PRACTICALLY
ARE UNANIMOUS FOR TOM
CAMPBELL FOR GOVERNOR

is worthy of comment that among his
staunchest personal friends now, some
of whom are among the warmest sup
porters for his candidacy for govern
or, are men who direct the interests
of Senator Clark in Arizona.
Campbell a Cattleman
All the cattlemen of Yavapai coun-
ty are for Tom Campbell. They rec
ognize the fact that he is one of them.
Mr.. Campbell was really born in
the cattle business. Ever since his
early manhood, the cattle business
has been the basis upon which he has
worked, and at the present time he
runs a large ranch with his brother,
J.. X. Campbell on the head of the
Verde in Yavapai county.
Mr.. Campbell's initiative and quick
perception is recognized by the cattle
men who know that he has been able
to help secure much legi,lation in
their interests. 1t was largely through
him that the present organization of
the cattlemen was brought about in
Yavapai county, and even now the
organization insists upon carrying
him as one Of its executive officers.
Mr.. Campbell is also one of the
executive officers of the Arizona Cat
tie Growers Association. He was
chosen by this organization as one of
their representatives to the last two
meetings Of the National Live Stock
Association.
These facts mean that the election
of Mr.. Campbell would be of vast ad-
vantage to the cattlemen and their
allied interests. 1t would mean that
when they went to Phoenix, they
would have governor who would be
interested in the things that they
might ask. If these things were un-
wise, the governor would tell them so
frankly. If, on the other hand, the
things desired were desirable, they
would know that the whole influence
of the governor would be turned to-
wards helping satisfy their needs.
Has Large Mine Interests
Naturally, since Mr.. Campbell is a
Yavapai man, he has been interested
in mining. Even now he has consid-
cradle interests in several important
properties. 1t is worthy Of note that
since 1898, Mr.. Campbell, personally,
has been responsible for bringing to
Arizona in the neighborhood of a mil
lion dollars of foreign capital which
has been used in developing various
mining properties in different parts
of the state. He was a pioneer in the
mining development Of the Verde dis.

In spite of his other interests, Mr.
