Alford Warriner Cooley is disappointed Theodore Roosevelt will not be able to visit Silver City, Arizona, during his Western trip. Hopefully, spring will bring improved health, permitting him to accept Roosevelt’s invitation to the Grand Canyon. He is interested in what the Democrats will do with their opportunity and comments on the ridiculous nature of political parties. Voting for the proposed constitution of Arizona is forthcoming. Cooley predicts it will be adopted by a substantial majority and favors Dave Leahy as governor.
