CAMPBELL PARTY IN B|SBEE ON
 PRIMARY DAY
TRIP IS MADE TO WACO AND CAMP OF THE AR FIONA REGIMENT VISIT ED SEVERAL HOURS.

BISBEE, Sept. 12-Tom Campbell,
 Republican candidate for governor,
 and party, arrived here this morning
 from Douglas. The party spent a few
 hours informally meeting the voters.
 They were in evidence on the streets
 early and the voting precincts were
 crowded all day The election passed
 off very quietly. and the vote was
 heavy.
 Campbell and party were given T
 reception at Lowell when they stop | ped there for an hour en route to
 Naco. Mir. Campbell met many old time friends, and the Republican can
 didates were taken through the
 crowded streets and met hundreds of voters.
 At Naco after visiting E. A. Poison and other Republican leaders, the
 Campbell party went to the camp of the Arizona regiment and spent sev- eral hours. The officers and men were greatly disappointed because but few of them were allowed to vote Only those who had certificates of registra- ton and transfers were accepted by the election officers. and they were few in number There are over 800 voters in the Arizona regiment, an1 the vote cast by the soldiers was small. They had been advised that they could vote by showing their reg istration and swearing in their vote, but the officers of the election re- fused, so there was genuine disap- pointment and not a little anger in the camp today That there will be no slip when the election in Novem- Der rolls around is to be made cer- tain.
 The officers and men arc in excel lent health and spirits and Torn Campbell, MT. Merrill and Mir. Small ley were given a cordial reception. Owing to an engagement in Bisbec the party was unable to remain to witness the regimental parade in the evening, and they were compelled also to refuse an invitation to dine with Captain Sidney Mashbir
 Captain Soto, Tucson officer, was busy preparing his company's quar- ters, the move from Fort Huachuca having been completed only last Sat urday.
 The political affiliations of the regi- ment go into every party and fac. ton. but one thing is certain. Tom Campbell made an impression among the soldiers which will make it hard for them to pass his name on the No vember ballot without placing cross opposite it.
 Bisbee has live Republican club of which Bertram Smith is president. A recent meeting taxed the capacity of the hall and many were turned away. Secretary Johnson of the Bis bee Club, escorted the Campbell party over the city and to Naco.
 The same condition was found here n Bisbee relative to the registration of Republicans in the Democratic pri- nary. The Hunt-O -Olney controversy md local contests were responsible or this, the Republicans having no .ontcsts to make it worth while to hem to register in the Republican primaries.
 The number of Republicans who did lot register at all is very large in Co., hise county, and the Republicans arc O make a campaign at once to secure heir registration.
 Campbell and party leave in the morning for Tombstone, where a ouple of hours will be spent, and rom there to Fairbank, Benson and tucson. arriving at the latter place at o'clock Wednesday evening.
 This completes the journey cover ig $500 miles which Mir Campbell, Ir. Smalley and Mir Merrill began at hocnix August 9 Mir Campbell i'll go to Phoenix from Tucson to onsult with Chairman Tom MaddocIl Id Doane Merrill will return to his ,p,o Tn Pausop
