What Governor kibbev Did

No higher testimonial to the courage, wisdom and humanity of Judge Joseph H. Kibbey be offered than the following from the Douglas Dispatch. is not a campaign document but matter of record, known to those who lived along the border years We contrast the conduct Governor bey with the halting, cowardly shifting Wilson administration in dealing with similar though larger emergency:

 From darkness of that day until June g. Amer jeans at that place in desperate straits. They had no arms, and about four thousand men, women and children were at the mercy of half intoxicated mob of 5000 Mexcans bent their destruction. It is surpusage to detail this, for the Cananea riots have not yet been forgotten. It is the of the way in which those Americans given relief, with the present policy of non protection of lives of imperiled United States citizens that makes reference to the dsquiet the Sonora copper camp that time of peculiar interest
 When news of the plight of the Americans at Cananea reached Bsbee 600 men volunteered to rush to the assistance of their beleaguered countrymen Tom Rynning captain of the Arizona rangers that time, and being in Bisbee asked lead these volunteers into Mexico.

Kibbey did hesitate minute; his decision instantaneous. and the expedition under Rynning accomplished it's purpose.
 Kibbey in offering himself to the people of the state candidate for the United States senatorship does not have tell what he would advocate the of protecting the rights and property of Ameri citizens in Mexico anywhere else His record is matter of history and cannot be assailed. What more fitting man could Arizona send to Washington in these days of puny Americanism help the nation to it's place in the sunshine of honor than Joseph H. Kibbey? Surely he exemplifies the type that puts deeds above words. Cochse county, ia miliar with Kibbeys firm stand when the Cananea crisis famed red against her borders will be like
