The action of the aged man of
Prescott voices the sentiment of
many a pioneer of this section.
Regardless of political affilla-
tions people generally believe
that Tom Campbell was fairly
elected and that the contest of
Gov. Hunt was instigated solely
as a last effort to perpetuate
himself in office. Having be-
come brazen in his disregard
of many of the state laws that
he was sworn to enforce, the
governor now has the effrontery
to attempt to ride over t h e
heads of the electors and set
himself up as dictator. In
this he is supported by a power
full political machine with all
the money and influence neces-
sary to carry on a protracted
contest calculated to break down
and wear out his opponent, and
the choice of the people, if moth
ing more.
His action in filing separate
contests in several of the coun-
ties of the state alleging fraud
and corruption are calculated to
hinder and delay the main one
being tried at Phoenix. Such
highhanded methods will be re-
membered by the fair-minded
people of the state even after

Don't You Get 1t. Governor?

(From the Prescott Journal
Miner.) An aged man whose
face showed that he had en-
countered many hardships and
faced them bravely, was one of
the Journal-Miner's early visit
ors yesterday. Il learned how
to fight for my rights years ago;
Pm not too old to fight for them
STILL" he said. i've got $4
but | want to turn two of them
over to the Campbell Defense
Fund" And he did.
E. S. Clark, who has just re-
turned from Kingman, reported
that there waa a general feel
ing of regret among the demo-
Gratis he net because Gov. Hunt
had initiated his contest of the
election. Somehow or other, "
Mr.. Clark said. it seems to me
that Mr.. Hunt might have realized
that the people were inviting
him to stay at home. There was
no question as to the fact that
his own party elected Mr.. Camp
bell and, as | understand, his
friends do not question the fact
that Mr.. Campbell received the
most votes, their hopes resting
on the possibility of disfran-
chising a number of democrats
who voted for Mr.. Campbell.
1t is very doubtful if they can
do this. 1t certainly will be a
serious misfortune if they sue
ceed."

The Verdict Of 1914.

By majority of 1851 the people of
the District plainly indicated in Novem-
Der. 1914. that they approved of the
course of their Representative, the late
William G. Brown in aiding the Presi-
dent toward carrying out his program
OF legislation. They reasoned truly that
when the righteous are in authority.
lhr people rejoice" So in no uncertain
terms hey returned Mr.. Brown to Con-
gress. 1t was vote of confidence in
the President and vote of confidence
in MIR. Brown. 1t was an attession of
their full approval of the President s
wisdom in avoiding foreign entangle-
ments. How much more necessary it
is now to uphold President Wilson IN
his efforts to not only preserve peace
but to maintain inviolate for the pro-
lection of non-belligerents those broad
principles of international law based
upon human rights. When human
rights and property rights clash, then
human rights must be maintained. as
the President has sought to maintain
them and as the District commissioned
Junior Brown to maintain them If a
change is to be made now. then the pso-
pie of the District will place them
selves in the position of saying that hui
man rights should be disregarded, even
their own. The. electorate of the Dis
trict can hardly afford at this time to
SO completely reverse their verdict of
1914.

Service His Slogan.

If there is one thing more than any
other Samuel v. Woods. the candidate
for Congress in this District has en-
phasized, it IS his intention to tender to
the people of the district that public
service which gives close and careful
attention TO demands made upon him,
even to the smallest service, so that the
people of the District may feel with
satisfaction that there is a man speak
ing and acting for them day after day
at Washington, whose sole aim will be
to care for the interests of his people
and their welfare, as well as for that of
the nation as a whole. Every request,
ever letter, wilIreceive his puctilius at
tention. He will never be too busy to
see his people and ascertain their wishes
and desires. Can the people of the Dis.
trict be so sure that Mr. Woods oppo.
nent will render such complete service!

with Samuel V. Woods as candidate.
to continue in Congress a representa-
tion in which the District may feel just
pride. Samuel V. Woods ability is of
such an order that the District will
never at any time have any occasion to
be ashamed, so that the old Second will
still be able to maintain its place and
at the same time be factor in nation
al affairs as it was during the long and
useful service of William l.. Wilson,
Junior Brown and others. The District
should demand ability as the criterion
by which it will measure Candidates
and there are none to question the abil-
ity and the legislative experience of
Senator Woods who made one of the
fairest and ablest presiding officers the
Senate of West Virginia ever had.
