The republican state candidates. headed by Judge Wells. were given a royal reception by the republicans of Phoenix at the Third Avenue theater last night. the occasion being the final rally of the state campaign
 Tine theater was crowded JO the doors. standing room being at pre- premium. Rev. Robert $. Fisher pre- sided and in his opening speech made a number of pointed allusions tO some of the so-called democratic can 6idates that evoked salvos of applause and he was particularly happy in his choice of phrases in his speeches in- troducing the several speakers of the evening.
 A number of topical songs the bur- dens of which were the qualifications of the several candidates for the of fices they seek, were rendered by quartet and moving pictures and seV- era! wireless dispatches helped keep the great audience on the qui vive from the rising of the curtain till the going down of the same along about the time the last cars were headed for the suburbs.
 Judge Wells introduction as the first speaker of the evening was the signal for the most enthusiastic dem cnstration which has been witnessed
 in the Third Avenue theater during this never to be forgotten campaign and whether it was the inspiration of his cordial greeting or whether practice has made him perfect.
