 Clark said many able lawyers agreed with the decision, but that he would rather be known as the poorest lawyer in Arizona and dissent from the opin- ion, than to be known as the abest lawyer and agree with it.
 He further disclaimed any desire to criticise the court but said he was simply exercising his right not to agree with the decision.
 Marion Lawrence spoke very elo- quently and appealed to the audience to pass the new amendment It was announced that on next Sun day all candidates for office would be given a chance to speak.

photoplay fan. Don't fail to read
the special Dustin Farnum auto

Thursday-"TheS Spider" the next
great production in which Pauline

most thrillingly dramatic stories that

limited opportunity, as she plays two
diversely opposite roles, Valerie st.

serted daughter Joan.
Friday-With all the strength and

Clyde Fitch's great drama of present

its emotional appeal this play will
live forever as one of the foremost
