CHAs. B. WARD VISITS MORALES
Democratic Candidate for Governor
 Addresses Large Audiance

Before a large audiance of Santa Cruz county voters, many of whom were ladies, Hon. Char les B. Ward of Phoenix, Demo cratic candidate for the nomina- tiOn for governor, at the Royal theatre last Thursday night, de livered one of the best political addresses ever heard in this city.
 Notwithstanding the heavy rain, hundreds of Republicans and Democrats were present to honor the distinguished gentle man who would be the standard bearer of the Democratic hosts of the great state of Arizona.
 Judge Frank J. Duffy, in his usual earnest, pleasing manner, as chairman of the meeting, prior to introd ucing Mr. Ward. took to task Former GoverLor Hunt for remarks made by that gentle man in a.speech made here re gently.
 Judge Duffy stated that the remarks of MT. Hunt were "un fair to the delegates who attend ed the Tucson conference, unfair to Mr. Ward and unfair to him self" (Duffy), he having presided at the conference where MT. Ward was endorsed.
 "The men and women who at tended the Tucson conference, were sent there by representa- tive Democratic voters of the counties from which they came ,,-4o-fr@1l0l l independent" said Judge Duffy, who also stated that the dele gates came to the Tucson con- ference with one object in view, that being to bring about har- mony and a progressive plat form.
 In his speech, MT. Ward dis cussed the proposed amendments to the state constitution, declar- ing for the farmers co operative marketing amendment, because of it's fairness to every body.
 MT. Ward is making clean campaign. He does not believe in mud slinging or personal abuse. He stated that many people throughout the state had told him that the clean manner in which Mir. Hunt, his oppon- ent, and himself, were carrying on their campaign, was pleasing to the citizens and if nothing else was accomplished. politics in the Democratic ranks had been placed on a higher plane in the state during this campaign than ever before.
 He believes that political pro- mises should be kept and the candidates should not make pro mises which they cannot or do not intend to keep.
 MT. Ward stated that if elect ed, he will hold but one term and will not be candidate for re election. That the office is of such high order that every Dem ocrat should have a right to aspire to it. That by not being a candidate for re election, a candidate, neither he nor his ap- pointees will attempt to build up a personal political machine to assist him in any further ambi | tion. That no political machine | has ever been built that was not l built at the expense of the peo 1 pie of the state.
 MT. Ward stated that through ] ont the state he had talked with | candidates for the senate and | house and had exacted pledges i from them that they would prac- tice economy if elected to office. He also said that in the various cities that he visits, he makes it a. point to call on the officials and urges them to practice economy.
 He said that any Democrat Or Republican, who registered for the opposite party for an ulterior motive, would bear watching." A person should be as sincere in political life as in personal life, and those who regis tered for ulterior motives were not fit to be called good citizens.
 In closing his splendid address MT. Ward stated that if he were defeated at the Septem Der pr1- maries, he would support MT. Hunt with the same vigor that he has in the past. e
