Having tried ont Lorenzo Huhbe} in competition with a switch engine Ralph Cameron and Bob Kirk hay, stakel their lives, their fortunes anu tssir sacred honor, also railroad tickets To Chicago, that be can snore louder and longer than F. A. Pack ard, says The Arizona Democrat
 For many years Packard has held undisRuted the Arizona champion snorer's belt. He has never claimed to be champion of the world, buI whenever he has competed witt. SnorerS from other states end nations he has always come off victor. To wit the ordinary. common. garden va riety Of nocturnal buzz saw asainS! Packard would be like matching Johnny Kllbane with Jack Johnson
 All this time Lorenzo Hutbell has been hiding his light under a bushel It remained for Ralph Cameron and Bob Kirk to discover this snoring hope from the north They are con fident that Apache county can put at all over Cochise when it comes to producing snorers that can snore.
 Kirk and Cameron made theiI greas discovery last Sunday night down in Tucson. Lorenzo had care. fully oiled the steam roller that va. 10 flatten out the Roosevelt de.egates in the republican convention the next day and had attended to all the other little details which woIld in. sure victory for the Taft forces. With sweet consciousness Of duty well done. Hubbel retired to pleas ant dreams.
 Drowned Out Engine
 IL happened that Kirk and Cam. eron were in the next room Along about l2 o'clock, Lorenzo's snoring apparatus got to working right and the Santa Rita walls began to tremble. Chunks Of plaster as big as mans fist fell upon Cameron and Kirk. They hurriedly broke in at the door Of Hubbell'S room to find sleeping beauty upon his couch From the vocal and olfactory organs of the sleeper came deep. vast waves of sound that increc csed in volume e they rolled outward The noise was something like a fog horn, railroad wreck, Copper Queen blast, aTAexican revolution and an orphan asylum at breakfast time. ali mixed up together
 Like a sailor making his way across a deck in a rough sea, Kirk went 10 the window and raised it. From down in the yards came the whistle of 2 switch engine, whicI wss just discernib!c. like the chirp ot . cricket is discernible in the midst Of bulErog chorus.
 Cameron and Kirk shook hands solenlnly.
 We've found it, said Kirk
 The champion snorer Of the world" Cameron agreed. %, Now a Political Affair
 z. This state will be republican ius: as soon as Hubbell meets and de. feats B. A. Packard" Kirk declared sThen they went 10 the fleideI apc spent the rest Of she night. Since then, Cameron and Kirk have been Troclaiming Hubbeu 10 the world as the loudest snorer who ever disturbed the peace and quiet of an Arizona night. Their claims have been met with Skepticism and sneers on every hand. Democrats royal still to Packard, laugh at Huh. bell and declare that he is a base imitation Of the real thing in the snoring line.
 F. A. Sawyer and Ed Shaw are among the most loyal of Packard 3 supporters. They have bet Cameron and Kirk round-trip railroad tickets to Chicago and Baltimore that Pack ard can make Lorenzo look like % cents Mex. on a frosty morning. The supreme test will come off June l3.
