|ORPHEUM PACKED ID DOORS; l DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENTS MADE
(Continued from First Page. }

Continued iron sentence. When the Colonel was
 through with him, he had no more to say, and the speakers wene not dis
 turbed throughout the remainder of
 the evening. Chairman o'Connell
 called attention to the fact that dur
 ing the recent Cameron meeting the
 Democrats had given them a respect
 ful hearing, and suggested to those
 who might want to interrupt, that if
 they did not agree with the speakers,
 to register their sentiments in the bal
 lot box on the third of next month.
 The hearty applause which greeted
 the conclusion of the presiding of
 fcer's remarks showed that he had
 struck a responsive chord in the au-
 dience, regardless of their party af- filiations.
 Frank Cox, for eight years district
 attorney of Maricopa county, and one
 of the leading, as well as one of the
 most brilliant attorneys in the terri
 tory, had his audience from the be-
 ginning. It is to be regretted that
 for the benefit of those who were not present that both his speech and that of Henry F. Ashurst can not be given in full. 1t is seldom that such an ar
 ray of logic, wit, facts, figures and an
 absolutely unanswerable argument
 are presented to an audience. Cox
 presented such an enumeration of the
 many things done by Arizona's
 delegate to congress that his hearers
 were dumbfounded. Surely there was
 no fairminded man in the audience who after hearing him, and his success sor, kshurst, who did not agree with him that the questions asked by lead CTS in the Republican party, who are in a position to know Smiths record, and should know it before they make any assertions regarding it, as to what Mark Smith had done, are not sin cere.
 Don't you understand me-" was a question he used with telling effect when he had made, some telling and fiat-footed remarks, and was one that the audience caught up and respond ed to with cheers more prolonged each time he used 1t. His loyalty to the Lone Star State, of which he is na- tive, and his original way of telling of his birth, education and love of her people, brought prolonged cheers from his hearers. a great many of whom were evidently from that state. He told of his love of Arizona, and re- minded ais audience of the fact that when Roosevelt chose the heroes oi the Spanish-AmeTican army, he pick ed the flower Of them from the plains and mountains of Arizona
 Cox paid his respects to those of his traducers who had attempted to dis credit him because he was interested In corporations, For this he stated plainly that he had no apology to make He stated, that ne was presi- dent of a s5,00O.O00 corporation in Maricopa and of another in CoconinC county. and that every dollar of his and his associates in the companies had been spent in developing the min eral resources of the territory. He stated further that tnere was not a corporation iu the world, nor any other thing or interest, that could in- luence him enough to cause him to do some of the things which had been done in the present campaign by some of the Republican promoters of Ralph Cameron's candidacy. He made special reference to Robert Morrison. He preceded his remarks with the statement that he was a. friend of Robert Morrison, that Morrison had his respect and friendship. But how a man who was a Christian, who got up at 6 o'clock. and went to mass, for which heS respeetads hirn., could go about the country asking what Mark Smith had done, he could not under stand. For. the speaker added. one Of the most gowing tributes which Smith had ever received was at the hands of Robert Morrison. NIT. Cox then pro ceeded to read, at requests from the audience, what Morrison had said upon his return from Washington after the defeat of the joint statehood bill.
