LIES EXPOSED
lFrom Thursdays Dai1vl

Nn impression prevails in soma parts of lavapai county among hclders oi small tracts oi state leasel lands that If Campbell succeeds il taking the land away from the big fellows, he win be able to take il away from us"
 This impression was started and has been iostered by Campbcll% pc lit.cal opponents, and it appeals only to the ignorant.
 In quarters where the land issue is understood, it is known that the pro- posal of the governor is to oust the present land board and discontinue the system of dummy leases and that Of releasing land before the leases expire, in large blocks to wealthy holders. There has been no intima- ton that the small holdings would be touched
 The object of the entire campaign of the governor is to enable the s,ale to secure a proper return on tie land it is leasing to great cattle and sheep interests and thus make mp some of the cost of education from the source the federal govern mcnt intended that money should come from. Cancellation or leases is to be sought only in places where tLc leases are dummies or have been granted without due consideration of the value of the land. No small owner is taken to be powerful enough to force through a deal whereby the state is injured.
 However, the story is being in dustriously circulated in order to harm the governor with the very is sue he seeks to carry through for the benefit of the smaller land own CTS, many of whom have been held off from land they needed because a more powerful outfit was able to consolidate leases and shut them out
 The story is on par with that which this paper headed off two weeks or more ago in which it was planned to flood the county at tie last minute with stories thae Cover nor Campbell was tied up win a big copper company.
 
 That women will make 1t more . their business this fall to size up their men and measures and cast ni- teIligent votes than ever before is the opinion Of Mrs. Richard Lamson, head of the Republican Womcn's Lc2eue of Prescott, who has been active in instruction wcr5 lately.
 Ms. Lamson has ,vo-.e hard 70 secure cooperation among the women voters. not alone that they may vote the republican ticket. but that women in general may secure needed in struction in the machinery of ballot ing. With the experience they have secured from practice, women of Ari- zona are able to show millions of women in the east the proper way to take part in elections.
 This will be a lively week in Pres colt, with a republican and a demo- cratic rally both in the city.
 
 Colonel Ralph Cole, vho speaks in the El5s hail tonight, has been showing the people of Southern Ari- zo1a the inside of the League of Nations deal. He is well informed on the subject and his revelations have been as startling as those of Elihu Root at New York day before yesterday.
 Democratic newspapers which be- gan publishing the returns of the Rexall straw vote have mysterious1y discontinued the practice The stand ing of the Cox and Harding candi- dacies as revealed by the returns has discouraged their publication by sup portcrs of the Ohio governor.
 An urgent plea not to close the eyes and shoot blind1y at the ballot this year is being voiced by rePub- licou campaigncrs both ir the county and state On the other hand. dem ocratic spelIbindcrs have been ak ing and ranting at the public to vote inc democratic ticket straight, Tit'I no regard to the fitness of the cie- didates. The chances for a surpris- ing turn of the electors to liberalism in matters partisan, is expected this year.
