DETROIT, Mich, March 15:-The Taft campaign in Michigan will be started down the ways at Hastings next Friday night, when a big repub- lcan banquet will be given with Sen ator William Alden Smith as the chief speaker. The affair will mark the be- ginning of a hard fight that will be made to keep the Wolverine itate in line for the president renOmInatiOn. A division of sentiment that is almost without precedent is admitted to exist among the republicans of Michigan at the present time Both the United States senators and all the republican representative from the state are placed among the Taft supporters, but the president $ being fought by Gov ernor Osborn and his followers. The Governor has been boosting hard for Roosevelt. but the Taft people claim they do not fear the results, and that now they are getting down to the real work Of the campaign, things will be- gin to Tsoye their way.

BISBEE FAVORED OF ALL CITIES IN
 YOUNGEST STATE
More Moisture Than Average by Fifty Per Cent and
 Less Heat and Cold
BEST MEAN FIGURES

In tlae year 1911 there WIS less va riatiOn temperature in Bisbee than any other point reported to the weather service in Arizona, as ap- pears among numerous other inter. esting facts in the Arizona section of the climatological report for the year issued from the department of agri- culture. This variation from extreme warmth in the summer to extreme cold in the winter was 7S degrees, while the greatest variation report ed was 112 degrees. at St. Michales. A peculiar feature shown by the fis- Ur5s is that the warmest day and the coldest day of the year 1911 were exactly six months apart The warm est was 92 degrees on June 26, and the coolest was II abOve zero on December 26. The hottest weather reported at any Arizona point during the year was f2J at Mohawk Sum init on July Ij and August s, and the cOldest was 26 degrees below zero at FIagstaf on December 3l Thus it is seen that Bisbee's highest was twenty-eight degrees lower than the highest record in the state, and Bis bees lowest was forty degrees high CT than the minimum at Flagstaff.
 Comparisons in Rainfall
 Upon the record of precipitation of moisture for the year 1911, Bisbee could hardly be classed as located in the dry belt" for the record shows a total fall of moisture of 25l2 inches. The greatest months pre- cipitation was in February, 3.70 inch. es. And while Bisbee is but few miles separated from Douglas and from Benson, it is remarkable that the precipitation here was fifty per cent in excess Of Douglas, where there WAS but l5.63 inches ct moist ure. and at Benson there was only 1923. At this Bisbee was behind Dos, Cabezas. where the fall was '3O.- 34, while at Mohawk Summit 1t was only 212, and at Yuma 2.79.
 In Bishee there were 6S rainy days, TO clear days. l16 partly cloudy days S,nd % cloudy days. The earliest killing frost was on November p, and the latest on February 9.
