 REELECTED

 York and Eastern States
SENTIMENT RAPIDLY CHANGING
Republicans Fill Vacancies Caused By Resignation From Committee
 of ProgressiVes.

PHOENIX-With the arrival of its
 chairman, J. Lorenzo Hubbell, the Re
 publican State Central Committee met
 at the Adams Hotel The entire com
 mittee was in attendance and a rather
 enthusiastic meeting was held
 The first action of the committee
 was the selection of a secretary Charles E. Arnold, Receiver of the
 United States Land Office, was se
 lected for the position. But the chief action of the afternoon, which necessitated forethought of conse. quences and such like, was the for nal purging from the ranks of the republican party of all traitors, ren- .egades and Mooseveltians. The ac- tion met with the approval of the entire committee. The mem bers took the stand that no olive branch would be accepted nor preferred.
 Ned Creighton was then appointed executive committeeman from Mari copa county, and Paul R. Ingles was made chairman of the Mari copa County Central Committee
 It was the individual and collective opinion of the committee that Frank M. Murphy of Prescott should be the candidate for presidential elector from the northern counties of the state, and that Hoval A. Smith of Cochise county should be the goat from the southern counties. The other presidential elector will come from Maricopa county. There are number of candidates for the nom- ination and the committee neither as a whole nor individually would suggest or recommend a candidate.
 T. E. Campbell was favorably spoken of for the republican nomin- ation for Congressman. The entire committee seemed to think that MT. Campbell would make a better race than any other man that could be se- lected.
 A committee of twenty was ap- pointed to make arrangements for republican dinner, to be held Thurs day of this week.
 MT. Hubbell was very enthusiastic over President Taft's chances this fall He said that it was certain that the state of New York would Je in the G. O. P. column.
 ''Te spasmodic outburst after the Chicago convention, which dissenters proclaiming against the executive, hoc re Tho m who were outspoken and threatenedto leave the party are fast appearing and enlisting for the campaign. Every thing is working better for Taft today than imm ediately after the convention was over.
 q was in New York a few days ago." he continued, and there is no question whatever but what the presi- dent will sweep the state. This is conceded by every observing politician Passing into Pennsylvania the situ- ation was found very satisfactory, and of that electoral vote I have no doubt but that it will go for Taft. MT. Finn who so strongly supported Roosevelt in the convention, realizes now the of following the ex-president and will soon wheel into line for MT. Taft. This is one of the en- signs of the strength of the president in that commonwealth. In Illinois the sentiment is daily growing stronger that there is no hope of electing Roosevelt, and the Republicans freely ad nit this as being true. One by one hey are returning and inside of the next month the forecast of that state will show it is for Taft.
