POLITICAL ISSUES IN NUTSHELL

In state matters the chief issue is
the controversy between Governor
! Campbell and the democratic members
1 OF the present land board, including
| Nit Sims, Wiley Jones, and Harry
Ross. Messrs. Simms, Jones, ct al are
IN favor of renewing the old dummy
leases to the large livestock interests
at the present low rates, and interpa-
table as preference leases, without re-
gard to the actual value of the land
ror grazing or any other purpose, thus
creating virtually perpetual mono
poly by the larger cattle interests.
Governor Campbell is fighting to over
throw this policy so that leases can
be made on the basis of the actual
value OF the lands for the purpose for
which leased and the Withholding from
long term leases te state lands sus-
sceptible of reclamation and agricul-
tural use so they can be brought un-
der irrigation and be developed as
ia ms and homes.
Nevada made the mistake of a land
policy and allowed it's lands to be
monopOlized by a few large holders
and its development has been SO scan
dalously curtailed that it's population
has actually decreased as shown by
recent census. Governor Campbell
is forN a progressive, BODYBUILDING.
agriculturally, developed state. Nit
S1mms is for the disastrous Nevada
policy. WHAT ARE YOU FOR?,
VOTERS OF NAVAJO COUNTY. The
decision is to be made next Tuesday.
For the program of advancement we
must have new land board which
means the Republican state ticket.
Naturally the big question is, shall
our country abandon it's pre-eminentl
position as a world leader to become
the tail of the European kite? Senator
Harding declares for plan of inter-
national cooperation to maintain the
peace of the world with "full ex-
pectation of becoming a member of a |
wise association of nations for that |
purpose but without any Impairment
OF our independence. Governor Cox |
is for going in just like lamb that /
formed a partnership with a wolf. |
Oar boys fought~te prove Americas |
right to freedom from the insults and
intended domination of certain Euro-I
pean rulers. Lets keep what those
boys and our Revolutionary ances-
tors fought and died to bequeath us!
Next Tuesday it will be HARDING &
COOLIDGE, THE DECLARATION OFF
THE GOD orr
DAINED CONSTITUTION, AND
POWERFUL AND PRE-
EMINENT, or Cox and CHAOS.
AMERICANS OF NAVAJO COUN-
TY, WHICH DO YOU WANT?

The Republican voters of Navajo
county should remember that Ralph
II. Cameron is the regular nominee
for Senator. e. S. Clark is a good
man, and would have made an excel
lent member and credit to his con-
stitutents, but he did not get the
nomination Now he says he will do
all he can for the success of the tic
ket as it was fixed by the primaries,
just like the good Republican that he
is. Let every voter ''go thou and do
likewise" Vote solidly for Cameron
and put your party on the map
Ralph H. Cameron is making his
campaign on the theory that Arizona
is entitled to something from the gen.
eral government, and that he can get
something. His opponent says it
can't be done. Which will you take,
the man who says Il can" or the man
who says 81 can't and l can't"
We believe you will vote for Cam
eron the optomist.

The governorship campaign has re-
solved itself into this: The land
monopoly against Tom Campbell.
They made their boast that they would
"bust" him if he did not do their
bidding. And what was that? Sim
ply leave alone a corrupt land COM
mission. Well, the fact that they are
now working tooth and nail, to hind
er his reelection is a strong proof
that he told them he would not work
for one class against the common
people. So they have drawn the Of
fcers of the State Cattle Growers
association into the fight who are now
wiring all members of the associa-
ton to "dig up" at once to beat Tom.
Many of these manly fellows are re-
senting this in strong terms. One man
from the Tucson region answered the
telegram in three words. The first
letters of which are G. T. H.
IL you want an eH1C1ent adfnlHlStfd-
tion and peace with dignity in all the
world, vote for Harding.
If you want business agent in
Washington, who can and will work
for Arizona, vote for Cameron.
If you want state government
which is honest, economical, and i'm
partial, vote for Campbell.
If you want men in office who will
be true to your interest all along the
line, vote the Republican ticket all
the way down. ADV.

Reclamation is Republicanism. In
eight years of democratic administra-
ton the salvation of Arizona and the
guarantee of her advancement has
been a dead issue. If Mark Smith,
with thirty years membership in Con-
gress has no influence with his own
party, why send him to hamper a new
administration? Harding's election is
assured. Who can help? Nit Simms
won't because he is a tool of the graz
ing land monOpolists and Mark Smith
Can't because he's canned. Forward
with Cameron and Campbell Lets
go.

DECIDEDLY
AGAINST It

The people of Wisconsin Rapids
have not forgotten the cold blooded
murder of Grant Beardsley and they
want Governor Philip to know that
they are decidedly against his grant
ing a pardon to Mortimer Wilson, for
that murder. His pardon would be
an outrage upon justice. 1t makes
our blood boil to think of it even.
Never. This is no time to even
think of such a thing.

HERE AND THERE

Young man, if you have a good job
in the country, hang onto it.
If you want to walk the streets
week after week in a fruitless search
for work, go to one of the big cities.
Newspapers are not parading the
fact, but those who understand con-
ditions in the large cities can tell you
that employers are laying off their
help in increasing numbers every day,
and the end is nowhere in sight.
A good country job has many at
fractions.
The army of the unemployed has
none.
