Lieut.-Gov. O'Hara of Hi nois on His First Visit to Phoenix Finds Many Objects of Admiration

| We have to make the western
 spirit the national spirit"
 That is the way Arizona, which he conceded the jewel state of the
 union,' impressed Lieutenant Cover
 nor Barrett O'Hara of Illinois on his
 first day here.
 Accompanied by Mrs. OHara he arrived yesterday morning from the
 coast and was met at the station by Governor Hunt and deputation of Spanish American war veterans
 After breakfasting at the Adams as
 the guest of the latter, the lieutenant lsovernOr and his wife took advantage
 of the glorious day" to ride to Glen
 dale. Both are excellent riders and
 enjoyed the brisk canter to the home
 of MT. O'Hara's sister, Mrs. B. H.
 Yaeger. where they passed several
 hours.
 Last night the distinguished citizen
 was the guest of honor at brilliant
 and largely attended reception given
 by the Spanish War Veterans at
 Moose Home l T like the vest said MT. O'Hara.
 but best of all I like the people.
 admire the red -blooded men and
 women who throw their heads back
 and say exactly what they think. It 1 is progressive thought such as they
 express that is attracting the atten-
 tion of the nation. The boosting
 spirit of the western country is what ! is needed throughout the land" An era of prosperity is dawning, !according to MT. O'Hara, who be- 1 lieves the wave of depression that
 enveloped the east and middle west
 last year has passed.
 | Within the next sixty days will
 eXperience unparalleled prosperity"
 he predicted. T hope to see indus
 trial conditions so regulated that all
 twill share in the new prosperity and
 that there will be a better under
 standing between those who work for ! a wage and those who pay the wage" 1 Both Mir and Mrs. O'Hara regret
 their limited time in the west will not
 permit them to go to Clifton to make
 "an industrial study" They were dis lappointed too in the absence from town of the governor, whom they saw
 but a few moments before his depar- | ture yesterday.
 l Governor Hunts attitude on capi-
 tai punishment is approved by the Illinois official who believes it is in accord with the spirit of justice and human rights" The Arizona goVer- lnor's influence was felt when the question was being agitated in Hi lnois, he declared. He believes there lis a growth of sentiment in favor of the measure although it met defeat | in the last Illinois legislature. 1 The lieutenant governor is an ar dent and enthusiastic admirer of the tcompromiser, the man of the Henry lClay type, rather than the extremist, lalthough he believes the leader of movement in the period of agitation does a great deal of good.
 | In speaking of the coming presiden- tial campaign. he said. Without ques- Ition MT Wilson will be renominated land reelected. His dignified and de- ltermined stand, his foreign policy, consider without parallel in the his ltory of the republic, as it had to do with European nations, but l am not entirely in sympathy with his MeXl- can policy All of Mexico should be under the authority of this country War would be unnecessary mere IS l no government in Mexico any more Ithan there was on the western plalhS | when inhabited by rowing Indians AL lthis particular time in my JudSineh' peaceful annexation of Lower Calllor nia is something Tn Whlch we " would unite-those who want Ped at any price, those who preach naredness a nd those who actually want war After the European con rlic+ there will be demands from eV- lovervwhere for indemnities that can only be met by the United States.
