Never be- fore in the political campaigns in Ari- zona 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 de- rision, then their misses and finally a silent attention and complete surren- der to the big man with big message of unmistaken sincerity. It was the finest tribute 10 the ability of Tom Campbell as a public speaker, to his understanding of men, to his good nature and his big heart that was ever witnessed in the State No less was the question of industrial issues given to them in direct straightforward words and without mincing facts, genuine tribute to the labor union men of Bisbee, for it showed that they realized that a new sort of man was standing before them, one honest in his views, fearless to express them. generous and genuine, and the kind of friend they would go far to have. He showed them new viewpoint and when he had finished hundred or more left the hall quietly and waited to greet him on the outside where the street was packed with those unable 10 gain entrance.
 He talked straight from the shoul- der,' they told the crowd outside. We never thought he would do it. He gave it to us straight He told the truth of the Truax incident and he did not attempt to conceal anything. We have got to hand it to him, for Tom IS sure game and honest"
 The disturbers began with H. L. Eads, candidate for congress, who paid no attention to them but hit the subject of national issues with great CT punch. George H. Smalley follow ed with discussion of State econo- mics and the crowd gave him close attention. Doane Merrill told of the qualities of the absent candidates and of himself, and H. E. Matthews dis cussed school matters and they gave both serious attention. J. Harry Cloonan, candidate for corporation commissioner, brought applause when he produced handful of union labor cards and held them before the big audience as evidence of his attitude towards labor.
 F. J. Flannigan presided at the meeting and county candidates sat upon the platform. A brass band opened the rally and when Tom Campbell was introduced it hit up a lively air as the great crowd cheered.
 The first outburst which showed that the audience had been packed with Hunt men came when Tom Campbell, talking upon State issues, the governors name. A round of applause followed and when t subsided Campbell calmly held his hand out over the audience and said: T am glad to have you pay that trib- lte to your governor. You would be 1ngrateful if you did not. You, like myself, like men who help their friends, but the worst of the situation lere IS that the governor helped his friends, not at his own expense, but t the expense of others" This sally brought quick response and the big rowd approved with rounds of ap- 'lause. Let's give Tom one," shout d miner, and standing up and way ng his arms he led the ovation.
 The rally was the largest and, be- ause of the disturbers, the most sue essful ever held here. Labor knows rom his own lips now that Tom ,ampbelFs slogan of fairness to both ibor and capital and firmness with oth,' IS sincere.
