 It is a pity that the hall in which Governor Hum spoke Tuesday night was not larger It filled tc capacity yet two thousand or so of the warrer District either could not would not attend the meet ing No voter who is sincere desire be informed on all sides the issues if such information is vouch safed no voter who wants to form personal opinion o the Democratic candidate for of Arizona should miss an opportunity to ana hear Mir Hunt This message should broadcast to quarter of the State where there remains opportunity to take ad vantage Mir Hunts presence at public assemblage
 Experience establishes that political meeting serves either one of two according the character which the leading speaker gives it. If he designs to conserve the best interests good citizenship he makes appeal to He nterprets the issues for which he stands order that he gay help others to understand If he be man of true nobility and he wei comes fearless criticism and replies with such hon est arguments as he can command The measure of re- spect in which he holds his critics is the oi respect which intelligent audience accords to him
 There is another brand of man-despised char latan and a demagoge by all good men-in whose mouth words of instruction up of just censure or gener ous tribute are ineffective His tongue cannot frame them It is the favorite expedient of such to re- sort to vituperation rdicule both He makes his appeal to prejudice and passion, the most abominabe and dangerous of human fraildes Unable to deal with those problems which material to his audience since they effect the lives welfare of the listeners and the families adopts cheap suberfuse Of creating an artificial interest If the audience up of sha low men and women they accept this suberuge because they are blinded by ignorance the imposition which has been practced upon them. They leave the scene with their hearts embtered their poor heads bet ter filled with wholesome thoughts than before
 IT the motives of those who went hear Mr. Hunt were good motives, they had right to expect that his speech would be informative They had right to be-
 eye that he instruct them concerning the meas which will be presented for their consideration on election day.
 Ir YOU Mr Voter did not attend the meeting, ask your neghbor who there whether Mr. Hunt any reference whatsoever to the proposed bond issues calling for ten millions of dollars the peoples money the 80 per cent bill which if passed will crp- pie industry the important issue of prohibitions the Australian system; the measures which the welfare Cochise Ga counties respect yey to the several other issues so closely linked with the concern of Arzonas people. He either did or did throw light these. subjects The answer is best to the who was there He can inform his neigh bor We will seek all fairness to discuss the matter pro and con.
 If Mir Hunt enlightened voters on the measures con tained the campaign of issues fulfilled the highest mission demanded of truespired public ser want If he failed in this, the most charitable view which be taken that did know enough about the subjects discuss them In that ease you want Mir Hunt for governor Mir Voter? If on the other hand he failed in his mission either through cowardce in undertaking discussion because believed that his audience kind that could be easily conormed in them mould of prejudice and passion to his way of thinking, he merits the contempt of the electorate of Arizona
