The Herald correspondent today, Mr.
Pool said:
IT am not certain of election by any
means, but I have learned within the
past few days the gratifying fact that
the drift Of sentiment is turning our
way. The business men generally viii
vote the Republican ticket this yecb
and so viii the working people who are
at all inclined toward conservatism.
The fact that I have met many people
recently and have discussed these mat
tiers with them leads me 10 make this
statement.
There is another thing" Mr.. Pool
continued. men with money to invest
.
/ know this to be true; and I know
that in the event OF an insurgent
triumph in the coming election 1t IS
Z going to be a great deal worse than II
is now. I know that many of my
/ personal friends, men who have splen-
did business propositions, are unable
to secure a dollar Of capital for their
4 development
Now, some people may call this an
attempt at intimidation-they may say
( that when a capitalist declares he will
| hold on to his money until he knows
/ the result Of an election that he is try
Z ing to influence the voters. But in the
/ present instance that is sheer nonsense.
I Capitalists are like other men. They
/ are not going to risk their money
where they. conceive it to be In danger.
So, with these people it is a matter Of
plain business-political sentiment has
nothing whatever 10 do with it"
Wells Makes Friends.
/ Judge Weiss business and prosper
I ity talks have made him an immense
number Of friends. The judges per-
/ sonal program, as announced by him
/ from almost every platform from which
ne mas SJokens may not appeal very
J strongly to those most emotiOnally in
/ clined; but that program is gradually
! coming TO be recognized as eminently
/ safe and trustworthy. Instead Of talk
/ ing about the tyranny Of Taft" the
/ 'lnalineable right Of the people Of Ari-
/ iona to manage their affairs in any
I way they please" the Hsacredness and
ever written" and things of that sort,
/ the judge is conducting his campaign
/ Tor governor along straight out bust
/ ness lines. He has not promised to do
/ the impossible, nor has he appealed to
/ the passion Of his hearers. Rather he
/ has promised only what he knows he
can do, and his appeal has been made
/ to the common sense Of the electors.
The following statement, made today
! by Judge Wells, viii give a fair idea
/ Of the plan he is pursuing in the con-
] duct Of his campaign.
1 Would Fulfill Pledges.
Il believe the people OF this terri
I tory are Just as much interested in re-
/ storing to Arizona the prosperity that
{ is our natural inheritance as am And
I II doesn't matter whether you be a
/ Democratic, Republican or Socialist, you
I are interested in the restora ton Of
] prosperity. We are all in the same
boat; hard times affect the merchant.
the farmer, the miner and the railroad
/ man, regardless Of his politics.
IF I am elected governor my first
duty shall be to fulfill the pledges con-
I tanned in the platform upon which !
am running, namely, to enforce each
I and every provision Of the constitution,
/ in letter and in spirit; to use the in
{ fluence Of the office OF governor in
] every proper way to the end that the
first legislature may promptly enact all
I the legislation required Of It by the
] constitution, including a WOrkmen's
I compulsory compensation law, an en-
] plOyefs AaplllLy law ana a QlrecI pr1-
] mary law, covering every elective office.
! Ny next duty as governor will be to
J 10 everything that a governor can to-
( ward the fulfillment of the pledges in
+ the platform. In my first message to
/ the legislature I shall ask for the I'M
mediate resubmission to a vote of the
people Of the recall Of the judges sec
/ ton Of the constitution"
] It's just q trifle odd, but there is not
] q single material difference between
| those pledges and the pledges made by
| AIr. Hunt. Of course, Mr.. Hunt pledges
/ himself to carry out the Democrat tic
! platform, just as Judge Wells pledges
I himself to carry out the Republican
! platform; but there is no difference as
