 1892 which
placed Grover Cleveland for t'-ie second
time in the presidential chair marked
the failure of the most extraordinary
efforts ever made by any party to per
petuate itself in power. When the Re
publicans came back into their own
after the end of the first Cleveland ad
ministration, they left no stone un
turned, so far as legislation was, con
cerned, to make their power absolute
and to prevent the possibility of an
other Democratic president.
The first thing the Republicans did
under the Harrison administration was
to admit six new states to the Union,
thereby subjecting themselves to the
charge that they sought to assure their
party of twelve additional Republican
senators and 20 additional votes in the
electoral college. The house of repre
sentatives was Republican by a very
narrow margin. The Democratic mem
bers were unseated by wholesale to
give their places to Republican con
testants, without regard to the merits
of their claims.
Then followed the attempt to enact
the Force Bill. Its authors and pro
ponents called it the Federal Election
bill, but it was so odious to the ma
jority of the people of both parties that
the name applied by the Democrats
stuck to its longest. This bill provided
that all elections for Federal offices,
that is. representatives and presidential
electors, should be i.:iccr the direct
control of the federal covcrnment.
That meant "carpet-bas" returning
bayor.e'.s of federal soldiers and pi.-toN
of federal deputy marshals, and a "solid
south" which would have. been solidly
Republican. The fact that the negroes
were not permitted to vote freely, or
that their votes were not counted, was
the principal argument used for the
bill, and the only argument which gave
the cause a shadow of Justification.
Beating the Force Bill
The Force bill was passed by the
house and went to a Republican senate.
There the absolute freedom of unlimited
debate gave the Democrats a chance to
fight the majority. The Republican
senators from the far west were not
heartily in sympathy with the Force
bill advocates. The western Republi
cans had long since ceased to wave the
"bloody shirt" in compaigns. and the
westerners had not known the bitter
ness of armed conflict. The Democrats
held caucus after caucus and decided
upon their plans with the greatest care.
t was a matter of life and death to
them, and they knew it.
Southern senators of the old "rebel
brigadier" type men of culture and
polish were assigned, man for man, to
pay court to the rougn diamonds of the
west who were their colleagues on the
other side of that chasm marked by the
center aisle of the senate chamber. The
talk went on unceasingly for days and
nights. The whole country was dis
cussing the probability or the senate's
adopting a cloture rule to limit debate.
Finally, about 3 o'clock one mornine.
Senator Daniel of Virginia left his
crutches in the cloak room and shuffled
on the floor. Senator Vest of Missouri
was speaking. He baa neen speaking
for l ours and hours. Daniel whispered
to him It's all riffht, we have enough
votes to boat it. Senator Stratford of
California is with us." "Iet me finish
my speech," said Vest. And he went
