Bisbee daily review., 1918-08-20


 company fer my legal services. On just two occasions I have represented the Copper Queen, and that was sev- eral years ago. I am the attorney for the Shattuck but they only own so much of my services as they pay tor. My conscience and my mind and my will are my own. That's what l wrote
 them a year ago when l brought suit against ether corporations, and if you want proof of it just call at my of flee and I'll show you copy of that letter there on file
 Further, have in the United States courts two cases which I prosecuted through the courts of Arizona, and in which I am now fighting to uphold the personal injury laws of this state. Does that sound like I'm a corporation man? In both of these cases l got judgment for the two largest personal injury sums ever awarded in this county's courts. Does that sound like I was a corporation man? More than that, put up every dollar of the costs of fighting these cases. I did mora than that. One of these poor work ing men had no money, bought coal and sent it to his home, and paid for another's operation. If I had it in for the working man would I have done that?"
 Senator Sutter then cited his record as regards the working man in the past several years. During the terri torial legislature in 1909. he, declared, and cited the journal for proof, he sup ported a law which provided for an S-hOur day for hoisting engineers, an other which provided a similar day TOT employees in laundries, and he led the fight and assisted in passing the law which repealed the ancient, anarchistic Arizona law limiting the amount of damages which the relatives of de- ceased man could collect to $500O, and made it possible in the state for rela- tives of a deceased man to sue for and collect any sum which they wished to name. He assisted in the passage of a law prohibiting company stores from forcing employees to trade with them, and had it not been for his support, the law would not have passed.
 In the last session of the legislature he cited one or two similar instances, notably the minimum wage law for women for which he worked and voted.
 Does that sound like corporation mans work?" he demanded. 'I chal- lenge investigation of my record. l challenge any man to point to an in- stance in my career where l have not worked and voted in the interest of the working man"
 Senator Sutter declared he will use the same yardstick" to measure all individuals and all corporations should he be elected, and pledged fair deal to every individual and every work man and every empioye in the state;
 Why, it is charged that I stole the First National Bank. Now here are he eacts of that case. On May g, 1907, the hank was in bad shape. was talking with Noland, the cashier, and to d him I knew where l could borr row s50OO. He asked me to get 1t for the bank to tide them over. l agreed if he would give me the proper se- ourities. He gave me the securities, got tho money and delivered it to NoIand. A few months later l was in California when the note was called The First National Bank took up the note. paid out the s5O0O and carried the note as cash. I have in my office now the check for S5000, canceled, showing where paid that sum to the First National Bank The bank exam lner looked into the matter and found out the facts, and refused to bring ac- tion.
 Now, as 10 that second note. l Dor rowed sb0O0 and gave as security on the note 300 shares of Shattuck stock then valued at more than S10,0o0. What happened2 When the bank iail- ed the Shattuck stock was gone. It had been sold. I have been here all the time. am not nor have l been bankrupt Why, if l owed the money, did they not sue me? Because they knew the facts"
 Senator Outer then cited instances of how he had satisfied these and other notes in full after they had be- come outlawed, and he declared that today should he wish it, he can go WxYXYVWX~NK~xN.~.
