GOVERNOR HOLDS HUGE
 RECEPTION AT ADAMS

Governor Thomas E. Campbell came into his own last night. The governor had expected to spend q quiet even ing with his family and with that end in view quietly hid himself ir the Co mmbia theater early iu the evening. When his ardent supporters found out that at last, in reality, the stalwart son frC m the nortE had been seated in th- chair of the chief executive, there was no holding them 1own.
 The Indian school band was hastily ordered to come down town, bring ev- erything it had in the line of musical instruments and make preparations to play as they had never played be- fore.
 Shortly after the arrival of the banl at the Hotel Adams, a self-appointed though none tEe less enthr siastic com mittee made it's way to tfe Columbia, and without as much as d by your leave. ordered the governor to come hence, and make his way immediately tu the Adams.
 
 smile that has nos faded in spite of the trials and turmoils following the eiec- tiOn the governor strode into the lobby of the Adams, with the band play ing, and he huge crowd shouting itselc hoarse. It was indeed q moment of tri- umph, and the governor looked everr inch 9 conqueror
 He ascended to the mezzanine floor, and after q few minutes succeeded in Quieting the shouting crowd He made a brief talk, telling those present that if they would stick with him as they had in the past. and as he had stood by them, all would go well n the future. He repeated his pledge 10 work for the people of the state. and with a few well chosen .'emarks, concluded His con- clusion was the signal for another wild Ou.burst of cheering.
 Following the speech, practically ev- eryone in the down town section, and most everyone in Phoenix was down town last night, ascended the stairs to shake the governors hand. He had a smile and a good word for everyone The rich. the poor, the halt and the blind were grasped firmly by the hand. and told that they were welcome to call upon the states chief executive at any and all times.
 The crowd around the governor be- came so thick, that it was necessary to ! have hotel attendants, marshal his ad- mirers into some sort of a line, and have them approach the chief exec | utive one at time. The line reached well down stairs, people constantly 1 descending while another stream equally as large and equally as excited made it's way upward.
 Mrs. Campbell was present and held little reception all her own near that of the governors.
