dividual whose whereabouts IS at present a mystery, has gwen no little worry to the governor Of great state and to the friends of another who aspires to be the governor of this same grsat state. What are the feel ings of the aspirant for these guberna- torial honors have not yet been ex- pressed by him, and the public gen orally, as well as his constituents, are waiting with interest what he will have to say.
 My Dear Mike" is innocent of the charge of having put either Governor Hunt or his protege, Senator Fred T. Golfer, in the hole that they now find themselves placed in. It is quite | true that Mike may not be innocent Of some other things, but certain it is that he is innocent of this charge.
 My Dear Mike" is the affectionate term by which Governor Hunt ad- dressed M. c. Sullivan as late as August 16 of this year, at the time ! the governor was rounding up his po- litical cohorts in the interest of his candidate for governor, Senator Fred 1 T. Colter Tine letter, which the gov
 
 was introduced in the case or libel against Fred s. Breen, editor of the COconino Sun, and was reproduced in the Arizona Gazette on Wednesday afternoon.
 My Dear Mike" is reminded of the Eisbee deportation and the governor expresses his regrets that Mike will be unable to return to Arizona this tall and plan to take part in the cam paign" The governor apprises Mike Jf the political situation and de- nounces Senator Fred Sutter, candi- date TOT the democratic nomination at that time, as a friend of the cOrpo- rations, and says he gets all 'het up" whenever he thinks of him.
 My Dear Mike" is further advised by the governor:
 Then I think Mir Osborn is not much better, because a short time ago. when I was in California, my chauffeur was driving him around and he remarked to another man who was in the car that Mooney ought to hang, and he also does not believe in ex- perimenting; in fact, l think that he is just as subservient tool as Sutter and I believe the man who really rep resents progressive democracy is Fred Colter.
 T am very glad that the old lady from Ireland is coming here, and hope l shall have the pleasure of hearing her and if I have an oppor tunity to meet her shall recall the incident when we saw her in Bisbee."
 My Dear Mike" is aware. although the reader may not be. that the old lady from Ireland' referred to by the governor is none other than Mother Jones'" whose record is one of infamy and time served ill jails when she was not agitating in favor of the l. W. w. and the advocates of the tenets of that organization. Two, years ago during the campaign she appeared in Phoenix and declared that Governor Hunt was the one governor whose hand she was proud to shake.
 My Dear Mike" having received the letter from Governor Hunt ad- vocating the candidacy of Fred Col, ter, is naturally not aware that the fact that he was the governors candi- date was strenuousiy uenIed on the stump and through the press by Sen atCr Coiter and his friends and also that the I. w. w. itself was weakly repudiated by those who spoke for Senator Colter. Nor is Mike aware that what the governor stated to him in his letter was not to be proclaimed in public and that Governor Hunt re- trained from a public announcement of his fayorite in the primary, how ever many hundred letters similar to that to My Dear Mike" he may havi sent out.
 My Dear Mike" has furnished the connecting link and there can now be no doubt nor refutation of the fact that Golfer was at all times the candi- date of Governor Hunt and that the appeal was made for the votes of the disloyal element represented by the members Of the I. w. w. as is shown by this letter of Governor Hunt in which he regrets that Mike will be unable to return to Arizona in the fall and take part in the cam paign.
 Will Candidate COlter repudiate My Dear Mike" Mother Jones" and their class as arrayed in his interest by the Hunt political machine and make his campaign on an appeal for the suffrage of the loyal and honorable element of society?
 Will he publicly sever relations with George Wiley Paul Hunt. who has placed his name and his honor able ambition to be governor of the state of Arizona on the low plane that includes such outcasts of society?
 Will he brand as an unwarranted liberty the appeal in his behalf here shown to have been made by Govern or George Wiley Paul Hunt to that class which claims the privilege of citiZenry at the polls and repudiates and denies all obligations to govei.l- ment and society as organized?
 The action of Candidate COlter is awaited
