first definite move in state politics
for the coming election was the unan-
imous endorsement this week by the
ella County Bar Association at its
annual meeting of County Attorney

nomination for attorney general.
This is a movement which is ex-
pected to meet with the hearty sup
port of large majority of the voters
of ella county. Mr.. Murphy has for
many years been a resident of the
county and for the past three. years
has occupied with distinction the Of
flee Of county attorney.
The ability and integrity he has
displayed in conducting the affair OF
that office is a strong assurance that
the people of the state of Arizona will
have no cause to regret the election
of Mr. Murphy to the office of attor-
new general" said G. G. FARES in NOV
ing the resolution and calling atten-
ton to the fact that the second NOM
nation for county attorney was given
Murphy without opposition and that
this meant something in view of the
fact that of the thirty-four members
jority are Democrats.

the high regard in which Mr.. Murphy
is held by the voters of this county,
| call attention that at the last eiec-

carried ella County by majority OF
AIT. Mr. Murphy was elected by ma
jority of 1921, although he had as an
opponent an estimable member or
