.BIG CHANDLER CROWD
 GIVES GOv. CAMPBELL SPLENDID RECEPTION

Returning yesterday from closing his Cochise county campaign with an address at Tombstone. Gov. Thomas E. Campbell, after a busy day at his desk in the capitol. addressed an en- thusiastic meeting at Chandler, where he denounced Attorney General Wiley Jones for his villification of the gov ernor in C recent speech there and also went into a detailed expose of the past and present administration of the state lands by which, he alleged, this vast heritage of the people was being turned over in great measure to spe- cial privilege.
 In his Tombstone speech the gov ernor declared that lie had conducted his campaign without stooping to per sonal villification of any of his oppo- nents. although he had been the mark for the poisoned shafts of false and libelous utterances voiced by his op- ponents and a number of the hired criminal lawyers stumping the state in behalf of the Cattle Growers asso- citation.
 The denunciation of Jones was called forth by the latter's declaration that Governor Campbell had paid man named Harker s5000 to forge the Barrows letter which played such a prominent part in the investigation last summer of Land Commissioner Moeur, and which investigation was abruptly terminated on motion of Nit Simms while Governor Campbell was absent from the state.
 l "If I am a briber who doesn't this man, sworn to uphold and enforce the laws of the state, put me in jail where I would belong if I could be capable of such an act? Why doesn't he swear out a warrant for Parker if Parker forged the letter? I will issue extradi- tion papers for Parker the moment such warrant is issued,' he said. "I have refrained throughout this campaigns from even sighting refer ence to my opponent or indulging in any personalities, but if I wanted to descend to the level of this man, Wiley by name and willy by nature, I, too, could wallow in the mud of personal charges against one who, with a skin full of dirt, with no defense beyond the employment of false and libelous utterances, seeks to discredit by lies one whom he cannot touch with truth. My 20 years in public life and my pri- | vate life are and always have been open to the public. In all that time have one of you ever known me to be guilty of questionable acts, politically or morality"
 
 appreciation of the governors char
 acter and reputation by vociferously
 cheering him at the conclusion of this
 part of his address.
 Touching upon the charge of his op-
 ponents that his had been an extrava-
 gant administration, Governor Camp
 bell pointed out that only the legis-
 lature can make appropriations, and
 that 1t was a Democratic legislature
 which passed the appropriations with
 which to conduct state business. The governor read from official records
 to show where the money had gone3
 pointed out that the state tax rate this
 year was but 471k cents per $100 of valuation as against 50 cents the previous year; and that state institu- tions had been so economically admin istered under his regime that the tidy
 sum of S11S,000 had been saved to the
 taxpayers, comparable with the record of the Hunt administration for the
 same period of time.
 And this in the face of tremen- dously increased costs of everything from pins to prunes used at these in- stitutions," he continued. Despite ,. these increased costs of material, fooC and salaries for the first time in tht 7 history of Arizona we not only ad ministered the state institutions, witt one exception, within the appropria tions, but actually saved and returned to the general fund more than $60,00 of the appropriations unexpended." E Answering his opponents declara ton that, if elected, he would stay Il Arizona, Governor %CampbeH declared K he would if reelected, continue to g' wherever he thought he could be o real service to the people of his nativ' K state.
