 VISITS FLAGSTAFF

terlal with which to bolster up the road, so they could extricate the ma chine. Nearly half mile away, they secured stones and parts of old ties of the abandoned Mineral Belt railroad once projected from Flagstaff to Payson in Gila county. They made several trips, each time returning I weighted with stones and ties. With this material the road under and back of the wheels was corduroyed. A few false starts and then the auto pulled out. Once started, young Campbell, who. was at the wheel, kept it going until well out of trouble, leaving his tall and stately father nearly quarter of mile behind to blow through mud almost knee deep. Two hours were spent extricating the machine.
 Without further mishap, the gov- ernor and family arrived in Flagstaff with their invalid charge about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon.
 "At Stoneman's Lake," remarked MT. Campbell, discussing his trip, Eve were the guests of MT. and Mrs. Lyman s. Drum, who have resided there forty-two years. We enjoyed their comfortable home and splendid hospitality, and especially did we en- joy the cooking of Mrs. Drum. Crappie fishing at the lake is won derful; and Mrs. Campbell, my son and myself all made good catches. There are also some catfish there, but they were not biting we'll.
 "At Camp Verde, where we stopped I at Mrc pirEa1lfe hA&ol T prised to find what a large line of motor supplies and accessories she carried and how reasonable her prices were.
 Bill Back, who found Montezuma We'll, and his family, were our hosts at that point; and we were the guests of Robert Finnie and family at their ranch on Upper Beaver Creek, where we went bathing in Soda Springs. A new bath house is quite an addition to the place. Finnie has remark able fruit crop, which he markets in Jerome and Prescott by auto truck. His son, Dave, drives the truck and makes daily trips, going on alternate days to each point.
 There is one piece of advice I would like to give people who tour in ma chimes. They should carry their own flour, flour substitutes and sugar. These things are difficult to obtain at stores, ranches and farm houses. While people are most generous in supplying you to the best of their abil- ity, they are frequently unable to do so; and when they can and do, it works hardship on them, as these articles have to come out of their own most meagre supply.
 "The roads from Jerome to Camp Verde we found very good. Although better than l have ever seen them from Camp Verde to Stoneman's Lake, they need more work to make them as good as they should be for so important playground for the people. The roads from the lake in were fairly good, with few rough spots which the expenditure of. lit tie money will remedy. Although longer than other drives from the south, the most beautiful trip of them all is what has been appropriately called the Lake route, which passes for miles on the beaches of Mormon Lake and Lake Mary. For camping, the country is ideal, with abundance of water and timber and unsurpassed fishing"
 "When asked about the political sit uation, MT. Campbell replied:
 q am not doing any political work just now, leaving that for later. This is vacation and pleasure trip with my family. However, so far as can see, the political situation in Yava- pal and Coconino counties is most sat- isfactory. The people are thoroughly aroused to the necessity of an admin istration that is 100 per cent loyal, and one that is in sympathy with a thorough industrial peace. People who have sons, brothers, husbands fight ing the battles abroad of this country want every possible assistance, with out any hindrance or interference for those men from state and all other governments.
 Personally, expect to be called to Chicago the latter part of July as a government witness against the l. w. w. on trial there. Later, l expect to go into very active campaign. For the present I am leaving all po- litical work to the Democrats, who have no lack of candidates for the gu- bernatorial chair. In the sections through which I passed all of them appear to have friends and followers. It is too early to prophecy yet which candidate is the strongest. To quote, from the best of my memory, the lines of Sir Lucius O'Trigger in Sheridan's delightful old comedy, The Rivals Sure, it is pretty fight as it stands It belongs to the Democrats, and let them keep it. I don't want to take it from them"
 (Which candidate would you prefer for an opponent ?"
 q would like to see Governor Hunt the candidate. Then the people would again be given an opportunity to choose between us. I believe their choice would be so emphatic that there would be no need for another con test"
