.IN POLITICS Being Original And Culled Notes From Exchanges Up
 on Interesting Subjects

While the Republican convention at | Tucson endorsed no candidates for state offices at this time, it was un- iversally conceded that Tom Campbell was to be the standard bearer. A Nogales man brought up 1000 badges to give to Campbell boosters and then aad to turn. down hundreds of people
 who wanted to wear them. MT. Camp bell received an ovation every time he appeared and that he would be the next governor of Arizona was the -1ncensus of opinion.-Clifton Mining Journal.
 Following the Chicago and Pres ,ott convention, a big Republican club will be organized in Tucson, says the Citizen. Those who Lold federal, state, county or city offices will not be eligible to serve as officers of the club. First voters will be particularly. welcomed in the organization.
 George Olney, candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor. is continuing his campaign with vigor. He has visited nearly every Lounty in the state and reports from various sections indicate that he is gaining daily in strength.
 George H. Smalley, city auditor of Tucson, will probably be a candidate for state tax commissioner at the coming Republican primaries.
 The members of the Arizona del egation to the Chicago convention are planning to meet in the Windy City on June 4th. John B. Wright will leave Tucson on the morning of June ist. c. A. Overlook will leave Doug las June 2nd. Leroy Anderson has already gone east. Ph. Freudenthal will leave June 1st, while r. s. Breen will go east over the Santa Fe at that time.
 Dame Rumor has it that the city Republican campaign managers are sSing to ask the Democrats where a good portion of their campaign fund came from. We don't know.
 Business is picking up with the closing of the registration and the cessation of the meningitis scare. The candidates are coming out of their retirement and for the next nine days Bisbee will see a whirlwind of the least sensational campaign ever staged here.
 Betting is aLout even as between Mayor I. C.. E. Adams. for reelection, and Billy Tonkin. It's nearly fifty fifty, from the outsiders standpoint.
 Several meetings of Republican and Democratic complexions may be ex- pected during the coming week to boost the respective merits of the various candidates.
 Local option petitions are appearing i in Bisbee and, from present indica- ! tions, are being readily signed. Those interested say the measure will carry | in this county by a very substantial ! majority. Others, telling of the senti- ment in Maricopa county. say the measure has no chance to "get by"
 J. Bert Policy, present constable of BiSbee, is a candidate to succeed him | self this fall. Policy is credited with having a long lead on any of his pos , sible opponents, no one of which has as yet appeared on the horizon.
