WIDOW AND MOTHER OF SOLDIERS
PUTS 1T SOUARELY UP. TO HUNT

IN the Arizona legislature the Challenge has been thrown
to Gov. G. ". P Hunt and his satellites state office
by the adoption Of resolution by unanimous vote calling
upon every state official to denounce the / " ". and
al its works and to pledge himself to do everything within
his power to nd the state Of organization which is
menace TO the government and stain upon the far name
Of state and insult to the beloved flag Of great
and glorious country"
The resolution, which was introduced by Mrs Pauline
ONei, member Of the assembly from Marioopa county,
contains PREDATORY paragraph resolving shat this legs
stuTe views with concern the activities Of the " "
and believes 1t to be lawless organization composed
men who to the safety and honor Of the
state and whose presence and propaganda reflection
upon brave soldier boys"
why did representative ONeiH introduce this resolu
tons Doubtless because she felt the which
pressed in the above knowing something the history
Of the attempt Of the Industrial Workers Of the World
close down every copper mine IN the greatest copper pro
iucHg state in the United States result Of which would
Be to cut OF the supplies OF copper without which the
United States the allies manufacture NUM-
tons Of She doubtless realized that the W. ", de-
eateQ Temporarily last summer, are not without hope Of
launching another offensive against the United States gov
eminent and the American people the southwestern
rout5 that the organization in Arizona is being kept
gether vel possible and that meetings Of the W ".
being he'd in Miami and possibly In other places and
that appoinee of the governor to state office W B.
Cleary, is Chicago member Of counsel in the
defence Of more than 100 ". " leaders and members
charged with conspiracy against their government.
Representative ONeiH has all the that any
patriotic American has for detestng the " W., and
than that. The widow Of Capt "Bucky" ONell, Rough
Riders regiment who killed in action before San Juan
hi while nghng 1or the glory OF his country and Tor the
freedom of Cuba could otherwise than abhor an
gauEatiOu which considers itself rebellion against the
United States. Nor could the mother Of Maurice ONei
United States national army do otherwise than loathe
organization which would deprive her Of the protection
Of artillery when he goes into life death battle and which
would leave his army blind and almost helpless before the
enemy BY depriFing it Of airplanes.
Representative ONe thus speaks legislator for the
good citizenship Of the state and she also speaks Mrs
OEsi- for every in Arizona whose husband
gone into uniform fight for his country and the
Of humanity Remember that In the ". W trial
Chicago, letter from " W, Charles Jacobs,
introduced IN which he wrote in connection with proposed
campaign Of sabotage against the beet sugar industry in

The action Of the assembly the Arizona legislature
tends to put the squarey up TO Gov Hunt and MS
subordnates The governor has been asked the question
before but has answered It publicly and satisfactorily
Now 1t is up to him. Does he stand with the ". W.
against 1t? VIII be do everything IN his power drive
this lawless destructive, pTo-Gean element out Of the
state?
Some Of the governors enemies have mistakenly cast
aspersi0ns his loyalty, trying make him appear out
Of sympathy with his country in the prosecution Of the
That's wrong. Gov Hunt appears patriotic anyone
Everyone Of his messages and everyone Of his official acts
with regard to the war; the draft provisions for enlisted
men the Liberty loan the Red Cross all have been on
high plane Of patriotism The governor from first last
stood with his country and the army and navy for
the successful prosecution Of the and the overthrow Of
imperial vandalism.
But somehow other the governor has always seemed
unable TO get proper perspective Of the Industrial Work
Of the World Probably his keen appreciation the
who works with his hands for daily wage and his
sympathy for the industrial under dog have got the better
