People To Talk
To Themselves
At Nogales Show

People will talk to themselves next
Thursday and Friday at the Tele-
phone Company's Long Distance ex-
position at the Nogales telephone Of
flee, and for the first time will hear
themselves as others do, over the
telephone.
THAT doesn't sound like me,
many will say, which will not be
surprising as they have never heard
their own telephone voice before.
This Hear Your Voice" equip
ment recoeds the voice as you talk
and seproduces it through a tele-
phone receiver. The recording IS
done magnetically on moving loop
of steele tape which passes close to
an electromagnet in circuit with the
telephone. The fluctuating voice
currents leave a varying amount OF
magnetism on the tape. The speech
is reproduced by making the loop
repeat it's circuit.
While one person talks, oCIlerh
hear him through head receivers
and then, when the speech IS re-
produced by the voice mirror, they
hear him again while he also hears
himself.
A great deal of interest will be
shown in the other exhibits at the
show, some of them graph1cally
portraying the development OF long
| distance service and others belne
participating exhibits such as the
Hear Your Voice demonstration
Another of this type is the Oscllo

DELEGATESTO CHICAGO MEET
Remarks Og Nogales Man Throw Phoenix Convention
Into Uproar And Prevents Naming Gegax
And F. Brophy AS Delegates

turkey" and accomplish what he
went after at former conventions
at Philadelphia in 1886, Phoe-
nix in 1892 but never in such
fine trim as he was in Phoenix Sat
urday.
In that convention he reminded
us, as power politically, of that
Grand Old Man Of Arizona Demo-
cracy = the late Governor George
w. P. Hunt, who, too, had a way OF
making "the boys" sit up, take
notice, and like it.
Mr.. Bowman demonstrated his
great power when, during the after
noon session Saturday, he entered
a strenuous objection to Arizona
Democracy sending Frank Gegax
and Frank Brophy as delegates to
Chicago.
Gegax, a Maricopa county lead
er, and Brophy, wealthy Phoenician
who has extensive holdings along
the Santa Cruz-Cochise county line,
had been recommended by the con-
vention's nominating committee as
two of the eighteen delegates to
Chicago.
AS quickly as he learned of the
committees action the prominent
Nogalian lost no time letting the
convention know he was "agin"
Gegax and Brophy.
Gegax, he said, jumps around too
much from one candidate to anoth-
er, and his objection to Brophy was
on the grounds that Brophy is an
anti-New Dealer. Brophy, a short
time ago, was mentioned as a can
didate for governor on the RepubI-
can ticket.
Committeeman BOwman's re-
marks put the kiss of death on
Gegax and Brophy as delegates,
and threw the convention into an
uprOar. A tall, aged Maricopa wom-
an rushed to the speakers stand,
and addressing the convention, re-
ferred to Gegax as "Gegax and
his hireIings."
Quickly the Maricopa delegates to
the staJe convention went INTO q
huddle. Following a half hour S
caucus they had crossed Gegax and
Brophy off the list of Chicago dele
gates, and a. few minutes later the
convention, with the nominating
committees report amended elm
mating Gegax and Brophy, was
adopted.
Bowman's action highlighted the
convention which was one of the
most harmonious confabs Arizona
Democrats ever held.
If Gegax felt any disappointment
at Bowman's action he didn't show
it, for on Saturday evening, a few
hours after he had lost his chance
to be delegate, GegaX, smiling
and friendly as usual, was shaking
hands,, chatting, and attending a
Democratic banquet, with the man
who has the iron hand with the
velvet glove.
