 After a thorough investigation of
 Iis merits the editor of the Glendale | News. in a recent issue of that paper | ives an unqualified endorsement of he candidacy of George Olney 10, :overnor of Arizona Before commit | ing himself he took the precaution.
 advocated by Benjamin Franklin, be | ure you are right and then go a head" and convince him of the cor 1 ,ectness fthe position taken, he | give sthe candidacy a stron gendorse- | nent.
 "Maricopa county has been very | 1uch interested in the anno1ncement l If George A. Olney that he would 1 e a candidate for governor of the state of Arizona, in the Democratic primaries in opposition to the candi dacy of the present incumbent, Geo. Hunt.
 ''The News takes this opportunity of expressing its unqualified appro- val of MT. Olney's candidacy. He seems to have all of the qualities that should be possessed by the ideal can i didate for the governor of a state such as this. Being of independent ! means he is naturally beyond the reach of an mercenary motive. Prac- tically his entire life ,excep. the early part of 1t spent in Texas as boy, { has been lived in Arizona. He has served his former home county (Gra ham) as a peace officer and later as a mmeber of the Board of Supervis ors, and has been identified in an ac tive way in the building up of all inn dustries that have contributed to make that section of the state prosperous. He has been a cowboy, 8 farmer, mer chant and capitalist.
 ] AS a member of the Board of Su- pervisors of Graham county. his ab- solute insistence that the mining cor porations should pay their proper of taxes as a radical step, which brought upon him, perhaps this dis approval of those who had to pay, but endeared him to the farmers, cattle

 First and foremost MT. Olney has always been a taxpayer in the state of Arizona and today is perhaps one If the largest individual taxpayers in the state and his interest is bound up with that O fhis fellow citizens who feel the responsibility attached 10 the proper government of the state.
 . MT Olney has been resident of ,Maricopa county for several years. and before and after his arrival as one of our local citizens he invested | heavily in Maricopa county lands, and gave various institutions in the coun- y the aid 0 fhis name and money
 We people of the northern end of the Satl River valley feel a partic- 2ular kinship, if We may, thus use ne term or Mir Olney, in that he is he owner of large acreage here, and is our neighbor. All of his invest
 nents have been improved, and his properties are all the better for his having owned them.
 If there is any man in the state who can give this commonwealth a sane, conservative, business Hike ad- ministration without fear or favor and without prejudiace for or against any class of citizens or property in the state,it is George Olney. There | is nothing of the ambitious, political office-seeker found in his makeup.
 Personally, he is quiet anG unas
 5uming but determined. No one could rake the success he has in private life unless they possessed all Of these qualities. He has not been afraid to
 ake his business destiny along with that of his neighbors
 Tt is time that the state of. Arizo- na as whole and the citizenship and the prosperity of it's people should be considered by the voters in opposition to the welfare and ad vancement of the jolitical ambitions O fany one person or class of per sons. This can only be brought about by placing in the executive chair man who is beholden to no class in
