Bisbee daily review., 1911-09-17
FIRST VISITATION
 OF HE CANDIDATES
 IN LARGE NUMBERS
Risbee Received Large Part of the Late Wilcox
 Congregation

Tbee was an eruption Of candi-
 ss.es into Bisbee last night. The po- 1tasl dam at Wilcox had given way sp5 the flood burst forth in various drsetions, but Bisbee received the lrunt of 1t.
 Among the gentlemen who had been g, Wilcox, astonished by the possi 5ilities of dry farming, were Eugene s. Ives and Eugene Brady ONei1, candidates for United States sena- tor, and Colonel Thomas Weedin, candidate for governor. Colonel Wee din is accompanied by Frank De Souza, well known here and formerly engaged in newspaper work in Bis Lee. All now and those to be here after mentioned are democrats, The republicans have not yet taken the field. They have not yet been able to convince themselves that it will be worth while to do so.
 But these gentlemen by no means include all the late students of dry farming. There are A. F. Parsons OI Douglas, Marcus A. smith of Tucson, Colonel II. L. Pickett of Tombstone, Reese NJ. Ling and Henry F. Ashurst Of Prescott, all with senatorial aspi- rations; c. N. P. Hunt, whose guber- material boom was formally launched Lamar Cobb, who would be the first and only representative In congress George Purdy Bullard of PhOeniZ. who has in view the office of attorney general, and C. O. Case Of Phoenix, candidate for superintendent of pub lie instruction
 Thus six ol the senatorial candi- dates were there, the absent ones being w T. Smith and J. H. Robin son of Phoenix. The latter is said to have become discouraged. He is a poor man whose struggle has been p hard one He entered the contest be lieving that the Arizona constitution had ushered ln the millennium ana that all the protecting barriers Cl wealth were broken down, when ia isct. in the new reign of the people. wealth would be positive disadyal. tage; when the people would regara- the lack oi it as a virtue.
 But AIr. Robinson claims to have become convinced that the dollar still consists of 100 cents and IS just as effective in smoothing the way O, the unworthy 10 positions of power as it was before the millennium.
 It is thought that he Nlu shortly announce his withdrawal from the race; others believe thaC ne VIII not go to the trouble.
 It is stated that those who werc fortunate enough to be at Wilcox TO. 'ceiyed much encouragement Ate Leholding what could be accomplish cd with the soil by the exercise 0. intelligent effort, they believed that UnprOmising bOOmlets could be uur- tured and coaXed along toward fru. tiOn and hopes that had begun tC wither .freshsned prodigiously.
 The candidates other than Mir Ives, who came in last night, tCoE pains e state that it was not their purpose to address the multitude at once. They regarded the meeting last night as the private function Of the gentleman from Pima, and upon which they would not intrlde They desired Oni. 10 arrange with the democratic Clut for future meetings.
 curious but after all not unnat ural situation is likely 10 make pUlitL cal meetings throughout the primary campaign frequent not only in Bis bee but in all centers of population It could hardly be expected that tsO candidates for the same office would address the same audience from the same platform. There would seem to be no reason why two or more candi dates for different offices might not do SO, but there is a very good req son why they do not want to do so Their joint appearance they fear would be followed by a cry of "cOmbi nation, which would have a fatal eject upon the hopes of all involved
