Following the judgment Of
Schumann-Heink, two or three
seasons ago, that Mrs. Norton
was destined for a stellar career,
the young woman appeared in a
number of notable musical pro-
grams in Los Angeles and the
impression from her appearances
only confirmed in popular estima-
ton Schumann-Heink's estimate
of her protege's musical worth.
However, and despite insistent
subsequent urging of the diva,
Mrs. Norton was strengthened
in her conviction that her future
professional career lay rather in
cooperation toward making mu-
sic popular, in it's intrinsic worth,
with the masses of people.

CANDIDATES COMPARED

Such a comparison leads to the
conclusion that Mr. Wilson is far
and away Mr.. Hughes superior in
that control" of the legislative
branch which comes from personal
experience and actual achievement.
Mr.. Hughes, when governor of
New York, was much Of the time
in bitter conflict with his party in
the legislature. and at no one ses-
sion did he make the record in
legislative matters which Governor
Wilson did in New Jersey. AS
president, Mr.. Wilson'S record has
been exceptional. We have some
idea of what Mr.. Wilson could ac-
complsh with democratic congress
were he to be reelected. We have
very little idea of what Mr.. Hughes
could accomplish. Mr.. Hughes is a
very able man, but his recent train
ing has been that of judge, and
President Taft's experience did not
indicate that a man trained as a
Judge is at his best in getting re-
suits out of legislative body

Olney Inspires Confidence

Mr.. Olney's candidacy for gov
ernor is gaining in popularity in
all parts of the State. Governor
Hunt may or may not be the best
governor Arizona has ever had;
but his assumption, as indicated
in his announcement Of his can
didacy for reelection to a third
term, that his election is neces-
sary for the well-being of the
State, is strongly resented by a
great majority of the democrats
throughout Arizona, who posi-
lively do not believe that he is
the only man in the party capa-
BILE of administering the affairs
of the governors office. In fact,
there is a rapidly developing
sentiment that in Mr.. Olney we
would have a governor before
whom all classes and interests
could appear with more absolute
confidence that even handed JUS
tice would be accorded to all. -

Olney's Popularity

Geo. A. Olney's popularity as
a man and a citizen is not only
with democrats, but with republi-
cans as we'll. When Mr.. Olney
has held public position, he has
always been impartial in the dis
charge of public duty. Reports
come from Maricopa county that
hundreds of republicans are reg
istering this year as democrats
with the avowed purpose of vot-
ing for Mr.. Olney in the primary
as well as in the general election.
With George Olney as the demo-
cratic candidate for governor,
Arizona can be put down as sure
for the entire democratic ticket
by not less than 5000 majority.

Olney Has a Clear Record

In the columns of the News

George A. Olney as a candidate
for the office of governor on the
democratic ticket. Mr.. Olney
appears to have a clear record as
a business man and politician
and has been instrumental in
having a number of laws passed
which have been very beneficial
to the people as a whole. Mr..
Olney's home is in Phoenix, but
he has lived most of the time

held the office of sheriff of that
county and was twice elected to
the office of supervisor. He was

You will notice in this week. S
issue the announcement and plat
form of Geo. A. Olney, candidate
for the nomination of governor

Olney is campaigning the State
pretty thoroughly, and using the
newspapers universally to get to

Lining Up Strong for Olney

A letter from one of the promi-
nent democrats of the State,
who was prominent in the con-
stitutional convention, writes
from Phoenix to say that Mari
copa county is lining up stronger
for Geo. A. Olney for governor
as the days go by. He expresses
the greatest confidence in the
ability of Mr.. Olney to win the
democratic nomination. In north
ern Arizona he is receiving as
surance that he will come down
from that section of the State
well in the lead of his opponent.
Southern Arizona, including Mari,
copa, should give Olney at
least 5000. Mr.. Olney is max,

Brings Forth Many Endorse
ments by Leading State
Newspapers
SPLENDID PUBLIC RECORD
Appeals to People of Every Class
for the Favorite Democratic
Nominee

The popularit yof the candidacy
of George Olney, for governor
of Arizona, is amply attested by
the favorable mention with which
it has been received throughout
the State by the newspapers.
Opposition to the continuance of
one man in office, is given by
some as a good and sufficient rea-
son why the present occupant OF
the position should not be elected
again for a fourth term, as he
will have served three statutory
terms at the expiration of his
present term. He was first cleo
ted for a short term under the
provisions of the enabling act and
then under a decision of the Su-
preme Court was given second
term without election, and again
in 1914 elected for a third term,
and now appeals to the voters
for a fourth term for the reason,
as he expresses it, that the State
cannot get along without his
services.
But in addition to this objection
good and sufficient business rea-
sons are also found why he should
not be given a fourth term, and
the universal cry is heard that
taxes are entirely too high and
no prospect of reduction, with
the continuance in Office of the
incumbent. From a multiplicity
of notices in the papers of the
State, a few are herewith selected
as samples of the universal de-
mand for a change and also show
ing the general popularity of Mr..
Olney:

fore the primaries. We have no
personal acquaintances with Mr..

all the democratic papers in the

view of the bitter fight going on
in the democratic ranks over the
gubernational nomination, and
the further fact that Mr.. Olney
has been in public life for some
