 The punch is not only confined to the atmosphere but is very marked Tn the added interest in state politics slhce Tom Campbell spoAe Co the peo- pie Of Williams. The rally last night was very enthusiastic, the hal filled to its capacity, and the people nl- tensely interested In the popular can didate for governor and Wnat he stands for.
 Coconino county will do better than 1t has ever done in the past for the republican ticket. and those who know the sentiment predict an overWhelm- Ing majority for it from top to bot tom. Williams is enjoying unusual prosperity and the people are very | busy, hut they are going to vote this year in greater numbers than ever | before even though they are too busy 1 just now to give much time to dis cussing political issues.
 In his address here last night. Mr. ! Campbell likened the state to great corporation with the people as it's stockholders and upon that basis he presented his cause. He first out lined the extravaganza in state ad- minis istration. and then summed up his case by pointing out specific changes in administration which he said would rebound not only to the fiscal but the moral credit of the people. His fn- dictment of the governor and his ad-
 ministration was given from figures
 which he had compiled and which he
 said could not be successfully contra
 dicted
 He showed the increase cost to the
 taxnayers cf Coconino county since

 crease in taxable wealth in this couu-
