Arizona sentinel., 1917-03-08
(By B. F. FLT.)

PHOENIX, Ariz., Mar. A. have
 spent a good portion of today at th'
 state capitol, where it was my grea
 pleasure to meet numerous senator:
 and members of the house, through tho
 courtesy of Senator Winsor and Rep
 resentatives Eddy and Edwards. Coun
 ty Recorder R. I. Vim was with me
 He can vouch for the fact that every
 legislator we meet said that Yums
 county had three of the very best
 members in the entire legislature
 while both Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Nc
 Kay, two of the lady members of the house, said they regarded our three members as the very best of them all
 While our two members of the house have introduced no great number oi bills personally, yet they have been smooth enough to get all their pet measures either passed or have them in such shape that they stand an ex cellent chance of becoming laws with in the next few days Among these can be especially mentioned the Gila bridge extension which is now up for final roll call There is a good story connected with MT. Edwards state flag bill which I will tell later for it's too good to keep.
 When Mr. Eddy finished his day yes- terday as chairman of the committee of the whole house, Mrs. O'Neill of Phoenix paid him the high compliment of wanting him to preside for the bal ance of the session for he proved to be really an A-No. presiding officer.
 In looking over the senate records this morning I found that Senator Winsor has been about the most active member of the senate, not only in kill ing vicious measures, but in passing good ones. Here is his record on bills he has introduced:
