journed Authorities believed the
bomb was designed to explode during
the meeting but was not timed cor
rectly.
Intense bitterness has been worked
in some sections Of the city over local

BEGIN HERE TODAY.

After five years of married life,
Lucinda bruce decided that wealth,
youth, beauty and social position
were not sufficient for happiness.
The heavy drinking and promiscuous
Irritation of her husband, Bellamy,
had destroyed his Wife's love for him
and he has been warned that his next
escapade will man a definite break.
Events are in this state when Luz
clnda visits the studio of Alma Daley,
motion picture queen, on the invita-
ton of Harry Lontaine. Lontaine is
about to form moving picture COM
pany in California. Melinda is
greatly interested in the work at the
studio but laughingly rejects Alma
Daiey's offer of a chance to appear
IN the next picture. That evening,
at the Palais Royal, Lucinda is dane
ing with Daubeney when an intoxicat-
ed couple crash into them and fall
to the floor.

Daubeney surrendered the paste

Lucinda went out.
At the street door she gave the at

with coin. "And hurry, please !"
The man saluted respectively and
vanished.
She fastened to the street, move
which she found immediate reason to

In wild stare she identified the
face of her chauffeur, saw that he
understood the situation and was
anxious to be helpful.

GO ON WITH THE STORY.

Defisive cackles and outlaws of
clowns broke out on all sides, space
was cleared round the unfortunates.
Are you all right, Cinda?" Dob
bin asked. She nodded and tried to
smile. Lets get out of this"
"No-wait" Lucinda insisted. Per-

stood watching her partner in shrew-

scrambled up.

he spoke TO Bellamy in a low voice,
and the latter swung round with
startled eyes and dropping jaw.
She closed her fingers on his wrist
and put all her strength into that
grasp. %,S
Come, Bel" she said clearly and
not unkindly. please don't keep me
waiting. The car is here, we're 60

For a moment the balance wav-

knew she had won.
"Oh, Alright" he mumbled with
strange docility. Didn't know you

She drew him away. He yielded
without remonstrance, permitted
her to lead him to the door of the
car, stumbled in ,pn his knees, and
crawled up to the seat.
Lucinda followed, the door closed
behind her with clap sweeter than

purring gears the car shot out of

HOW MANY POLITICAL JOBS HAS GOVERNOR
CAMPBELL, CREATED
(AriZOna DAILY Starr


Downing the robes of the soothSayer, the Arizona
State Republican. in its leading editorial of Sunday
morning July 10 pretended to most uncanny knowledge
OF Democratic plans. 1t stated that the Democrats
not proposing down the number of state offices and
commissions which exist by statute. and NEARLY all of
which created under Democratic administrations
This statement is either a deliberate attempt at de-
ception. is evidence of Almost abySmal gnoranc. 1t
is charitable that the latter is the true
one. However that may be- the Tucson evening paper
aped the show Of wisdom III its issue of three days
later.
The fasity of the statement becomes apparent from
even casual glance at the record of the Campbell adj
ministration. In the Of this administration 10
offices and connssion-nlany of them long since
proven faiures-have been created To maintain these
Republican jobs the has been required to appropl
ate over half million dollars.
This astounding showing Nigh well be doubted were
the facts readily demonsrable Here is list of
these boards. all Of them created within the last adj
mlnlStratlOn. with the appropriated for their
maintenance: Budget secretary $4,000: Board of Di
of State Institutions. SlS00 Resource Board,
ter Commissioner $S 900; Colorado River Commission.
$5000 Child Welfare Board $4,000; Board of Account
ancy. appropriations Zeal Estate Board. apprOpria

Examiners. appropriations Board of ChirOpractic,

sion, 100000; superintendent OF Banks S42OO; State
Certificate Board Appropriation; State Board of No
catiOna Rehabilitation, $1,000: Normal School Cadet
Commission, $4,000.
Here is total expenditure of 1864 5OO-of the tax
payers money-for political offices. How many
doubtful supporters be found to the CampbellMad-
dox machine with $4655OOs How many political sub
bosses can be appeased with this money!
The Campbell Maddox machine is well-greased. BY
jucous expenditure, 1854 800 be made go long
way in preparing for campaign The beauty of it is
that some Republican editors think the public does not
see the grease the fingers of the mechanics.
Sitting of the stools of the pie-counter, the
Phoenix Republican fails to the luscious offerings
