OTHER BRIEF ADDRESSES


 lt was the most recherche and lady-like affair ever pulled of In Bis bee. Reference is made to the open ing of the state republican campaign in the Warren district last night. And it must be admitted that as po- liteal meetings go. it was as success iul as 1t was recherche.
 In spite of the rain which had been falling for some hours. the Orpheum was crowded, literally to the doors. Women and children were standing near the entrance throughout the long speaking.
 Before the appearance Of the can didates. the stage was occupied by the Copper Queen band. which played so long without intermission that one man who protended to know about music said that it played an entire opera. He was not sure whether it was Cayaleria Rusticana. but it was something easily as long.
 It was played so well, however. that when il was concluded the crowd yell ed for more. Some attention was paid to ornamentation. A table in the center of the stage was piled high with chrysanthemums, white, red and parti-colored.
 But at length the candidates came and the band retreated The drop curtain was lowered in order that the audience might not be annoyed by the shifting of the scenes, and when it was again raised it disclosed the following gentlemen: Judge E. w. Wells. candidate for governor; Ralph II. Cameron and Hoval A. Smith candidates for United States senator; J :. Williams. candidate for repre- sentative in congress: w. <. Sturgis and F. :. De Pass candidates for corporation commissioner, and C. A. Mauk, candidate for auditor. all of whom arrived in the city yesterday morning. and Judge Fletcher M. Doan, candidate for supreme court judge, who arrived last evening
 Besides these gentlemen there were all the county candidates and several local republican leaders.
 Joseph l. Morrison assumed con trol Of the proceedings and in brief speech introduced Judge Wells. re ferring to his long residence in Ari zona
 The address Of Judge Wells was mainly the talk Of a business man. He declared himself in the beginning in favor of home rule and said that if elected governor his message to the first legislature would contain a recommendation for the immediate submission Co the people of an amend ment to the constitution providing for the recall of the judiciary.
 The rest of his address related chiefly to the economic needs of the new state and the encouragement of capital for the development Of the resources Of Arizona. Before COnclud. ing he took mp the state and congress sional tickets of the republican party and commended all the members tO the favorable consideration of the voters
 Delegate Cameron was next intro duced His address was an impas- stoned one in which he resented the charge Of treachery to the territory in the matter ol his attitude toward the constitution after it had been sent to Washington. Mir Cameron said that with the passage Ol the en sblng act he had redeemed his proIN ise of three years ago 10 the voters but he was yet anxious for the con summation of statehood He had eX- pressed no opposition to The const tution until it became evident that in the form in which it had been trans mitted to congress and the president there was no hope of it's approval When he realized that, he said, he had pursued tine only course open e him or to any one sincerely desiring statehood and urged the elimination of the recall provision as applied tO tho judiciary.
 Mr Cameron was followed by Mir Smiil lie f C-. of his time in expressing his approval oi the course Of Mr. Cameron and then he spoke at some length Of his own knowledge Of the needs of the new state and believed that in the capa city of United States senator be could present those needs in such manner as would be effective.
 The next speaker was Dad Sur ces. the Pima county cattle king whose happy address maintained the good humor of the crowd. He was followed by F. $. De Pass, alsC candidate for corpuration commis sioper. George Msuk explained brief ly why he should be state auditor.
