TEARS INTO THE HUNT
 MACHINE
CHARACTERIZES ADMINS TRATION AS A PEST HOLE OF BOLSHEVIKISM AND EVERYTHING ANTI AMERICAN.
(From Saturdays Daily)

speeches ever heard m GrcSCOtt Was made last evening at the Elks opera house by a Democrat. Fred Sutter, candidate for the nomination for gov crnor on the Democratic ticket, was the speaker For better than an hour he propounded sound Republicanism to many hundred Prescott people.
 Marked by freedom from vitu- peration and invective, Senator Sut- ter's talk characterized the present Hunt administration, which by infer cnce he placed behind his opponents part for Colter and the remainder for Osborn-a pest hole of Bolshe- vikism and quasi-Americanism.
 Starting from the premise that he was a Democrat, Senator Sutter add ed that he was, possibly, queer kind of a Democrat. He continued that he was that kind of a Democrat who believed the Democratic party should be entirely divorced from Socialism and I. w. W'ism.
 He denied that the l. w. W. was not an issue in the campaign this year. He pointed out the principles of the organization and characterized them as being against the tenets of Democratic government. He declar- ed that Arizona was suffering more, perhaps, than any other state in the union from this form of ism.
 Sutter declared. nreauivocally, that. if elected governor of Arizona his first act would be to "clean house" at Phoenix.
 ''I'll make it so hot for the I. w. w in the state of Arizona that there will be no necessity of law-abiding citizens deDorting this class" he de clared. "The Industrial Worker of the World recognizes no law, human, moral or otherwise"
 Speaking of prison reform Sutter declared that one of his opponents, he meant Golfer - had declared he would perpehiate the present prison reform policy.
 q promise you." added Sutter, "that is nominated and elected gover nor of the state of Arizona l will not continue the present prison reform polics or the people who are admins tering it. will make it impossible for criminals, who are now arrested, convicted and taken to Florence. to beat the deputy sheriff back to their home county"
 Suttcr pointed out certain condi- tions holding at the state pcniten- t;ary. He told of the debacle, during the last week, in which an inmate was murdered by another. He told of one of the l. w. w. guards being asleep on the wall and allowing an inmate to make his way over the wall. He told of a painter, who was working at the psnitentiry. being given coat of his own paint by a crowd of convicts for certain remarks he had quoted in a Phoenix news paper. Suttcr asked his audience, upon the completion of his recital of these conditions whether there was and discipline in the state penitcn- tiary.
 The speaker charged the present administration with an cndeavor, both past and present. to perpctratc the most powerful political machine ever seen in the west In claborat- ing his subject, Sutter charged that the law, fostercd by Hunt and his satellites, which created the commis- sion of state institutions was passed for the sole purpose of enabling the administration to cntrcnch itself in state offices He showed that the administration succeeded in passing through the state legislature a law which compelled officials 10 have all state work done by days pay, abolishing the contract system. He explained the motive behind the law as that of a desire Of the administra- ton to hire and fire every man who was working on state work of any character.
 In speaking, more particularly of the commission on state institutions. he showed that it cost the state of Arizona approximately N,O00 to run the board of control for an entire year. He presented figures which disclosed that the commission of state institutions spent an equivalent amount during the month of July. He showed that the commission was cm- ploying about 5 people and had, but recently, purchased four automobiles while there are only three members of the commission.
 q don't want the I. w. w., or any Of its members or friends to vote for me-" declared Senator Suttcr in one of his sallics against that organization. "i do not want the vote of any man who does not believe in fair gover-. nor. who believes in playing class against class and whose one object appears 10 be the disruption of the progress and prosperity of the state of Arizona"
 Sutter played but lightly on the patriotism string in his speech. His few alluSions, however found their connections with matters of import ance in the state of Arizona With the usual flourish. frcer than usual of oratorical efforts, the speaker left his crowd after speaking about an even hour
 The Cochisc county man left last evening for Rcd Lake, where he will join the other candidates in the bar bccuc al that point today. He cN-. poets to remain about a week in
