| WILLIAMS, Aug ZS-I Om Camp
 bell, Republican candidate for gov
 cInor arrived here from the west this
 afternoon, and was met by Tom Mad
 dock, chairman of the State central
 committee, Fred Ferguson, president
 of the Williams Republican Club, and
 other enthusiastic Campbell men and
 Republican leaders.
 Williams has one of the best Re-
 publicans clubs in the State, and its
 activity IS already felt in the little
 city which is evidenced by the enthu-
 siasm for Republican success from the
 national ticket down to the precinct
 officers. The club has a membership
 of l65 and its growing every day. While many of the pioneers in tho
 Larty are active members, the young
 men of the city are taking a strong
 lead in the club movement and the work outlined for its members. The leaders point conclusively to the ef- fcctual work of the club in each cam paign it has taken part, and they also call attention to the fact that the ono campaign that this club was inactive the Democrats were successful. So they know whereof they speak when the claim is made that Williams is solidly Republican this year.
 There was a large attendance O: members of the club during the even ing of Mir. Campbell's visit to Will liams. After the business of the club had been transacted, Chairman Fergu- son introduced Mir. Campbell, Doanc Merrill, and George H. Smalley, who spoke
 NIT. Campbell told of his journey over the State and of the encourage mcnt given him by the people. The Republicans and Progressives he found united and working for the sue cess of the Republican ticket, and in addition the great independent vote, interested only in advancing the best interests of the State, was pledging their support to the Republicans this year. Dissatisfied with the situation 1 in their own party, many Democrats | are now openly supporting the ma, tional and State candidates of the | Republican party, and he assured the club members that Arizona was about | to enter upon its first Republican | year as a State.
 Tom Campbell is very popular in Williams, as he is throughout the | State, and the voters of the thriving lumber city at the foot of Bill Will liams' Peak, arc going to give him record vote this year.
 Chairman Tom Maddock spoke of i the worl, underway to make Arizona a Republican State. He told of the men composing the State ticket, how each man was particularly qualified for the work of the position he sought, and that Arizona had never presented ticket so complete in abil- ity, efficiency, and popularity as the State ticket which will go before the people in the Republican column this Fall.
 Doane Merrill, pioneer telegraph operator, merchant, and banker, told of his carly life in the territory, and after he had modestly reviewed his business career in Arizona he did not have to tell the club that he was quail fed for the position of State auditor for the particular lines of vacations followed by him have emincntly train cd him for the work as State auditor and member of the board of control
 George H. Smallcy spoke of the part he had taken as an industrial writer in bringing to the attention of the world the great resources of Co- conino county. Mir. Smallcy 2O years 7go spent three months writing arti- cles describing the mines, cattle and sheep ranches, and the lumber indus try of this county, and these articles were largely instrumental in bringing capital to the county. He spoke of his first work in taxation in Minnesota under the income tax law, and later ; on his practical taxation work in this State as director of taxation associ- ations in Maricopa and Pima coun- , hes.
 The Campbell party will leave in { the morning for the Grand Canyon | where they will spend the day and . night meeting the voters there. |
