A FEW FACTS Stalie for Constable

I wish to call to the attention of the voters of this community that I have had previous experience as an officer in Cochise and Graham counties and assure the people that if elected I will enforce the laws to the best of my ability regardless of who may be con cerned be he high or low, rich or poor and regardless of nationality. My record will show, if investigated. that or favor.
 Some criticism has been made re- garding my incorporate habits. 1 have realized this fact, and have resolved to lead an absolutely temperate life. My every effort will be given to the sup port and enforcement of the dry amendment. I hope that the people of this community will grant me the privilege and opportunity to show that I CAN and WILL make good. | will maintain a department in daily life that will be free from intemperance and will discharge my duties as an officer and citizen in a manner that
 
 munity or myself
 If given the opportunity 1 will also attend to the duties of Humane Officer and will do all in my power to bring | to justice parties who persist in the abuse and ill-treatment of their stock, condition that is apparently being overlooked in Tempe at present.
 1 believe in averting trouble in it's | infancy and will give my promptest l attention to matters in an effort to quell trouble at it's start. l also be- lieve that the time of an officer should be shared with the different localities of his precinct rather than devoted | just to the business center of town.
 My interests are centered in Tempe and it is my purpose to continue my residence here where my children may be afforded the advantage of Tempe s excellent schools.

ANSWER
Of Whisky Trust to Candidacy
of Indiana Man
For u. s. Senator Seen When They
Meet and Raise SI5O,OOO
for Campaign Fund.

Arthur Robinson, of Indianapolis who
is one Of the candidates for the United
States senatorship from Indiana, is a
fearless assailant of the liquor traffic. He
has pledged himself to vote for nation
wide prohibition, if elected, and believes
that the liquor question is the paramount
issue in American politics at the time
In an address at Muncie a few days ago
he said among other things:
Some weeks ago l declared publicly
that I would vote and fight for the ex-
termination of the damnable liquor traf-
hc, if you send me to the United States
senate. Immediately l had the answer
from the whisky trust. The liquor deal
ers of Indiana met in Indianapolis behind
closed doors and voted S150,000 as a cam
paign fund to be used i'm Indiana. For
whom is this enormous sum to be used?

spent? Whose votes will 1t buy? Who

of the intolerable evils by the wayside
