PHOENIX, Jan. 27.-The special

on the suffrage amendment and oti-
er matters will not be set for any
date earlier than February 10, and
the call will not De Issued before
February l. This was the announce
nfent last night by Governor Camp
bell, a few hours after he had ar
rived in Phoenix.
The governor returned home last
night from his three weeks trip ID
Washington in the interests of the
vests program for reclamation leg
isiation, after stopping over al Tue
con and Florence He showed no
trace of the usual fatigues OF fast
travelling. and said he would be a:
his office at the usual hour this
morning.
The governor discussed the corr
ing special session briefly, talked AT
some length on the reclamation cam
paign in which he had been engag-
ed, and showed a lively interest in
tie big politics a, the national capi-
fol.
Concerning reclamation prospects
for the west. under the desired $3.50
900, 900 appropriation, the governor
said that big work was done along
that line bu, that he does not an
ficipate any immediate action along
actual construction lines. In com
pany with six other western COVER
nors of other western states. Cover
nor Campbell appeared before the
lawmakers at Washington and pre-
eented the reclamation needs OF the

At present, the governor said, the
government is confronted with the
prospect OF making 5000, 900 900
cover a 1900, 100000 demand, and
the Washington authorities say econ
omy in every line must be observed
to an extreme degree. One hundre !
reclamation bills OF various sorts ar.
before congress. with the prospect
tina; only one will pass. The western
committee united on a form OF the
Jones bill that provides for the is
euance OF s250ODO. 900 bonds for
western reclamation work. TO be pay

IN good hands in both houses of con-
gress with every assurance that 1t
will pass and become available as ma
ch.nery for reclamation development;
whenever possible.
The governor holds that the coul-
try has been apathetic toward re-
clamation work during the last seven
years and that the apathy Is now ov-

MORE LIFE SHOWN
THAN AT CHICAGO

San Francisco, Cal, June 28.-The
opening days session of the Demo
cratic convention, as was expect
ed, showed more life than the first
days performance at Chicago. The
gallery crowd was not so large here
but there was more enthusiasm among
the delegates. 1t was enthusiasm of
the part and mind too because San
Francisco is even dryer as to alcohol
than was Chicago.
Chairman Cummings made keynote
speech that seemed to the newspaper
men to very much surpass in effec-
tlvcness the corresponding effort of
Senator Lodge at Chicago. There was
a lot of punch in the speech which
drew applause frequently from the au-
dience whereas the Lodge grafton rare
ly stirred its hears.
The volume Of applause among the
delegates for Chairman Cummings nu
merous cconiums on the league of
nations forebode i'll for Mr.. Bryan's
success in his attack on the admins
tration league plank. The delegates
are not disposed to argue about the
league but they are for it's endorse
ment as matter of course. Bryan
will have to wor kalmost miracle to
dislodge the vast majority of the con-
vention from it's position in favor of
the league without crippling reserva-
tions.

In this fight Bedingfeld and Mullis
represented on side, while Jenkins,
Caldwell and Quilting were opponets.
The old trouble was brought up in
an argument begun last night over
town taxes, during which, Sheriff Wat
son said the Bedingfeld- Mullis- -Burch
faction charged that jenkins, Caldwell
and their friends were responsible for
the burning last year of negro
church in which the body of negro
was later found.
County policemen also raided Cad
wells place and seized a quantity of
whlskey, Watson stated. AS a result
of the raid, Caldwell is said to have
