| forty-eight hours will develop, but I
believe the east will not change noR.
Referring to Hughes sensational
appeals to ..save the country" RIr.
Parker asked: "Save the country from
what? Shall we save the country
from it's unprecedented prosperity,
and save the people from getting for
their products far more than they
ever have got before? There is not
manufacturer, not workman, who
is not as busy as he can be. Is this
what the Republicans would have us
save our country from?'
At this point Mr.. Parker threw in a
story he had heard on his tour, which
illustrates the value of products, and
which seemed to appeal to his audi
tors, judging from their response.
It is told of a certain citizen of
Michigan that he wanted a glass of
beer, but CHANGED to be without
money at the time So he took Il po-
tato from his psSch and passed it
over the bar in pas thent for the bever-
age. The root promptly was accept
ed as legal tender, and when the beer
was served the bar tender handed
him three beans as his change. This
story is especially apt. since beans
have risen from two cents to fifteen
cents per pound, and potatoes have
mounted in value from fifty cents to
one dollar and seventy-two cents a
bushel.
Before closing his address, Mr..
Parker made it clear that he un-
qualifedly indorses the federal re-
serve bank law, the farm loan bank
law, the workman's compensation law,
the ,1s5,s for the abolition Of child la
Dor, and the tariff commission, which
last, he pointed out, is for the first
time in twenty years nonpartisan in
it's personnel. And he made it clear
also that he is just as strongly against
the state board of affairs.
His final words were: 81 am not
asking you to vote for anybody.
What | do ask of you is that you vote
according to your honest convictions.
And | hope you will be with me in my
future fghts-not for Office, but for
what know to be right"

SERVICE OF SILVER
Will Be Presented to the
BattIeship Arizona,
September 18th

At the meeting Of the State Board
of Trade, held in Phoenix, May 18th.
a committee was appointed to pur
chase and raise funds to pay for "A
service of plate for the Batteship
Arizona. to be presented when that
superb specimen of naval architec-
ture goes into commission at New
York, September 18th.
In accordance with the authority
so reposed the committee closed a
contract with Reed & Barton. at
Taunton, Mass to manufacture and
deliver in Arizona, such a service,
at cost of $7,86l 20, an elegant
service of silver plate, with recog-
milton Of the States chief metallic
production in some of the pieces
Other expenses attendant upon the
gift will raise the cost to about
100000.
This sum the committee proposes
to raise by appeal to the patriotic
citizenship of Arizona. and various
methods of vOicing the appeal will
be made. Every newspaper will be
authorized to act as soliciting and
renting agents. collecting the
contributions and forwarding the
money to the secretary and treas
urer. At least two tag days" will
be observed in the chief cities and
towns of the State, and various
chambers of commerce, etc have
been asked to aid. To that end
tags have been prepared and sent
to the secretaries Of all the
commercial bodies throughout the
State and others Those receiving
them are requested to organize the
ladies and school children on the
Fourth of July. 1t is believed that
large sums may be derived from
those sources, Then there are other
methods for raising funds which
will be developed later.
When the service of plate is com,
pleted, which will be about the
Fourth Of July, it will be brought
to Arizona and exhibited at various
points, including the principal cities,
towns and county seats, that all
ArizOnans may see for themselves
the superb gift made by the people
Of the State and those doing huSi-
ness therein, to the great battle
ship named in their honor.
This is a matter of just and
patriotic pride for all Arizonans and
the committee feels that all will re
spOnd literally to the appeal herein
made.
