MINER FOUND DEAD
IN HIS ROOM HERE

j. w. Wilson, a miner who has been
in the employ of the Ray Con Copper
Company was found dead at his room
Saturday. His brother, T. H. Wilson
of Phoenix, arrived the fore part of
the week and interment was made
here at the Ray cemetery. Mr.. Will
son was sixty years of age and was
an old time resident here. He had
lived at Bisbee for time and was
here for about three months during
his last residence.

patriotism is true blue and intelli-
gent; now is the time to show clearly
by actions as we'll as by words, that
no advantage is to be taken during
the war by organized labor. Only in
this way can the lingering suspicious
of conservative labor be removed and
the anti-patriotic and mountaineering
propaganda of radical labor agitators
be rendered harmless. Industrial
peace cannot be expected as long as
there is no strong sense of partner
ship between capital and labor" it
cannot be anticipated until labor and
capital cease to be suspicious of each
other In this state their differences
now are more fancied than real-they
can be and must be brought together
in a spirit of friendliness and mutual
understanding realizing that their in
terests are in common, that strife
and antagonism are detrimental to
each, and at this time dangerous to
the progress of the world.
In ordinary times it should be and
is, l believe, the purpose of the state
officials to conduct the affairs of gov
eminent in an economical manner,
and in these extraordinary times, it is
not only duty but an imperative
necessity that the strictest economy
be practiced-that all waste, even to
the minutest degree, be stopped. Red
tape and cumbersome governmental
machinery must be eliminated, man.
power and dollars must be released
for war purposes. The financial bur-
dens of the war will, of necessity, fall
hard upon all of our citizens, and I
pledge my best efforts to the reduc-
ton of state and county expenditures.
In general l pledge myself, if elect
ed Governor, to devote my time and
whatever of ability may possess, to:
Speeding up war work.
Promoting a spirit of mutual I'M
derstanding and confidence between
employer and employe, safeguarding
the rights of each.
Destroying the influence of the
1. w. w.
Promoting efficiency and economy
in the state government and all the
departments thereof.
At this time when our government
is emploring it's citizens to invest ev-
cry dollarAyes, every cent-possible
in, Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps;
when the need is so imperative; when
the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and kin
dred organizations must be supplied,
by volunteer contribution, with funds
to carry on the great and necessary
work to which they are dedicated, it
seems to me to be the part, at least
of selfishness to expend any large
sum of money for campaign purposes,
or to even expend what would, in or
binary times, be deemed a reason
able'' amount. Firm in the belief that
the citizenship of Arizona is compe-
tent to select it's public servants with
out the advice of paid personal rep
resentatives of candidates, and firm
in the belief that anyone who may so
conduct his campaign will be rebuked
at the polls, l submit my candidacy.
Sincerely yours,
SIDNEY P. OSBORN.

There is no halfway ground. We
trenches or stab them in the back
That there are those who would him
der the government in this hour of
national peril, there is no doubt, and
it is against this element, whoever
they may be and wherever they may
be, that the forces of law and the
forces of public opinion must be di-
rected. I cannot, do not and will not,
for a moment, countenance the organ
ization known as the-I. w. Wan or
ganization that believes in and teaches
destruction of life, destruction of
property, opposition to law and order,
and which declares "that the question
Of right and wrong does not concern
it in it's activities"
Is it not of sinister significance,
or at least sinister coincidence, that
both the Imperial German govern
ment and the l. w. W. base their poll
cies on the principle that the question
of right and wrong does not concern
them in their activities? An organi-
cation whose principles are such is a
menace to the progress of this nation
at all times, and particularly so at
this time, and must not be permitted
to exist, but in combating it's activi-
ties and eradicating it's influence, we
must move quickly-we must act fear
lessly-but always in lawful man.
ner. Arizona is and must be law
abiding state, and individuals cannot
be permitted to take the law into their
own hands.
The Hohenzollern, master Of propa-
ganda, has his agents at work in every
state, sowing the seeds of discord and
discomfort, storing up strife whenever
and wherever possible, retarding pro-
duction, destroying crops, blowing up
munition factories, setting fire to ship
yards, and in every other conceivable
way hindering and delaying our gov
eminent in it's effort to do it's full
part in the prosecution of the war
against the Central powers, and if the
I. w. w. is not knowingly in league
with these powers, it is, just as surely
doing their work
I am progressive and have always
stood for advanced legislation. At this
time the progress of the world is
threatened and the most progressive
action that can be taken is a united
and absolute devotion to the great
task before us, for America and the
Allies must win complete victory
or the world is plunged in darkness
and the progress of the past centuries
lost.
The business of this nation is war
Our petty quarrels, personal antagon
isms and differences of opinion must
the war of organized labor. Only In
for the common good. In other words
we must get together as one great ma
| ton, with but one aim, one purpose
and one effort; the spirit of friend

place of distrust and antagonism, anc
particularly must this be so between
the employers and employees. Surely
now is the time for the great indus
trial and financial interests of the
state to prove Individually that theil

cd of adjustment of these differences
is that of arbitration. The federal
governments has provided the means
for carrying out arbitration in this
state, and this method, therefore,
should have our fullest support and
honest cooperation.
Our Great Responsibility.
The responsibility which rests upon
both capital and labor at this time is
greater than at any other time in the
history of the nation. l am not in
sympathy with the strike breeder and
agitator who endeavors to create dis
sension between employer and en-
ploye, nor am in sympathy with the
employer who seizes upon such con
ditions as confront us today to dsi-
rupt the organizations of his employees
or to profiteer. Both are guilty of
criminally hampering the nation in
the prosecution of the war
For Organized Labor.
believe in organized labor, but not
in the organization which permits
domination by narrow, unpatriotic,
selfish leadership which exploits
labor for the furtherance Of selfish
ends at the expense of production.
The high-efficiency must prevail for
the greatest national good in this war
period, in which strikes and losses in
output growing out of dissatisfaction
are more deplorable than in any pre-
vious time in our history.
Enemies at Home.
In the same spirit of loyalty I de-
test the l. w. w. and their doctrine
as we'll as all others who ridicule pat
riotism and openly or covertly defy
the national government and lend
themselves to the spreading of propa-
ganda of enemy countries. They are
no less enemies of the American peo-
pie than the Germans in the trenches,
and every loyal Arizonan, regardless
Of political affiliations, is in honor and
loyalty bound to assist in stamping
them out forever. There must be no
catering to traitors. We should have
on our statute books stringent laws
for the punishment of felons, of all
purveyors of enemy propaganda and
advocates Of sabotage on our farms
and ranges, in our mines, upon our
railroads, or in any of our industries,
whether through intimidation, by
word of mouth or actual deed of vio-
lence, or through sympathy. At a
time when the country needs the
labor of every citizen, we should have
upon our statute books stringent
law requiring every able-bodied man
to be at work at some useful calling.
Amercanism First.
With the winning of the war, the
greatest duty of the hour, we at home
should devote ourselves to the promo
ton of industries efficiency to the ut
most, to running down and stamping
out the enemy without our gates and
to crushing his ally, the I. w. w This
we owe to those who are offering life
itself to save us at home from the
mailed fist.
