Arizona republican., 1918-09-15
A Neiqhbor's View

The Fl Paso Herald commenting on the political situation in Arizona says:
 Although many Arizona precincts remain to be heard from it is now apparent that Fred T. Colter will be the democratic candidate for governor in op position to Thomas F. Campbell the republican can didae Sufficient returns have been received to make certain the defeat of secretary of state Sidney Os born and Judge Fred Sutter in Wednesdays primary They stood the candidate of conservative denoc- Iacy In Arizona Golfer, supported by Gov. Hunt and his radical following, stands the candidate of the democratic party.
 Mr. Coter has interesting personality and a good legislative record He made good in the state senate supporting such popular measures as woman suffrage and prohibition and has been very success ful in his own affairs. He is banker merchant catteman and farmer and nothing is strange that that man of wealth, engaged in these occupations should receive the support of the l. w w faction and of that body of democrats who Are not anarchists or I. w. W.s but who border being socialists Eut he has all that vote His support does all come rom those sources. Many high class, loyal sober and conservative democrats must have voted for him in the primary or he would have defeated Messrs. Osborn and Sutter completely. But the fact that he has publicly condemned the traitor ous l. W. w. who arc trying to control the state and the fact that he has their support puts a big black mark against him. And his attacks on the large in dustries of the state made in his campaign literature are much like Gov. Hunts indicate tkat he and Hunt completely in sympathy and that his administration, if elected will be just like that Of Hunt
 In other words, it appears that Coter. like Hunt, would look with suspicion and unfriendiness on any enterprise employing large amount of capital and large number of men and that if such enterprise were so unfortunate to be attacked by the l. w. w. it could expect favor from him. Though doubtless meaning well, Gov Hunt has never been big enough to treat all classes of citizenship equal. Whether Mr Colter if elected could give square deal all around cannot be taken for granted in view of the influences around him and of his announcements up to the present time If Mir. Osborn Judge Suter had been nominated Arizona would have been certain in the event of their election of administration friendly to organized labor. friendly also farmer and 10 business and industries but very unfrendly to the pro-German. the anarchist the Bolshevk, the l. w. w and the long whiskcred individual who makes living by moving from place place stirring up class hatred and agitating strikes.
 As it now stands, Arizona has the choice of two men for governor. One has the backing of a very undesirable element in addition to the support given him by good citizens. He bears the radical brand The other Is progressive and broad minded conservative Who treats everyone alike and who gave Arizona in the II months of his gubernatoria administration the best state government it had had in years The first is MT. Colter the second MT. Campbell
 The first is democrat and the second republi- can, but parties don't matter now Democrat and re- publican are but names. The count and what they stand for. If Arizona people sane and sound administration, free of class animostes and freak notions. they will elect MT Campbell If they choose to uphold the treacherous unpatriotic l. w w. who again trying to state after having been scared half to death during the admin ,stration of Gov Campbell they will for the can didate whom the l. w. W. support.
 In the last previous state election, Mir Campbell received the votes of very important pavt Of the democratic party including not few organized bor and he will receive votes from n-ga lzcd labor this time, that the eyes of many have bee, opened to the Bolshcvik tendencies of of their leaders. He will also receive the support conser- vative democrats who in rebellion against nnts
