(From Tuesdays Daily.0

 The weak, vacillating head of the American government was bitterly scored last night in the Elks theatre in a most masterful manner by Con gressman Clarence B. Miller. of Du- luth, Mich. The broken blanks, for gotten promises and lost pledges, were all exposed. And more than 1 600 people cheercd Congressman Miller until the heavy walls of the building reverberatcd with their ap- plause.
 The Democrats raised their hands i in holy horror over an expenditure of one billion dollars by the Republicans during l9ll," said Congressman Mill Ter, yet they spent nearly two billion dollars of the peoples money during the year just closed. And most of this for pork tool"
 That patriotism is manifestly lack ing as result of our ignominious re- treat from Vera Cruz, of our failure to execute the many threats hurled at European powers, of the heavy and expensive patronage distributed to deserving Democrats" by the crea- ton of nearly 10000 new offices and political jobs, has all been witnessed during the administration of the edu cational president. These and in numerable other truths were hurled at the audience by the Michigan con gressman while Democrats, Socialists and Republicans, all as one, cheered him vociferously.
 He drove home the vital issues, the truths and the glowing blunders and many mistakes under Democratic rule in many pointed sentences with such conviction that even political enemies of the grand old party were compelled to applaud him.
 Governor J. H. Kibbey, Republican candidate for United States senator, delivered his most convincing, the most eloquent speech of the present campaign. He. admitted that Presi- dent Wilson was man of high and lofty ideals, of unquestioned patriot ism, of great learning and perfect habits, but declared that his training, his education and his vocation in life were not such as to fit him for the big, practical things that are neces- sary for the head of our government to accomplish.
 "I will not attempt to describe the sunlight on the side of the Grand Canyon, nor will I endeavor to move the San Francisco peaks by mere words, they will remain where they are no matter what I say" declared Governor Kibbey. And this was the only reference he made to his oppon- ent, who is attempting to hide the is sues of the campaign behind wild and flowery flights of oratory.
 Not an unnecessary word was said during the address of Arizona's best loved governor. Every opinion he en- tertains, every issue he believes in, and every angle of the campaign was discussed in the straightforward and honest manner that is characteristic of him. There was no hesitancy in his delivery and no effort to mislcad his listeners.
 Joe V. Prochaska, candidate for secretary of State made most favor able impression and was roundly cheered when he pleaded for a strict ly business administration in the i'm portant office that has, apparently, been forgotten in the interest which has been ccntered upon the senatorial and gubernatorial contests.
 Judge Otis J. Baughn, candidate for Supreme justice, delivered the best speech has has made during the cam paign. His earnest plea for a strictly non-partisan Supreme court met with almost unanimous favor. It was an impassioned plea he made, but force full He declared that he would rem der all decisions in impartial fairness to both sides and assured his listeners that, if they voted for him, they would never have cause for regret.
