k|BBEY IS SCORING SUCCESS
 IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA

strongest terms the lgnODle comparl- son made by Secretary of War, New ton D. Baker, in speech in Jersey City last Monday night, in which the Secretary stated according to news paper dispatches that "Washington's soldiers in the march to Valley Forge stole the silver vessels out of the churches and sold them for drink. They were just as bad characters as the Mexicans," Judge Joseph H. Kib- bey told Lowell audience in the Central theatre here tonight that if such report was true that Newton D. Baker was unfit to be allowed the privileges of American citizenship.
 Judge Kibbey read the dispatch in the Los Angeles Examiner of October 18th, the same heinz under New York date line of October 17th from the International News Service. |,
 "The idea," said Judge Kbbey, "of comparing George Washington with Villa and Carranza and chasing him as nothing but bandit leader. Think of branding the famished and freez- ing heroes of Valley Forge. who wrung our freedom from the British King and who stood staunch by the Father of this great country during the dark hours of that terrible win ter, as nothing but footing bandits as no better than Villas brigands."
 Judge Kibbey's speech was received with round after round of applause as he told of the action taken by Grover Cleveland and by Theodore Roosevelt, who were two Presidents who "have kept us out of war" but who had done so not by being "too proud to fight" but by rolling up their sleeves and telling the other fellow they were ready to fight if it was necessary to maintain American rights and American honor, and that such rights and such honor were maintained and fully respected by other nations who knew those men meant just what they said.
 Norman J. Mckenzie was it his best and completely captured the audience when he told them in his inimical way that he and his opponent were quite friendly and that he wished his op- ponent all the success in this contest that his opponent wished him.
 This district is McKenzie's home and his old friends and neighbors gave him rousing reception and many are predicting his election as State Mine Inspector.
 Judge J. c. Baughn delivered a very forceful and dignified address in support of his candidacy for the Supreme Court. He told his audience that they should elect to the Supreme bench free man, a fair man and a fearless man, who is under no obliga- ton to any political machine, inter- est or influence whatever, and stated that the best assurance that he will not be under any such obligation is to be found in the fact that he has never been under any such obligation. He told them that they should apply the acid test to the candidates for this high office and vote for that candi- date who best stood~the test and who came nearest to their ideal of judge It has developed that Judge Baughr is very strong in Bisbee and the Warren district and that large mum. bers of democrats here are going to accord him their support.
 Joe V. Prochaska made another hit tonight when he told of his honey. mon days in Warren and Lowell and how he was accorded a hearty recep. tion, his hearers applauded loudly when he stated that after being or the firing line for a greater Arizons for sixteen years and holding all sorts of jobs and doing all sorts of work nc one else would do and receiving nc pay for it, he was now out asking tht people of Arizona to elect him Secre tary of State so that he could have { job once that had salary attached
