Arizona Thomas Is Not Only Con- gressionaI Campbell That
 Lost Out

copy of the Pocahontas Star Herald (Arkansas) of February 20. fell into the hands of the chamber Of commerce, Prescott, says the Jour- nal Miner and then continues to raise points of similarity between two Tom Campbells This paper contains an advertisement of q chap named Tom Campbell and in this respect and all others except the official party, the tale of woe agrees strikingly with that of "our Tom" of that ilk, who was up against the same handicaps in 1910. against Carl Hayden. The ad- vertisement follows in full:
 Campbell for Congress
 To the people of Randolph county: Two years ago I made the race for congress. It was a big undertak- ing. Our congressional district in cludes twelve counties, with about 300,000 voters. To get my candidacy before all the people of these twelve counties and to make known to them my views on the public questions then confronting us, required a con- siderable amount of money and time and hard work. My opponent at that time was holding the office of con- gressman, and every day of that cam- paign he drew from the public treas ury salary of $20 a day, and in | addition to that he had the free use | of the United States mails without paying postage, and the government | also furnished him a secretary to mail out his campaign literature I was a private citizen with no income except as I worked it out. It cost me $500 or $500 just for postage to | write one letter to each of the voters of the district. With this tremen- dOus advantage of me, my opponent defeated me, although I got a good | vote in every county of the district
 At the solicitation of many of my friends I have entered the race for 1 the democratic nomination for con . gress in the primary to be held on March 25th Few men have ever won a race for congress the first effort With the acquaintance I made over the district the last race, I believe can win this time. especially if my home people will only lend me a support. I appeal to every person in Randolph county to help me tc win this race. I hope that this time I may have the support of every mar in the county. During the IS years of our county's history no man from Randolph county has ever been oul congressman, We have helped tC
 pay the congressmans salary all these
 years; but the congressman has al.
 ways come from some other county
 Is it not fair that we should have
 congressman from Randolph count,
 once in three quarters of a century
 If any other Randolph county mar
 would offer himself for congress,
 would gladly get out and give hin
 my hearty support There are score of men in our own county. who woul,
 make as good congressman as WI now have. Let's all pull togethe
 this time and send a Randolph coun ty man to congress once anyhow
 Your neighbor and friend.

 Wolud write his fellow sufferer
 letter of condolence. The PocahOnta
 Mining company was named after tn , town in which the Pocahontas Star
 Herald is published by w. H. Skin
