Arizona sentinel., 1917-11-08


 to the Yuma County Fair last night in the spacious Southern Pacific dining room, notably Governor Tom Camp [ bell, Arizona's grand man, and Gov ernor General Esteban Cantu of Baja l California, Mexico, and their official staffs were the guests of honor.
 Mayor Geo. Michelsen ably acted as postmaster first introducing Rev. N. i F. Hoffpauir, as the first speaker, who i said Yuma is the place where real things are grown, particularly big men who do things, and Yuma at ! tracts big men from the little sub urbs like San Diego, Phoenix and Prescott; and "that is why our big governor comes so often.' l The Yuma pastor made many hap py remarks, concluding with the fol, lowing:
 Yuma, Governor CampbeII-Cantu? What a splendid spirit; what great delight
 Should crown our festive board to- night!
 For Yuma is happy, and gaiiy at tired,
 The festive spirit has all hearts in
 spired.
 But why all this gladness? Why all
 this ado?
 Gan anyone tell us the reason why? I'm sure you'd like to know-so
 would I,
 Yuma and Governor Campbell
 Cantu
 Here, from north and from south, two
 princes meet
 Rulers of empires, hard to beat. So here's to California, down by the
 Sea-"
 And Governor Cantu-fine fellow is
 he!
 And here's to Arizona, Governor
 Campbell, too!
 And now you can guess the reason
 why,
 That Yuma is happy, as well as l; Now Yuma, and Governor Campbell
 -Cantu.
 Postmaster Michelsen introduced Governor Tom Campbell as "good governor" Republican amongst lot of Democrats, but he said Campbell -Cantu The governor spoke at length and said when the dreams of men come true all other towns near by will be suburbs of Yuma, and any way Yuma has all the earmarks of a great metropolis, and has only start ed. The governor longed for the life of cotton picker in the great Yuma cotton fields, and perhaps some day when his job as governor ended, his dream might come true. The gover- nor strongly emphasized the point that Governor Cantu and his people with us are all Americans and must even- tually fight for world democracy.
 Governor Cantu followed in Spanish which was interpreted by his secre- tary, and was roundly applauded. He said:
 Ladies, Hon. Governor, Hon. Mayor of Yuma, Gentlemen:-It seems only natural that I should feel abashed when 1 am confronted with the duty of giving expression, before this re- fined and brilliant asstmblage, to the of your Mexican guests and friends by the marks of deference and esteem we have been continuously receiving from all of you. The words of MT -Hoffpauir, the distinguished governor of Arizona; those of the worthy mayor of Yuma: will leave an indelible Hn pression in my mind. I shall always remember them with gratitude, and l can assure you that 1 shall often look back with a thrill of pleasure upon the happy events of this splendid fair. Allow me to refer in very partic ular manner to the cheerful and effl- cient intervention of my excellent friend, Col B. r. Fly, who has been instrumental in bringing about our ex- tremely pleasant visit to your pro- | gressive town It would have been i'm possible to resist Colonel Fly. He seemed to set such a great store by | our presence here; he pleaded with | such a forcible eloquence, that we | must needs submit To say that we | rejoice in having done so, would be | but poor rendering of the truth. I am positive that you all, ladies and gentlemen, believe, the same as MT. Fly decidedly does, and the same as do, that there is nothing better for
