Hughes 8 Hour LdU
 Warming Recalled

New York, Oct. IT. = Con-
 menting on the official admission of Warren s. Stone. grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers, one of the four men chiefly responsible for the enactment of the so-called Adam son eight hour law. that he does not know 'just what the Adam son bill means. the republican national committee in a state ment last night said:
 ''The day before MT. Stone and his colleagues signed this circular Charles E. Hughes dis cussed the Adamson law in a speech at Newark, N. J.
 'Hasty legislation is likely to carry with it unweIcome sur prises.' said MT. Hughes. If eight hours is to be measure or standard of a days work" for the purpose of reckoning the com pensation to be paid, how are these men left who complete the prescribed number of miles Tn less than eight hours. There is much food for thought in this legislation, not only on the part of those men for whom it does not provide but also on the part of those to whom it expressly refers.
 Tt is apparent from the state ment of the circular sent out by Mir. Stone and his colleages that they are beginning to do some of the thinking about the Adam son law which MT. Hughes sug- gested that they do in his Newark speech. And they are finding that the law is not clear as it might be. They are beginning to pay one of the penalties for haste.
 But there is one man who af- fects to know just what the Adamson Jaw means, and inas- much as it was his surrender to the threat of a strike by the brotherhoods that drove the bill through congress he certainly ought to know all about 1t, and what it means. He is President Wilson. Time and time again since he signed the bill with four gold pens, and gave one to each brotherhood chief as a sacred souvenir, he has pro- claimed in public his satisfaction with this eight hour law as he always describes 1t, as an accom- of service to labor and humanity.
 Since MT. Stone and his col Ieages are in such doubt as to the meaning and application of the law, why don't they apply to Mir. Wilson for real information? Is there anything in their r-experi- ence with him which has caused them to begin to doubt his omni-

State Fair News

1IS IOCCnG cCCANALy OA ONA OAN friend Villa has put quietus on the motor cycle race from Her mosiIlo, Mexico to Phoenix. This race was framed with the thou ght that the spirit of sportsman ship entering therein would heal some of the little fractures of friendship which sundry actions of our aforementioned friend Villa had caused. But one can not possibly be friendly with a chap who shoots first and then asks questions, so. upon the ad- vice of several well informed Americans and Mexicans the taboo was put on any race that took the racers onto Mexican soil.
 Then some one had the bril- liant idea of increasing the in- terest in the northern portion of our own state and the wires were at once used by Secretary Shaughnessy of the State Fair Commission to find out what cities of the North wished to ex- tend help in making the road  race a success. He wired Craig Pottinger of Flagstaff asking if Flagstaff could raise three hun dred dollars if that city were made night control station and. it only took a very few minutes for Pottinger to answer that Flagstaff not only could but would raise the necessary coin.
 Then the starting point was talked of and Springerville was chosen so thus the race that was to have been the Hermosillo- Phoeix has changed it's cognomen to the Northern Arizona Spring erville to Phoenix Classic.
 This is a good thing for Nor thern Arizona as every motor cycle paper and magazine will report the race and thus the towns along the way as well as the National Old Trails Highway will come in for their need of publicity.
 All of the motor cycle factor ies best riders will be in this event and it will be watched by every motor enthusiast in the country.
 The route to be followed will be as follows. Springerville- start, Nov. 9th-St. Johns, Hol- brook. Winslow. Flagstaf-night control. Start, Nov. 10th Flag staff, Williams, Ashfork, Pres colt, Congress, Wickenburg, Phoenix.
 That will bring the boys into Phoenix on the afternoon of the 10th and give them a sufficiency of time to fit up their machines for the big track races to be held at the Fair. Monday, the 18th. the crownlng event of which will be the open international one hour championship, held under the auspices of the Federation of American Motor. cyclists. This is the first time Arizona has ever drawn one of the three big year ly events of the F. A. M. and it will mean a race such as has never been seen in the state be- fore, Riders from all oyer the world are eligible and doubtless some of the most famous drivers in the world will come to Ari- zona to compete.

fence in banking and accounting.
 He has been a resident of Ari- zona for almost 40 years.
 Tom Campbell, as Governor. will need the support of a com potent auditor.
 MT. Merrill has been making a most favorable impression in every city and town which he has visited. He is qualified by long experience for the position.
The Holbrook news., 1916-10-27

Reports from all over the state show that Tom Campbell has been making tremendous gains in every section of the state and his election by from 2500 to $500 majority is absolutely assured.
 Tom Campbell has been mak- ing clean campaign. He has been winning Democratic votes everywhere. Thousands of De- mocrats are today wearing the Campbell button. They re- cognize that he is efficient, courageous and independent. and see in him the only hope of re- deeming their party from the Hunt machine.
 A great body of Democrats in the state feel that Hunt has had enough faYors at the hands of their party, having occupied the governors chair for five years. They believe that Tom Campbell will not give the state a partian administration such as Hunt has done but will be the governor of the whole people.
 The Democratic leaders them selves realize that Hunt is slip ping every day. They are re- sorting to desperate tactics to stem the rising tide of sentiment in favor of Tom Campbell.
 It has been demonstrated that the state of Arizona is more in- dependent than Democratic. A few hundred votes changed in previous elections would have elected Republican governors had the Republican party been united as It is today. Twenty thousand registered voters did not go to the polls at the last election and five thousand of those who did go did not vote for governor. With a president to be chosen and widespread inter- est in the state, it is certain that a big vote will be cast and that the silent vote will be almost un- animous for Tom Campbell.
 Democrats everywhere are conceding that Tom Campbell is as good as elected today.

John L. Gust, for Attorney General
 Is one of the brilliant young lawyers of the state. He has always supported practical pro- hibition laws, but has never up- braided or denounced those who thought differently. He has al- ways favored Woman's Suffrage, has supported the rights of labor, believes that more liber- ality should be shown to capital engaged in useful pursuits, and has never been in politics or a candidate for public office before. He is successful attorney at Phoenix.

AflZOna IS soon to vote on the
 candidacy of a man who, when
 governor, devoted extremely lit
 tie time to palaver. and still less
 to pulling the wool over the eyes
 of the labor unions, but a great
 deal to action. He is former
 Gov. Joseph H. Kibby, candidate
 for the United States senate,
 who prevented one great labor strike by telling each side in short words exactly what to ex- pect. and who ''intervened' in
 Mexico with no fuss but with great effectiveness.
 Gov. Kibbey's act of ''inter- Yention" is little known, com paratiyely. On June 1, 1906, the Cananea strike developed in which several thousand Mexl- cans, led by Gutierrez de Lara and
 Manuel Dieguez, now a Carranza general. left their employment, and in their effort to close down the entire mining works, began 'arioting which Col. Bill Greene did his best to check and in which two Americans lost their lives. A reign of terror followed. The Mexlcans, while rioting, de- cIared their intention of driving every American out of camp. There were many hundreds of Americans then in Cananea, by far the larger number unarmed, and from June 1 to June 3 they were in great peril.
 Word of their plight reached the American border and at Bis bee a posse of 600 men was or gsnized to go to their relief. Capt. Tom Rynning of the Ari- zona Rangers was chosen tohead the force, but before accepting he felt bound to consult his su- perior officer. the governor of the state. Capt. Rynning wired Gov. Kibbey for instructions and was ordered to make all possible speed to the rescue of the Amer jeans.
 The band of Americans enter ed Mexico at Naco. very much against the will of the Mexican officials there, and they went right down the railroad to Can anea. Their coming put an inn mediate end to the rioting, and they held the camp until MeXi- can control was restored. It sol happened that Col. Emilio Kos terlitzsky, who was in command of the Sonora rurales, and whose chief job was sitting on the lid at Cananea, was absent with most of his men when the riot ing broke out. Otherwise there would have been no rioting, for evil inclined Mexicans were more afraid of Col. KosterIitzsky than of Gen. Torres himself, and Gen. Torres meant Diaz in those days. | Kosterlitzsky came back to the camp in a hurry, and Capt. Rynnlng and his men turned the situation over to the rurales. The possemen sold their guns to the American population and re- turned to Bisbee, and the trouble was over.
 Gov. Kibbey deserved, by req son of his decisive stand, to share the credit with Rynnlng and his men. His whole record has been filled with deeds quiet ly accomplished. And yet it is possible that a man of words, rather than one of action. may be elected to the senate. -El

 Political Preferences of The New:
 The News heartily endorses the candidacy of Miss Dee M. Moss for the office of county recorder on the democratic ticket. Miss Moss is now closing her first term in that office, and the en- viable record the office has en- joyed for efficiency, and courteous treatment of the public entities her to reelection. Not alone have people of her own political faith been accorded considerate treat ment, but members of all politi- cai parties have fared as well. The fact that the republicans of the county had difficulty in find ing any candidate willing to make the race against Miss Moss, is evidence that they consider 1t impossible to defeat her. The News predicts that Miss Moss will lead her ticket and that her majority will be large.
 Professor Joseph Peterson, democratic candidate for superin- tendent of schools, is another candidate seeking reelection who has made good in office. Since he entered upon the duties of the office, the efficiency in the schools of the county have in- creased more than hundred per cent, and today they rank as high as those of any county in the state. Prof. Peterson has spent years in school work, he believes in advanced and up-to- date methods and he is worthy of another term. The News pre- diets that his majority will be large one.
 On the theory that one good term deserves another, Fay l. Gardner, democratic candidate for assessor, should be reelected to another term. In another column of this paper MT. Gardner publishes a signed communca- tion to the voters of the county. He renders a detail statement of the assessors office during his incumbency, and this IS worthy the careful persual of every reader of the paper. No one fami- liar with all the facts can charge Mr. Gardner either with incom- potency or favoritism. and the voters should retain him in office for another term.
 The News believes that the re- publicans have nominated the best men for the state assembly. J.E. Richards for the lower house is a man of broad intelligence and he is well qualified to. fill the office to which he aspires. E. T. Tanning is a railroad conductor and has had experience in legis- lative affairs. The election of these two men to represent Maya jo county in the state assembly will be a wise thing for the voters to do.
 The election of sheriff in Maya jo county will be determined by the two factors of party prefer ence of the voters and personal popularity of the candidates. Both the democratic and the re- publican candidates have a per sonal following which will vote for them regardless of party af- filiations. Each has been sheriff of the county and each has at tended to the duties of the office in an acceptable manner. The business of the office will be safe in the management of either Mir. Mamuoar Oy.
