organization OI ftOUn6 IOWn Kempton club was perfected last eve. ming in Bisbee at meeting held at the justice court chambers in the | branch county building when nearly 75 miners and business men pledged their support in favor of the local chief Of police for the office of sher- iff of Cochise county.
 Unexpected enthusiasm and at tendance was the portion of the meet ing. Few business men were in at tendance as the meeting had been called at the behest of friends of Kemp" in the local mines. A few. however, were on hand and pledged their support likewise to the candi- date
 After a few explanatory remarks regarding the reason for the meet ing, the name of William Hulley was placed in nomination for president of the club. The nomination was sec onded and Hulley was made president of the organization by exclamation Hullsy is one of the old-time miners
 
 the best known Democrats in Cochise county Meade Powell, in the employ of the storehouse organization of the c. & A was unanimously choosen as secretary
 With the election of officers com- pledged himself to the end that Kempton be nominated and elected the next sheriff of Cochise county.
 ''I am a hard-rock miner" said MT. Hulley in thanking the gathering for the honor, "and I have lived in this county for many years. During my entire residence here I have known liked and respected J. A. Kempton. l knew bim before he entered the po- lice department of the city and have followed his work closely since that time. I can honestly say that Kemp is the same man. today, that he was years ago, except he has grown re- markedly in ability 10 handle men and conditions. I will say that l think this club, composed as it is of both business men and wage earners, will have great influence in nominat- ing Kempton.
 "The mud diggers of Bisbee know Kemp They know that he is not up stage and that he will give any one, who even looks like he deserves it, square deal from every stand point. That is one reason why I am for Kempton. feel certain that this organization will continue to grow from the very suspicious beginning it has had this evening and will terni- nate its activities with celebration of the nomination of Kempton."
 The president then called for sug- gestions and talks from the floor of the meeting. Miners are notoriously bad speakers, but those in the meet ing last evening were unafraid to make an effort. In practically every case, their talks were confined to:
 I'm for Kemp" and We're going to put him over"
 Discussion of the organization of the club was then gone into. It was decided, upon motion from the floor. that three committees should be chosen, an executive committee, one on publicity and one on finance.
 President Hulley named the follow ing men on the executive committee of the club: Frank Huckleby, Sim Harris, J. s. Warren, Frank Salmon and R. J. Brown. The members of the finance committee are John w. Hogan, J. R. Henderson and J. J. Bowen. The publicity committee consists of G. J. Churchill, F. w.. Beddow and Chet Johnson.
 At this point the candidate was asked to give his idea of his cam paign and of his chances for nomi- nation.
