THOMAS E. CAMPBELL
 HOLDS A BIG RALLY

Hon. Thomas E. Campbell, repub- lican candidate for congress, spoke to one of the largest crowds of the campaign, so far, in Williams, at the opera house Thursday evening.
 The meeting was preceded by a concert by the Williams Boys band down town, and at the close of the concert the band marched to the opera house followed by the crowd F. R. Furguson presided, and in- troduced Mir. Campbell in a neat speech. MT. Campbell spoke for about an hour, dwelling more par ticularly on the measures he would advocate if elected to congress. He spoke in a pleasing manner of his opponents on the progressive and democratic tickets, and in this re- spect he made a hit with the large crowd The people want to hear the live issues of the campaign dis cussed, and personal abuse of the other party is poor way to help any cause along.

AS SEEN FROM THE
 DEMOCRATIC VIEW

Wednesday night the people had the pleasure of listening to two of the finest campaign speeches, from a democratic standpoint, that they have had the pleasure of listening to in some time. The speakers of the occasion were Hon. Carl Hay den, member of congress from Ari- zona, and Hon. Wiley Jones, one of the democratic presidential elec- tors
 The first speaker was Congress
 man Hayden, who is a candidate for reelection on the democratic ticket. Mr. Hayden reviewed his work at the last session of congrsss and showed the people that the great scare of free trade that is laid at the door of the democrats was but q mirage, and that the demu- crats did not favor and did not in- tend to take the tariff completely from the products of American la- bor, but that they only intended ta revise the tariff downward in such a way as to stop the evil of nonololy, and at the same time lower the cost of living He reviewed his record in congress, showing how he voted on every measure that came before congress during his short stay there at the last session.
 He urged the people to vote to amend the constitution of ArizOul so as to include the iudiciaI!x KS all other elective officers state in the recall, which was foS out of the constitution by the c6 6ci cion of President Taft as condition precedent to our obtaining state hood.
 Hon. Wiley Jones, presidential elector, "went after 'em' without any gloves on. Everybody was an- xious to hear Wiley Jones express himself on the political situation, and no one was disappointed, for it was the unanimous opinion of all present who had before heard Mir. Jones speak, that he made the best speech of his life.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
 DESTROYS COTTAGE

About 3 O clock Wednesday morn ing fire destroyed the handsome cot tage of Mrs. James Irvine in the east end of town. When discovered the building was enveloped in flames from all sides, and although the fire department boys made every effort to subdue the fire, nothing could be saved.
 Mrs. Irwin has been living at the ranch east of town for some time, md the building was unoccupied, except that Charley Lane, who is working nights at the Santa Fe roundhouse, has been occupying a room there during the day time. Lane states that there never has ,een any fire in the house since he las been there, and the cause of the ire can only be surmised, but many hink it was of incendiary origin, md that enemies of Mrs. Irvl e night shed little light on the af air if they chose; but, however. hat may, only be street rumor. The cottage and contents, according o Mrs. Irvine, were valued at S3OOO and she carried an insurance of 5000.
 Charley Lane lost his entire ward robe, valued at S75. This is a se- were loss to Charley, as he has been working hard endeavoring to raise money to attend college and finish his education.

WILLIAMS PUBLIC
 SCHOOL NOTES

The enrolment is still increas- ing and if the patrons will help the school authorities the number can be brought up to 200 for the first time in the history of the Williams school. Let us all strive to make it 200 by the end of the month.
 The basket ball games each Tuesday and Thursday evening in the physical training room are well attended by the girls and boys.
 Next Monday at 9 a. m. the children will assemble in the audi torium for the opening exercises of the school. The orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. Barnes, will furnish music and visitors are wei come.
 The Arizona State Teachers as sociation will convene at the new high school auditorium, Phoenix Thursday, October 31, at g o'clock. The meeting will last two days and many of the most prominent edu cators of the state will take part in the discussion.
 Arizona has no greater asset than her public schools, and we'll may she glory in them, because they stand well to the forefront of the schools of the nation and because a states schools are always a deter mining factor in the character of its citizenship.
 Every teacher in the state, whether in public or private school, Is by virtue of his position a mem- Der of the state association, and he comes from the association meet ings back to his work with in creased efficiency and enthusiasm. School boards can do nothing bet ter for their schools than to make it possible and desirable for their teachers, especially superintendents and principals, to attend the state meeting.
 Arizona teachers, coming as they do from every quarter of the na- tion and having wide-sp cad and influential correspondence, mean much to the states future, espec- ially when on fire with enthusiasm such as is kindled by conventions like the State teachers association.
