These Ameri- cans do not seem the least perturbed by the high ocean rates. They are, however, driving better bargains than in the old days. It is no longer the custom to palm off sham antiques for reel. It is said that people of moder- ate means are perfectly content to have things look Ike the most valuable article at a cOrrcspondingly cheap fig ure. We are getting Americans now," one dealer is quoted as saying, but there is not so much to be made out of them. They know what they want, and what is more they know the price they want to pay.''

TOM CAMPBELL'S OPPONENTS
 ATE AT "SCAB" HASHERY

Especial to the Yuma Daily Examiner)
 BISBEE, Ariz., Nov 2.-Early in the campaign, much was made by his op- ponents over the fact that Tom Camp bell ate plate of hot cakes and drank cup of coffee in a picketed Bisbee restaurant run by Bill Traux, a friend of twenty years standing.
 It now develops that not only Cover nor Hunt, MT. Campbell's opponent, but also Henry Ashurst and Carl Hay den, while in Bisbee took most of their meals at the Copper Queen Dining room, which was declared unfair by the Warren District Trades Council, along with Bill Traux.
 The Copper Queen Hotel does not employ union walters, is still on the unfair list, the fact is we'll known in Bisbee and was known to Hunt, Hay den and Ashurst, but they evidently thought no mention would be made. of it because the Copper Queen Dining room was not picketed.
 Hunt avoids picketed restaurants for political reasons and not out of sympathy for the unions and has no hesitancy in eating in unfair places as long as there is no danger of get ting caught.

Make It Unanimous For Tom Campbell

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner)
 PHOENIX, Nov. 2.-So great is the overwhelming sentiment in favor of Tom Campbell, Republican candidate for governor, that preparations have been made to form Make It Unani- nous" Clubs to further his election during the remaining days of the cam paign.
 And, according to Republican lead CTS, it looks like Campbell Unani- mous."
 Reports from all parts of Arizona have been so favorable toward the chances of Tom Campbell that local voters of all political faiths have de- cided to form several Make It Unani- nous" Clubs The idea met with in- s+ant favor and scores of voters are daily telephoning to Republican head quarters asking to have their names included in the new organization.
 It is expected that several similar clubs will be formed in many other towns in the state as a result of the great number of voters who are rally ing to the head of the Republican ticket So great has been the rush thus far that it appears as though par tisanship has been placed in the dis card.
 The statements issued by Thomas Maddock, chairman of the Republican state central committee and Allan B. Jaynes, national Republican commit teeman, that both Campbell and Kib- bey would carry the state have not met with the approval of the Demo cratic publicity bureau but the organ izing of Make It Unanimous" Clubs and the rapidly swelling membership in this organize tion seems to streng- then the contention of Republican leaders.
 From now until November the plea will be Make it Unanimous.

FIRST BOAT AT
PIKEVlLLE IN YEARS.

The steamer Tor rather gasoliner)
Onico five days out Of CLtiettsburg, ar
rived here last Friday, with Capt. g.
l., LaISin and engineer William Price
and two other members of the crew, all
of CatleGsburg. The Onico is the first
machine propelled craft that has reach
ed as far up the river as Pikeville per-
haps in ten years, because with the adj
vent of the railroad the steamboat per-
haps came to close. But there is no
doubt that the Sandy river could yet
be useful. and the nation needs the de-
velopment of these resources more than
she needs preparedness against foreign
invasion. Freight, and even coal, could
be transported by water much cheap
er than by rail. The locking of the
Sandy river has already been finished
part of the way, and there is no good
reason why the remainder of the inn
should not be put in.
The Onicp is very small boat tow
ing a very big barge, and she is trading
IN scrap iron. She is a stern wheeler,
and her captain says she often lows
.wo large barges on, the Ohio. But how
so small craft can manage so un-
wieldy mass OF freight rs one Of the
mysteries OF navigation.
