CTS include all of the members Of re- publican campaign party No ?, headed by Tom Campbell. which has been making such a successful and vigorous campaign in the northern part of the state. Town after town, city after city. have all been captured by the same convincing arguments that will be of fered Tuesday night at the high school auditorium
 Certain of Success
 Every day brings more glowing pros- poets Of success to the campaign of Tom Campbell So strongly is he run ming that democratic leaders in many parts of the state have already con- ceded his election. In view of this. there Is little doubt but that he will be the next governor of Arizona.
 If the exceptionally large audiences that have been greeting the most pop ular guLern4tOrial candidate in all parts uf the State is any criterion, the gathering that assemblies tomorrow night to hear Tom Campbell will be a record breaker. People Of all political faiths Nave been eagerly attending the Campbell meetings in all parts of Ari- zona and after hearing the big, fear less and honest man from Yavapai, they have been enthusiastically boost ing for his candidacy.
 Will Not Dodge Issues While he will be the principal speak CT at the meeting, the people will have an opportunity to hear several other of the state candidates who will appear on the rOstrum. They will have mess ages of force and eloquence convincing argumnts to present to the people in an honest and straightforward manner According t0 republican headquarters there will be no attempt to dodge any of the issues of this important cam i paign.
 The republican candidates declare they have nOthing to hide and this has ' been manifested time and time again 1 by their willingness to answer all ques- tions that have been asked of them from different audiences. This. it is pointed out. is in striking contrast with the very apparent reticence and unwill- , ingness on the part of some candidates ] of other parties who have repeatedly 1 refused to respond 10 questions Everything is in readiness for the big meeting tomorrow night and it is ex- pected that the voters of Phoenix and MaricOpa county. eager to hear the is- sues discussed out in the open" win respond to the invitation to hear the candidates, in large numbers.

NECKS ID BECOME
 GENUINE LUXURY

There was great deal of excitement in Phoenix yesterday and the day be- fore among those men, young and old, who are in the habit of diving up fif- teen cents for a shave, due to the fact that the Republican had announced that henceforth slaves would advance ten cents, and call for the huge and stupendous sum of two bits.
 This Is not the true state of affairs. Shaves will remain the same, except in those cases where neck shave is re- quired, and then the ten cents will be charged extra. When a hair cut is or dered and purchased the neck will be shaven gratis, and with much care and discretion
 The barbers claim that the high cost of living has required the advance.

ID LIFT EMBARGO,
 MIDNIGHT TONIGHT
Road Mill Use Whiting St. Yards
 Alone for Freight

The management of the New Haven road has decided that the freight em- bargo which has been in effect against the city of New Britain and other points in this vicinity shall be lifted at midnight tonight. Furthermore tho road has issued orders to the local freight office that for the time being, at least, there must be no car de- liveries between Chestnut street and Main street, and that the Whiting street freight yards be used entirely to handle all freight
 Result of Much Agitation.
 This action has come as a direct result of the activity of the Chamber of Commerce in protesting against this city. It had been brought out at several important conferences that New Britain shippers and receivers had been cooperating with the road so as not to tie up the cars and !so that the extensive Whiting street yards were being used but little, while the sidings between Chestnut and Main streets had to handle most Of the traffic.
 Play No FavOriteS.
 With this criticism in mind, the road officials decided to lift the en- bargo tonight. This will result in heavy inward movement of freight and it is imperative that the company have ample room to handle the cars in the vicinity of the center Knowing that refusal to make car deliveries on these sidings would raise a storm of protest from receivers, but realizing that the Whit ing street yards must be used to solve the problem, the company decided to play no fayorites and no receiver, big or little, will be permitted to use these tracks. Whether this move ment will be temporary or permanent is not known. The fact remains, however that all shipments must be received at the Whiting street freight yards and ~carted by team to their destinations
 The tracks near the center of the city, will now be used by the road entirely for storage purposes as a sort Of reservoir where cars can be cut out, assigned to their proper places and early deliveries thus assured.
 Room at Whiting St. Yards.
 There is plenty of room at present at the Whiting street yards to handle aif traffic, but should the rush of freight prove greater than the yard 1 can handle, the road is ready at once ! to enlarge the freight yards there by the installation of enough new tracks ] to insure proper service. l
 The decision in regard to no more i being received in the cen l ter of the city is being received with | qualification by many people, who be- | lieve that this will in some measure +I,.o. ing that is constantly in progress l across Church, Chestnut, Elm and l Main streets. Likewise it will stop l deliveries between the tracks on the l Elm street crossing and put a stop l to the danger of injuries to people l and teams driving parallel with the various Elm street sidings
