Third Avenue Theatre Was
Crowded Last Night to
Hear the Exposition of
Republican Party's Principles.
ALL ISSUES WERE
ABLY DISCUSSED
Wells, Sturges, Cameron,
Williams and Smith
Spoke on Issues of Cam
paign in Logical and Con
vincing Way.
The largest, the most enthusiastic,
and by all odds, the -best political
meeting that has assembled in Phoe
nix this year was the republican
gathering at the Third Avenue the
aler last night, which was addressed
by Judge Wells. Colonel Sturges,
Ralph Cameron. Hoval A. Smith, and
John S. Williams.
It was one of those meetings
where there was no necessity to man
ufacture enthusiasm. The crowd
seemed to have plenty of it and the
telling points made by the speakers
were received with spontaneous ap
plause. And there was a splendid
thing about this the speaking there
was such a variety that the particular
taste of every one must have been
met.
For instance, there was the care
ful. Instructive, and well considered
address of Judge Wells; the brief and
witty speech of Colonel Sturges, that
was replete with catchy epigrams and
toUd sense; the enthusiastic, hammer-and-tongs
style of Ralph Cameron,
the convincing argument of Hoval
Smith, and the composite of wit and
oratory, delivered by Jack Williams,
that brought laughter and applause
at the end of eveij' other sentence.
The meeting r wasT presided over by
P. II. Hayes, chairman of the central
committee, who introduced the speak
ers in turn. On the platform were
a number of distinguished republi
cans, candidates and others.
The speech of Judge Wells was a
dignified, scholarly, and unassuming
presentation of his claims upon the
people of Arizona as the republican
candidate for governor. There were
many important things discussed by
the judge, which won the approval
of his audience. But probably the
most important was that part of his
speech which dealt with his course
In the constitutional convention.
"I opposed the insertion of the re
call and the initiative and referendum
sections in that instrument." said
Judge Wells, "because I knew they
were opposed by President Taft and
because I knew they, therefore, en
dangered statehood. The facts have
shown that we who took that position
were right. The president did reject
the statehood bill, with the judiciary
recall In it; and the reason why he
did not irclude the Initiative and the
referendum in his veto message was
because these matters are Involved in
the Oregon case and will soon be
passed upon by the supreme court.
But I will say this the constitution
has been adopted and it is my con
situation just as it is yours and just
as it is the constitution of every
good citizen. And I will say further
that if I am elected to the office of
governor otie of my first official acts
will be to recommend to the legisla
ture the re-submisslon of the judicial
recall to the people of the new state."
"It has been charged that I was
opposed to statehood. That is both
untrue and absurd, and I will tell
you why. Do you know that by the
enabling act the state of Arizona is
granted 4.000,000 acres of land, worth
at least $12,000,000? That the pro
ceeds from that land are to be ap
plied to the endowment of various In
stitutions, and that $2,000,000 of it
will go to the payment of the bonds
and accrued interest charged against
several of the counties? As a prop
erty owner and a taxpayer do you
suppose for a moment that I "would
oppose statehood when it meant so
much to me and so much to every
other property owner in Arizona?"
It is impossible here to give even
an outline of all of Judge Wells
speech. But among other things it
may be mentioned that he vpoke in
favor of the establishment of an Im
migration and publicity bureau, to
which he proposes to give his atten
tion, and which shall work for the
upbuilding of the new state. The re
marks of the judge were given close
attention and he was frequently ap
plauded. Ralph Cameron went at his sub
ject from shoulder to shoulder. That
subject dealt with his record in con
gress and with his plans for the fu
ture with reference to the enactment
of laws for the good of the people
of the new state. He said he was
not In the habit of making promises
that could not be fulfilled and he
said that if the people of this state
elect the republican ticket he is con
fident that within five years there
will be evidence of such growth in
