CAMPBELL WINS
B|SBEE MINERS

BISBEE, Ariz. oct. 5.-Packed to
! It's doors and crowds standing in the
streets unable to gain entrance, Tom
Campbell stood before an audience in
Blsbee tonight which jeered and joked
with pointed questions, Kissed and fin
ally surrendered as it was met at every
ment OF the big fellow from the pines.
Never before in the political campaigns
in Arizona have labor union men heard
the truth as Tom Campbell gave it to
them tonight. No aspirant for office
IN this state has ever dared to talk to
them as he did, bringing first their
laughs OF derision, then their Kisses
and finally silence and attention and
complete surrender to the big man with
big message of unmistaken sincerity.
1t was the finest tribute to the ability
of Tom Campbell as a public speaker,
to his understanding of men, to his
good nature and his big heart that was

No less was the meeting of Industrial
issues given to them in direct straight
forward words and without mincing
facts, genuine tribute to the labor
union men of Bisbee, for it showed that
they realized that new sort of man
was standing before them, one honest
in his convictions, fearless to express
them, generous and genuine, and the
kind of a friend they would go far to
point, and when he had finished, a
hundred or more left the hall quietly
and waited to greet him on the outside,
where the street was packed with those
unable to gain entrance.
The Campbell party came here from
Tombstone, where great republican
rally was held Wednesday evening The
rally followed enthusiastic meetings at
Dragood, Johnson and Benson, where
the party stopped first after leaving
Nogales Tuesday morning. The recep-
ton to the Campbell party at the plaza
surpassed anything ever seen in No
gales, hundreds of voters who had
been undecided as to whom to vote for
stating after the meeting that they
were going to vote for Tom Campbell
for governor.
Mr.. Campbell took the present Hunt
machine to task for extravaganza ana
misrule, and stated that Hunt had
only two policies Gf they could be
called policies) and they were prison
reform and the arraying of class
against class. Outside of that" said
Mr.. Campbell, "he has no policies He
stated that the economic conditions of
the state were in deplorable condition,
that the cost of running the state since
1911, showed an increase of 800 per
cent; and that the valuations of prop
the same time, while the decrease in
taxation was only 40 per cent, show
ing that something somewhere was
radically wrong and needed correction.
He said that it was his ambition to
see these condtoions remedied. He
pointed out that under the present way
Of handling the states business, there
are too many commissions, and too
many boards, all carried at the ex-
pense Of the state. If elected he said
that he would do away with so many
of them, thereby saving to the taxpay
ers of the state a considerable amount
Of money. In referring to the gov
ernor's labor policy he said it was
doing untold harm to Arizona. He
pointed out that no railroads are
building, no new money is being
brought into the state to open up the
wonderful mining resources, simply be-
cause of the want of confidence in the
present state administration. He said
