Bisbee daily review., 1916-11-07
Arizona Senator Out for Demo- cratic Comrades, Stirs Voters to Wild Enthusiasm at Royal Theatre in BiSbee.
PRAISE FOR HUNT
 IS ENTIRELY ABSENT
Rest of Ticket Is Roundly Com mended by Senator in Eloquent Manner-Several Others Also Talk to Large Crowd.

Although ignoring the cldlllS Ol George w. P. Hunt to reelection eX- cept on a plea of loyalty to party, United States Senator Marcus A. Smith endeared himself to the hearts of a Royal Theatre audience last night by voicing a stirring forecast of victory for the Democratic party at today's election. His appeal for all Democrats to participate in this Hcto4y, however, was centered on championship of the merits of Presi- dent Wilson, United States Senator Ashurst and candidate Fred Sutter for the State Senate.
 Whitney Speaks First
 There was considerable uncertainty during the day as to whether Senator Smith would be able to reach Bisbee in time to address the meeting. The consequence was that a small assem- blaze was present in the Royal Thea tre to listen to other speakers secur- ed for the occasion. City Attorney Whitney, who presided, created an unfavorable impression from the first ty launching an attack upon the Workmens Compensation amendment A majority of the audience were swift to catch his mis-statement that a maximum of s4000 to be extended in seven-year payments was the best the amendment offered. As matter of fact, the amendment provides for the immediate payment of S5,0oo in case of death, following such proof as is required in all analogous cases. It also insures to workmen better protection in every way. than is en- joyed under the present statute.
 Smith Cheerd Wildly
 Shortly after p. m., word sped throughout the business district that Arizona's favorite Senator has reach ed Bisbee and there was a rush to the Royal Theatre. Nearly every seat was taken when Senator Smith ap- peared. He was greeted with rounds of applause and was introduced as soon as Judge Ward, of Phoenix, had concluded his remarks.
 The audience which previously had been apathetic, immediately took on an air of interest and before Senator Smith had concluded his introductory phrases there was an atmosphere of old-time Democratic enthusiasm.
 The speaker did his best to create sentiment for Governor Hunt, but he was quick to recognize the futility of continued effort He therefore dis missed the subject by stating it was the duty of Democrats to vote for Hunt because Hunt had been selected by them in the primaries. No other reason, no claim of merit were volun- teered for Hunts support.
 Senator Smith. on the other hand, advocated the reelection of Henry Ashurst because, he said, the junior Senator from Arizona deserved it on account of loyal work done for the State.
 The speaker was in his best vein when it came to discussion of nation al issues. He emphasized the point that under the Wilson administration this country has prospered exceeding ly and that prosperity could continue in no other way than by the return of President Wilson to the White House
 This is the hour of Democracy's triumph" he said, because the party makes its plea to the electorate on performances which have placed the country on basis that demands the admiration, not only of our own peo- ple but of the entire world"
