 Not in the entire political history of Northern Arizona has there been such a magnificent demonstration as that which was accorded to the re- publican candidates for governor, sen ators and congressman at the big rally held last night at the Elks the ater. The entire audience which pack ed the theater from gallery to or chestra pit rose and stood at salute while the Elk's orchestra played the ''Stars and Stripes" and the three huge American flags on the stage stood as mute reminders of the great boon we are about to receive when we enter the Union and send men to Washington who will have an equal voice in the framing of those laws which will follow that flag to the ends of the earth and prove to all mankind that the greatest nation on earth will grant to every man the hOu-SANCh IASHJ lO say hON anu bs whom the laws under which he lives shall be made and enforced.
 The enthusiasm began with the grand ovation rendered to Judge Wells; it increased with fervor as Delegate Cameron spoke and related the great battle for statehood at Washington; it grew in volume with the speech of Hoval Smith and Joe Morrison and burst into a volcano of cheers during the eloquent address of the peerless Jack Williams of Cochise, the concluding speaker. And speak ing of Williams, there is the greatest speaker that Arizona has produced, With impressive personal presence, his matchless delivery, his dramatic force of gesture, his inimitable wit and above all his compelling magnet ism, he set his audience afire with enthusiasm and retired to his seat with hundreds of democratic votes inwardly pledged to him. His name was on every tongue after the meet ing closed, and were another meeting to be held tonight, the theater would be unable to hold the immense thrOng that would clamor for admission. MT. ! Williams enunciated the keynote of | the republican campaign when he de- I elared that he was in favor of the l recall of the judiciary-not in the 1 form as it was embodied in the Ari- i zona eOnstitution-but a recall where | by the man holding the office would | be given a square deal by not putting | other candidates against him on the ballot, and thus let the voters con | stituting a great jury solemnly de eide. his fate upon questions of fact instead of upon partisanship lines.
 Seated upon the stage were Lorenzo Hubbell, the prospective chairman of the republican central committee, next F. NJ. Murphy of Prescott, Joseph Morrison of Bisbee, HOval A. Smith, republican nominee for United States senator, Gorham Bray of Prescott, Major Doran of Prescott, Judge D. E. Parks of Prescott, Ralph Cameron, the man who obtained statehood for Arizona and now republican nominee for the United States senate, Jack Williams of Cochise, candidate for congressional representative and Judge Ed. W. Wells, Yavapai s foremost citizen and the next governor of Ari- zOna. In front of the semicircle was the speakers table presided over by Robert E. Morrison of Prescott
 Morrison in the following opening address fired the entire audience to pitch of appreciation and intensity which burst into a pandemonium of cheers and shouts when he mentioned the name of Judge Wells. Had the judge not risen to the occasion and after four minutes of deafening cheers arose and begged for silence the up- roar would have lasted no one knows how long.
 R. E. MorriSon's Speech.
