Arizona republican., 1908-10-24

water would be turned through the
 Maricopa and there is much rejoic ing in their midst.
 l. Mrs. Fitzpatrick of Arlington and
 Mrs. Joe Holly spent the day Friday
 with Mrs. Bruce Brooks.
 We are sorry to say that Louis Kohl
 and family are soon to leave our dis
 trict Mir. Kohl sold his ranch last
 week to Mrs. Lilly Tovrea and gives possession Monday. He expects to ! invest again in real estate and already
 has two or three ranches in view but
 has not fully decided upon one. With
 the ranch he sold his cows, hay and
 farm implements. Taking everything
 into consideration, the price he paid
 for the place a few months ago, and
 his expenses he has cleared about
 s2000 on the investment. It pays to invest in Fowler real estate. We are | glad for Mir. Kohl's financial success
 but are sorry to see him and his es- | timable family leave our community but wherever they go they wiu have the respect and good wishes of the people of Fowler.
 Mrs. Maggie Brooks visited Mrs. | Hansen Monday.
 Lew Graham made a business trip | to Phoenix Tuesday.
 George Kay and family visited in Phoenix Monday.
 Fowler district has been forced out | of its naturally calm quiet life and of | late has been the scene of several ex- citing events. The meetings of the | Cooperative Creamery comapny first l disturbed the quiet lives of our citizens and during the past week political | spealIings have been the order of the day
 The candidates that the republican party saw fit to put on the county | ticket came out in a body Tuesday night to tell us just why we should vote for every one on the ticket They ! met with a very hearty reception and seemed to enjoy being among us as | much as we enjoyed having them When we consider that the candidates are out every day and every night working hard. meeting people and talking politics and are undoubtedly worn out with it and then as We saw them Tuesday night we feel that their pleasure is net feigned but genuine Lew Graham acted as chairman and introduced first Paul R. Ingles as speaker of the evening. MT Ingles gave short sketch of each candi- date and reasons why each should be ! supported. He said that the selection had been Q business proposition and 1 that the men selected were not politi- eians but business men who had shown their efficiency for office by their | ability to take care of their own busi- ness. He first spoke of George Hahn, for the council. We were assured that if MT Hahn were elected he would give his time and ability to our in- terests. Mir. Hahn is a conservative rather than a radical on any question 1 but would stop at nothing to further the interests of Maricopa county. Roy s. Goodrich was not present but Mir Ingles did not neglect to tell us of the admirable qualities of this very de- serving young man. It was Mir. Good rich who drafted the Foraker amend ment to the statehood bill which gave us the right to vote on the question of joint statehood. He spent his time and money going to Washington to fight against joint statehood. This alone is enough to recommend him for our legislature. But those who see him and hear him talk will find he has other qualifications. He is earnest, conscientious, and not afraid to say what he believes. He also has the rare gift of speaking intelligently when he does speak: a very necessary quali- fication for a legislator.
 Dr. Wilbur was sick and could not be present but MT. Ingles represented him to us as a man who when he sees the right will vote for it regardless of everything.
 J. c. Reed and l. V. Stewart were both spoken of and represented as men without the like of whom, our legislature could not exist.
 s. w. Higley. MT. Ingles said was the ideal man for sheriff. that the sheriff business was a big one and there was more to do than arrest criminals and that we would find MT. Higley equal to the occasion
 He spoke next of H. B. Wilkinson for district attorney He said Mir. Will kinson was running against a very popular man but expected handsome majority from Fowler for he has the octiiit lllNtItSlH tui DtDRAt nave bNAAi6 owner of several hundred acres of land in one part of the valley
 E. A. Spaulding for treasurer Mir Ingles said could be trusted as had been proved by the confidence placed in him by people from all over the United States. People from other states. knowing him to be trustworthy had sent him their money to invest and had never found him lacking.
 George W. Cowgill's work on the board of trade is enough to recom- mend him to office. When Mir. Cow gill left the irrigation congress people knew Arizona was on the map and had the goods to deliver.
 Judge Phillips was spoken of as a self made man. But he needed no in troductien. ..
 over Homer Davis, candidate for superintendent of schools, MT Ingles became very enthusiastic. He said, MT. Davis's opponent says. Homer is nice boy but he is too young Too young We want young men. this is the day of the young men. Have those who make this criticism forgotten their youth that they try to surpass the ambition that fires the young man of today" And so on down the ticket
