ARIZONA MAN SAYS HARMON IF OHIO
 SURE WINNER
EI Paso Were Unanimous For Great Democratic Leader.

PHOENIX-C. T. Byrd, who has re- turned from a trip east coming by way of Fl Paso, where the cattlemen were holding their convention, pre- diets the nomination of Governor Har- mon, at the democratic convention at Baltimore. MT. Byrd says that he finds a very strong sentiment for Har- mon, in the east and at the Fl Paso convention Harmon seemed to have more strength among the cattlemen than all the other candidates combin- ed. The sentiment is to 'get a man that is progressive and one that can win and one that has proven what he stands for by his works
 Speaking of Harmon, MT. Byrd said. If you will examine the laws enact ed during the Harmon administration, you will find that Ohio has enacted more real progressive laws than any other state with the exception prob ably of Wisconsin, and Oklahoma that is more laws have been enacted for the benefit and relief of the people and especially the iaboring people. The people who toll are not afraid of Harmon, neither are the honest cor porationS and business interests and they must be reckoned with as we nave 1OunQ Oy past experience. GOVer- nor Harmon, as well as being an able lawyer, is a business man and were he elected president would run the government affairs on a business ba- sis and save to the people half bill lion of dollars per year. As result of his work along this line in Ohio, the average tax rate has been reduc- ed from three per cent to about nine mills; the appraisement of the Ohio public utilities corporation for taxa tion has been increased one billion dollars, the railroads alone in 1911 will pay nearly two million dollars more than they did in 1910 before the liar mon tax reform. The valuation of per sonal tax property of the state was in 1911 from about eight hundred mill lion to two billion five hundred mil lion, and the most of this increase was

 The Enquirer is the property of John R. Mclean of Washington, D. G. who also is of the Washington (D.C) Post. In part that editorial reads:

 Harmon is in favor of the ratifca- ton of the proposed income tax amendment to the federal constitution the election of United States SenaorS by direct vote of the people. If Gov Harmon is nominated he will be elec- ted and the nation will enjoy a good progressive economical administration as Ohio is now enjoying under him as governor. The east is not afraid to trust him and as the west learns of his works of progressiveness will not be afraid to trust him.
 MT. Byrd is a native of Kentucky and has always been a progressive ago practiced law in Oklahoma where he helped write the Oklahoma consti- tuition. He is in favor of the initiative and referendum and the recall, and is also in favor of giving the women the right to vote as he says it will purify the ballot.

SURVEY OF STATE LINE-Cou

SURVEY OF STATE IlNE-County Surveyor Tunis has completed the survey of the dividing line between New Mexico and Arizona, from the Gila river north more than 20 miles past the Twin Peaks. As a result it has been definitely determined that the Twin Peaks mining claims lie partly in New Mexico, and partly in Arizona. The Apache Box, Clear Lake and American Exploration Co.'S properties lie wholly within New Mexi- co. But there is about three miles more territory in Greenlee county than has been commonly supposed. All but three of the government sur vey monuments were located. The corner stake which defined the south east corner of Graham and the north east corner of Cochise counties is and a survey by the Cochise and Greenlee county surveyors will be necessary to determine where it was originally planted.

The Tucson Post


 From the point of view of a radical ly progressive Democrat, the message of Governor Hunt to the first legisla- ture of the state of Arizona it is a success. There is not a measure that 1sc herished by a radically progress sive Democrat that is not recom- mended. From a standpat Democratic view, it out Herrods Herrod. If the constitution of Arizona, which was openly denounced by the standpat Democrats is radical, then the mess age is radically radical Just how these two wings of the Arizona demo- crats can ever coalesce with their di- vergent views as to what is and what is not Democratic measures it is inn possible to imagine.
 The message is, however, dignified and precise in it's statements of what the legislature should do in enacting laws to govern the state of 4r:z>na. There can be no question as to the governors views. He is honest and outspoken in what he regards as ne cessary legislation for the welfare of the people and the government of the state. On the whole the governors recommendations are in the interest of good government, though some of them are exceedingly radical if the sweeping changes he suggests should be inaugurated.

The Daily International

It will be admitted by all who read the message of Governor Hunt that it contains much that is worthy of ap- proval. The document shows that Governor Hunt has lost no time in in forming himself on conditions of the new state and it shows further that he has found some mighty good plans for improving old conditions and methods of government.
 The governor stands by the recall and asks that the first measure enact ed shall be the passing of resolution providing for constitutional conven- tion that will return by amendment to the constitution the judiciary recall which was eliminated as a means of attaining statehood after President Taft vetoed the statehood resolution that provided for the recall of the ju- dietary. Whatever. may be the opin- ion as to the merits of the recall of the judiciary all must agree with the governor that the people are entitled to the opportunity for reinstating the recall in the constitution if they so de- sire.

Public Opinion

the democrats, if the latter could be misled into a violation of a tacit pledge given the voters in the last campaign.
 If the election were a special one much of the objection entertained against the attempt to postpone the state election until 1914 might be waiy ed. But this year a national election must be held and we must also elect representative in congress. So that the office-term-eXtender who is no less odious than the office-grabber, may not offer any excuse why his term should not end with the present year.
 The Phoenix Gazette
 Standing before the most progres- sive legislative body of the United States in Arizona's capitol yesterday afternoon, Governor George w. P. Hunt gave to that body and to the world the most consistently sane and comprehensive program of progressive legislation ever projected or written into this countrys political history
 Never before in his life did Cover nor Hunt more fully measure up to the standards prescribed for him in the mind and heart of AriZonas pop- ulace, or assume a more influential place in history than was his by right or courage ana achievement after the last words of his official utterances had resounded through the assembly chamber. The address was the meas ure of the man. It was the appeal of proletariat in the best accepted sense in behalf of that great multi tude which is not environed with spe- cial privilege, intrenched power, or riches unquestionably gained, and which, therefore, is most in need of that protection and encouragemen which only the law and it's proper en- forcement can bestow. Disclaiming any irreverence or desire to coin a euphemism, it is our conviction that as an expression of common sense, appli- cable to everyday living, as well as a composition replete with humani- tarianism and charity for humon foi- bles, Governor Hunts address of yes terday more closely approaches that sermon uttered from the Mount by the greatest philosopher and seer that has ever lived and died than has any other message from a governor in this nation.
 Few things that are essential to Ari- zona's immediate need were left un- mentioned.

The message of Governor Hunt is statesman-like documnet, and con- tains many recomm endations that the legislature will, without doubt take ad- vantage of, and give them place on the statute books of the state. The governor is business man of many years experience. He also has had many years of experience in the legis- lature of Arizona, and is splendidly equipped to deal with all matters per taining to the new state
 Arizona is in crying need of legisla- tion that will increase it's revenues without crippling it's industries or inn posing extra burdens upon the men who are now the mainstay of our state. The farmers and workingme en of Arizona are now taxed to their Him. it and the increased revenues neces- sary to maintain this state govern ment must be secured from other sources. How best accomplish this result is a matter for our governor and the legislature, and we feel that Governor Hunt will advise a way that will be equitable and just to all con- cerned.
 The Democrat takes pleasure in commenting the Governors splendid message to Arizona's first state legis- lature' and to the people of this state.

Tombstone Prospector.

The first state message of Gov Hunt is a masterpiece of literary worth which might we'll be read by every citizen of Arizona with pardon able pride in that Arizona's chief exec utive is indeed reflecting the glory, progressiveness and patriotism of the youngest state in her debut into soci- ety of sister commonwealths The message teens with sound logic and able executive advice marked by lofty yet practical motives of workable standards of corrective reform and progressive constitutional measures. None can read the message but have a higher and nobler regard for the gov ernor and his sincere desire to tad vance Arizona's greatness that she shine respendant in every department of official service, civic progress and industrial development

The Arizona legislature convened Monday. The Hunt forces organized the house, and boosted Lynch, the Graham candidate for speaker, out of the window, and elected Bradner, the Benson switchman, to preside over the house. The governors message was little longer than the consti- tuition, and he declared that the Ari- zona officers were elected for one year only. He had enough good ad- vice for four legislatures.

Globe. Silver Belt.

Governor Hunts message to the leg 1slature was published in full in yes terday's issue of the Silver Belt. Be- cause of it's great length few, even of the governors friends and admirers have had the time and opportunity to make a careful digest of it. There is some criticism being offered because as governor of the state he was unable to assume the position as representa- tive of the whole people instead of the position of assuming mere leader ship of party.
 Considerable comment is being made as to the matter of the idea of the appointment of a mine inspector subject to rigid examination rather than an election of such an official Genuine democracy of course insists that the best interests of the people be conserved through an election in- stead of an appointment. The Silver Belt congratulates Governor Hunt on his endorsement of the short ballot The Silver Belt has for some time been steadily advocating reforms in this direction. The old ballot system is responsible for a great deal of the confusion now existing in the admin stration of our government. Place in power able competent men. Give them the necessary authority and responsi- bility. If they fail or prove unfit re- call them from office. Governor Hunt failed to give a direct endorsement of women suffrage. At this point we be- lleve he lost an opportunity for advan- cing the general welfare of our new state. It is to be hoped the legisla- ture will pass the laws necessary to enfranchise the women of Arizona thereby promoting the material inter- ests of the people of the entire south west
