 Dr. NJ. Frouske is president, c. T. Wall, vice-president, and John Zaloha secretary of the Republican club iii this city. Like the club in Williams, the real activity will not begin until after the primary, when the member ship will grow rapidly.
 Coconino county IS going to give Tom Campbell rousing majority this Fall This prediction has been heard so much of late that 1t has come to be accepted as foregone conclu- sion by even some of the ardent Dem ocrats. Organization and team work combined with good men on the ticket from the head down, is what is spreading the optimism.
 Tom Campbell, candidate for gov ernor on the Republican ticket, ar rived in Flagstaff last evening after visiting the lumber mills en route from the Grand Canyon. Doane Mer- Till, candidate for State auditor on the Republican ticket, and George H. Smalley, candidate for State tax com missioner, accompanied him. The party arrived in The Favorite Son. auto, driven by Max Goheen, Camp bell booster from Prescott, who vol unteered to pilot the car over the roads of the State The party has en- countered some bad roads along the Old Trails route due to the heavy rains. but notwithstanding the hard ships of the journey Mir. Campbell and party are in excellent spirits and sanguine of success in November re- gardless of the Democratic nominees.
 Mir. Campbell and party met the people informally, visited the lumber mills, heard the good news of what is going to happen in Coconino county this Fall, and left late this afternoon for Winslow where they will spend the night and part of tomorrow.
 Coincidcnt with the visit of Tom Campbell and party, Miss Vivian Pierce, of the Congressional Union of Woman Suffrage Association, arrived in Flagstaff from the eastern part of the State. Mir Campbell did not meet her, but George H. Smalley called upon her at her hotel to learn some thing of the work in Arizona which she is doing under the direction of Mrs. St. Claire Thompson. Mir. Smalley's sister is chairwoman of suffrage organization in St. Paul, and he is much interested in the work.
 Don't vote for Democrats is our slogan, Miss Pierce told Mir. Smalley. When asked why, she said that the women could expect no help from that party. From President Wilson down the line there was opposition to the movement to give suffrage to women.
 Our association is non-partisan, she said, but the success of our movement depends upon the election of Charles E. Hughes and Republican United States senators and congress men. We are not saying to the wom- cn, vote for Republicans we are saying to them, don't vote for Presi- dent Wilson and his party followers for we cannot secure assistance from them.
 Registered As Democrats.
 Flagstaff, like every precinct m the the State, has its large quota of Re publicans registered as Democrats this year in order to vote for either Hunt or Olney in the primary. Many of the railway men who are Republi- cans want Hunt nominated. They arc giving him this assistance now when he needs 1t to overcome the big move ment toward Olncy in the State, but they contend that their obligation to help Hunt will cease at the primary.
 How many thousand Republicans are registered as Democrats this year, Is a common question. Every county has its hundreds and some of the bigger counties their thousands. Prominent Republicans are to be found all over the State who will ask for Democratic tickets in the pri- maries The Democratic vote will be tremendous all over the State in the primary election September l2th. The minimizing Dcniocratic leaders arc claiming that the registration repre- sent the strength of the two parties, but this is so absurd that 1t hardly needs comment.
 The registration officers all over the State are Democrats this year, and they have been appointed because Of their fealty for either Hunt or Olney. These registration officers frankly ad init that they have urged Republicans to assist them in their primary fght, and they have coraled them by the thousands in the State. The Olney men say that Republicans have come to their assistance to rid the State of the cancer which is eating the vitals of the State" and the Hunt adherents say that Republicans have come to their assistance to perpetuatc Hunt appointccs in office, to help personal friends who are candidates on the Democratic ticket, or to nominate Hunt in order 10 insure Tom Camp bells election.
 The Republican leaders in the vari- ous counties have tried in vain to stop Republicans from entering the Dem ocratic primaries. They were power less for the reason that the registra- ton officers in many places made this their special business and the impetus of the movement was so strong that
