Prescott, Arizona, May 29. 1918. Hon. c. H. Rutherford,
 Senate Chamber
 Phoenix, Arizona E. My dear Senator:
 Our mutual friend, Judge James Loy, called on me yesterday, and an- nounced his candidacy for Attorney Genera of Arizona. He stated to me that you had plelged him your un- alloyed support; that you stated to hinn that he, above all other men ir Arizona, was the man for the pluce, etc, etc. Judge Loy also informed mo that it was your wish 70 hLd~ my attitude in this matter, and that you desired letter from me on the lsub- ject.
 Like ycu. good self, am satisfied 1 that Judge Loy is the man of the hour, the Moses, if your please, to lead us out of bondage to the promis- ed land! "No pent up Utica con- fines him;'' no musty precedents control him. High on his helm celestial lightnings play!"
 As criminal lawyer he has few, if any equals at least west of the Mis- souri river. His recent defense Of 'tMosseye," an Apache Indian, charg- ed with murder, was the delight and admiration of the Bar. In recognition of his heroic efforts in behalf of l 'Mosseye," I am informed he has been elected an honorary Sagamore of the Tonto Apache Tribe.
 His transcendent legal abilities have been demonstrated on many occasions, in an equity .suit,s one of the wealthiest men of the State, to recover for the alleged rightful own- CT real estate and other property az
 gregating in value over $100, 100000. A few years ago, some of his political
 enemies made the assertion that
 Judge Loy had gone to seed; that
 he could not go over the top, etc" "
 but from what have said, and I
 speak from the record you will agree
 with me that such assertions are | groundless.
 Judge Loy is an old timer, in fact. the dean of Hassayampers. Nearly
 forty-five years ago, in his youthful
 days, he left Missouri with his par. ents for Arizona. This was in In. dian times. He was three months in
 crossing the plains, and many were
 the exhibits in which he figured on
 that long tourney He climbed noun LdluS, SWdu TlV0TS, lOuSut SdNdSS men and wild beasts. For three months be subsisted on the meat oi the buffalo which he cooked on fires produced by buffalo chips. The hoo'
 of the owl and hiss of the rattlesnake I became music to his ears. During the !, nocturnal hours. with the ground fcl , his bed and the sky for his covering his slumbers were often. interrupted h,, fho voI1c If tho rodSkiuS aQ vel as by the growls of ferocious ami !, mals; but, whether reposing in tht , cave of some secluded canyon, ol
 astride of his Missouri mule, ou
 hero boldly faced every danger, ant
 firally crossed the Mogollon noun : ta inns into the promised land of th' 7 Verde Valley. where he pitched hi !. ltant amidst the sequestered glens 0
 old Yavapai county.
 !, For the past twenty-five years Judg !. Ioy has been in the active practice r of law. His legal blade has fashe' l. in nearly every courtroom in thi 8 state. He announces that in this cam p raien he is out for blood. and vii visit and stump every city. town. an hamlet. rodeo camp, revival camr s railroad camp. road camp. war camI ), and cross roads in the State. fror O the TTtah line to Sonora. From nov m. Judge Lows headnuarters will Il i in the saddle! His slogan is: > 'Tav on. Mscduff. and damned b r., him
 n That first cries. Hold. euoughi'' ,, Yours for Judge Loy, e P. w. O'SULLIvAN.
