 The state maintains that this is an unusual ground for the de- fense to take in criminal case that the substantial rights of the defendant are not impaired, but benefited. if tales men say they would not irflct the death penal ty.
 The prosecution claims the chalI enges are illtimed after  other challenges have been inter- posed and disallowed. The de- fense on the other hand contends the opposite, that man who has any bias whatsoever that would make him unable to view the evi- dence in the proper percep tive. should not be allowed totserve.

I do not wish, however, to create the impression that am a corporation batter, for am not. Corporations have done a great deal to assist in develop ing the lesoures of Arizona, and we need more of them and more outside capital than we now have to further develop our resources and open up our vast area of undeveloped territory thatis rich in lumber, coal, copper, other mineral deposits, and agricultur- al possibilities, 1 am thoroughly in favor, however, of regulation n and control of public service cor poration; they should not discrim mate against any one or any locality, nor should they them selves be discriminated against, and if elected member of the corporation commission, I pro- pose to be equally fair, just. and reasonable in dealing with err porations. with all business inter ests, and with all the people of Arizona.
 I Go not propose to represent any one country. locality or or ganization more than another, but will repesent the people of Arizona as a whole, and I have nopersonal spite or enmity against any men or any business interest in the state.
 The corporation commission will be one of the most important branches of our state govern ment, and will hold in it's hands the power to dr great good or evil, to build up op destroy. With inefficient or unfair officials in control, incalculable damage can be done tn the people and the stace of Arizona.
 I believe l am thoroughly familiar with the rate situation in Arizona, and know the reforms  that are needed in public service corporations and how to bring them about.
 During the years in which I was a railroad man, l earned every cent of my salary bv hard work and long hours: 1 have never had or spent a dollar 1 did not earn myself. and my hands and my record are absolutely clean and always shall be. owe no allegiance or favors to any one. and if elected a member of the corporation commission, 1 will perform my part of the dut- ies of chat office with equal fair ness to all and special privilege to none. I promise you to per form in an honest. efficient and fair manner, without fear and without favor. the duties of cor poration commissioner, as outlin- ed in our constitution and as may be further prescribed by future legislation.
 With this statement, Iearnest- ly solicit your support at the cleo to be held on December 12th.
