 It matters little to Hunt whether he runs Golfer or whether Winsor runs Osborn, for Winsor gets his orders from Hunt The governor and his faithful ally from Yuma county think they are playing sure thing game, and they probably are certain of vic tory. They have both radical and a middle the-road candidate, and whichever one is victorious, the gang wins.
 Republicans in nearly every county arc giving considerable care to the selection of legislative candidates, while the Democrats are ignoring their responsibility in this regard. There is d Hunt legislative ticket in nearly every county of the state, and Hunt and Winsor are making sure that they will control the next senate and house. They take no chances, and see that trusted and tried men are nominated. The hottest battle is in Coconino county, where they are trying to defeat Hugh Campbell for rc-nomination.
 Tom Campbell, Republican candi- date for governor, has been making rapid progress lately in his tour of the state. He visited Yuma county last week, taking in Yuma, Gadsden and Sonerton. He went from Yuma to Tucson, spending the day there and addressing Republicans in the evening. From Tucson he want to Pinal county, visiting Oracle, Nam moth. Hayden, Winkleman, Ray and Superior. Last Saturday he attend ed the anual picnic at Red Lake in Coconino county and after spending a few days in the north, returned to the south to visit Gila, Graham and Grcenlee counties and the boys at Camp Cody. It was at the Red Lake picnic two years ago that Gov. Camp bell opened his campaign, on which occasion he was thrown from buck ing broncho, experienced horsemen though he is In his talks with Re- publicans over the state, Gov. Camp bell has emphasized the necessity of putting strong county tickets in the field, but has discouraged the nom- mating oi poor men just to get the of office, on the ground that Republicans are not interested in drawing salaries, but in rendering service. He has pointed out that the Republican party has ever been. the friend of liberty, the best illustration being the anarchists, socialists and woblies never support Republicans. In this connection he said: "The most cheering news to me since our boys began their big drive conducted by our government against the Huns on the western front is the success of the great drive conducted by our gov- ernment against the Huns in America at the Chicago trials of the I. w. W."
