CAMPBELL |. ". ".
TALK DISPOSED Of
IN EVERY INSTANCE

Governor Thomas e. Campbell fail
ing to receive the approval Of the
people Of Arizona for his administra-
ti0n of the affairs of the state, in des-
reraticn has been driven to the ex-
podient of trying to destroy the repu-
tation Of his opponent. Governor
Campbell has not relied on facts to
do this, but has resorted to half
truths, falsehoods out of the whole
cloth and manufactured evidence to
ausrain his campaign speeches. The
]. w. w. scare, about which his excel
lency is crying WOLF Wolff"
breaks down before the logic of facts.
President Harding, Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, Philander G. Knox, and
ether prominent republican states
men, stand sponsor for the refutation
OF the falsity OF his statements.
The Winslow mail., 1922-11-03

Thel ast I. w. w. scare. which has
been staged in Mohave county, is re-
futed by former State Senator c. w.
Herndon, the present state senator.
James Curtin, and numerous other re-
sponsible citizens Of Mohave county.
Governor Campbell and the other
republican candidates have told their
story SO often that they now almost
believe the creature Of their own
brain.
The banner which was displayed in
Kingman, about which Governor Tom
has been raving US and down the
state for some time. and which he
claims was on L.. w. w. headquarters
in Kingman, is now on the wall of the
democratic state headquarters III
Phoenix and open to inspection. Harry
Carey, the author of the banner, over
mis- own signature, says:
''The banner in question was dis
played on the front of a building oc-
cupied by the undersigned, a ieweler
and matchmaker repair shop. The or
ganization Of the |. W. w. is not i'll
terested in this shop in any shap,
o. form. / am not q member OF the

ent governor of Arizona asserts llltt
this shop is an l. w. w. headquartaJs
I do hereby brand him as reprehen-
sible liar. Respectfully,

NEGRO FARMERS MAKE PROGRESS


St. Mark community, Lee county,
Arkansas, furnishes an example of
substantial progress made by negro
farmers who have benefited from
agricultural extension work Accord
ing to report received by the United
States department of agriculture. OF
IS families in this community, SO own
their own farms, comprising $500
acres valued at about 100000. In ac-
cord with the safe-farming system
advocated by extension workers in
southern states, these families for the
most part raise food and feed suf-
ficient to meet needs of themselves
and their stock each year by growing
corn, legumes, hogs, poultry and good
gardens, in addition to their cotton
crops.

HUNT DID IT, IOO,'
REASON GIVEN BY
TON FOR bLUNDER

Governor Thomas E. Campbell,
when driven into a corner in trying
to explain the condition in which the
affairs of the State Of Arizona are
now, and failing to find any other ex-
planation, winds up by saying: Hunt
did it, too.!"
Governor Campbell always fails to
say. when he makes his comparisons,
that Hunt had sound business prin-
ciple behind him, while he has moth
ing but excuses.
In his Wilcox speech, Governor
Campbell sought to justify the loan
made on raw desert land at Maricopa
by stating that Hunt made the first
loan Of $4,000" He failed to state
that Hunt made loan which is a
GOOD LOAN, secured by irrigated
land, pumping plants and improve
ments, with a valuation placed On the
land of S100 an acre. That the loan
made by Governor Campbell of $4,000
was made on raw desert land, without
improvements, on land upon which a
valuation Of $3.50 an acre was placed
Seeking for an excuse for the loss
Of S433,000 through the failure Of the
Central Banks, he says THE Central
Bank was accepted as depository by
Governor Hunt He fails to state
that when the Central Bank was made
a state depository. under Governor
Hunt, it was sound banking institu-
tion, and that THE STATE DEPOS-
IT'S WE'RE AMPLY SECURED BY
FIRST-CLASS SECURITIES, and that
he (Campbell) sent Senate Bill No
100 to the secretary of state to become
a law and permit state deposits to be
secured by such worthless collateral
as wildcat Oil stock
Under such comparisons, which can
be made in every department Of the
state government, where is Camp
ellis boasted efficiency?

LARGE ORDERS FOR
CARS AND ENGINES

"The orders the railways have
placed thus far this year for locomo-
tives and freight cars show that they
are using all available resources to
increase their facilities, says the Rail-
way Age. The number of freight
cars ordered this year to October Is
was 122,953. This exceeds the average
annual records OF both the last five
and the last ten years. In fact, in
only three years of the last ten were
larger orders placed, namely in 1912,
1913 and 1916. The average number
of cars ordered annually in the ten
years ending with 1921 was 106,469,
and in the five years ending with
1921 it was 64619.
The number of locomotives which
had been ordered to October Is was
1892. The average number ordered
annually in the ten years ending with
1921 was 2,118. Thus, orders placed
in the first Al weeks of this year do
not exceed the average number or
derd annually in the five years ending
with 1921, which was only 1,483.
sThe new equipment bought will
not, of course, result in an equivalent
ment in service. The averagen umber
of locomitives retired from service
annually in the ten years ending with
1921 was 11,615. This is only lit less
than the total number ordered thus
far this year. The average number
of freight cars scrapped and retired
from service annually in the ten years
ending with 1921 was 76,760. This is
only 46,193 less than the total number
ordered thus far this year. Because
of inability of the railways within
recent years to buy a normal amount
of new equipment, then umber of To-
comotives and cars that ought to be
retired is now unusually large.
"The mparatively large orders for
locomotives and cars being placed
evidently are being predicated On the
belief of railway managers that traf-
fic will continue to move in increas-
ing volume"
