The republicans of Arizona
will have no apologies to make
to the people in offering Thos.
E. Campbell as their choice for
governor at the elections this
fall. He is a native son, enured
to all the hardship of the early
pioneer days, riding the range
and working in the mines to help
contribute to the family support,
and knows by the experience of
hard knocks" what this state
needs for it's greater development
and the prosperity of it's citizens
generally. His record is an open
book, with nothing to conceal
from the days of his struggling
boyhood through to the present
day when he stands before the
people as a candidate for the
highest office in the state.

Friday, September 8, 1916.

The proper time for the voter
to do his 'regretting" is before
he does his voting at the primary.
Look up the character and re-
putation Of every candidate be-
fore you decide how to cast you
vote, and the candidate that fails
to measure up to your standard
as to character and qualifications
should be turned down. This
suggestion applies to all political
parties, and if the voter would
exercise a little more judgment
instead of voting blindly at some
ones behest the character of
men that will be the candidates
will be of a higher order, and it
will not be necessary to be
apologizing for the mistakes of
the party.

Hughes Friend of Labor.

When Charles Evens Hughes
left the governors chair in New
York to accept his appointment
as justice of the supreme court,
the Legislative News, the official
organ of the New York Fedora
tion of Labor, commented editor
tally as follows:
Now that Gov. Hughes has
retired from politics and ascend
ed to a place on the highest judi
cial tribunal in the world, the
fact can be acknowledged with
out hurting anybody's political
corns that he was the greatest
friend of labor laws that ever
occupied the Governors chair at
Albany. During his two terms
he has signed ffty-six labor laws,
including among them the best
labor laws ever enacted in this
or any state.
He also urged the enactment
of labor laws in his messages to
the Legislature, even going so
far as to place the demand for a
labor law in one of his messages
to an extra session of the Legis-
lature.
Only 1872 labor laws have
been enacted in this state since
it's erection in 1777-in 1873 years.
One-third of these, exceeding in
quality all of the others, have
been enacted and signed during
Gov. Hughes term of three years
and nine months. J."

The rumor was started around
town last Saturday morning, evil
IDENTIFY for political purposes, that
Sheriff Newman was swearing
in as deputies a lot of Mexicans
and imported strike breakers.
A little investigation discloses
that the only deputies sworn in
by the Sheriff were three citizens
of Winslow- Messrs. Gardner,
Trammel and Bostwick, and
they were assigned to duty at
the bridge two miles east of
town. Two weeks ago, in dis
cussing the matter of deputies
with j. F. Mahoney, Mr.. New
man declared his policy in the
event of a strike that only boni-
tide residents of Navajo county
would be appointed, and that
their authority would not extend
beyond the right of way of the
railroad company. With Mr..
Newman a candidate for re-
election it is naturally to be ex-
pected no opportunity will be
overlooked by the opposition to
discredit him, but his position
clearly defined weeks in advance
leaves no room for criticism.

Judge Lockwood, of Cochise
county, is holding that a copy of
a federal liquor license held by
a defendant in a boot-legging
case, is proper evidence to come
before jury. Perhaps it would
help some if a transcript was had
of the register of Internal Re-
venue collector showing who are
holding government licenses in
this county.

Senator Ashurst can hardly
hope to be reelected on his
ability to secure public buildings
for his constituency. He may
be the gifted orator, and electrify
the senate with his brilliancy,
but while he is talking the other
senators are running away with
the appropriations for their state.
Take look at the record of
Senator Warren of Wyoming.
He has passed bills appropriate
ing $65, 5000 for a postoffice at
Thermopolis, town of 1900
population, S67,00 for postof-
flee at Newcastle, a town of 1000
population, and $4,000 for a
postoffice at Sundance, an inland
town of 400 population. If Sena.
tor Ashurst would only reduce his
oratory to the minimum, and
crowd on more power for real
work for his constituency per-
haps Arizona might get a few
public buildings where they are
SO badly needed at places like
Flagstaff and WinsloW. Arizona
needs a working senator if it
expects results, and not an orator
to win idle plaudits.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Political announcements of the
candidates for state, county and
precinct offices before the pri-
mary will be published as adver-
tisements under this heading,
but the appearance of the names
of candidates in no wise carries
with it any endorsement of the
WinsloW Mail as favorable to
their candidacy.
The Winslow mail., 1916-09-08

1t is expected Congress will
make a final adjournment this
week, which will give the solons
a few days in which to look af-
ter their political fences before
the primary, and in the event
they are successful they can
have a few months to do some
campaigning. The country will
be better off if a lot of them are
retained at home, as their records
will show they have not been
earning their salaries. No pri-
vate business would retain an
employe who was not energetic
enough to earn his salary, and
why should the people keep q
dead one. Public officials are
supposed to work for their
constituents, but too many OF
them think the job is private
graft, conferred as the represen.
tative of their particular political

Wilson as Friend of Labor

We are hearing considerable
about Mr.. Wilson being the real
friend of labor, but barking back
to other days his writings and
speeches hardly support the claim
of his sponsors. In Mr.. Wilson's
History of the American Peo-
ple"- he says: "The Chinese are
more to be desired as workmen,
if not as citizens, than most Of
the coarse crew that came crowd
ing in every year at the eastern
ports. ;"
Again on March 18, 1907, Mr..
Wilson said: I'VE speak too ex-
clusively of the capitalistic class.
There is another as formidable
an enemy to equality and oppor-
tunity as it is, and that is the
class formed by the labor organ
izations and leaders of the coun-
try"
And on June 8, 1909, in an ad-
dress to the graduating class at
Princeton university, Mr.. Will
son voiced these sentiments to
his hearers: You know what
the usual standard of the en-
ploye is in our day. 1t is to give
as little as he may for his
wages.
We publish these excepts for
the benefit of any republican
who is thinking of stampeding to
Wilson as the friend and cham
pion of labor. Don't get hyster-
ical. 1t is two months until cleo
tion day, and ponder these mat
ters in your deliberate moments
before permitting yourself to be
led into the democratic camp.

Poor old Los Angeles! Her
mayor, elected by a lot of long
haired sentimentalist, had to re-
sign his office last week to ap-
pease the wrath of his constitu-
ency. Prior to his nomination
his name was connected with a
maloroorous affair, and a few
days before election he staged a
fake assassination. The gullible
fell for the ruse, and he was
elected. When the people recov-
cred from their hysteria they
saw their sad mistake in elevat-
ing such a character to the head
of the city government, and they
have been working ever since to
get rid of him. When will peo-
pie learn that sentimental hys-
terra is not safe impulse. to fol-
low in selecting public officials?

The good people of Winslow,
the people who believe in a strict
enforcement of the law for a
clean and better city, will make
no mistake when they vote to
nominate Mr.. w. F. Brewer for
justice of the peace. AS it's
nominee, Mr.. Brewer will be a
credit to the republican party of
Winslow. Mr.. Brewer has re-
sided here a number of years
engaged in the jewelry business,
and this is his maiden effort as
candidate for office.
