 in the "Favorite Son auto presented
 to Tom Campbell by the people of
 Prescott, but the heavy storm at
 Globe made 1t impossible to proceed
 Tn the auto from that place, and the
 party left that place on the train
 sending the car back to Phoenix.
 Mir. Campbell and party left for
 Bisbee this evening after informally
 meeting the people of this city. Ow-
 ing to the change Tn the itinerary the
 coming of the party was unknown
 here, but Mir. Campbell and his tray
 cling companions met great many
 people during their brief sojourn. Throughout the west, north and eastern portions of the State where
 Mir. Campbell and party have travel cd during the three weeks overland | trip, they found' the people talking ' Tom Campbell and freely predicting that he will be the next governor O. Arizona. The friendly meetings at the different places, devoid of the po-
 litical aspect, did much to intrench i Tom Campbell sentiment.
 The bitterness of the Hunt -Olney r.. Campbell, regardless of the Demo cratic nominee. The independence of
 voters has never been so strong ir
 Arizona, and the genial personality,
 combined with the strong hold upon
 the people because of his great abiI- Ity and fairness, makes 1t an casv matter for the independent voters to flock to the standard of Campbell The Olney adhcrents frankly admit that if their candidate for governor is not nominated they will support Campbell, and the Hunt followers | have made similar statements to the | Republican candidate for governor With the Republicans and Progress sives united, with the large personal | following Tom Campbell has among Democrats over the State, together with the stampede to his standard | which is bound to follow the pri- maries there is no doubt of the cleo tion of Mir. Campbell.
 The entire Republican ticket has gained. immensely through the in formal visit of Tom Campbell ard party to the different precincts of | Arizona. Republican clubs have been | organized, party workers revitalized, | cooperation and team work started, l and everywhere the conviction left | with the people that Tom Campbell | is going to win.
 Mir Campbell and party left Phoe- nix about, the middle of August and visited the western part of MaricOpa county, the northern portion of Yuma, the principal places in Mohave, Northern Navapai, Coconino, Navajo. Apache. Gila and -Cochise.
 Mir Campbell was the only Repub- lican elected at the last State elcc- ton when he ran for State tax com Those who voted for him then are giving him their loyal sup port this year in his higher aSpira- tions. and they realize that the stand ard of efficiency and fair-dealing which characterized his public service as tax commissioner will be of ines timable benefit to the State when ap- piled to the wider field of the govern orship.
