INTERESTING INCIDENT IN THE STORY OF ARIZONA RECALLED AT WILCOX MEETING.
Special to the Journal-Miner.

a crowded house in Morgan hall here
 tonight, Judge Joseph H. Kibbey made one of the best speeches he has made so far during this. campaign
 Reference was made by the chairman of the meeting, NJ. A. Morgan to 8 recent article in the Fl Paso Herald regarding the action of some 600 Ari- zonans in going to the relief of en- dangered Americans in Cananea dur ing the administration of Governor Kibbey. When he arose to speak Judge Kibbey stated that there had been some slight inaccuracies in the article which had been called to his attention and he then proceeded to detail the circumstances of that cpl sode.
 American lives and property having been placed in grave danger by up- risings and disturbances in Cananea, said Judge Kibbey, bunch of good red-blooded Americans from in and around Bisbee and Southern Arizona decided to go to their rescue. There was no time, said he, for the policy of wasteful watching. Something had 10 be done and done immediately. Thomas H. Rynning was then cap tain of the Arizona Rangers. "With- out my knowledge he quickly gather ed about him about 600 staunch and fearless citizens and went to Cananea as was proper. Before he left he mailed me his resignation as such officer and then cut the wires so l could not communicate with him or be communicated with. He went to Cananea, accomplished the object of his trip, and returned with his men to this Territory. I tore up his resigna- ton and at the first opportunity pro noted him. I also told him that if he needed any further assistance that all the power and strength of the Terri tory of Arizona, which I could com mand as governor, was at his disposal, if necessary I then at the first oppor- tunity in person reported the matter to the president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, and the only an swer or comment I got was one of his characteristic grins and there the mat ter ended concluded Judge Kibbey.
 Not a protest was filed by the Mexican government" said Judge Kip bey, because we had at that time a good red-blooded American president, who meant what he said and whose word on behalf of America was re- spected throughout the world, be- cause other nations knew he meant just what he said. Regarding the sit nation in Mexico during the past three years had one word been spoken by real American in the White House at the outset it would have saved it all so far as American lives and prop erty were concerned" said Judge Kibbey.
 Joe " Prochaska, candidate for sec rotary of State, made a splendid talk in which he went into facts and gave figures to show that Arizona was not Democratic nor Republican but in dependent, and closed by telling the audience he would like to hold at least one job which had a salary at tached to it. He was well received.
 J. Harrie Cloonan, candidate for corporation commissioner, made good talk in the course of which he stated that Colonel Roosevelt had paid high praise to the ability and fcarlessness of Judge Kibbey and had said before a packed audience that Judge Kibbey was the one man who had during his term as president real ly licked him. He told of his expert ence in work of nature to fully qualify him for the position of cor poration commissioner
 Judge O. J. Baughn, made one of the best talks ever heard in Wilcox His argument was clear, forceful and convincing. Many of those in the audience came to him after the meet ing and told him they liked his ad- dress very much and intended to sup port him. He dealt upon the ncces- sity for non-partisan Supreme court and the only step the people of the tate could take in that direction now under our present system was to split the political complexion of the court
 The members of the party were ac- corded big reception here. A band gathered at the hotel and with many blazing rcd fire sticks the big crowd took up the line of march to Morgan hall The hall was beautifully decor atcd and was completely filled with people. After the meeting a big dance was pulled off for the benefit of those
