 Little to Offer in 1922
 In comparison with the political nothing of interest to offer the people in this good year 1922. Judge w. ". Brandon and Colonel Blob Graves have been before the people for several weeks. Political address es are being made each day. but there Is little interest. Evidently it is due to the fact that long ago Judge Brandon was looked upon as the certainty for the nomination Colonel Graves has been fighting valientiy from the time he announced in an effort to overcome the Brandon strength. His friends have declared he has made great progress. Colonel Graves himself declared during the week that his friends were showing unusual interest and the progress of his campaign was satisfactory ID himself.
 Colonel Graves has made the fight against great odds. His close friends fear it will not be possible to over come the great lead which Judge Brandon obtained during the many weeks when people believed ne would receive the democratic nomi- nation without opposition. For more than year it seemed that he would do the impossible and obtain the nomination without making a fight Colonel Graves entered the race tho evening before the state democratic executive committee met in Mont gomery to plan for the primary.
 Brandon Confident
 "Opposition has not hurt me in the least" said Judge Brandon when he stopped in Montg for rest this week The victory is sure thanks to the activities of my friends throughout the state. However, 1t Is my intention to continue the cam paign until the primary. I want to see the voters before the primary. l want to let them know before l am nominated what I shall seek to do for them when I am inaugurated. I want to let them know there will be servant, not a master of the people, in the chief executives position. l want to assure them that my heart and body and mind will be conse- crated to the pleasant task of doing their bidding"
 Colonel Graves declared that
 great progress had been made

 Mr. Mo 6nn onnlo~i1al jecting local state politics into his address, but gave as an ex- tenuating circumstance the fact that he had personally known Geo. w. F. Hunt for number of years, when both were oc- cupying important positions of trust-Mr. McAdoo as Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and Mir. Hunt as Cover nor of the State of Arizona. Mir.
