KIBBEY ISSUES CALL FOR REPUB.
 LICANS
(From Thursday . Daily)


 Governor Kibbey, acting as chairman of the territorial Republican central committee, Saturday issued the follow ing call for meeting of that body at the capitol building at 10 o'clock on inc morning of Auguse 1:
 July l+, 1906.
 Dear Sir The time for taking the preliminary steps for the organization of the Republican party for the en- suing November election, and the no imitation of candidates for delegate to congress, and for the various county and precinct officers is approaching. In addition to the election of these off cers will be at the same time the elcc' ton of delegates to convention 10 bo held hereafter at Santa Fe to fofmu. late a constitution for the proposed state of Arizona, made of the two ter ri,ovies of Arizona and New Mexico. lueTc VIII dlND Dt to 'uS NiN'- tors at that election the question whe- thcr they arc in favor of or are against the proposed jointure and the formation of the new state.
 All these matters combine io make our next election the most important that ever occurred in the territory. and one in which we as Republicans have a peculiarly great interest. Our conventions, both territorial and county, are consequently of more than ordinary importance.
 There is a greater reason than ever before that the Republicans should be prompt, aggressive, and earnest. The situation is full of encouragement. That for many successive campaigns the Republicans of this territory have after gallant fight, met defeat, should not, and think has not in any degree dampencd the ardor or weaken. ed the allegiance of the Republicans of the territory. It should serve, as it doubtless has served to stimulate them to even greater efforts.
 It has been my observation that we get into the field too late. It has been our experience that the time heretofore elnpsing between the selection of our new committees and the election is too short within which to form an efYec. tive organization. This fact is patent to you all.
 lt has been objected, and think the objection has been influential, that long campaign is expensive and fla. tiguing. l am quite confident that our short unorganized campaigns have resulted in an extravagant and waste. full use of money because of the want of time to complete an efficient organ. izntion. In hastily, and consequent. ly imperfectly organized campaigns there Is inevitably a waste of money. ] feel quite sure that with more time for thorough organization of the com. mittecs that the money heretofore spent in campaigns can be more eco. nomically and much more effectively used, and that in the aggregate there need be no more spent. l think that tt needs no elaboration 10 say that VI expended after proper organization can be made more efficient than Ao spent in the usual haphazarJ manner heretofore prevalent.
 The Republican party has no reason |" hesitate in going to the people this year; there is no excuse for timidity or want of confidence.
 There should, ] think, be Il meetino of the committee to discuss these pre. liminarics
 As chairman of the territorial Re. publican central committee. therefore, ! hereby call n meeting of that com. mittee to meet at Phoenix on the Ath day of August, 1906, at 10 o'clock n. m'' at the capitol building.
 ] should be greatly pleased ts have any suggestions from members of the committee in the meantime.
 With enthusiastic. courageous. and completely harmonious work W. c,n win.
 U you cannot attend, although it is urgently desired that you do so. please s''' your proxy to some one; if you do not care to name a proxy I enelos.
