Political Gossip
Special to The Reviewl


 can state committee, issued a state ment giving a resume of the situation in each county of the state as he found it on personal visit which he made within the past three weeks and telegraphic reports from leaders re- ceived today.
 In the opinion of Judge Sames, Tom Campbell will win a sweeping victory in the race for governor over Fred T. Golfer. He sid:
 T find that the voters all over the state are pretty well convinced that Senator Golfer is Governor Hunts candidate and that the same regime will continue if he could be elected This was positively proven by the Dear Mike letter and other evidence introduced at the Breen libel trial.
 The fact also that Governor Hunt has been more or less consorting with members of the l. w. w. was also clearly established at this trial. We do not expect a single 'wobbly' 10 vote for Tom Campbell.
 Tt is also pretty well understood over Arizona, that Senator Golfer is ineligible for the office which he seeks. and that those who vote for him are either voting for a lawsuit, or throwing their vote away.
 Tine people of Arizona like fair play and great majority of them are ! firmly convinced that Tom Campbell was simply counted out of an office fto which he was elected in 1916 by the voters of the state.
 While we realize that Arizona is democratic by a few thousand votes, our poll indicates that thousands of democrats are going to place the wei fare of the state above partisanship this year and register a protest against the continuance of the Hunt machine in power"
 Here is the report of conditions in every county of the state as received at republican state headquarters.
 Apache County.
 St. Johns-Fred Golfer has spent little time in his home county. while the republicans are well organized and confidently believe they will carry the county by majority of at least 100. Hunt carried it by 95 in 1916 CTS, and a big cattleman and is not NCiy pOpuldI lue Tdlih anu Ille.
 Coconino County.
 Flagstaff-The prevalence of the epidemic has greatly unset political conditions in this county and it is difficult to say how the county will go on election day. The vote will be light on that account, but friends of Tom Campbell are confident that he will receive a majority of 25O. Camp bell carried the county in 1916 by less than 100 votes.
 Coehise county.
 Douglas-Campbell's prospects of carrying Cochise county are growing brighter every day There will be a big vote out owing to the fight for county seat Rmoval. There is great interest in the sheriff's fight Lo Wright of Douglas, republican nomi- nee, is putting up a hard fight against Jeff Mcdonald Of Bisbee. Tom Camp bell will do better in Douglas than :n 1916. He will carry Bisbee, Wilcox and Tombstone. Golfers stronghold is at Lowell. Leaders here say that Campbell will carry Cochise by 25e He lost it by a little over 800 votes in 1916

The Campbell | forces are we'll organized. and many 1 prominent democrats are openly sup | porting him. believing that he was 1 counted out in 1916.
