Bisbee daily review., 1918-06-11

under your own administration; and waiving aside any ipsinuation of con- nivance on your part at the depOrta- tions carried on during tho months of October, November and December. 1915, q will leave that 10 your own conscience), the fact remains that with all the power necessary at your com mand you did not stop them.
 You cannot pull the wool over the eyes of the public by setting up a man of strow and knocking him down, or by disporting yourself amid irrelevant matters
 Stick to the point, Governor. Can you deny that the deportations I refer to did take place in the Clifton-Mor- enci district under your own admins tration.
 Can You Deny7
 Can you deny that these deporta- tions were carried out with a barbar- ity unequalled in the 'revolting annals of any labor dispute in this state?
 Can you deny that you were aware that unlawful deportations were being carried out in the Clifton-Moreuci dis tricts?
 Can you deny that you did not put a stop to them?
 I ask you whether teh perpetrators of these outrages were company thugs and gunmen, or were they men wear ing hat bands bearing the motto "Hur- rah for Governor Hunt?"
 Can you deny that you have at all times failed to call the attention of the legislature to them, and have failed or refused to recommend or secure legis- lation calculated to prevent their repe- titioh:
 If you presume to deny any of the above facts. then it will be my un- pleasant duty to expose before the eyes of the public a full statement of facts connected with these deportations in the Clifton Morenci district, continued throughout the months of October, No vember and December, 1915, and other facts proving that lawless conditions continued in this district during tha: time, and that while Governor during all that time, with channels of accurate information open to you, and untram- melled in your power, you failed to take the necessary steps to put stop to these atrocities, and you failed to have the laws of the state upheld, and that you failed to have peace and order maintained.
 The mere statements of certain indi- viduals that they were not molested is but a puerile and totally inadequate defense.
 Were You Present at Bisbee7
 You question my authority to ac- curately describe the Clifton-Morenci deportations because I did not myself witness them; May I respectfully ask if you were present at the Bisbee de portations, which you describe with such blood-curdling details. or how did you get your information?
 Stepping aside with you for a ma. ment to discuss the immaterial and irrelevant matters introduced by you for the obvious purpose mentioned earlier in this letter.
 You refer to the ignominious flight of the managers and their residence in another state. I have no doubt that our action caused wou chagrin, as our escape to a state where life unmolested was possible, called public attention to the obstacles to peace obtaining under your regime. and denied you the cor templated pleasure and satisfaction of incarcerating us as your guests at pub Iic expense in place where. like criminals, we would have been sub feet to gubernatorial vIsitatiOns with cut recourse to the protection of the law.
 But why ignominious? Is it not as honorable to ride on lcmtive as in a private care?
 If you were in goal and wanted to
