view of Mr. Cameron, but that as Ok lahoma had adoped a similar consti- tuition, Pres. Taft signed the bill.
 Following Senator Smith was w. L. Barnum, democratic national commit" teeman. MT. Barnum paid his re. spects to Gov Campbell, quoting from the record and from many speeches of the governor on the Ian measures of the state. He showed by the record that Governor Campbell had voted with Mitt Sims, the demo- cratic candidate for governor, 33 times in 1919, and 35 out of 37 times in 1920. He went into tic unwar. ranted expenditures of the state en- gineer and other departments imme- diately under the control of the gov ernor. The Hurley case, where thou sands of sacns of cement were stolen and nuni"eds of sacks of barley ta- ken without warrant. His whole speech was devoted to the Campbell gymnastics of "now you see Us, and now you don't" If Simms was gull ty of wrong doing in the land board, Campbell's action as chairman of the board was all the more reprehensi- ble. Campbell signed every lease and deed and this without single objec- tion until he had lost the support of tn cowmen, when he concluded that it was time to knock those fellows. He waited until more than 9,000,0OG acres of the public lands had been leased or sold and then concluded co call a halt. The speaker wanted to know why this halt was not called two or three years ago when Carnp- bell had the opportunity of bringing the land board into disrepute if it had been doing anything criminal. And how could Campbell besmirch the character of any other member of the board and clear himself of the filth :? He wanted to know why William Mouer, commissioner of the land board, could have been a wonderful fellow, honest, farseeing and the head ana 1rOnC or tne ldnO DOdrQ pOllcE last May and being everything that is bad at this time. He called atten- tion to a speech of Campbell before the cattlemen's association at Tuscon last May in which Mouer was eX- toled as the acme of virtue, especial ly in his official acts. Mouer is now under the ban of Gov. Campbell.
 The visitors arrived in kingmar Monday evening and spent the day in renewing old acquaintaces and left for the eastern part of the state or the night train Tuesday. They were well pleased with their reception here and expect to return later in the campaign.

CURIOSITY CALLS"

Last week when the fire signal was blown, a great many people wanting to know where the fire was, called the telephone office. So many put in calls that it was impossible to give service on the necessary calls. The management of the telephone conI- pany, in speaking of the matter, says:
 Any sudden emergency, such as a fire, an explosion, an accident, or other happening, brings down upon the telephone central office an ava1- anche of calls that are Curiosity calls" made for no other reason than that their originators desire to know all about the happenings.
 "Not only is central unable to sup ply such information, but the sudden deluge of telephone calls ties up the telephone lines and might seriously interfere with a call for fire appar- atus, ambulances or other aids.
 "Why not be patient few hours ? A full account of the happenings which are most generally carefully prepared by local writer on tke scene, may be read by all Tn your To- cal paper.

 and al. Sf Taft's four. He said fur ther that after the foreign relations committee of the House and Senate were called together and the draft was submitted to them for criticism. Lodge was present at the meeting of the Senate committee and offered no changes in the original draft, nor did he object to the participation ot the United States in the world pact. And because this League of Nations pact was brought back as the great work of President Wilson, it was vir- ulently attacked by Lodge, forsooth because Lodge was not the author of the work. It was a dastardly attack and the people of the whole country realize it and will show the world next November that Americans be- lieve in peace and comity between nations" Senator Smith also cov- cred the attacks that have been made upon him by the small caliber poll ticans of the other party and pointed with pride to the record he had made ;n the years he had been in Congress. His record covered many important irrigation projects, especially that of the Roosevelt dam, and also claimed authorship of statehood, especially single statehood, which was voted against by his opponent, when that gentleman was in the Congress. He pointed to the fact that demand was made by CaReron for the vetoing of the statehood measure because the people of the state had not adopted a constitution in consonance with the

TIRE TALKS
No. 7 SUCCESS

To be successful in any partic- uIar calling, be it business or profession, you must like the work you are doing and derive a certain amodnt of pleasure out of 1t; you must feel that it is your Ilfe's work and strive to do the thing you are doing today better than you did yesterday, other wise the bestyo uobtain is a con dition of mediocrity.
 Tires with us is an obsession; it is something we dream about something we never tire of dis cussing, something we always try to find ways of improving, some thing we like to cut into to dis sect. It is our meat and bread, and every day as we go along we add to our store of information. It is something we like to talk about among ourselves as we'll as with our customers, and no mat ter what we are discussing our conversation will unconsciously drift to tires.

Cooper Union Hears Sena.
tor Denounce Use of
Large Funds.
By Herald Leased wire.J


New York, March 29.-Declaiming
against the too lavish use of money
for the capture of the Presidential
Senator Hiram johnson,
of California, opening his Eastern
speaking tour at Cooper Union to-
night declared:
The vast contributions of money.
in some instances" he said, ARE be-
ing made exactly as investments
would be made by the contributors.
The ultimate debt is not repaid in
kind, but the price nevertheless Is
overpaid manifold. The price Is
paid, not in the money given to a
particular candidate today, but the
collection comes finally from all the
people in the liquidation from the
peoples government of the obliga-
tion incurred"
The audience, a demonstratiye
one which filled every chair in Coo
per Union, and knotted about the
entrances, applauded generously. 1t
was a typical Cooper' Union audi
ence, largely men of the type who
think for themselves along radical
lines.
Laughter greeted his reference,
in speaking of the early days of
agitation on behalf of the league
to "a certain ex-President who some
admire and none follow" Applause
broke forth again when he declared
that "for the past year the Senate
has stood as the bulwark of liber-
ties"
The address was the first In Sc
ries to be given nightly during the
week in every borough In the met
ropolitan district.
