CAMPAIGN WILL
 BE SHORT ONE
Candidates Agree to Stump Cities of North in One Par ty for Cause of De-
 m0CraCy
FIRST DATE NOVEMBER 13

Short. lively and full of ginger will be the democratic campaign, accord ing to plans that were formulated at
 a recent meeting of candidates in Phoenix. lt is true that some of Jne candidates have already started ac-
 tual work and that others will do SO, but. so far as concerted action by all of the state candidates is conccfned
 the campaign will last less than a month In that short time much tray- cling will have 10 be done and meet ings every night, sometimes more
 than one crowded into the day, will
 have to be held It will mean stren-
 uous work while 1t lasts.
 On November l3 the campaign will
 be opened in the northern part of the new state. the first meeting to be held at Winslow This meeting will
 be addressed by the candidates for the senate. for congress and the va
 rious state officers. and from there
 this party will proceed to other north ern points, the candidates keeping together and speaking at each of such
 meetings. When the north has been covered it is probable that the can didates will divide into two or more
 groups and that the meetings in the
 central and southern portions of the
 state will become more frequent in
 all of the cities.
 At the meeting that was held in the
 office of George Purdy Ballard in
 Phoenix definite plans for the com ing campaign were outlined. At fireI there was some difference of opinion as 10 whether it were better for all of the candidates to keep together and to campaign in one party, to d. vide into several parties or to go to work individually. 1t was finally
 agreed that in the north at least bet ter results can be obtained by the candidates forming a single party The 1 reason advanced for this was that in the less thickly settled parts dt the state 1t will be easier 10 craw out large crowds if all of the candi- dates are present and that several meetings, addressed by different speakers might serve to make the caSl- 1 yass appear more energetic, but would ! result in smaller meetings and noJ : have so good an effect as fewer and more important ones. It will also I tend 10 minimize the expense of Sne T campaign. since buildings and halls : will not have 10 be rented so often, { and this expense therefore would be ! heavily cut IL is also possible that in | this way better rates Of transpOrta l tiou will be possible to be obtained. ] In the central and southern parts
 of Arizona where the population is more closely ceutered it is not so diff
 fcun to bring out crowds and it is | likely that for the campaign in those sections there will be several parties of candidates and speakers formed.
 Candidates are not the only ones
 who will be busy. for there is much committee work which will have to be
 done and done quickly. The state central committee must meet and or ganize, and al such meeting there 'Is
 to be a platform committee appoint
 ed which is 70 meet and formulate
 a platform the day following the meet ing Of the central committee, and it
 is advisable that this should be done
 as early in the campaign as pOssi EIe, True to a large extent under the direct primary plan each candi date makes his own platform, but the
