A FAITHFUL SERVANT

The democrats of Graham coun-
ty should not forget their good
friend, Congressman Carl Hay
den, who is a candidate for the
denomination for representative
in Congress.
Owing to the fact that Con-
gress is still in session and that
Mr.. Hayden considers that the
interests of his constituents de-
mands his attendance in Wash
ington, at this time, particularly,
when SO much legislation of great
vital Importance to the nation is
before our national Congress, he
will not be able to come home
and visit the people in behalf OF
his candidacy.
It is not necessary to tell the
democracy of Graham county
that Carl Hayden has been o
good, honest and hard-working
public servant. Always ready
and willing to do his full duty to
the best of his ability for the
people of Arizona and the nation.
Mr.. Hayden cannot come home
and greet you, as he would like
to do, but the fact that he is
working for our interests and al
ways on the job should keep him
green in our memory, lest we
forget that we owe him our full
allegiance and support at the
coming primary election.
There never has been doubt
as to where Mr.. Hayden stood
on any legislation that was bene-
fetal to the State or his country.
He has assisted in formulating
every measure that has been
proposed by our democratic ad-
ministration in the interest of
people.
The people Of Graham county
have always found Congressman
Hayden a good friend in time of
need and he has never failed
them.
Unable to leave his work, your
work, we feel we must urge the
democracy of Graham county not
to fail to recognize his grand
record in Congress and do our
utmost in helping him to secure
the democratic nomination for
representative in Congress and
insure his reelection in Novem-
ber, Ia.

OUR ATTORNEY GENERAL

Among the list of candidates
for State Offices there are none
more deserving and qualified
than Wiley E. Jones from this
county, who is a candidate for
denomination for Attorney Gen.
eral.
Mr.. Jones is a past master at
campaigning and his re-nomina-
ton is practically assured. He
has three opponents, all of whom
are new comers in the State and
in the past campaigns their voices
have not been raised in the in
terest of democracy; while Mr..
Jones voice was heard against
joint Statehood and in the first
State campaign he stumped the
entire State at his own expense.
In 1912 as a candidate for presi-
Dental elector he again stumped
the State; in the 1914 campaign
his 'eloquence on the stump was
a great asset to democratic ticket,
'and this year his services will-be
needed more than before in the
coming campaign.
After his election in 1914 he
enforced the laws of the State to
the strict letter. He went to Los
Angeles and won the prohibition
amendment before three Federal
judges when the constitutionality
of that law was attacked, and he
also put near beer out Of the
State. He stood for the law re-
lative to State farm loans at 6
per cent, against the combined
opposition of the big money
lenders.
His record as Attorney General
will stand as a monument to his
memory. Every democrat in
Graham county should vote for
Wiley E. Jones, Democracy's
Champion.
