Cliff ten precinct, w. c. Crauford, State Representative from Morenci district and Mrs. J. A. Terrell, State Repre- sentative Clifton district
 The Governor made his principal address at Morenci using more time than had been allotted by the com mittee and as consequence it was almost eleven o'clock before he rached the Princess theater in Cliff ton. In the meantime J. A. Smith, R. A. Kirk. Miss Toles, w. J. Galbraith, Mrs Gregg, and Ernest Hall, and Hon. Dell NJ. Potter addressed the Clifton audience awaiting the com ing of the principal speaker of the evening
 For the first time on record Dell Potter seemed at a loss for words. He was put in as pinch hitter ih the eighth inning and struck out just as the Governor entered the hail. Bell had just concluded connecting the Democratic candidate for Cover nor with the enemies of capital when Attorney General Galbraith called the speakers atteption to the letter written by James s. Douglas endo"s ing the candidacy of G. W. P. Hunt. The speaker without any hesitancy, in the next breath. charged the Dem- ocratic candidate for Governor with being the tool of the corporations. The reporter thought that was going some, even for Dell.
 The Governor was given q cordial reception and applause as he pro- ceeded down the aisle to the speak CTS table. It was evident that his extended effort in Morenci had tired him and his usual pep was lacking.
 The speaker of the evening made practically the same speech at Mo renci and Clifton.
 Tn the Governors address at Mo renci reference was made to the situation in this district today where the mines and smeter have ceased,
 temporarily, to operate.
 Tt is all absent because of ne cessity," declared the governor. You and I have no capital to invest. We | does not feel the absence of capital 1 therefore we stand with folded arms l and wait. Who among this audience | does not feel the absence of capital 1 Idle mills, closed mines. hundred oi 1 empty houses-all combine to illus 1 trate the absurdity of Governor Hunts
 attitude toward absent capital" Referring to the statement of the 1 opposition that there were no strike l during Hunts term as governor the
 speaker said that they must have forgotten the strike of 1915 and 191t
 and a part of the year 1917 wher
