 There was large and enthusiastic attendance at the Opera House in North Clifton on Wednesday night. when the first political gun was fired by State Senator A. A. WorSley, of Tucson, and Hon. s. B. Bradner, of Cochise County, Speaker of the House. Both speakers are among the best known men of Arizona and stand high politically
 If any one in Clifton entertains shadow of a doubt of the determina- tion of the democrats of this district to make a whirlwind campaign for Will son, that doubt was disSapated on Wednesday night and all are aroused with new encouragement.
 Senator Chase was chairman and presented the speakers in well chosen remarks He paid many mpliment- ary remarks to the excellent work of both in the first legislature of the new state, Senator Chase being a member of the senate with MT. Worsley.
 Senator Worsley stated that he had been invited to speak here on the several issues which were to be voted upon at the coming election and the method of taxation was one of the many subjects to which he addressed his remarks: He believes in a uni
 
 that this will be accomplished by the appointment of state board. As the matters of taxation have been and are at present, left to the county boards of supervisors, there is the opportuni- ty of all kind of discrepancies aris- ing.
 He favors all of the constitutional amendments which are to be voted up- on at the coming election.
 olya in, foTy ,f fhn lot larging it's industrial pursuits so that it will be enabled to cope with the large corporations. He believes that the state, as a representative of the people should engage in large busi- ness enterprises. He desires the mid dle mans profit eliminated for the benefit of the consumer.
 | The principal speaker of the occas- ion, Hon. A. A. Worsley, is one of the ablest in Arizona. He has the distinc- tion of being anotherWilliam Jennings Bryan, being often taken for Bryan, and during the last campaign stumped the state of Nebraska for the great commoner. He is one whose inde- pendence of thought has demanded great admiration for him and who has the absolute conviction of what he has to say and says it.
 There are many evils which must be cured" said MT. Worsley, and have faith enough in the standard bearer of the democratic party to as sure the people of Arizona, that Will son is the man for the people, At the mention of the name of Wil- son, the audience burst into long and tremendous applause. He certainly | proved to be the idol of the democracy as well as those entertaining progress l i've thought The satrapy under which we are now existing, caused by the long reign of Republican graft and Republican domination, is too intoler able to be longer experienced. The people of progressive thought and pro- gressive action have at last arisen in the righteousness of their indignation to say, thus far shalt thou go and no farther and regaled with that deter imitation which characterizes the thought and action of the American 1 people they have raised the standard | for Woodrow Wilson, to which the millions are just now fiocking." One of the most characteristic parts of the address was the Scathing denun citation of the Taft-Roosevelt fiaSco. Both fighting the other before and af- ter the convention at Chicago, and still fighting in a manner which is too disgraceful to be written on a page of American history, simply for an of flee. Both posing in the limelight of the world, racing from one place to another to get votes, and adopting political tactics which would not be acceptable to the common and most despised ward politician.
 In contrast to this is the scholarly and dignified candidate of the demo- cracy, who defines his position in 8 clear cut and unaustatious manner, pointing out in advance of the cleo tion what he stands for and will work for, and above all defining his uncompromising position on the tariff. Those objectionable and mischeviouS clauses in the present tariff system which tend most to retard our pro- gress and which initiate against the interests and advancement of the working people are those which 1 Jill at first address ny un@wervinS at iention, are among the most fanlili- liar terances of the democr1': : nomi nee.
 The very pleasing address of the senator from Pima did not fail to please the people of Clifton who re- peatedly applauded him with enthuSs- asm. Senator Worsley will continue to address the people of Arizona up to the election and is profoundly convin- ced that Wilson will be the next preSi- dent of the United States.
 Although not an orator as MT Wors- ley, Hon. S.. B. Bradner, familiarly known as Sam in his home county of Cochise, he nevertheless does not fail to make his views well known to his hearers. As life long democrat he has always been a hard worker in the party and his influence is always felt on the firing line. As speaker of the first house of the new state he medo
