 MR. FOwLER's ADDRESS.
 When MT Fowler was introduced his reception amounted to an ovation. the cheering lasting several seconds He said that he had been touring the north Tor the past two weeks and that every date he filled. he realized it was bring ing him nearer home and the reception given him satisfied him that he was at home He spoke briefly regarding his work in Washington and in Arizo1a i1 behalf Of the great irrigation oJects now in course of construction but ar the same time calling attention to the fact that he did not claim .he credit for doing it all He had wos ked for two years at a personal sacriEce. but there are some of the best people in the world in the Salt River valley and but for their untiring aid and energy he could not have turned a wheel
 If am elected to con gress (and am going to be)~ said MT. Fowler. -I go to Washington to represent every section, every county and every munl- cipality in the territory. every man. woman and child. I wear no mans collar If ] go I will do everything ia my power for the upbuiiding Of Arf- zona-" MT Fowler paid a tribute to Air. Maxwell, and defended the attacks made on him because he received from he the irrigation work in the arid west He wished MT Maxwell could get more money from the same source so long as 1t was expended in the cause of ir- rigatioU- He refused to notice the ar- tacks that had been made on him stating that the people Of the valley knew him too well to make a defense necessary, and besides if there was any need Of such a thing he would leave the task to his friends. and if -hey- could not defend him he was truIy in a bad shape.
 MR. SMITHS PAST.
 MT Smiths public record was dis cussed, the speaker showing plainly that Arizona had received aid from the democratic nominee No appropri- ations and no public buildings had ev- CT been secured, and no effort had been made to get them The statehood quez- ton was not overlooked 1Ir FnuIcr stating very emphaticaIIy that he would never consent to the 5oininE of Arizona and New Mexico even lf v-e had to remain a territory for ff.- years His remarks showed that a stronger advocate of single statehood does not reside within the borders of the territory His record bears ont his statements.
 The applause during Mir F'ogrIsr-s talk was so frequent and SO hearty that it was plain to be seen that Mark Smith was not considered the proper man to represent Arizona. At the conclusion Of the meeting the eEfizens of Tempe rushed forward 10 shake fhe hand of the next delegate to conrress
 The only incident to mar the rlesz- ure of the trip occurred just as the special train was pulling out or Tamue when crowd of boys or men becau Stoning the train Some one threw a rock through the rear window Of Afr. Murphy's private car No other dam age was done than the treakfnr Of the glass 4 young man standing on The rear platform stated that the rocks were thrown by men. but it fs believed that boys were responsible. and thar smith adherents had nothing to do with it.
