BY LYLE ABBOTT

IUCSON, ArlI., May b-N nen standpat leaders forced through | movement to redlstrict Arizona for thereby lending between the hastily organized progressive delegation from Maricopa county, what strength lead- CTS for Ralph Cameron had obtained in number of tentative trades, shrank in today's session of the state republican convention. Cameron lost the state republican nomination to the convention on a subsequent mo- ton by vote of 1Sl to 93.
 Even the most optimistic support CTS of Colonel Roosevelt conceded that the Arizona delegation, as con stituted in caucuses following the mo- ton to redistrict is hopeless. Of the six, but one is known to be in any wise favorably disposed toward Col onel Roosevelt.
 Although not a Roosevelt man. Camerons strength lay chiefly among the progressives. Tied up by the unit rule in at least two counties Cameron lost scattering votes, but not enough to have won for him.
 Standpat leaders agreed after ad- ivurnment that had the continuation If progressive votes been permitted, by means of the desperate trades at tempted during the early part of the session. the result might have been different.
 At 10:15 o'clock Secretary Thomas Maddock. of the State Central com mittee, called the delegates to order and said this was the largest and most enthusiastic body of republi- cans he had ever seen and paid trib- ute to the absent chief. Joseph Kib- bey. Applause was forthcoming. He said the mistake of 1908, when one republican was placed in the presi- dency and another in the supreme court was about to be corrected. He then recognized Joe Kleindienst. of Navajo and the morning session was officially placed on the skids. Klein dienst moved the selection of Judge Sloan for chairman. This was car ried by a viva voce vote. Marlcopa voting aye. in accordance with the agreement reached in the 9 o'clock caucus. Thomas Campbell and J Lorenzo Hubbell were named to es- cort Judge Sloan to the chair. Cheer ing was prolonged as Judge Sloar took his place. Sloan opened his key note speech by putting Maricops county in the clear as regards his SC. lection. He said he hoped that a, outside counties had supported hin for the chairmanship. this would no he held to embarrass Marieopa ii anything they might want to put be fore the convention. Judge Sloan pre- diCted party success in the fall. w are not mere party of opposition. he said. A distinct thread of amia bility toward the Roosevelt men wa found in his succeeding remarks, il which he said the Republicans stool for q reasonable protective tariff .Americanism. real preparedness and definite stand both on questions c foreign and Mexican policies Amer icanism is characteristic of th republican perty. said the judge H touched very lightly on state issuei merely saying he hoped there woul be a subordination of personal de sires to the good of the party.
