INSIDE FACTS ABOUT THE SENATE SUICIDE Phoenix, June registration bill wag passed by the senate today end the primary bill still is in conference. A feature of the session was a fight to prevent the passage of a biU providing the submission of the constitutional amendment to annul the emergency clause of the constitution. Senator Wood, of this county, charged the supporters of the bill with trying to square themselves with constitutents for the repudiation the referendum principle early in the regular session. When an effort to lay the bill on the table was defeated Davis also of this county offered woman suffrage amendment as substitute but president Cuniff declared it out of order.

Then the point was raised that the emergency amendment did not come under the call. Cuniff did not decide the point and the bill by a ma- IS YOUR' STOMACH BAD? Then neglect it.

Today governor Hunt sent to the senate the name of Lamar Cobb to be state engineer. Cobb is a resident of Clifton ana was a candidate for the nomination for congress on the Democratic ticket. Hunt Sign.s Governor Hunt today signed 14 bills, including the bank controler bill, pure food bill, tax levy bill, juvenile court bill and a bill creating the office of state engineer. Others provided for appropriation for various offices ana departments. A large number of petitions was received today at the office of secretary of state asking for a vote on the women suffrage amendment.

It is practically certain this proposition will be voted on at tho coming election. I Hunt signed other bills, as follows: Providing for a meter inspector; ap- I propriating money for salary to pay I the secretary; appropriation for a board of health; appropriation to I pay for printing the session laws; a bill taxing surety companies; a bill forbidding collection of court fees from state and county; a bill providing for a tax commission or corporation commis- sion, and a bill making appropriation for a land commission. An attempt was made last right to rush through the senate, under a sus- pension of the rules, a new bill provid- ing for the submission of a constitutional amendment extending the referendum to the emergency law. Under the constitution, the bills passed by a two-thirds vote and carrying emergency clauses become immediately operative and are not subject to a veto by the electorate. The proposed amendment, which is contained in the bill bearing the name of senator Kinney, of Gila county, i would permit the law to become im- mediately operative, but would permit I its annulment any Ume by a vote of 1 the people.

Senator Davis, of this county, made a fight against the bill and prevented its immediate consideration, so it went over until today. A bill was introduced in the house which provides that church and lodge corporations be exempt from the provisions of the law providing for the payment of an incorporation fee. A new bill in the senate, which was pased under a suspension of the rules, relieves the clerk of the board of control of a part of his duties and transfers them to the auditor and treasurer. I Governor Hunt has signed bills as i follows: Providing an appropriation I for a land commission; providing that I no fees shall be charged against state, county and corporation commission or commission in cases to which they I are parties; for the collection of tax from surety companies; appropriation for state board of health and registrar of vital statistics; appropriation to pay the salary of the secretary; to provide for meter inspection.

No bills were passed in either house. Reason for Senate Suicide Hill. It is only just now, but it is none the the less interesting for having been delayed, that the real motive behind the bill, as it is popularly known, or in other words the bill providing for a constitutional amendment providing for the abolition of the upper house of the legislature, has come to light. And the facts have become known through the revelations made by two members of that august body. The men back of the bill, it must be explained, are senators Worsley and Roberts, whose name it bears: senator Sims, who, with Roberts, is from Cochise county, and senators H.

R. Wood and M. G. Cunniff, of Yavapai county, llere is the story: The only man who has been open and above board in giving his real reason for supporting the bill is Worsley. Worsley calls himself a Democrat, but lie believes 1n government ownership, the community of interest idea, and all the other socialistic notions, including the abolition of senates.

But with the other senators it is different. The scheme is not, in fact, a scheme to abolish the senate, except in name. Under the plan there would be simply a legislature, consisting of one house, and the plan is to weed out all the so- called weaker members of the lower body and substitute in their stead the of the upper branch, meaning the men back of the senate bill. These men, it is stated on the highest possible authority, have planned to be elected to the legislature and to control the legislative affairs of the state when there should be but one house. Tnesa were their private arguments, though as a matter of course these were not the arguments used when the bill was up for debate.

Then they said the senate was unnecessary under the of government; that it is a sort fifth wheel to the government wagon; and that an immense sum cuuld be saved the taxpayers by its abolishment. It was also argued that this is the best possible time to do the work It v. as pointed out that there is already considerable bad feeling between the house and senate, and it was believed that if the bill were presented the house would swallow the bait and proceed to adopt the bill under the belief that it was one on the other legislative body. House Catfhes On, But it chanced that the house heard of the scheme. Probably it would not liavq passed the bill under any circumstances, although a good many of the members in that body are in favor of It.

But yesterday the facts in the case became known to the house and then it was all off. So, it may be set down that Arizona will have to worry along with two legislative bodies for the present at least. It is beginning to look much as though tliere will be an equal suffrage election this fall. And, as was to have been expected, considerable politics will be injected into the proposition. The suffrage fight in Arizona is not a new one.

It dates back to the time of the Arizona constitutional convention when there was an insistent demand on the part of the suffragists from all parts of the stae that a constitutional amendment provision, giving to women the right of voting, be submitted separately and voted on at the time of the ratification The advocates of this proposition contended that since tin: convention had pledged itself to the referendum principle it was its duty to make such separate submission if the members of the convention believed in suffrage or not. But the proposition was rejected by the delegates, notwithstanding the fact that the referendum principle had already to all intents and purposes been made a part of the constitution. That ended the matter until tho regular session of the legislature. Then a bill providing for a suffrage amendment was introduced and went through the house. It was defeated in tho senate, however, by a bare majority.

It was believed in some quarters that that ended the fight, but on the contrary the demand for an unrestricted ballot is still very much alive. In fact, it is more alive right now and has better chances for success than at any time since the propaganda was begun. Will lie Fall Hallot. It has been definitely decided that a proposition for an amendment giving this privilege to women will be on tho ballot at the election this fall. It will be placed there through an initiative petition.

The plan has just developed, although there has been more or less talk along this line for several days. Now, however, the. plans are ripening through the efforts the State Suffrage association and so much discussion lias been provoked by the movement that the politicians are beginning to take notice. This is the really interesting part of the affair. Not only have the politicians begun to take notice, but it begins to look as though it will be sanctioned by all of them.

The Republicans have already been talking about suffrage as a Republican asset, and some of them have declared that with a demand for an unrestricted ballot in their platform they will have a good chance to carry the state at the coming election. But it seems unlikely that they will have a monopoly of suffrage as a campaign issue. The Democrats have taken counsel of expediency and are more than likely to endorse the proposition themselves. The socialists in Arizona have always been in favor of suffrage and will declare for it as a matter of course. Chance to Win Easily.

In the light of these circumstances, with all three parties in its favor, it would seem that suffrage would be sure to win. But that is by no means certain. In fact, the chances seem to be, as one views them now, it would go the other way. And the reason is that the business men generally are opposed to the proposition. However, it cannot be said suffrage would be defeated.

It is more than likely to win in this county, where there is a different class of voters from most of the other parts of the state, but in the mining sections it probably will not 1)0 so well received. With the signing of the election bill by governor Hunt, politics, which is never quite quiescent in Arizona, is beginning to show signs of considerable activity. Already several names are being discussed as probable candidates and more will be sprung within a short time. Opposition to Hunt. There is no sort of doubt that governor Hunt, at least, will have to tight for a renomination.

This may be true also of some of the other state officers, but it is certain so far as Hunt is concerned. He will have at least one candidate in the field against him, maybe two, and possibly three. The man who is regarded as certain to run against him is Dr. II. A.

Hughes, of this city. Hughes was in the race last fall for a time. He entered late, however, and withdrew before the end of the contest. But at that he received quite a. respectable number of votes, although he had announced two weeks before the balloting that he was out of it.

Worsley and Hunt are as one on manvpolitical while Hunt has built up an effective machine and would have that immense advantage, he would find Worsley, if the latter should decide to run.

no mean antagonist. Worsley is as socialistic as Hunt and is posseseed of vastly more ability. lie has had vast experience in campaign work and some of his frienas confidently assert can pull down the nomination if he decides to make the race. The third man on the list is Reese rvi. Ling, national committeeman, and one of the candidates last fall for the nomination for United States senator.

Bing is a conservative and by all odds the best qualified man of the three for the position. The fact that lie is extremely strong in the north makes him formidable, and while he has never said openly that he would be a candidate, it is known that considerable work has already been done in his behalf. Ling wants to go to the senate and it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that he may decide to use the governorship as a stepping stone to that position.
