Last night in the Pastime theatre A. s. Hawkins spoke in the interest of his candidacy for the office of attorney general of Arizona. A considerable part of his speech was devoted to critIcising the acts of Wiley B. Jones, present incumbent of the office. and candidate for re-elec- tion. This speech was in part as follows:
 MT. Jones claims. in his cam paign literature, that he has fought all along the line for the enforcement of the prohibition law" He also produces a letter from a man in California, en- dorsing his prohibition record and stating that it will not do to put anyone else in the office of Attorney General but MT. Jones.
 say that MT. Jones has not prosecuted a single bootlegger in this state, and that any credit due for the enforcement of the prohibition law should go to the local county officers, county at- torneys and peace officers of the respective counties. instead of to MT. Jones.
 I further charge that MT. Jones, since he has been Attor- ney General of this state, has continuously violated the pro- hibition law, both in spirit and in letter. state that which everyone knows when I say that MT. Jones is admittedly the most notorious booze fighter in Arizona; he drinks all the liquor he can get and is frequently seen in public places in an ad- vanced state of intoxication. at such times when the business of his office requires his most ur- gent attention. In this connec- tion, I ask the question: How does MT. Jones get this liquor upon which he becomes intoxi- cated? If he brings this liquor into the state he violates the law. If he manufactures it him. self, he violates the law. If he procures it from a bootlegger, he aids, abets and encourages the violation of the law, for he says. on page 72 of his published OPINIONS: ''The purchaser and also salesman, are both prin- cipals in any attempted intro duction into Arizona.
 I ask the further question: How can MT. Jones do these things in the face of the official oath which he has taken which binds him to uphold the law?
 In the light of the undisputed facts I characterize MT. Jones as a lawbreaker, and in this con- nection quote from President Wilson on that subject as follows:
 HONOR HOME LAWS
 T can never accept any man as a champion of liberty either for ourselves or for the world who does not reverence and obey the laws of our own be- loved land, whose laws we our selves have made. He has adopt ed the standards of the enemies of his country, whom he affects to despise. '
 Why should those who believe in the enforcement of the pro- hibition law select for Attorney General of this state man who has himself violated the law as often as any man in Arizona?
 The law of almost every state but this, makes drunkenness in office a crime, and in some of the states. the penalty is remov- al from office. If q man is not permitted to run a Ford auto mobile while intoxicated. why should a man be permitted to run one of the highest offices in this state while in such a con- dition?

We have had it pretty nice here so
far. Have time off every evening
from $3.50 p. N. until s p. m. and

night.
There are three other boys sitting

Dear Folks: Will try to answer
your last letter written the 18th of
September, was sure glad to get it.
We've changed places again. | like
this part OF the country better than
where we were before. although it
is little cooler, it is more pro-
ductiye and looks little more like
home. They grow grasses about. the
same as We do but is doesn't seem
to be so tall.
Quite few spuds and small grain,
some fruit and very nice gardens,
and they have some great strain of
cows, they are very beefy and look
Ike good milcltars and have the
color of spotted Jersey.
We are billited in quaint little
old village now that is something
over coo years old. and some of the
people look equal to it also
I'll bet you folks did enjoy your
fishing trip. | sure would of liked
TO have been there also. | missed
last fall and also this. but guess 1
can live through it alright.
| got nice long letter from Dell

anu you leil Oiyue 10 write.
No | haven't seen any of the home
boys except Earl Mason and l got

The moving delayed my writing

This is all | can think OF tonight.
so will close hoping to Wear from
