STATE CANDIDATES APPEAR EN MASSE
 BEFORE VOTERS
The LiveIieSt Meeting of the Primary Campaign Last
 Night
SHORT SNAPPY SPEECHES

The speeches by the democratic candidates last night were short, snappy and well received. The audi enee was a good one and was at al times in good humor. The beginning was not entirely suspicious for Hon. | C. ". P. Hunt who is seeking the | nomination for governor had Q good deal Of trouble getting the subsidized press out or his system. In fact he | did not quite accomplish it though he made numerous attempts, but be- tween those efforts he succeeded in ! presenting his claims in a very pleas ing manner. It appears that MT. Hunt ! eXaggerates the villainy of the press 1 and that he would make better henG- way if he took a more roseate view | of his journalistic surroundings or shut his eyes to them altogether. Having been president of the con | stitutional convention. Mr Hunt nat urally devoted much Of his time to the work Of that body and it's results as | expressed in the constitution which. he said. was the ablest work ever thrown from the brain Of man. It's merit had been recognized not only | by eighty per cent of the voters who attended the constitutional election. Its fame had spread far beyond the confines Of the territory and had pen | etrated foreign lands Missionaries whom he had met on his various l journeys 70 Washington had told him that it was almost a household word in China, carried thither by bright | young men of that country who had been sent all over Inc world to seek out the best things in the way of government This statement of Mfr. Hunt offers a possible explanatio>- Of the present revolution in the prov. inees Of Sze Chun and Hu Pah, threatening the very existence of the empire. It was little thought by the small. devoted band which gathered at Phoenix a little more than q year ago that it's efforts would produce such far reaching effects-and so quick
 Mir. Hunts tribute 10 the pioneers was well received and his descrip ton of his own struggles struck 2 sympathetic chord. MT Hunt ad. Yised, as most of the members of the convention. who are candidates for office do, that the carrying into effect of the principles of the constitution be left to the men who are most familiar with it. 4 man who make. a tool ought to know better how to work with it.
 Sidney P. osborn T born democrat addressed the audience in support oi his desire to be the first secretary of state. Mir. Osborn too. had been .
 member from Maricopa county oi the convention and earned the name of Recall Osborn by introducing the recall provision into the conven tion against the protests of most O
 his colleagues.
 Following Mir Hunt, E. L. Short 0
 Yuma county, also a member of thf
 convention presented his claims a. aspirant for he office of corporation commissioner. His claims were based not only on his record in the conven
 ton but on his eighteen years o
 railroad service where he got onto
 many of the curves Of the corpora l tions
 Carl T. Hayden in a very pleasant
 speech said that he desired to bt representative in congress. He diC not believe that in his first term ht
 could settle the tariff and monetar, questions but he could help some by
 Increasing the progressive strength tC
 the extent Of onesote He would en
 deayor 10 engraft the principles O
 the Arizona constitution upon tn,
 laws and constitution Of the nation especially with reference to the recal , of the federal judiciary which haG become altogether too frisky witt the people.
 A. W. Cole of Douglas, who hal
 been secretary Of the convention be
 lIeyed that the corporation commis sion should contain at least one mem
 Der from the south and he was tn
 only one south of Salt River who ha, ? aspired. Mir. Cole is a laboring mal and a Missourian. He was not al orator, he said, yet his remarks wer
 entertaining. The corporation con
 mission could do either great harn / or great good. 4 spirit of fairnes and liberaiity 10 the corporation
 would encourage the investment c | capital while a spirit of narroNnes
 would drive 1t away.
 n The last speaker of the evening wa ". P. Geary of winslow an attorne lwho had had intimate relations wit z the corporations in the course Of hi
 efforts 10 make the Santa Fe pay It 7 taxes in Navajo county. He relate r dream in which Mir. Cole had bee z made the unwilling instrument :. his entry to heaven and he relate ' other anecdotes which kept the aud '- ence in a spirit of friendliness to tt
