SOME THINGS
 fOR THE FAIR
An Effort Being Made to Present Leading Orators of the Country of all Par ties as Drawing Cards for the Week

If Secretary C. B. Wood of the state fair commission could have his way about it Phoenix would have q ferv.d time here during fair week He would have the national, three-cOrnered cam paign end here at that time since the election will be held the Tuesday fol- lowing he fair He would have the colonel Mir Taft and Dr. Wilson ap pear in the arena before the grand stand and have it out then and there
 There is q possibility that Mir Roose- welt will be in Arizona during the lat ter days of the campaign and that he may be induced to visit Phoenix at some time in the course of the fair.
 But if the national campaign may not be ended here it is not beyond the realm of possibility that the campaign so far as this state is concerned may be officially ended in Phoenix on the last day Cf the fair A half prmise has been given by friends of Governor Marshall who has been a frequent wis itor to Phoenix that he will be here at that time and an effort is being made to secure the presence of Senator Gore of Oklahoma. Those gentlemen with Senators Smith and Ashurst and Rep resentative Hayden will give the dem ocr1tic party a fair representation. For the Roosevelt element 1t is thought that Governor Johnson of California may be secured and an effort will be made to hove republican orators of nationwide prominence here at that time.
 This project is entirely non partisan or rather. bipartisan. It Is not intend- eI to be ContributOrY to the welfare of the parties but that all the parties may be made contributory to the success of the fan
 It is in line with the general efforts of the commission to fill up fair week and nave something doing every min ute of the nights and the days of that red lst'er period.
 Arrar gements have been made for a grander display of fire works than have e' CT been seen in Arizona. That will be on Wednesday night. The fol- lowing night there will be the automo- bile parade and it proposed one night to have the Fourth regiment which will be itIe tn BNe q epGeS6IltdllOE Ol Clusters last fight. It is not generally known. hut it is a fact that the sol dierS of this regiment have rehear5e,i that stirring incident and have per formed for the entertainment of army circles many times. If this represen- tation is given it will take place down town.
 Then there are the numerous auto mobile events aside from the great desert race There will be one from Prescott, another from Tucson, anoth CT from Globe and still another from Bisbee and Douglas. For the winner of each there will be cup. The win ner will also be qualified to enter com petition for a s200 purse.
 The sporting editors of the papers in the towns from whence the local cars start are expected to have the management of the races at the point of origin and it is proposed that tht sporting writers of the Phoenix papers shall take charge of the termination 0i the co.'t Sts.
 The foregoing are only a few of thf things planned for the week in ad,i- ton to those events already announced and which are regarded as parts of tne fixed program. <
