INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR DELEGATE
 CONGRESS,
KING s. WlOOLSEY, lection. Tuesday, November 5th, 1918.
Ben Morgan's Lecture.

According 70 announcement by handbill
 and through the subsidized paper tha
 cspouses the cause of Hon. Jno. c. Camp
 bell, MT. Benjamin Morgan, who came tC
 Arizona, undoubtedly, for the purpose oi
 running for Congress, spoke to large num-
 Der of citizens. mostly Woolsey and Dayis followers, on Saturday evening. MT. Nor gan is pleasant speaker and made the mos; of the lecture possible under the circum- stances. He was working for a lost cause and his heart was foreign to and not enlisted in the subject. He was the paid mouth piece of an unwhoIesome, repulsive object. He was working for fee, but we doubt very much whether he enlisted the enthusi- asm or changed the set mind of single ln- divldual present, except it were to cast their votes for Woolsey or Davis. MT. Morgan is new in Arizona and quite verdant as te the carly history and many little episodes that have taken place within the last four teen years, and before the learned advocate tries to teach "old timers" morals and bits of history. we advise him to go forth and diet his wandering brain by reading old files of the MINER, which tell of the heroic deeds of Woolsey and brave pioneers who passed through every privation. endured every hardship and worked without remuneration to redeem the country which IS now Q gem and being sought after, even by such dis finguished and learned men as Beri. Nor gan, Esq. If the spirits of the dead pio- neers who were slain by the hostile Indians could have come forth and responded to the belittleing reflections that the speaker at tempted To cast upon Col. Woolsey and others who avenged the murder of their companions who were slain upon every trail and road in the Territory, they would have cried out: "Shame upon you, Benjamin Morgan.''
 The speaker tried, regardless of truth, to place John C.. Campbell in the Mexican War! The war that the speaker had in his mind must have been in Scotland. He never fought in Mexico. He bolstered up MT. Campbell by trying to pull down Col. Woolsey, claiming that he sold his vote for the removal of the capital to Prescott on condition that the Yavapai delegation would send him 10 Congress. In this malicious charge he was refuted by Col. WOolsey who told him that he or any other person who made the assertion, told that which was false as hell itself.
 As for the little moral lecture to the | MINER, indulged in by the grandiloquent | Bombastes Furioso, it was like the froth on | the top of glass of beer-alI gas. We would advise Mir. Morgan tthis is gratuitous of course) to confine himself in the future | to expounding the law as set down by | Blackstone, Chitty or Bump oa Baakrwpicy. |
 It is strange what lively interest the | speaker takes in Mir. Campbell ali at once and what hatred to the man who led brave | men to the battle field, and who has always | proved true to every welfare of Arizona We are contented, however with the re- marks of the speaker, inssmuch as they made one hundred votes at least for King | S. Woolsey, Yavapai's friend: first, last and | at all times, and Arizona's next Delegate.
