 Judge Otis J. Baughn. republican candidate for supreme justice, who lives here, was accorded the greatest recep- ton ever given a candidate in this city. Judge Baughn is easily the most pop ular man in Pinal county. Ever since his arrival early this morning he has been surrounded by scores of his fel- low townsfolk, who are all his staunch supporters. Judge Baughn told his neighbors of the necessity of making the higher judiciary strictly non- par tisan. But this argument wasn't need ed here. Pinal county people have watched him on the bench and in daily life for the past seven years and they know him to be a man of honesty and integrity and a jurist of exceptional ability who is square and sincere

Arizona republican., 1916-10-14

Before an audience that filled every chair in the big courtroom at Florence, Judge Kibbey, the other night, ad- dressed Pinal county voters in behalf of his candidacy for the United States senate. His original research work on the problems of irrigation were con- ducted in Florence more than 2S years ago, his decisions on the bench and his writings as counsel for water users have fixed the practice of irrigation law for the entire west, and naturally a community of water users was in tensely interested in what he had to say
 Last week here in Phoenix Judge Kibbey opened a new line of cam paigning when he addressed an i'm mense crowd on the Y. M. c. A. Stad- ium and told it about some of the things the water users need, and which they cannot get without legislation. The charge is made that pledges of aid for the water users in carrying the burdens of opening up new country and making it fruitful, have not been kept by democratic senators from Ari- zona In the near future the reclama- ton projects of Arizona and the pri- vately controlled ones will be in a new
  keen need of a practiced mind in the senate. The question is frequently asked, What is to be done for the farmers 2"
 Judge Kibbey has an appeal to make to every citizen of Arizona. His rec ord shows that he is capable of han ding problems affecting every class of industrial and agricultural workers in the state, so his appeal is directed at no class exclusively
 Judge Kibbey told Florence some strong reasons why he is entitled to their votes in the coming election, not as reward for past services, but that he may do many more things for the people of this state.
 He promised that he would spend his time at Washington in the com mittee rooms where the real work is accomplished. He will not attempt to surpass the oratorical record of his opponent. He frankly says he is no orator. He has been too busy during his long career to devote any tirhe to the study and practice of oratory. He has always been a worker.
 That he completely captured Flor ence was manifest by the enthusiastic manner in which he was greeted by ] nearly all of his listeners after the meeting. Hundreds of them pledged : their support to the man who will work for them rather than talk for himself
