climax last night when the largest crowd which has ever attended an in. door political meeting in the northern part of Arizona packed the .Elks Theater from pit to highest gallery. Many prominent democrats were in the audience and cbeered the senti. ments of the esadidatss .as they fesr. lessly discussed the live issues of the campaign and their relations to the essential development of Arizona.
 The audience sat intense and earnest, drinking in every word of the speak. CTS For too long a time the people of this county have been treated to buncombe vitupcration and they show. cd their appreciation of the oppor iunity of hearing campaign issues sensibIy and eleanly discussed. Ae- cording to many prominent politicians of both parties last nights meeting was the banner rally of the entire campaign.
 Robert F. Morrison presided throughout the evening and his clear voice, ineisive speech and unadulter. ated candor and vehemence added to the many friends already possessed by this brilliant orator. He referred to the fact that the opening gun of the campaign was fired from this very stage and that last night would be the last time that our national candidates would appear in the north.
 He said that with the exception of the administrations of Grover Cleve- land the republican. party had cared TOT the welfare of the United States since 1861; that during Cleveland's 's second term on account of political rather than scientific readjustment Of the existing tariff great havoc had been wrought among our sheep and cattle industries and the entire coun. try plunged into an era of financial depression.
 In 1896 William Mckinley again took the reins of government (great applause which lasted several min. utes) and since then the United States has forged to the front and today holds her enviable position in the circle of nations.
 He read a section from the speech of Reese M. Ling made Tuesday night. November 2sth, at Tucson. The speech is as follows; 1T was Ralph Cameron's attorney for four years and might tell you lots of things hut would not violate the ssnetity of the relations existing between client and attorney"
 Morrison bitterly scored this un- manly piece el dsstsrdly innuendo. He. said, "Bsstsr had he told the fssss is.tsad of indulging in this ssyss sf' ixnusndo, then the tales could Asve bean rsfuted, instead of leaving everything to a mans imsg-
 IAlph cameron.
 Cameron wac then introduced and amid wonderful outburst of ap- plause came to the front of the stage and delivered a speech which sur prised everyone and ably refuted the contention that the Coeonino states man, that Little Giant from the rim of the Grand Canyon, was not cap able of making himself heard and understood in any legislative body be it where and how great 1t may. He said in part:
 ''fn esming before you people l am showing that am not of . timid disposition. Regardless of the slan. ders which have been showered upon me I am here to stand on my record, nothing else, and I want you to jndge me on thst.
 IL is not fitting for n senatorial candidate to answer the type of men who have been slandering me (great applause). leave it to the judgment of you people who have known me SO long.
 "A few years ago Henry Ashurst while making . speech at Bisbee, said: Cameron is one of Natures noblemen, I would give him the shirt off of my back But at that time Henry Ashurst was not a candidate for the United States senate and he is today.
 "If there 10 any lawyer who. has had anything on me during the past twenty years, want him ts print 1t in every newspaper in the territory tgrsst applause). It is' Mng's duty as an American sitissn to come out and tell the trstA saA As Aas ny per
