Many Candidates for Various

City Offices in the Field and

Other Possibilities Are Ru

mored. NEW ELEMENTS ENTER

THE POLITICAL RING

What will the Women Do?

Will the Bull Moose and

the Republicans Be Togeth-

er:

A

Some Predictions.

The city campaign has been launch

ed. It's every man for himst-lf and the

devil take the hindmost. That Is, there

are few party distinctions so early in

the city's bi-annual game of politics.

There is a particular scarcity of can

didates for the offices which mean all

work end no pay. On the other hand

there is an ample field of aspirants

for, practically, every office that has

my remuneration attached.

There are campaigns and campaigns

but this spring's performance promis

es to unearth many family skeletons,

r-any obscure places, all that is good

and, furthermore, a possible reconcili

ation of the Brotherhood of Standpat

ters and the Sisterhood of 'the Valiant

Moose. All of which does not mean to

imply that there will be any more per

sonalities indulged in than heretofore

but, considering the many varied and

perolexing elements, the affair has ev

ery indication of being the best billed;

the greatest feature of Chaplingesa

politics ever attempted in the City of

Bisbee.

In the first place, and that place

which does not vary much from year

to vear, the number of candidates has

neither decreased nor increased. It

a fact, perhaps, that there is a tri

fle more activity among the candidates

but the number is about stable.

On the other hand, however, there

are e'enients which will be encounter

ed this year that will bear heavily up

on the results and which will bear but

little prognosticating, inasmuch as

these elements are new and their ef

forts in a political campaign are un

known factors.

There's tl'O women!

As is true in art, literature, the sci

ence and even in war, the women in

politic? constitute a new factor and

though thpv voted at the last city

p'eMjon in Bisbee, yet their organiza

tions, their husbands, their sweet

hearts and their indignations had not

been utilized to the fullest extent,

either by themselves or their friends.

What will they do during the coming

spring campaign to "gum" the game,

as cherished and played by the an-,

cient and highly venered machine

system ?

The women, some say, and particu

li.'!y with reference to politics, have

n0 i Ift cf f ranization. Leave that

for the hort of platitudes Bprung at

'r t hr-ljer sessions of old time poli

ticians, for the showing made in the

general election, when the wet and

dry iFsue was under consideration

proved that either the women, or some

people who understood the feminine

mind, were extraordinary as organi

zers, i

It Is not expected that any of the

women's organizations in the city of

Bisbee will do any endorsing this

spring. But, mark us, you candidates

who may have decided opinions and

who happen to be Invited to attend

some conferences given by the fair I

sex, so prepared 'to "come through."

'There will be no equivocation with the

women. They want to know and the

man who tells then the most, and not

especially along the lines of hot air,

will get most of their support.

It is anticipated that the women

will go upon the one theory of law en

forcement. That they 'are a little un

reasonable and demand more than is

possible in this line may be conceded

but they want to know why. They de

serve to know why, and the ambitious

and self-preserving candidate will rack

his brain and, his encyclopedia for the

correct answer to the problems. There

are a few organizations, of women, al

ready making inquiries. They want

to know and, strange as it may seem,

Substantial Support for His

Program During the Present

Month of the Year.

KANSAS CITY. Feb. 2 The Presi

dent demanded that steps be taken

during the present month to back him

up in defending American lives and

commerce, abroad. His demand was

met with shouts of applause from an

audience of 16.000.' The big crowd

was for the President from the start.

I assure you there is not a day to

be lost." Wilson exclaimed. "It is not

because of any special crisis, but be

cause I do not know twenty-four boors

ahead what will happen. The future

does not depend on us but upon tha

commanders of ships and submarines

and upon many other men, big and lit

tle." ' '

The crowd cheered itself hoarse in a'

three minute demonstration when th

President appeared; 16.000 beard him:

20.000 were turned away: 10.000 tried

to catch a glimpse of him as he left

his hotel for the hall. Wilson said th

time had come for him to ask bis fel

Icw citt&ens to "get up on your hind

legs, talk and tell the people who rep

resent you what the nation desires and

demands. I have come to ask you

what is back of me in this. task of pre
