chased and made improvements on
this land which cost me $50, $50.
These improvements consisted of
houses, corrals, fencing, and other
like improvements, also wells, one 900
feet deep, power pumping plants, four
reservoirs, water troughs, one $4,000
gallon cement reaervoir and many
ether improvements. This was actual
cash paid by me to fit the range for
use, it does not include my or my en-
ployee's work or the work Of my
stock.
Affiant further says that he leased
from private parties % sections of
land adjoining his lease state land.
At this time sheepmen from the north
were bringing their fiocks down on
my range to winter. This led to diff
ficulty and I and the sheepmen could
not both stay They wanted me to
move. l looked up a range near
Oracle and there purchased improve
ments On United States land, being
compelled to pay very high prices
I therefor. l then offered the sheepmen
all my improvements on my Queen
Creek range for $4,000, this covered
the $30,750 I had paid out in actual
cash for, improvements on my new
range. This offer, through Les Hart,
the sheepmen's representative, was
accepted, and / transferred to them
my leases on privately owned lands,
and the leases on the state lands held
by me and referred to by Governor
Campbell, together with the improve
ments thereon, for the consideration

change I had to make from SIS 5000

Another of Governor Campbell's
statements in Flagstaff Tuesday even
ing has been refuted This is the
statement which he made, according
to an account in Wednesday morn
ing's Arizona Republican as follows:
Turning direct to a cattleman in
the audience the Governor said Lies
Hart, you paid $4,000 for the transfer
of lease to you on 100000 acres and
had to pay the three cents an acre
rental besides. Why did you pay that
$4,000 extra if this land Is worth
-only three cents an acre the land COM
missioner collects for it? Who did
you pay that $4,000 to? And how
did he split it?"
In answer to this statement Of the
Governors, George Taylor, prominent
cattleman, has issued the following
statement, signed and sworn to before
notary public:
George Taylor, being first duly
sworn, upon his oath deposes and
says THAT he is of the age Of 43 years,
living in Arizona 81 years and for 21
years has been engaged in the cattle
business; that he was the person re-
ferred to by Governor Campbell in
his speech at Flagstaff, Arizona, Oct
5th, as having sold to Les Hart GER
tain leased state lands for GAO n0n
Affiant further says that he held 49,
900 acres of leased land in what is
known as the Queen Creek district

1t may have been true once upon a
time that prophet was not without
honor save in his own country; but
times have changed. When Mulford
Winsor, leading citizen of Yuma,
turned prophet few days ago and
predicted the election of Nit Simms
as governor Of Arizona, and Of the
whole Democratic State ticket, his
words were accepted as true by the
people, not only of Yuma county, but
generally throughout the State.
On his recent visit in Yuma, Nit
Simms met with a hearty response
from Yuma county people. His op-
ponent in the primary race, State
Senator Milford Winsor, was con-
tinually with Simms during his stay
in the southwestern city. The two
discussed the campaign and made
plans to further it's complete sue
cess. Senator Winsor publicly pledg-
ed his support to Simms and to the
entire ticket.
The following quotation from the
Yuma Sun is worthy of notice:
"Hon. Nit Simms, Democratic nom
inee for Governor, created an un-
| usually favorable impression on the
Yuma voters from the moment he
| stepped from the train until he board
| ed the train for other sections Of the
state. He has every appearance Of a
real governor. Yuma county will
give him the biggest majority any
candidate ever received in this coun-
| ty. And he will build us a good road
from Yuma to Phoenix without de-
lay"
The Winslow mail., 1920-10-15

That the road Department. of Ari-
zona needs to be administered regard
less of all partisanship, is one of the
planks of the platform adopted by
Nit Simms in the present campaign.
Mr.. Simms has promised the people
Of Arizona highway department
whose sole work will be the building
of road system that will be a Gre
dit to the State, and those who know
Mr.. Simms believe that he will make
his promise good.

Let us pause in the heat of poll
tical campaign and consider George
Washington, first president of the
United States, Father of his country
idol and inspiration of the youth of
America, the man whom all Ameri-
cans speak of with reverence and par
donable pride.
In letter to Thomas Jefferson un-
der date Of July 6, 1897, he worte: /
II had no conception that part
les would or even could go to the
length I have witnessed to; nor
did l believe until lately, that it
was within the bounds of possi-
bll1ty that. 49,. every act of my
administration would be tortured
and the grossest and most insid-
uous misrepresentation of them
made. ..and that too in such
exaggerated and indecent terms
as could scarcely be applied to a
Nero-a notorious defaulter-or
even to common pickpocket."
You can not recall, you who read
this, that Theodore Roosevelt came in
for this same calumny and can you
not today hear Republican orators re-
Wiling the President of these United
States just as Washington was revil-
ed. Washington was even accused of
being untrue to the cause of the Re-
volution. Can you not discern in the
TRADES on the President the same line
of attack, the same absolute dis
honesty Of purpose, the same exhibi-
tion Of utter depravity. 1t won't hurt
you again to read the words Of Wash
ington and pause moment and give
them weight in the light of what is
occurring in this presidential cam
paign.

Simms gave his opinion that the Apa-
che Trail is. a great asset to Arizona,
that it has high commercial value,
and that it is of special Importance
because of its scenic value which at
tracts thousands of tourists each year.
Another reason which he gave for
wishing to see the Apache Trail con-
structed and restored was that it is
the only avenue by which the Roose-
velt dam can be reached.
The Winslow mail., 1920-10-15

The Apache Trail is one Of the
roads which Mr. Simms has promised
to put into shape for the heavy travel
it is continually subjected to, if he is
elected governor. He has also pledg-
ed himself to the advancement of the
Yuma-Phoenix road project He ap-
preciates the great need Of Arizona
people for better roads, roads that
will soon pay for themselves in the
increased commercial advantages they
will offer
At recent speech in Mesa, Mr..
The Winslow mail., 1920-10-15

Every great step in human progress
has met with opposition. Washington
faced it, Lincoln faced it, Wilson
faces 1t.
When the Constitution of the United
States was under consideration, it was
violently opposed in many quarters on
the ground that, if adopted, the boys
of North Carolina might be sent to
help quell disorder in Maine.
When the Monroe doctrine was un-
der consideration, the same kind Of
people had visions of Americas young
men dying on the battle fields OF South
America to maintain this doctrine
Now we have the League of Nations
issue with the same reactionaries
stating that our boys will be. sent
overseas to help settle European
Quarrels.
Without League Of Nations two
million of our boys were sent over
seas and two million others were
ready to 60 overseas. With a League
Of Nations future wars will be we'll
nigh impossible and America will
never again see four million Of its
men under arms.
Governor Cox has declared that he
will present the League of Nations to
Congress as soon as he can do so
Senator Harding has pledged himself
to scrap the measure"
The covenant Of the League of Ma
tions is in the hands Of the President
His action is necessary to bring it be-
fore Congress. Governor Cox promises
to do this. Senator Harding says that
the League is dead The issue is
clear-cut. 1t is either Cox and the
League of Nations or Harding and no
League.
The Winslow mail., 1920-10-15

During his study of the Arizona
road situation in general, Mr.. Simms
has hit upon a method by which he
can put the Apache Trail project
through. This, the State Engineer,
Thomas Maddox, has failed to do.
Further than this, he has even refused
to consider any means proposed by
the counties of Gila, Pinal and Mari
copa by which the road might be re-
stored to its proper condition.
