Through some unanticipated change in his itinerary Hon. B. A.. Fowler, republican candidate for delegate to congress, appeared in Nogales Tuesday evening, Noyem- ber 1st; instead of Thursday even- ing, November Sd, as previously announced; the first intimation that there was change being in q letter from the chairman of the territorial committee at Phoenix, which was received Monday. No- tice of the change was hurriedly put out, and the public invited to assemble at Armory Hall Tuesday evening.
 Monday evening Mr. Fowler spoke at Yuma, and leaving there at midnight by continuous travel ing twenty hours. reached Nogales about S:30 in the evening of his appointment. He was met it the station by Doctor Ray Ferguson, chairman of the republican county committee, and several other prom inent republicans, and escorted to Armory Hall, where he found a large and enthusiastic audience awaiting him, being greeted with rousing cheers and hearty ap- plause as he appeared on the stage, shortly after the opening of the meeting.
 Mr Bird presided, and at the opening announced the following list of e-presidents:
 H. W. Kelsey, John W. Grant, pr. N. K. Noon, Earl Griswold, John T. Brickwood, W k. Sprecher Ramon Vasquez, George K. French, F. F. Chase, E. Baker. Dr. A. L. Gustetter. A. l.. Wood.
 The Fowler Glee Club appeared and rendered effectively several at tractive topical songs with local application. They were received with the most hearty and enthus- iastic demonstrations of approval The work of the GIee Club in this campaign has been decidedly strong feature, and has added i'm mensely to the enthusiasm. The Glee Clubincludes these gentlemen

 After the address of Mir. Dicker- man the Glee Club again enchained the attention of the audience, and their numbers elicited the most frantic and enthusiastic applause. Surely, the Glee Club is great.
 Then Mir. Fowler was introduced and through an hour and a half he held the close attention of the large audience-the hall was filled, and many were standing. His speech was plain, every day, but convincing talk, such as a man with good self-command would

Adoption of that amend ment would shut out all hope for consideration of the Santa Cruz and the rest of the projected schemes. and if applied to the two now under way would require two hundred years to realize sufficient money for their completion. To head off that amendment will re- quire work by an influential dele gate from Arizona, which Mir. Smith is not.
 Mir. Fowler called attention to the paucity of Mark Smiths re cord during his six terms in con- gress, at intervals extending over eighteen years, in which time he had not secured for Arizona one public building, nor had he heen identified with a single work of constructive legislation for benefit of the territory, advancing the broad proposition that delegate in political sympathy with the dominant party can accomplish much more in those important particulars than can one who has never accomplished anything, and whose record has been one of failure only.
 Coming to the question of state hood Mr. Fowler declared both parties in Arizona in accord in their opposition to joint statehood, and that to secure reversal of that policy adopted by the republican majority in congress, the most sure and certain way would be to send on ta Washington a republican delegate in congress. Mir. Smith proposed to defeat joint statehood hy going on to Washington and or ganizing a filibuster by the demo- cratic minority in the senate, which the speaker thought the most sure and certain way to force the issue against the wishes of the people of Arizona. Should Mir. Smith succeed of election, go to Washington and organize a filibus- ter, the republican majority in the senate would be sure to retaliate by forcing through the joint state hood bill. The republican major ity in congress were tired of the pestering they had received over the proposed admission of Arizona. For eighteen years the issue had been presented. Mr. Smith lays its failure upon republicans in com gress, but he does not tell how his statehood measure for Arizona failed in 1893, when both houses of congress and the president were democratic. The people of the east do not believe Arizona yet fitted and qualified for statehood. They say wait little longer, develop our resources, and population, and then statehood will come to us it. self. But Mr. Smith and Mir. Will son had insisted upon forcing upon the attention of congress statehood bills the majority are unprepared to accept. To dispose of the ques- ton and get 1t out of the way the house committee on territories had framed and passed the joint state. hood bill, and the measure is now before the senate. Mir. Smith can not defeat that bill by going before the senate and antagonizing the men who have the power to pass it. But Mir. Fowler, the antagon- ist of Mir. Smith, with the friend

 or senate at Washington. There was no effort at display or feryid oratory, but there was that true eloquence which proceeds from complete conviction and thorough mastery of the subject-the rarest and most effective kind.
 Opening with a short review of his life previous to coming to Arizona six years ago, Mir. Fowler related how he accidentally or providen- tially" visited the Salt River val ley, where he bought q ranche and his home. Tn his first season the ranche suffered from an insufficient water supply. as did ranchers of all his neighbors. The following season was worse, and the water users in the Salt River Valley or ganized the Water Users Associa- tion, to make an effort to alleviate the situation. Of that association the speaker was elected president, and in that capacity he had visited Washington to work in aid of en- actment of the national irrigation law, and to secure amendments thereto extending the benefits of it's operation to lands under pri- vate ownership as we'll as to land on the public domain. Working in conjunction with the National Irrigation Association, of which Mir. George H. Maxwell is chair manof the executive committee, the Water Users Association had been successful in the legislation sought. Then they had turned attention to securing appropriation of money from the fund created by the na- tional irrigation law; and they had succeeded in having three million dollars set apart for the Yuma project, and like sum for the Tonto Basin project, for re- clamation of the Salt River Val- lev. That fund is derived from the sale of public lands in the arid west, and it now amounts to about twenty-seven million dollars. So twenty-five per cent of the fund or thereabout, have been set apart for use in Arizona The estimated cost of the Yuma project is four million dollars, and the Tonto one three and one-half millions, and there will have to be another million and half afterward pro- vided to complete the two works, which is practically an assurance of more than one-fourth of the present amount of the fund
 There vet remain the Gila river, l the Santa Cruz. San Pedro, and other minor irrigation projects in 1 Arizona, ten in number, that have been surveyed by government en- gineers and approved by the inter- for department. Further legisla- ton will be necessary to secure ap- 1 propriations to carry out those projects. In his work before com mittees of the house and senate at Washington Mir. Fowler has made the acquaintance and secured the friendship of many senators and 1 rpnraSanfafivpS in hofh nartipS and he rightfully claimed that'he could compass more for Arizona than can Mark Smith with his twelve years of failure.
 Mir. Fowler called attention to the fact that the national irriga- ton law has many powerful en- emies in congress who are seeking it's emasculation or alteration in numerous ways. One amendment proposed, if adopted, would limit
