 ] Judge Kingan ot Tucson is being talked by his republican friends as candidate for the supreme bench. Judge Kingan has not as yet express ed his sentiments or desires on this point, however.
 Judge E. T. Wells is another who is mentioned for gubernatorial honors.
 Isaac Taft Stoddard of Phoenix is reported to be an aspirant for gover- nor. Wonder if he will run on his l middle name?
 Captain Tom Rynning's statement that the mention of his name for governor was joke perpetrated by newspaper friend clears the field of one prospective candidate. Mark Smith ought to feel happy that the only attacks upon him come from an afternoon republican paper. Trying to queer Tom Weedin with the miners is the one big joke of the campaign. Tom has mined some him self.

 That pest, the soapbox orator, will have to be endured from now till day. It is too bad, but it's enc of the af1ictions that a free peo- pie must stand for. While there is no disposition to stop them there is consolation in knowing that one is not compelled to stop to listen tn them. For that reason they rarely incommode traffic and they amuse if they don't i'm struct.
