Pro- chaska, candidate for secretary of state; Judge Otis J. BauShn, candi- date for supreme justice, and Norman J. Mckenzie, candidate for state mine inspector, addressed one of the most enthusiastic audiences of the present campaign. It was q banner meeting.
 American labor and American in dustres need protection declared Governor Kibbey, the panacea for po- litical ailments in the state and na- ton is a permanent and constructive goVernment-a sound republican ad ministration And this is what the state and nation are going to have"
 Here Judge Kibbey was greeted by the most enthusiastic applause ac- corded him on his campaign. iu fact it appears as though every town is rapidly becoming disguste1 with the weak vacilating policies of the ad- ministrations in both state and nation and are awakening to the realization that the only industrial. political and social salvation. possible is the cleo ton of a constructive republican ticket.
 Joe Prochaska. opened the meeting by explaining the important labors tc be accomplished in the office of sec retarv of state. Here the people need business man to handle the state affairs.
 Judge Otis J. Raughn made plef for a strictly non partisan supreme court and explained how this was onl; possible by the election of some candi- date other than a democrat as ther' are, at present three democratic mem,

Campbell at Tucson

TUCSON. Sept. 3O-The republican state candidates headed by Tom Camp bell. addressed an enthusiastic audi ence which filled the Armory tonight. John B. Wright presided. interspersing strong arguments in a witty vein as each speaker was presented by him.
 The strenuous campaigning of the past week and open air speaking showed tonight in CampbelPs weak ened voice. As the big fellow warmed, the hoarseness disappeared and he made one of the strongest arguments of the campaign. Speaking on the indus trial situation in the state, Campbell said he introduced the first eight-hour day bill for labor ever presented to an Arizona legislature. That was in 1901 when Hunt was a member of the legis- lature and showed no particular in terest in labor then. Campbell told of his friendship with labor leaders who called him by his first name and who understood him and whom he under stood He paid a high compliment to them.
 In his message to the laboring men he said he addressed his words to the workers. not the workers who worked the workers He reiterated his slogan on fairness and firmness with both capital and labor and pointed to the tax rolls as evidence of his fairness and firmness with capital and to his long years as an employer of labor in Yava- pai county and his fairness and firm ness with labor
 "I will give no special privilege to any special class, and that is my spe- cialty." he said.
 George H. Smalley, was the first speaker. this being his home town. He was given an ovation by his towns people Smalley spoke on taxation and a budget law for the state He told oi Kibbey's success in taxing mines.
 Doane Merrill spoke of the absen candidates for state office and of his own experience which so we'll qualified him for state auditor.
 Cloonan joined the party here ant spoke of the work of the corporation commission and his experience in sucf work
 II. E. Matthews made a fine impress sion here with an able discourse or school conditions and his program fol placing state schools in better ef ficiency and economic condition.
 Campbell was prevented from speak ing for several minutes by the ovation People crowded about him as he fin ished and an informal reception wa held.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Sept. 30.-Charles F. Hughes, in speeches at Jamestown late today and here tonight, assailed the administration for it's attitude toward the development of American business abroad. MT. Hughes cited the failure of American bankers to obtain government support to their plan to participate in the proposed six power loan to China and the ad- minstration's Mexican policy. in sup port of his attack.
 Tt is said by the administration that they desire to open the door for American enterprise" MT. Hughes said. What is the inducement for our merchants and business men to go to foreign countries and engage in American enterprise. if they and their investments are treated as our citizens and their property were per mitted to be treated in Mexico?"
 Proposed participation by Ameri- can bankers in the loan to China was characterized by MT Hughes as "a matter of great moment to the nation. because it permitted an opportunity not only to aid China, but to facilitate our trade"
 We lost an important opportunity

 Mir. Hughes assertions were inter preted by persons in his audience, as being in the nature of a reply to President Wilson's recent declaration at Shadow Lawn and before a grain dealers convention at Baltimore out lining the administrations views to- ward the future development of American trade abroad
 MT. Hughes renewed his attack on the administration for broken pledges.
 They told us, he said. that they were going to maintain the constitu- tional rights of American citizens throughout the world. That they have failed to do, to our great regret.
 Our opponents have a great deal to say now, as they have said in times past with regard to the fla cilities of American enterprise and principles of American trade. These are matters of the highest import ance to all our people and we inquire in order t0 test the professions and promises that are given with respect to the record that has been made in Sthe past"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-1ncreas- plete resumption of submarine war fare, Chancellor von Bethmann Holl- weg's declaration before the reichstag that any statesman failing to use Ger manys every weapon to shorten the war deserves to be hanged and the recently apparently inspired simul- taneous publication in German papers of attacks on German neutrality, brought forth today an authoritative. though informal statement from the department of state of the American governments attitude toward the situ- ation.
 Any action which endangers Ameri- can lives through the sinking of ships without warning or by failing 10 pro vide proper safeguards, it was en- phatically asserted, will immediately reopen the submarine question with all it's possibilities. But so far, in spite of what is going on in Germany, there has been absolutely no indication in the official advices that Germany has vio- lated the agreement arrived at in the Sussex case. Reports of the sinking of nearly 300 merchant ships since June 1 have been received officially, but in no case has it been proven that American lives were endangered. High officials think it unnecessary to make any for maj statement on the subject, as they feel the American position is fully known both at home and abroad.
 However. the possibilities which a change of Germany's policy might open are so great that every effort will be made to have a full understanding on all sides. All dispatches received here by diplomats friendly to the Teutonic allies are described as clearly indicat ing that Germany intends fully to live up to her assurances. It. is acknowl-

 Still discussing the foreign affairs of the country, President Wilson stated that on account If the political uses made of foreign relations Tt is going to be practically impossible for the present administration to handle any critical matter concerning our foreign relations, because all foreign statesmen are waiting to see which way the election goes and in the meantime they know that settlements would be conclusive"
 Most of the presidents address was devoted to criticisms of the republi- can party and to outlining his own plans. A bid was made by the pres ident for the votes of progressives.
 He praised the progressive party IS having 'thc real red blood of human sympathy in it's veins" and declared the democratic party had done the things the progressives wanted done Briefly the president referred to the hyphenate issue He said:

Special to The Republican,

FLAGSTAFF, Sept. 30.-Senator Theodore Burton opened the republi can national campaign here tonight. He was greeted by a crowded house at the Orpheum theater and for an hour and a half he gave them fact after fact in a convincing, forceful way that carried conviction
 In speaking of the democratic war cry that Wilson had kept the United States out of war, Senator Burton said:
 "The European war could not have lasted six months without supplies and ammunition from the United States; there was not a country involved that would or could have declared war against the United States. On the other hand, American soldiers were killed in taking Vera Cruz when bat tleships were sent there to make Huerta salute the flag, a salute that was never given and Huerta died on American soil President Wilson says he kept us out of war, and there are over 5O.O00 American soldiers doing duty along the border of Mexico and a few thousand across the border on for eign soil. equipped, looking for Bandit Villa. who was at one time the prime favorite of the administration. Car ranza was eventually recognized but up to the present time he has never rec ognized the United States.
 Free trade made two men for one job. while protection has always made two jobs for one man; the war in Eu- rope only saved the democrats from one Of the worst panics of the age. The first year Of the administration brought depression which was only warded off by the sudden outbreak of war"
 The close attention of the large audi ence throughout his splendid address was evidence that the people were deeply impressed with the message he gave them.
 Henry l.. Eads. candidate for con- gress, made a short talk. Miss Helen Todd. the noted woman suffragist, who had addressed the women of Flagstaff during the afternoon, was granted an opportunity after Senator Burton's speech to make an appeal to the women for assistance in electing men who were favorable to the cause. She was a most interesting and pleasing tall<er and captivated the people with her earnest ness.

THOS.F. NEED|N GOES SUDDENLY
 ID THE BEYOND

Thomas F. Weedin. registrar Of the United States Land Office, and one of the best known of the old school citi- zens of Arizona died last night at twelve o'clock, at his home, 322 Culver street, after an illness of a few weeks.
 Mir Weedin underwent a minor oper- ation last week. and it Is thought that this added to his advanced age was the cause of his death. The body has been taken to the undertaking parlors of Moore and Mcclellan. Funeral arrange ments have not as yet been made
 His daughter Jennie F. Weedn was with him at the end.
 Practically all of the vital and impor- tant interests which go 10 make up the sum of human existence have at some time claimed the attention of Thomas r. Weedin, editor, businessman. states man and public spirited citizen.
 His activities have been as varied as they have been important and in their effects as beneficial as they have been far reaching, placing him among the racial political and business leaders of Phoenix. MT Weedin was born in Cooper county Missouri, December 15. 1854. and since he was nine years of age has been identified with journalism. At that time he went to Kansas City and became connected as d newsboy with the Kansas City Times, rising through all the different departments of the business, thoroughly learning newspaper work in principal and detail During this time he attended night school, but when he went to St. Louis, he laid aside his text books, and gave his attention entirely to journalism un- til 1873 when he went to Tennessee and established his first journal in Browns vile, calling it the Brownsville Demo- crat.
 In 1875 he was editor of the Daily Herald at Fremont Nebraska, and in the following year became city editor of | the Omaha Herald. After two years in that responsible position he was made editor of the Daily Prospect at Silver 1 Cliff, Colorado, and abandoned that po- 1 sition to take up prospecting and min 1 ing there.
 His interests along that line brought | him from Silver City to Tombstone 1 Arizona in 1SS0 but on the following year he again resumed newspaper work establishing the Enterprise at Florence
 on March 2Sth of that year. That paper l he conducted until President Cleve- Hands first administration, when he was appointed clerk of the United States
 court in his district, serving ably ana 1 efficiently until 1900. He then estab- I lished the Blade in Florence, and pur- Continued on Page Two)

edged that there is considerable opposi- tlon in Germany to this policy. But so far as is known here the opposition to the governments policy is no stronger than before.
 The chancellor's latest speech is not interpreted in American official quar- ters as foreshadowing his conversion to ruthless submarine activity, for it is pointed out that he may we'll hold that Germany is now gaining all that can possibly be gained from her submarine weapon.
 Others however, are inclined to take the opposite view, believing that the chancellor has been won over to the von Tirpitz party. They argue that with the gradual crushing in of the German lines and the increased realization that England is the super-enemy, pressure in Germany will become irresistible to strike in every possible way.
