HON. CHARLES B. WARD.

club of Phoenix, presents to the voters of the state, a short his. tory of the life of Hon. Charles B. Ward, Depocratic candidate for the nomination for governor. as follows:
 Mr Ward was born in Bridge port, Illinois, in 1870. His father died when the boy was three years old. He attended the common schools of Illinois until the age of fourteen when his mother died. He then trav- eled alone to Kansas, where, as young lad he commenced work as night wrangler of mules and OK teams, hauling goods overland from Kansas railway points to the Texas Panhandle. l His next work was with COW out it's travelling north over the Na tional Trail. Upon reaching Colorado, he became a rider with one of the large COW ranches, working at that occupation some time and following anything a young mau could do until he reached the age of twenty one years when he began the study of law. Three years later, he was admitted to the bar and has actively engaged in the practice of his profession ever since.
 About the time that he was admitted to the bar, he was mar ried to Mary Chevalicr of An nandale, Minn. Of this ,sunion, three children were born, two of whom died, and the oldest. @ daughter, resides with her father in Phoenix.
 In 1904, on account of illness of his wife, Mr. Ward brought his family to Arizona, and they resided here until the death of Mrs. Ward. in 1911. In Decem Der, 1910, MT. Ward purchased his home on the Indian School Road outside of Phoenix, and opened his law offices in the City of Phoenix. He has large eli | entele among the farmers of the country, and the business men of the city, his practice being a general one.
 Mr. Ward entered political life while yet a young man, making political speeches when he was twenty one.
 In 1899, he was elected State Senator from Boulder county, Colorado, for term of four years and served during that time in two regular and two special sessions. At the time of his nomination, Democratic paper which was supporting an other candidate, took occasion in an editorial to pay tribute to Mir. Ward as young man.
 This editorial we wish to quote. The article is taken from the Daily Camera of Boulder, Colo rado, 1899. and is as follows:
 "Charles B. Ward, nominee trod uction. He is a young at torney of tact. energy, ability and a man of unsullied reputa- tion Mir. Ward is more-he cones from the people direct. Charley Ward is self made man in all that the term implies. He has labored with his hands. be borrowed books to study law, he burned the midnight oil to acquire Knowledge, when others devoted their nights to gayety and receptions. There was never a frivilous moment in this young attorneys life. Denied the ad ventitious accessories of fortune, he laughed at fate, and bent his head closer to his books. Poor, he struggled on. Lacking aca- demic education in the schools, he made man his study, books and best journals his study, un- failing courtesy and loyalty to principle his guiding stars.
 Every cent Charley Ward ever accumulated, he came hon estly by. The bar respects him for uniform courtesy and for his avoidance of questionable prac- tice though poverty would have suggested in the earlier years of practice the insinuating claims of a doubtful clientage. His de votion to principle has led him never away from the principles of the true Democracy.
 The above article is just a sample of many other articles that thereafter were written of him throughout hls political life. In the Colorado Senate, Mir.
