IS DEMOCRATIC
 KEYNOTE
(From Sundays Daily)

! moving pictures attracted a large crowd and when the curtain rose with the stage filled to over-flowing with democratic candidates the house was most generous in it's applause
 Reese M. Ling, of Prescott, pre- sided and his introduetions were both brilliant and witty. In introducing Mark Smith, the first speaker, Ling told the story of the Garden of Eden and showed that the real reason Adam fell from grace was due to his democratic tendencies and that | he refused to be protectionist. Ling further stated that all the can didates on the platform were good democrats and were not in favor of protection.
 Mark A. Smith
 Mark A. Smith, democratic candi- date for the United States senate, was the first speaker. Smith seems to be failing in health and last night his voice was often so faint that he could not be heard in the back of the house. He admitted that the trials of the campaign were telling upon him and that his condition was far from good. After his speech he immediately left the stage. He em- parked upon a tirade against the re- publican party saying that that par ty had cost the United States more than the civil war, evidently for getting that many of the best citi- zens in the country today mourn the loss of loved ones who paid for that defense of their country with their blood and that nothing in the history of this republic has ever cost or ever can cost the terrible toll of the re- bellion.
 He explained the tariff from his point of view and said that the only reason the American workingman was better off than the foreigner was due to his greater ability and the fact that we are not so crowded as abroad. He failed to state where free trade would keep the native laborer from being crowded out by foreign labor. He asked for the votes of the audience on the ground that he had prevented the passage of the New Mexieo-Arizona joint statehood bill.
 The band played "Dixie" as Smith 1. took his seat. After this piece the band retired having failed to find any of the patriotic songs referring to the flags under which the candi- l dates were seated, in its repertoire.
 G. W. P. Hunt.
 Hunt was introduced as the man l who had written his heart into the constitution and immediately started | to lament the fact that most of the miners around Globe sent their mon- ey away and this was probably due to republican administration. He de- tended the recall of everything and everybody and said that he ran his business on the recall plan. He started as a delivery boy with this concern twenty-five years ago and was now its president but failed to state whether or not the recall was in effect while he was climbing the ladder.
 Carl Hayden
 Ling introduced Carl Hayden as a man who was to be recommended because he had been throwing stones at republicans ever since Ling had made his first visit to Tempe, twenty five years ago.
 Hayden made the best speech of the evening and vigorously attacked everything republican and defended everything democratic. He pledged himself for the recall of all officials the federal judiciary.
 Sidney Osborn
 The speaker said that it was nee esSary to have a few young men on the ticket and suggested that Sid Osborn was young enough to suit anybody. Whereupon the youthful candidate for the office of secretary of state rose to his feet and ad- dressed the audience as "folks," which put everyone in a nice soei- lble frame of mind and they ap- ,lauded vigorously when Sid sand he vas the father of the judiciary re- all in the Arizona constitution and wanted to be elected awfully bad. He old a tale which won him the sym
