 All of the men from other towns were called upon to make speeches. It was their unanimous opinion that a new party should be formed in Ari- zona. because they believed they could do much better by leaving the old Re publican party alone.
 Dwight B. Heard, made the first talk h4 f~11 If fhn tions of the men in control of the steam roller in Chicago.

  Republican national committee in Chicago. We want Q new party that is clean, one that promises the people honest government and is not entang[ H in any way with errors and faults of the old party.
 We want a party that is connected in no way with the old parties, party that will give equal opportuni- ties to men from the north and the f0 in yirlc ment better. We want no sectional ism We want young men from both parties and we want old men. By forming new party with correct prin- ciples and an honest, fearless leader we can win.

 All Felt Alike. Judge Weicher said the people at Globe and in his county felt that Roosevelt was the man and that they wanted to support him. They consid- cred that he had been nominated at Chicago and they intended to stay with him. Tom Malloy said the feeling in Yuma was that Roosevelt was the man already selected and that there was a third party already organized. Others followed expressing the same opinion. In order that the out of town men might catch their trains home last night the meeting was hurried and a committee was appointed, consisting of the men from other towns and G. O. Hilsinger, c. B. Rule and Pete Howell, to order a call for conventions in the counties and in the state The call will be officially issued today from Phoenix. MT. Boehn, formerly employed in the
