vast influence for good, but to unite forces with the general public in the upbuilding of the State. It must inevitably sub stitute progress for retrogres- sion and manifest toward the people such confidence and square dealing as it has a right to expect in return. Under such a dispensation. organized wealth ceases to become a menace, assumes it's proper place as a friendly ally of the general vel fare. and would undoubtedly find the people suddenly become friendly. instead of antagonistic.
 In concluding this post-elec- tion statement to the people of Arizona, who have highly honored me, I venture the ar dent hope that the greatest possible harmony and co-opera- ton may characterize all depart ments of the State during the next two years, and that when the services of the new ad- ministrhtion shall have been concluded, the public may be pleasantly conscious of further marked advancement toward an ideal government.
 For the fulfilment of such an ideal 1 pledge my utmost energy and effort, hoping for no other reward than the maintenance of a government in which every citizen. whether he wears oyer alls or broadcloth. may have such an equitable share as will insure an era of supreme happi- ness and prosperity for Arizona's people.
 With sincerity and gratitude,

 Thanks to the People
To the people of Arizona:

Never in my life---either in days of darkest adversity or radient hours of triumph---have I been so profoundly conscious of my debt to my fellowmen as when, in the unofficial returns from the General election, read the eIectorate's decree by which by which justice and progress have been overwhelmingly sus- tained. and from which 1 have derived the supreme honor of being elected as the States Chief Executive for another two years. At such time 1 am keen ly aware of the deficiency of words as a medium of expression and of their inedequacy of words as a medium of expression, and of their inedequacy to convey such a sense of gratitude and enhanced responsibility as results from the realization that my foIlow-citizens have again con- ferred upon me one of the greatest honors and rewards within their gift. 1 shall, of necessity, therefore, have to content myself Tn this hour of victory with reiterating my loyalty to the people of my state, and with the assurance that the best of my ability, energy and judgment will be freely given in fulfilment of my duty to the pnblic which I serve. More than than this no man can do. and by no more impressive means can one hope to express his gratitude, sincerity of motive and earnestness of pur- pose. From thls all too imper- feet and faulty assurance may my many supporters throughout the State divine. in some degree, the depth of my appreciation.
 But while I am very much g -atified with the outcome ot the rec mt election. viewed as a whole, I feel it my duty, never the.ess. to express my great re- gret at the evidence that certain powerful interests in this State have seemingly decided adverse ly by their vote on certain humane and constructive measures leading to a better g vel nnent and 6 higher citizen snip. Especially is this insidlous corporate influence apparent in the returns received on the abolition of capital punishment from certain precincts which are currently reported to be

under the domination of special
 interests antagonistic to the
 present State Administration.
 The vote indicates to the most
 casual observer that influence
 from "higher np". rather than
 the untrammelled will of the people, determined the fate of an issue commensurate with true humanity and civilization. It is natural, therefore, that 1 should deeply deplore the fact that the hostility of certain interests to- ward me personally should have been deferred in Arizona.
 The unhappy spectacle afford ed by a few arrogant corpor- ations in showing themselves so eager to retain penalty which seldom overtakes the rich man, but which falls with frequency upon the poor, may be left, without further comment, to the judgment of the electorate con stituting the highest public tribunal.
 Notwithstanding, nevertheless the attacks of certain powerful interests during the past two years, 1 do not find in my heart today any vestige of rancor or animosity toward those elements which are blinded by thelr own malevolence toward such pre- cepts and institutions as are designed to secure equal justice for rich and poor alike. and to elevate all mankind by the bene- ficence which they bestow.
 It is. likewise, to be hoped that the victory of the people may not be tinctured with any needless resentment toward those interests which have. apparently, during the campaign recently concluded, expended much effort in confounding public issues, and in attempting to wresc the balance of power from the people in whose hands it rightfulIy belongs. May we rather show a disposition to con- done the occurrences of the past while anticipating for the future a more harmonious relationship between capital and labor re- garded as two seperate and essential factors in modern civilization. Such condonement, however, does not sugge st any leniency toward those deplorable methods whereby public servants have in the past been rendered subservient to others than their constituents. and hy means of which the functions of legislation and government have been perverted to selfish ends,

The man under suspicion refused to
give his name when asked by news

trial for mere pastime.
Nels Nelson of Moline, examined by
the defense, said he had been en-
ployed for the last ten or eleven
months as a weather stripper by
George W. Heider, a former sheriff of
Rock Island county. Nelson gave as
surance he had not heard his employer
give an established opinion regard

present sheriff. and, moreover, 1t
would be no difference as to the open
ness of his own mind.

The opposing counsels in the course
Of their examinations were eager to
secure the expression of the prospective
| jurors on certain established points OF
law before passing on their desirable
ity of acting in such a case as this
one will be. based largely on circum
stantial evidence.
CircumstantiaI Evidence.
Have you a prejudice on returning
a verdict on circumstantial evidence?''
was invariably asked by Prosecutor
Wood, after both himself and the court
had attempted a clear explanation of
the distinction between direct and
circumstantial evidence in a criminal
proceedings.
Attorney Kenworthy, who is con-
duc-ing the examination for the de-
tense, made efforts to get statements
from the witnesses on the old RUE
that every man is innocent until he
has been proven guilty beyond all rea-
sonable doubt.
10 you DSlleVe tnat II Is necessary
for the preservation of human liberty
that this rule should appertain?" is
sample question he put.
After the four first jurors had been
accepted the state accepted two 9TH
ers, A. T. Kelso, carpenter of Mo-
line, and Nels Nelson, also of Moline.
The defense did not have the oppor-
tunity before court adjourned to ex-
anime them and commenced at that
point this morning. Two others were
dismissed, w. J. Kennedy, barber of
Moline, for cause, as he asserted his
friendship for Bruner and had assist
ed him in his political campaigns. and
A. f. Shalline, a Rock Island insur-
ance agent, peremptorily.
A total of 20 peremptory dismissal,
