 PARTY SPEAK
 IN PALO VERDE
Special to The Republican,

PALO VERDE, Sept 23-An of the many claims that the democratic ad ministration have made that the pres ent prosperity is due to it's manage ment of the government, were com pletely wrecked this evening, when Governor J. H. Kibbey, republican can didate for United States senator, told more than 800 people a logical and the only possible reason for the improved financial condition of the country. Gov ernor Kibbey didn't leave the demo- crats a single argument and he was roundly cheered when he fired the stern facts and counter charges at the administration. That his audience was thoroughly convinced was evidenced from the warm and vOciferOus manner in which his remarks were received.
 Almost simultaneously with the in augural of President Wilson a most noticeable business depression spread over the land" Judge Kibbey declared. Tt continued until one of the most | severe financial panics in the history of the nation was rapidly approaching. l And it was all due to the limitation of | a protective tariff and democratic con- trol."
 But then the entire world was shocked by the beginning of the mighty European war" he continued. Hun dreds of thousands of stalwart men gave up their occupations on the other side of the world and went out upon the battlefield to engage in bloody conflict. This, of course, meant that they needed munitions of war, cloth ing, shoes mad forage. Most of these products were supplied them from the United States. Our big mills and fac tories were being worked to capacity T striking the nation, which threatened to even close Wall street, We were plunged into an era of great pros perity.
 Tn far off Japan and in the nations of South America prosperity was also manifested as many orders were placed in these countries. So isn't it just as reasonable to presume that they, too. owe their prosperity to the democratic administration of the United States"
 Governor Kibbey promised that in event of his election he would, at all times, stand firmly and conscentiously for the protection of American labor and Ameriacn industry. That he would sincerely strive to prevent a great in fluX of Europeans who would attempt to come here after the great war in an effort to escape further conscrip- tion. That he would do things and not stand upon the floor of the senate and deliver long and wearisome word pie lures only to have them published in the congressional records at the ex- pense of the people and to be sent to his dear constituents" through the mails (also at government eXpense) for campaign purposes.
 T won't write you letters but will get busy and do things for you," he em- phatically declared in closing And he was given the most vociferOus demon stratiOn ever accorded a candidate in this section. After the meeting nearly every one of his listeners swarmed about him eager to clasp his hand and assure him of their loyal support
 Judge Otis J. Baughn, republican candidate for supreme justice, re. iterated his plea for a strictly non- partisan supreme court as required by | the statutes of the state. And unles, | the political complexion of the highe | judiciary is changed, explained Judg ! Kaughn, the court cannot be non l partisan.
