BIG Guns BOOM
In Winslow Opera House
LargestCrowd of Campaign
Attend Republican Rally
Little Guns Seen But
Not Heard


Monday evening the largest
crowd that has gathered at a po-
litical speaking during the pres
ent campaign assembled to hear
the leaders of the republican
state ticket. Several republicans
who are running on the county
ticket occupied seats on the ros-
trum, among whom were Klein
dinst, w. B. Woods, Crosby,
Crabb, Yount, Flickinger, Owens,
Richards and Larson.
j. E. Kleindinst, republican
candidate for representative, did
hOnors on the occasion and after
the local candidates made their
little bows to a cheeringaudience
Henry l.. Eads, candidate for
representative in congress, was
introduced and made a rather
long talk principally about inef-
ficiency in the national govern
ment during C]eveland'S admin
istration. He at times became
rather flowery and at heated mo-
ments described semi-circles and
fish with his hands, paus-
ing at the expected moment for
the applause.
J. L. Hubble, candidate for the
United States senate, was next
to make an appearance and talked
quietly but in earnest about the
duties Of our national represen-
tatives. He is man from our
neck of the woods, as MrKlein-
dinst said, in effect, "and it be-
hooves us to take a pride in our
county to remember him kindly
at the polls on the third of next
month. F"
Ralph Cameron, who feels sure
of being our next governor, then
made a short but peppery speech.
He confined his talk to action and
said it was the duty of all who
had Arizona at heart to get busy
and see to it that men were elect
ed to office who would make a
strenuous effort to induce outside
capital to come in and help us
develop our natural resources.
He spoke of the exhorbitant
amount of money that has been
expended under the present ad-
ministration and said that it
should be reduced by a million
dollars. He strikes an observer
as a man of action and one that
would be busy on the job as gov
ernor.
Mrs Rose Krebbs, who is out
for superintendent of public in
struction, and the only woman
candidate on the state ticket, was
next. She spoke as becomes a
woman under such circumstances
and said she would use her best
efforts for the welfare of the
school children in general.
C. G. Cole then took the stand
and wanted the job of holding
down the lid on the pot thatCam-
eron was going to boil should he
become governor. He intimated
that he was seeking the office of
secretary of state only because
Cameron was out for governor.
Candidate for tax commission
er, Thomas E. Campbell, made
the most interesting and instruc-
tive talk of the evening. He
seems to have many friends in
Winslow and many words of ap-
proval were heard from among
tae audience. He was followed
by James M. Morrison, candidate
f1r Judge Of the supreme court.
Whether the republican state
ticket will be elected or not is a
matter that a few more days will
settle, but all the speakers ex-
pressed themselves IS confident
of the outcome. One thing is
certain: they drew the GRO wd of
the season and one ths cheered

81 have met him twice." explained
Florence. 81 have made an impress
sion upon him, and intend to fol-
low it up. Just as | said, if it is only
for spite, am going to win Verda
Wayne's lover away from her"
All this was the outburst of bit
ter siren nature that could not brook
any invasion upon it's fancied rights
1t was true that the former social
supremacy of Florence King had been
challenged, but it was the sweet,
natural ways of Verda Wayne that
had won her adherents. The Wood
set considered themselves progress
sive, but were really loud The more
sedate and socially solid element had
chosen Verda for their fair, deserving
queen. Florence sulked and fancied
all kinds of plottings against her. She
declined all invitations from Verda
to ordinary village functions. She
had isolated and embittered her own
special friends, and the situation had
grown to be decidedly strained and
unlovely.
Verda and the entire Wayne family
had been duly attentive to their
young man guest. Not much was go
ing on in social way, but he played
tennis afternoons with a quiet lit
tie group, and evenings was seen in
their automobile. He was not the
kind of a fellow, one would say, to
appeal to a lively but fastidious little
lady like Verda. However, Florence
had heard of an engagement for some
time. She jumped at conclusions and
set her plans to achieve what to her
would be sweet revenge.
She was natural born coquette,
and meeting Mr.. Ransom once on the
street knew that the flashing artil-
Iery of her eyes had produced GER
tain effect. The second time he loiter-
ed near to her, smiling. The third

Ransom. III
"Indeed?" replied Florence, brid-

ooh, yes, she speaks very highly of
you. She is going away for week

an invalid aunt. l shall miss all the
kindness she has shown me. In fact,

Affairs turned Florence's way very
speedily after that. The siren ways
soon won the pliable heart of young
Ransom. It was a facile conquest,
and Florence wondered at it as she
got better acquainted with her suit
or, for such he quickly became. She
saw less of engaging qualities in him
and marveled that he had attracted
Verda Wayne.
Word came that the latter would
return home on Monday. 1t was on
the Friday before that Mr.. Ransom
laid his heart at the feet of the dark
eyed beauty.
1t was the following day when Flor
ence decided on move to which her
sensational nature warmed. All the
time her main thought was the dis
may, the possible heartbreak that
would come to Verda Wayne when

MOUNT LASSEN AGAIN ERUPTS
 VIOLENTLY
Several Tourists Overcome By Fumes-Residents
 Prepare to Flee.

Mineral, Cal, July 2.-Mount Las sen was again in violent eruption to- day. The explosions, which were the fifteenth of the series, occurred short ly before o'clock this morning and while the outbust was not of as long duration as its predecessors of yester- day and the day before, it was just as violent and the accompanying gas and sulphur fumes were much more noticeable.
 A score of tourists who had started fol the mountain side t1is morning were caught in tine sulphur zone and several were slightly overcome before they could reach the safety zone. People on the Chester side of the mountain, which is in the sulphur zone, are making preparations to leave the vicinity.
 Observers on the mountain side re- port that the eruptions during the past three days have been followed by violent electrical storms at the summit. This is declared to be posi- tive proof that Mount Lassen is in active volcanic action.
 Reports coming tonight say that the volcano ashes from today's erup- ten, thrown several thousand feet in the air, scattered for a distance of twenty miles over the surrounding country.

FACTS REFUTE
 CALAMITY CRIES
Democratic Senator from New Hamp- shire COntradicts Statement of Re- publican Colleague, and New
 Jersey Man Offers Proof.

Washington, July D. Another Fl osperity and calamity discussion was precipitated ill the senate today by a telegram from Secretary McAdoo the chairman of the finance commit tee on the result of the operations of the new tariff and income tax laws for the fiscal year just ended.
 "Afte: paying all ordinary dis bursements of the government" said the secretary, there was surplus o. $33, 7S4, ,4o2.70 and after paying all Panama canal expenditures for the year, there was a deficit of only $1,- 010,059.S1. These figures are subject to revision upon analysis of complete returns"
 Senator Simmons said this message from the secretary of the treasury vas 9 complete refutation of the Calamity cries." of Republican and otEer critics of the Democratic tariff law.
 '"The treasury, as the Secretary says, may be in a satisfactory condi- tion, but the industries of the coun- try certainly are not" retorted 6eaa- tor Gallinger of New Hampshire
 Reaching in his desk the senator drew forth bunch of letters. He cied the case of 8 shoe manufactur- ing company at Nassau, which. claim. ed it had lost an annual $200,000 con. tract with Baltimore dealer, who declined to renew his contract be- cause he could buy under the Dem; ocratic tariff much more cheaply in England Hhe showed that the tex. tile mills, not only in his state but throughout tine New Englands, had been compelled to operate on short time or shut down altogether, and as- serted that there was depression in all lines of industry.
 Labor Never Better Employed.
 Senator Hollis, the Democratic senator from New Hampshire, denied this.
 "I have recently been all over the state," he said. And no matter what may be claimed in individual letters say that labor has never been bet ter employed in that state t.- n it is at this moment It is practically i'm possible to get painter or carpenter who is out of job."
 ''In my state let me inform the senator" interjected MT. Martin ol New Jersey, "the Singer Sewing Ma. chine company, which employees be- tween 5000 and 10000 persons, and which every year has shut down a month for repairs, this season has notified it's workmen that owing tc the unusual orders it cannot shut down but for one week" Senator Thomas of Colorado sug- gested that the depression in New England and the dullness claimed tc eyist in the retail trade probably was due to the mismanagement of the New Haven system, and in which thousands of persons had lost their savings,

Generally Admitted That Mediation Has Failed of
 It's Main Purpose.
HUERTA NOT FORGED
 TO MEET DEMANDS
U. s. Fails in Gaining Three Important Demands: That Huerta Resign: That Election Be Held and That
 ArmiStice Be Established.

Washington July 2-The American conference are expected to arrive hera tomorrow morning. Immediate ly upon their arrival they will con- fer with the president and Secretary Cf State Bryan. Frederick w. Len- man, one of the delegates, has an- nounced his intention of returning to his, home in St. Louis as soon as he has made an official report to the state department.
 Every indication points to the certainty that the mediation confer ehces will not be resumed. Secretary Bryan today omitted his stereotyped statement that mediation was pro pressing satisfactorily
 Huertada Estinosa, who is travel ing with Senor Calderon, who was named by CarranZa as a representa- tive to Niagara Falls, today announc- ed that while Calderon had come to Washington with the intention of act lhg as spokesman of the constitution allst chief in ln information confer cree held with the Huerta envoys, he had little confidence that any such conference would be arranged.
 On all sides it is now admitted that n.ediation has failed of it's main pur- pose on the part of this government, which was to bring about compliance with the demands made upon Huerta nearly year afo by Envoy Lind.
 These demands were that Huerta resign; that an agreement for an election of president be made, and that an armistice be established pending the election.
 The only important matter decided at Niagara was that the merican forces. shall not be withdrawn from Mexico except by agreement between the United States and the provision al government which is yet to be established. This was put forward by the American delegates and ten tatively accepted by the Huerta rep resentatives. However, as with the collapse of mediation there will be nu formal ratification of the tenta- tive agreements at Niagara, all the conferences of the last several weeks are expected to have little bearing on the final solution of the Mexican rrOblem

ULSTER SITUATION WORRIES KINGGEORGE
English Ruler Leaves Race to Confer With Premier Asquith Over
 Irish Problem.

London, July 2.-king George show ed increased anxiety today over the Ulster situation. He was at the New market races, where one of his horses was entered to race at o'clock. but the king left immediately after lunch con for London, not waiting to see his entry run. Arriving at Buckingham palace, he went into immediate con- ference with Premier Asquith. The talk lasted an hour.
 During the debate today in the house of lords it was evident that the possibility of civil war is becoming an obsession. Nearly every speaker made it clear that while the object was to avert at all costs the terrible catastrophe which threatens in Ire land, nevertheless, they believe that the bill now pending, amending the home rule measure would fail in the end.
