KIBBEY AT LOWELL FLATS BAKER FOR
 "DISL0YAL" TALK
Comparison Credited to War Secretary that Valley Forge Men Like Villa, Rankles in Republicans Breast.

tary of War Newton D. Baker in a speech in Jersey City last Monday night, in which the secretary stated according to newspaper dispatches, that "Washington's soldiers in the march of Valley Forge stole the silver vessels out of the churches and sold | them for drink. They were just as bad characters as the Mexicans," Judge Joseph H. Kibbey told a Low ell audience in the Central Theatre tonight that if such report was true that Newton D. Baker was unfit to be allowed the privileges of American citizenship.
 1 Judge Kibbey read the dispatch in the Los Angeles Examiner of October IS, the same being under a New York date line of October r from the International News Service.
 'The idea" said Judge Kibbey, "of comparing George Washington with | Villa and CarranZa and chasing him as nothing but bandit leader. Think of branding the famished and freezing heroes of Valley Forge, who wrung
 
 who stood staunch by the Father of this great country during the dark hours of that terrible winter, as noth- ing but footing bandits-as no better than Villas brigands."
 Judge Kibbey's speech was received with round after round of applause as he told of the action taken by Grover Cleveland and by Theodore Roosevelt, who were two presidents who had kept us out of war" but who had done so not by being ''too proud to fight, but by rolling up their sleeves and telling the other fellows they were ready for fight if it was necessary to maintain American rights and American honor, and that such rights and such honor were maintained and fully respected by other nations who knew those men meant just what they said
 Norman J. Mckenzie was at his best and completely captured the audience when he told them in his inimical way that he and his oppon- ent were quite friendly and that he wished his opponent all the success in this contest that his opponent wished him.
 This district is McKenzie's home and his old friends and neighbors gave him rousing reception and many are predicting his election as state mine inspector
 Judge O. J. Baughn delivered a very forceful and dignified adderss in support of his candidacy for the su- preme court. He told his audience that they should elect to the supreme bench a free man, fair man and a fearless man, who is under no obliga- tion to any political machine, interest or influence whatever, and stated that the best assurance that he will not be under any such obligation is to be found in the fact that he has never been under any such obligation. He told them that they should apply the acid test to the candidates for this high office and vote for that candidate who best stood the test and who came nearest to their ideal of a judge. It has developed that Judge Baughn is very strong in Bisbee and the War ren District and that large numbers of Democrats here are going to accord him their support
 Joe V. Prochaska made another hit last evening when he told of his honey moon days in the Warren District and was accorded a hearty reception. His hearers applauded loudly when he stated that after being on the firing line for greater Arizona for sixteen years and holding all sorts of jobs and doing all sorts of work no one else would do and receiving no pay for it. he was now out asking the people of Arizona to elect him secretary of state so that he could have a job once that had salary attached to it.
 After the meeting, at which Lorenzo Wright, county candidate for sheriff. | spoke, also in support of his candida cy for that office, the party attended the big Catholic Bazaar in Bisbee and were accorded an enthusiastic recep- tion.
 me entlre party has been received | In this district with marked enthusi- 1 asm and much attention has been giv- en them. They were met at the top of the Divide from Tombstone canyon | and escorted into town by numerous automobiles to the lin of auto horns. | They leave today for Douglas.
 In justice to both Judge Kibbey and | Secretary Baker this remark must be added that Secretary Baker last night denied making the statements credited to him by certain news agency Baker said he had, and has only praise of the highest sort for the | heroes of Valley Forge.
