CENTRAL ARIZONA CLUBWOMEN SECOND GOVERNORS PROPOSAL
 ON CHILD WELFARE MEASURES
Federation Hears Address of Executive at Annual Con- vention-Adopt Resolutions Music, Dress Reform and Better Movies-Presdents Speech

Urging the women of the federation to support proper legislation for the welfare of children of the state, Gov. Thomas E. Campbell. in an address be- fore the Central Arizona District fed eration convention at Peoria yesterday, emphasized the need of a separate home for degenerate girls.
 The governor never received a more genuinely enthusiastic greeting than when he appeared before the gathering, representing the officers and delegates of 19 clubs that form the federation. When he appeared at the door every woman rose to her feet and cheered re- peatedly. This is the first time in the history of a federation convention that even a popular speaker was greeted with more than the conventional ap- plause. The message that the governor brought to the assemblage in his ad- dress on "Citizenship' was received with keen appreciation of its worth. The governor charged the women to fully exercise their acquired rights as citizens in the matter of education, touching upon civics, industry and commerce.
 At the conclusion of his talk the fed eration unanimously passed a resolu- ton as in favor of the measures sug- gested by Governor Campbell:
 Resolved, that the federation go on record as favoring the two measures suggested by the governor for the well fare of the children of the state. viz: Proper legislation for the care of or plan children apd the creating of a separate home for the delinquent girl wards of the state; also that his clarion call be needed that the women of this federation fully exercise their newly acquired right as citizens"
