FIVE SC0RE VOTERS AND DOC B, HEAR SOME RESCUE REMARKS
Court House Slaves Should Be Free; "Rcscue Club" Strong flor Rotation of Office Holders; Fear Re publican Menace

The rescue work was robly begun at the Y. NJ. c. A. stadium last night. The matter was left in the hands of com paratively few of the supposed 5000 Rescue Club. At any rate Chairman Garrison said that there were that many and offered the affidavit of a stenographer to prove it. Probably a hundred were present at the first meet ing of the organization.
 The Rescue Club was not. as many supposed, formed with the object of relieving Phoenix of the stigma of vice which has attached to 1t through the activities of bootleggers and white slayeTs, The idea is to rescue the dem ocratic holders of the county offices from the bond and thrGldom which they have endured for the past five years, and to restore them to the peace and quiet of private life.
 That is however, oElf one purpose of the club; another is to rescue the lead ins members of tie club from the drab- ness of private life and put them into the offices, The members of the club declared themselves in the most equiv ocal language to be ln favor of rota- tion of crops.
 Chairman Garrison introduced Dr. Hughes who declared that he was not a member of the club but was in sym pathy with it's chief purpose. to relieve the democratic party of weight which had been accommodating for the last five years. He would not say that the oc- cupants of the offices who were to be rescued were unworthy persons: they had possibly been good officials. as good as their successors might be- But they had been before the people so long that they had become monotonous. One gets tired of too much of a good thing even.
 It was the policy of the democratic party to give deserving officials sec ond term. The county officers by the grace of the supreme court had now had three terms It gas also been the policy of the democratic party not to give it's officers more than two terms and he was sure the party would not give the county officials another term; If 1t could not prevent their nomina- tion at the primaries it would contri- bute to their defeat at the polls and then. the disaster of q republican ad- ministration would be on the county.
 At the conclusion of Dr. Hughes re- marks, the Rescuer Extraordinary. the high priest of rescue work in this vii cinity, Judge A. $. Hawkins, was called to the stand. It was not necessary to resort to force to bring him before the audience.
 The judge began with an undertake ing to answer question that has been laundering dewn the ages unanswered What is truth? His answer may be described as negative and unenlight- ening, Something not to be found in the Phoenix newspapers" So, as to tie matter of the identity of truth, the aud fence was compelled to go out of the same hole by which it had entered.
 The rescue remarks of the judge henceforth were devoted to an exposi- ton of his claims upon a superior JudSeship of the county. That he was the man for whom the ermine had been cut out he proved by poetry and his tory, sacred and profane There could not be any doubt on that point in the
 
 the judge should receive 100 votes at the coming primaries he would feel sure that every member of tho audi ence had been impressed by his re- marks in behalf of the rescue of him. self from a private law practice.
 The speaking was concluded by Thomas Walton, whose soul is filled with pity for County Attorney Candy and who would rescue him from the predicament of the last two years.
 All the speeches were properly pune tured by applause in which d little black dog was an enthusiastic partici- pant notwithstanding various attempts were made to kick him over the tennis net. He subsided for a time but when pr. Hughes pointed out the possibility of q republican triumph next fall and E. F. Anderson and Andy Baumert cheered and clapped their hands. the little black dog betrayed his true de- mocracy by growing and threatening to take MT. Anderson by the leg.
 Throughout the proceedings many were heard to remark that it was q chilly night for the latter part of May
