Trovel1mg Tom Exposed

At last I have achieved one youth i full ambition; l have acquired nick name.' Governor Campbell told an | audience at one of his recent political meetings. My opponents on the other side of the political fence have dubbed me Travelling Tom and I gladly ac- cept the appelation. I do travel when- ever and wherever I think l can be of service to the people of my native state, whether that be out inspecting state institutions, road jobs, or whatnot, or going outside the state, after recla- nation for Arizona or to represent you in a manner I try to make commen- surate with the dignity of the office to which you elected me.
 T recall one trip for which my op- ponents criticize me" continued the governor. That was when went to welcome back your soldier sons and brothers and sweethearts at Fl Paso, and to use the governors office, and any weight it might carry with gov ernment officials, to speed the boys on their way home to you. Do you feel like criticizing me for that?
 | Cries of No, mo-" and loud applause marked this part of the governors ad- dress.
 But now I admit that was one time maybe I should have stayed at home, l for no sooner was I across the state line, and my present opponent, as sec- retary of state, became acting govern or. than he paid man l had dis l charged as adjutant general. several thousand dollars of your money in al- legged back pay to which he was not entitled. Simms did this, he said, on the advice of the attorney general, Wiley Jones, and just the other day Jones again reversed himself and ad- limited I had a right to discharge Har- ris, just as the supreme court sus- tained me. But that doesn't get your money back.
 And then there was that trip to Salt Lake where governors from AS sovereign states assembled at the gov ernors' conference, and where I was selected as one of a committee of seven to go back to Washington and ask the Government if there was anything the governors could do to aid in reducing the ever mounting high cost of living on the horizon of industry.
 And I am surprised at my Demo cratic friends criticizing me for that trip, for we went back to Washington to sit at the very feet of democracy and we asked the president what we lcOuld do 10 nelp nm, and he told us that if we would just induce the senate to accept his league Of nations all oul troubles would be over. And then ", came home.
