 KINGMAN, Aug. 2S.-Thc visit of Tom Campbell, Republican candidate for governor, to the Democratic stronghold of the State, has given the Republicans of Mohavc county such renewal Of energy and hope that many of them are predicting the cleo ton of the Republican county ticket
 The Democrats are divided by local differences of opinion, and the people generally are dissatisfied with the way things have been going under Demo- cratic control. In the northern part of the county where taxpayers arc called on to bear portion of the ex- rensc for improvements in kingman which is not incorporated, and in ad- dition have been entirely forgotten in many of the things they have demand cd, there is open hostility to the pres. cnt county administration.
 The Republicans have strong men in the field, and are out to win con- trol of county affairs and give the reoplc of the whole county a fair deal
 Tom Campbell's personal strength in Mohave county was apparent wher- ever he went. Not only arc the peo- pie friendly to him personally, but they believe in his policy of fair deal to all, which is exemplified in his public service in Arizona, and they are seriously considering wheth CT Arizona can afford to lose this op- portunity of securing his services in the greater field opened by the gov crnorship.
 As a mine operator many of the miners now in Mohave county work cd for Tom Campbell, and they are spreading the word of his fairness to labor and his genuine interest in their desires to better the condition of the workers. He does not have to ap- peal to the miners for his past record of many years as an employer of min CTS stands out to vindicate him, and the hundreds of men who formerly worked for him in the mines are force full campaigners in his behalf.
 All through the northern part of the State are to be found ardent Tom Campbell workers, regardless of poli- tical faith. That independence of thought and action which is inherent in strong men, is creating a current that is silently rallying to Tom Camp bell and his aspirations to serve his native State as its governor. This thought will increase as the campaign progresses and party lines will be shaken in Arizona in November to an extent never known in the State before.
 Mir. Campbell, who is accompanied by Doane Merrill, Republican candi- date for State auditor, and George H. Smallcy, candidate for State tax com missioner. visited Chloride and other precincts in Mohave county, and will proceed over the eastern portion of the State.
 Mir. Merrill has developed tircless ability as a campaigner. Every pre- cinct he visits old friends appear to greet him, for Mir Merrill is one of the really old-timcrs. As campaign e. he stands next to Tom Campbell, which is an enviable achievement for a tcndcrfoot in the political game, for Arizona has never produced better campaigncr than Tom Campbell.
 George II. Smalley is meeting many cid friends in the mining camps, and the people recall his boasts of their mining properties which appeared in the mining journals when he was . mining correspondent. His work in taxation matters in the State has add cd 10 his standing, and the people be- licvc that he will be of great service to the State as tax commissioner. Mir. | Smallcy's budget plan devised to stop the waste of public money in the State and counties is meeting with | approval everywhere.
