I man of Ell Paso, present on this excur-
sion, to know that we are camping to-
/ night in the educational center of the
| great state Of Arizona" he said. Real
| izing this and the close ties of friend
ship that have for years bound Ell Paso
and Tucson, cause US to doubly appre-
ciate the warmth of this reception. We
have met with a hearty reception
throughout your state, but the warmth
of your handclasp causes US to express
ourselves in that well known slang say
ing you have got our goat; and We are
for Tucson We came to cement our
business relations with you Tor the
future and to renew our friendships of
the past. We want you to return the
call"
Mayor Kelly Talks.
Claiborne Adams introduced mayor
c. E Kelly, who said: I'VE have been
out since last Monday and in all the
cities we have been greeted, by a DEM
ocratic mayor and with but two excep-
tiOns they have been Irish. At Tucson
We meet Dutchman, but he is the big
geSt Democrat of the lot-look at himi
I'll bet he weights $50. We claim to
come from the best city in the biggest
state in the union, but we are not much
ahead of Arizona. Tucson looks more
like Ell PaSO than any city I have ever
seen. I could wake up here in the
morning and really believe was in FL
Paso."
To ElyBtan Grove.
The march was then taken up to
Elysian grove. where most of the peo-
pie of Tucson had gathered for the
Catholic fair. The band marched into
the hall, around it twice, and then took
station on the platform, where it played
throughout the evening, while the Ell
Paso people and the Tucsonfans danced
c. c. Mcdonald was introduced and
told the people that Tucson's reception
beat anything the Ell PasOans had seen,
h1f harr- \
to improve as the excursionists pro
crossed, he could not imagine the final
outcome. My head is now swimming
from the hospitality we have received,
but we would be surprised at nothing in
the way of hospitality that we might
encounter in Arizona"
Mayors Hat Ratified.
Mayor Kelly and Claiborne Adams,
who had held onto their red hats
throughout the entire trade trip, gladly
surrendered them to the Catholic
