CAMPBELL WILL WIN
 BY 5000 MAJORITY

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct.. 81.-That Tom Campbell will be elected gover- nor of Arizona by majority of D. 900 is the prediction of Judge Albert M. Sames, Republican state chairman, who has just returned from tour which took him into every county in Arizona. Judge Sames found that in every county the old Hunt and anti Hunt lines have been closely drawn and that it is generally understood that Fred Colter is the Hunt candi- date. Judge Sames believes that r. 500 Democrats in Arizona will vote for Tom Campbell this year because they believe he was counted out when justly elected and because of their de- sire to smash the Hunt machine.
 Judge Sames, who lives at Douglas, predicts that Tom Campbell will car ry Cochise county and that he will get "a larger majority in Maricopa county than he received when that county went over the top with 3494. He also believes that Colter will lose his home county of Apache.
 Here is the way Judge Sames has figured 1t out from personal observa- tion in each county, the figures given representing the majority each candi- date will receive in the respective countins.

TURNING THE CLOCK BACK
 ON POOR JUDGE ''DIAL"

ion in the Hunt Campbell case,
 was not lying, disreputable and
 altogether gross misrepresenta-.
 tion, why would they oppos, The
 Leader publishing the advertise
 ment, which no doubt cost the
 copper barons anywhere from $50
 to $75 for each insertion in the
 hired press?
 We are merely quoting this to show what can be done in the way of tell ing part of story only.
 The young lady did call for the cut and since. it weighs between twenty five and thirty pounds, concluded to send it to the Leader later in the day. When the foreman came in from lupch he was asked to send the cut down. He immediately recalled the fact that the cut had been ordered sent to the Winslow Mail as soon as it waD used here. This occurred be- fore Mir. Dial knew anything about the cut or that we had it. We imme- diately telephoned this fact to the Leader office.
 In return for our intended kind ness, Editor Dial pulls this most re- markable letter; this especially pre- pared letter of which he certainly re- tained a copy to print, since judging by his methods, the cut would be re- fused him.
 Far from it, Judge. We would have been glad to turn it over to you and let you butcher it as you did our in- tended kindness.
 This action is so in accord with other Colter methods that we merely cite it as more evidence of what a party will do when they are in bad hole.
 If there had been any Flying" about the decision of the supreme court, this evidence would not have been printed broadcast over the state. It was court record and it makes our democratic friends squeal when they see it in cold type.
 Gov. Hunt wasn't lying as to his feelings toward Fred Colter when he wrote the now famous Dear Mike" letter, Saying: "I believe the man who really represents progressive democracy is Fred Colter." Osborn does not believe in experimenting and Sutter got him "all het up."
 The people, regardless of the gov ernor and his fads and fancies, will be mighty glad to quit experiment ing" for while. Lord knows they have had enough of it under the dem ocratic administration in Arizona and are willing to get back to a sane basis.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER I. 1918.
National Humiliation.


 Last Friday the President of the United States in an astounding and incredible statement, demanded of the voters of the naton the election of democratic congress
 The Republican from the date of the election of Pres ident Wilson, whom it had opposed has endeavored to treat him with absolute ustce and since the date this nation tered into the and he became the commandernchief of armies have gone the limit to give him loyal and thoroughgong support whenever could do with consistency and serespec Fortunately, there many papers this country which broader lines than petty partsanshp the of decent journalism which have given the presuent similar support
 As paper, friendly to many policies for which the president has stood we cannot chagr and hu initiation at seeing the president of this great nation and for whose mental attanments have high admira ton descend he has done into the slough of partisan pol
 cs in demanding that the people of this nation return to congress those of but political party without regard to their loyalty qualifications.
 Fortunately in this country there millions of inde pendent of character vision and enlightenment and believe the vast majority of these voters in the election November 5th will express by their votes their thor oughgong dsapproval of the presidents attempt at ercion.
 We fear that President Wilson has been misled by the paudits he has received the accidental commandern chief of army and navy, and that the time has rived for him to learn very thoroughly that this is the of the American people, and neither his that of the democratic party-Arizona Republican.

France, Sept. 16, 1918. "Mrs. E. s. Carlos,
 Flagstaff, Ariz.
 Dear Mother:
 q received your most welcome let ter and was on the firing line when the mail came to us. That's where a fellow enjoys reading letters from home. Now, you have of course, read all the news about the big September drive, so there is nothing I can tell you about the battle, only 1 was where some heavy barrage was sent over to Kaiser Bills boys, and, be- lieve me mother, we certainly work ed Every man in our battery was certainly Jagged, but when we saw some of the results of our work, ev- cry man wore broad smile.
 ''This is the second big drive that l have been in and there is no man living more anxious than am to clean up on. the enemy. l always try to do my share and little bit more when we are in battle, but mother, the front we were on this time, was pick in's for us; the kaiser never got a shell close to us. Guess he was get ting them so fast that he could not battle for lodging. You see do not stay on any certain front, but when there is fighting coming off, 1 get in on it and l am proud of that.
 'I see lot in the papers about Chatteary and the Marne, so am go- ing to tell you that your son, Ray boy, did his share there too. There is nothing that gives me more pleasure than to slip the shells over the hills to the Germans, and to know that am doing it for my country, for you and for the folks at home.
 Regardless of all hardships, we are doing fine. The sun is shining fine today, but for four days and nights it was very uncomfortable owing to rain and mud, but nothing can stop a Regular, or that is, nothing has stopped us yet and l think it will take more than the kaiser can ever pro duce to stop us boys.
 "Well, I must now tell you of our captain; he is simply prince. When we get in a place where it takes can noneers on the wheel, the old sport puts his shoulder on the wheel and helps us all he can. All the boys like him, but he is strict, though.
 "Well, if all the fronts are as easy pickin's as this one, we will soon have the enemy back in--in l don't know where, but they will have to jump off somewhere.
 "Well, mother, I'll have to stop now but will be able to tell you a great many interesting things that happened when I get home.

HUGHES WOULD SAVE
 WILSON HIS DIGNITY
Former Justice Urges National Unity
 As Republic Not As Autocracy.

| NEW YORK, Oct. 29-CalIing for national unity after the methods of republic and not an autocracy," and deploring President Wilson's assump- tion that only the return to Congress of Democratic majority would up- hold his national leadership, Charles D. Hughes declared in an address here tonight that bipartisan support alone would save the President from the lesser dignity and influence of mere party leadership"
 Speaking at Republican rally at the Union League Club, MT. Hughes declared that mo political party was paramount in patriotism" and that Republicans had a right to express their political preferences.
 "Must we Republicans, he declar- ed, "patriotically toll and give with out seeking a voice in the national assembly, yielding our representation to Democrats, not as more worthy or more loyal, not as more sacrificing or more intelligent, but to Democrats as such, simply because they are Dem- ocrats 2"
 After declaring the issue was tran scendent, Mir. Hughes emphasized the need for complete victory in the war, the crushing of arbitrary and tyran- nical military power and the dawn of of the new era of peace and justice.
 Did 1 not think that the Repub- lican party would, through it's repre- sentatives, aid in the efficient con duct of this war, and in the settle ment of righteous peace, I should leave the party. It is because I be- lieve the Republican party is an i'm portant and necessary agency in the winning of this war and in establish ing just peace, that, as Republi- can, but not in a narrow, partisan spirit, I join with you in the earnest support of the Republican candidates.
 "Let there be fair and open discus sion and free consultation, and then we can trust the future. With the country almost equally divided be- tween two parties, the freest express sion and choice of Representatives should be welcomed.
 "But it is saidItha the return of Republican majority will be misunder- stood abroad. We shall not be mis- understood, we shall support the President, not as the President of a party, not as the President of half of the nation, but as the President of the entire nation, as he acts according to the genius of our institutions, and we shall save him from the lesser dig nity and influence of mere party leadership"

U. S. Infantry, Co. A, 3rd division, in France. One of the happy incidents of his transfer was the meeting of Merville Mills of Flagstaff, member of old Co. I, who went out of Flagstaff over two years ago. It is said, but hot for publication, that when the two boys met, neither thought of the regulation salute, but pulled off a regular 70, how I love you Arizona" stunt. We hope that this stunt never gets to General Pershing, for he might be compelled to smile a big, broad knowing smile.

We reprint the following from Free Golfers Northern Arizona Pleader merely to show just what happened and how Judge Dial pulled it:
 Here in the town of Flagstaff the Coconino Sun is edited by a gentleman that we, aside from politics, esteem. He published an advertisement in Fridays pa- per. We wrote him as follows and sent it on that date:

 Coconino Sun,

 My Dear Mir. Breen:
 On page of the Coconino Sun for Oct. 25th you published two third page of an advertisement headed "How the counted Tom Campbell out" l take it that you deem the same to be a good Re- publican argument, and that the same shows that the Supreme court did err, and did purposely err in their decision in that case. May I be permitted to ask you for loan of the cut from which this ad was printed to be used for one day and returned to you? l desire the use of the cut to reproduce the same in The Leader, and I take it that you will not accuse me of boldness in ask ing the favor, for l suppose that you would not have given it so much space had you not deemed it good argument.
 I am frank to say to you, dear sir, that my purpose in publishing it will be to comment on the same and show the people that is it fallacious and misleading. deem it proper to say this to you before receiving the cut for pub lication.
 I am pleased to say, my dear sir, that I am sincerely and truly,
 Your friend,
 W. H. DIAL. The letter was sent by Miss Mae Cook and delivered into the hands of Mir. Breen. Mir. Breen stated to Miss Cook that the cut referred to in the letter would be to heavy for her to carry and that he would later send it up. Later he phoned to The Leader office stating that he had sent the cut to Winslow.

HOW ABOUT THE BIRDS?

It is a matter of much concern
with every hunter and sportsman of
Kentucky as to how the birds have
Jared during these cold days Il is
feared that many were killed, and if
so. it will be the effort of State Game
Warden J, Quincy Ward to import
quail and other birds that the supply
may be replenished The farmers
and others of Lincoln county are ask
ed to investigate the condition Of
the bird supply in their various sec
tions and report to either Mr.. r. +.
Coleman at The Penny Drug Store
or Local Game Warden Sam j. EN-
bry the result of their investigation.
This can be done with very little
trouble after the snow is gone. In the
mean time, take the trouble to feed
the birds on your farm, and thus do
a humane act as well as conserve the
"Bob Whites" and other species Of
birds that do not interfere with the
crops and are helpful rather than
hurtful to your lands.

STATEWIDE BILL PASSED

The Statewide prohibition bill,
fathered by Representative J. II.
Ballard, Of Garrard, was passed by
the House by the overwhelming vote
Of 40 to 9 on final roll call
This was a larger majority than
was even expected by the most san
guine drys. Those who voted against
the measure were Klair, of Licking
ton; Baldwin, Of Mason; Beckmann,
Of Louisville; Dill, Of Bellevue; John
son, Of Henderson; Knollman, Mey-
ers and Murphy, Of Covington; Nc
Donagh, of Louisville, and Thornton,
Of Newport.
The same strenuous effort that
was made in the Senate was made in
the House to amend the bill so as to
extend the time limit, but all Of
these efforts failed.
The bill, as passed, provides for
submission of a Statewide prohibi-
ton amendment to the voters at the
regular election in November, and if
the pepole approve the amendment
at the polls, it is to become effective
June 30, 1920. It will be seen there
fore that its provisions are practical
ly the same as those of the Senate
bill already passed.
When the bill was first put on its
passage it carried by a vote of n to
II, but it was found that in some
particulars it did not conform to the
Senate bill, and the wording was
changed accordingly, and the bill
passed second time by majority
of 70 to 0, Arch Hamilton, Of Fay
