There Is hardly less doubt that the Re- publicans win gain several senators and increase their membership in the house so that the Republ- cans will have such absolute of the govern nent they have enjoyed for sixteen years
 We will refrain from an expression of our be- lief that that will be good thing for the country at Our Democratic friends inform us that it will rot be- and they predict. the prediction amounting to admission of Republican victory that if the Re- publicans win they will make such a muddIe of hings that Harding win be the last Republican pres- lent we shall in a quarter of century. But we nay also let that pass
 But there things we may reasonably be- ieve Accepting the fact that we are going to have Republican administration and a strong Republi- can congress after next. it must appear that Arizona. which wants many things and Maricopa county which especially and most sorely needs protection for it's greatest industry. that of long staple cotton should put themselves into a position 70 appeal to the party power They can do that Arizona, by the reelection of Governor Campbell and Maricopa county. by rolling up for him such a splendid majority gave him four years ago and again. two years ago.

 Governor Campbell would be backed in any de- mand he might make for legislation by another force which would not be at the command of any other man whom might put the governors chair Republican Democrat-the League of Western states of which he of the organizers and of which he is present head While there is only one other western state than Arizona-california- that is concerned in the long staple cotton industry there is such profound understanding among the members of the league. the needs of one another that with Governor Campbell urging the protection of this industry. he hearty support of every state member of the league
 We do not think there is a grower of long staple cotton in this the Valley and in the regions about Casa Grande and Tucson. that underestimate by this time the need protection of the industry as the greatest. the most imperative of it's needs
