MARSHALL COMING TO ARIZONA

MARSHALL COMING ID ARIZONA Senator Gore Also Promises To Make
 Speeches In New State of Arizona
 During the Campaign.
 Brimful of confidence in the abil- ity of Woodrow Wilson and Governor Marshall to sweep the entire country at the coming presidential election, Reese M. Ling, democratic national committeeman from Ariozona, this week returned to Phoenix after six weeks spent in the east.
 MT. Ling attended the recent re- publican unpleasantneSS at Chicago, after which he journeyed to Balti- more, remaining through the many stormy ballots that saw the defeat Of Champ Clark and the nomination of Governor Wilson. After the adjourn ment of the convention he spent five days in Washington the guest of Senator Mark Smith. From the na- tional capital he visited New York, from the metropolis, going to Sea Girt where he called upon Governor Wilson. Later, in Chicago, he at tended a meeting of the new demo- cratic national committeeman, going with a number of other committee men to call upon Governor Marshall of Indiana.
 MT. Ling believes that Roosevelt's Bull Moose party will not detract from the strength of Governor Will son In fact, he believes it will add votes to the Wilson column. There is no reason for a progressive to desert Wilson, while on the other hand, many Taft men will see the 4I,@ and vote for Wilson rather than see the Big Noise of Oyster Bay crawl into the presidential chair.
 Speaking of Governor Wilson, the man, MT. Ling this morning made , the following statement:
 Up to the time of my calling upon Governor Wilson, my opinion of him was based upon the determined stand he had taken in the conduct of the office of Governor of New Jersey; and while I had thought him to be an earnest, competent and capable progressive democrat, after conver- sation lasting about two hours the good opinion I had of him was strengthened and I am quite sure that anyone who would have the pleasure of his acquaintance even for that brief period, would be i'm pressed with the fact that with all of his other good qualities there is added one of evident sincerity and a strong tenacity of purpose, show ing not only an inclination to do right, but the ability to make .oth- CTS see that his position is right.
 His record as Governor of New Jersey-the most trust ridden and corporation-controlle state in the union-denotes him man of excep- tional ability. His great popularity with people of all classes of society indicates the strong personal mag netism of the man and his ability to do things will make him the best president the United States has had since Lincoln"
 One of the great assets of Gov ernor Wilson in the estimation of MT. Ling, is the solid support of all Princeton men.
 There are twenty thousand grad uates of Princeton scattered over the United States and ever one of them, no matter what his poll- tics, is an ardent supporter of the New Jersey governor. Almost with out exception these graduates are men of considerable standing in their respective communities, and their steadfast support will be a tower of strength to MT. Wilson" said MT. Ling.
 Governor Wilson is to make dlgn1ned campaign, ana WILL not run around the country talking from train platforms Any speeches He has to make will be delivered from the front porch of the Little White House at Sea Girt, and will be given the people of the country through the medium of the press. MT. Will son has taken this stand, not be- cause he feels he is too good to make a speaking tour, but because hi chief executive of New Jersey.
 Many speakers, however, will tour the country in behalf of Wilson, and it is probable that Governor Marshall will visit Phoenix and speak here He promised MT. Ling he would surely stop off with his friends here if he came west. Sen ator Gore the blind orator from Oklahoma, pledged MT. Ling that he would speak in Arizona and it | is probable that other men of na- tion-wide reputation will be sent to this state by the national com mittee.
 The big business interests of the east will have no part in the Wilson campaign said MT. Ling. " Gov ernor Wilson desires his campaign fund to be made up by popular sub- scription of all democrats through out the country, and to that end every member of the national con- mittee pledged that upon his return home he would, through the medium
