drifted away, and passers-by in the
early morning hours saw only a jani-
tor sweeping out the quarters. In the
few hours of Tuesday night Mark
Smith, democratic senator from Ari-
zona since Arizona has had a senator,
had gone down to defeat, and with him
had gone Wiley Jones, attorney gen.
eral, Nit Simms, Harry. Ross, Peter
son, Munich and Foster. 1t had been
a republican slandslide.
Discomfort with the Wilson adj
ministration and a desire for change,
including realization of the sgreat
need for protective tariff to prevent
the market for Arizona products being
ruined by foreign dumping, probably
explains Arizona's reversal of form
and election of the r, publican presi-
Dental electors Political observers
lay much of Tuesdays election result
at the door of the present democratic
administration, which with Australian
wool, Argentine beef and Egyptian cot
ton, had brought about conditions far
FROM favorable to the producers of
this state
So far as the state ticket is con-
cerned, it is evident that the people
are solidly back of Gov. Campbell's
land department policies, and that the
efforts of the democrats to elect
ticket pledged to continuation Of the
previous policy met with disapproval.
AS result Simms, Ross and Jones, all
members of the present land depart
ment were defeated, and Munich, who
although not a member, and not
known to be in favor Of the present
policy, was also carried down by the
landslide. Earhart, the only success
full candidate on the democratic state
ticket whose name appeared under
the party emblem, is new man, never
in any way connected with the land
department row, and it is generally
believed that he did mot favor a con-
tinuation of the department along
present lines. At any rate, four of the
five members composing the depart
ment will be republicans, so that the
democratic member will be largely in
the minority.
It is rumored that Rudolph Kuchler,
retiring member Of the tax commits
sion, will be asked by the new state
land department to take the post OF
state land commissioner after January
1st Kuchler is one of the most out
standing figures in public life in Ari-
zona, being man Of broad experience
and was particularly fitted for con-
structive work on the state tax COM
mission. His failure of reelection is
regarded by thousands of friends
throughout the state as one of the re-
grettable incidents of the campaign,
due perhaps more than anything else
to the fact that his name appeared at
F., the top of the ticket instead of under
| the party emblem.
Gov. Campbell, Thursday, was in re-
ceipt of hundreds of congratulatory
telegrams from all parts of the state
and the country One of them, from
all parts of the state and the country.
One of them, from Gov. Borquez, Of
Sonora, follows:
