Tuesday the people of the United States presented in very pronounced terms their endorsement of the administration of the republican party, and their condemnation of the policies advocated by the dem ocratic party. All the states class ed as doubtful by the democratic managers went overwhelmingly re publican, and the old line states increased their majorities. Even the solid South gave signs of wav ering, and there was a threat of a break in the column by the defec tion of Tennessee, which was car ried for Parker by a greatly reduced , majority. The electoral vote of Missouri is claimed for Roosevelt. President Koosevelt is elected to succeed himself by the largest elec toral majority given in many years, and likewise by the largest popular majority. In Arizona the democrats have elected Mark Smith by his old time majority. At this writing the territory is conceded to Smith by 850 majority. Elsewhere will be found the result presented by counties, which is the latest known up to the hour of going to press. The result in Arizona is an in crease in the democratic majority of two years ago, which was then but 477. Four years ago it was more then 1,000. Santa Cruz county has converted a democratic majority of eighteen for the head of the ticket two years ago to a re publican majority of seventy-one. The democrats claimed the county by seventy-five. Upon the county ticket the re publicans have been successful in great part. They have elected Fowler, sheriff, Bristol representa tive, O'Keefe. treasurer, Burgoon supervisor, Durfee surveyor, and Noon district attorney. All the democrats have saved out from the wreck are Schuckman supervisor, O'Connor probate judge, and Her old recorder. Having received the highest vote cast for supervisor Burgoon will get the long term and will hold four vears. Upon some of the successful re publican candidates the vote is perilously close, as, for instance, Fowler for sheriff who wins by a narrow majority of five and O'Keefe for treasurer, who has but fourteen majority. With ;t f.-vv ore, vided republican working against tlx ticket neither of the gentlemen named could have been elected; and a split in the party fiieh as was threatened for a time would have been fatal to the entire ticket. During a period of ten years Tub Oasis has been counseling and ad vising harmony among republi cans. Where the vote is so close as in Santa Cruz county there is but one way for the party to hope to win, and that is by giving due consideration to all element hav ing any strength. There can be no crowding out of the band wagon, which has been unfortun ately the disposition shown by some republicans in the past. It was manifested early in the work of aligning the party for the cam paign just closed. But wiser coun sels prevailed, the ticket was fram ed to give consideration to every element that wanted recognition, and the management of the cam paign was put into the hands of one of the most thorough organ izers and accomplished po)itical managers in Arizona, Doctor Ray Ferguson, who was aided and sup ported by an executive committee consisting of republicans of exper ience and unswerving fealty. And their work was supplemented by work of scores of others. Never was there a more energetic, effec tive and harmonious organization. Each man was a worker and all contributed to his utmost to the glorious result attained. Nor should this congratulatory article be closed without recogni tion of the good work done by many earnest democrats who unit ed to work against gang rule, and assisted in winning the victory for careful and economical govern ment in Santa Cruz county. Many different influences contributed to the gratifying result, without one of which the fight would have been lost. No one can claim all the victory, but many can lay claim to having been pivotal points. The Fowler Club, Mr. John T. Brickwood president, also accom plished excellent service, and are deserving special mention, while the Fowler Glee Club, with their campaign songs were a host in themselves. And to Doctor Ferguson, chair man of the republican county com mittee the greatest credit should be given. He has shown himself a superb organizer and masterly manager. His equal would be hard to find an y where. A LAME AND IMPOTENT CONCLUSION. Last Saturday the Daily Effort presented a communication from the secretary of the Nogales Water Company, Mr. R. D. George, set ting forth the company's new sources of water supply and its constant effort to meet require ments and demands of the public. Editorially the Effort plaintively approved of the communication, and mildly promised to offer a few suggestions in another issue. And that M the end and j eonehHion of all th" hree on-j slaught- by the Effort upon (he No-j g.iJe WVcr Company, and upon the 'i!H' and The Oah, with its tierce advocacy uf a municipal water works. What the cause of this sudden change? Why abandonment of the ferocity leveled at the Water Company in the columns of the Daily Effort'! Why abandonment of the strongly advocated issue of bonds for a municipal water works? Has Buttinski concluded to "stand in with corporations?" Has he found too great the ob stacles to be overcome before such a system could be adopted? The Oasis has not yet begun to enum erate the many obstacles. (Yet in time they might be all overcome). Has he found that when he caught up a poker to belabor The Oasis that he caught hold of the hot end? Or has the water company "seen him?" All these are pertinent in quiries. And what a lame and impotent conclusion. The democratic combine which has mismanaged Santa Cruz coun ty so long was terribly jarred on Tuesday. Two years hence the re maining remnant will be swept off from the face of the earth. The people of the United States would not listen to the democratic proposition to scuttle out of the Phillipines. No party advocating such a policy can ever succeed in the United States. Althouh he went down in de feat himself R. H. Clarke carried the ticket to success. The straight republican votes himself and sons worked all day to get into the bal lot, hax wflro what, did it. The question now is: "How many of the alleged "doubtful" states were really doubtful?"

Thk people of the United States have conclusively shown that they will not permit the flag to be hauled down in the Phillipines. One of these days the ''safe and sane democracy will come over to republicanism, and then the coun try will be unanimous Like Mercutio's wound Fowler's majority for sheriff "is not as deep as a well, nor as wide as a barn door; but it will suffice." The blame is all laid to the Fowler Glee Club. They simply sang the voters into voting the straight republican ticket. Tuesday wasn't much of a day for republicans in Santa Cruz county, was it? Come to think it over the way Fred Noon distanced Duffy was a paralyzer. Say! But what a splendid job of work Fred Noon did for the straight republican ticket atTubac! Had Con O'Keefe been running for office in an automobile his speed could not have been greater. And Delos Durfee got there with both feet. Oh! Myl! slide?
