ROUS|NC SPEECH
ON DEMOCRATIC
BASIC PRINCIPLES

The Democrats of Winslow and vi
cinity had large and enthusiastic
rally Thursday night There was
some disappointment at the non-ap-
pearance of Senator Ashurst, but the
announcement that the senator was
sick as result of ptomaine poison
ing was sufficient for the audience,
as Senator Ashurst has the reputation
of never missing an appointment
when it is physically possible to meet
it.
Judge Henry ID. Ross was detained
on legal business which could not be
postponed.
DR.. Geo. w. Sampson presided and
introduced the speakers, and after lis
tening to the excellent and rousing
speeches of Wayne Hubbs, candidate
for state treasurer; Tom G. Foster,
candidate for mine inspector, and
the old time democratic speech of
Judge Stanley White of Phoenix, the
audience went away cheering and
with new confidence.
Wayne Hubbs of Mohave county
was the first speaker. His remarks
flee to which he aspires, the extreme
Importance to the people of the state
of the efficient and honest manage
ment of that office.
Tom c. Foster made more extend
ed address and one which aroused
much enthusiasm by it's earnest and
strong appeal to the Democratic
voters to vote the Democratic ticket
from top to bottom. He stressed the
Importance of the office of mine in
spector to the whole mining industry,
both mine owners and mine workers,
and pointed out the derelictions OF
the past mine inspectors and the
criminal negligence of those whose
duty it is to see that proper meas
ures are taken to protect both the
liven and health of the miners and
the property of the mine owners.
Old-Time Democratic Speech
Judge Stanley White of Phoenix
was the last and principal speaker of
the evening. A large part off his adj
dress was devoted to the tariff ques-
ton and ther ecords Of the Demo-
cratic and Republican administra-
tions and to an exposition of the car
80.
dinal doctrines of democracy as OPP
posed to the class and capitallst1c
doctrines of the republicans.
The address was one of the best and
most eloquent that has been heard in
Winslow in years, and was listened
to with the greatest attention and
much enthusiasm by the audience
The eulogy Of President Wilson
and the praise of the record OF Sec
retary McAdoo aroused prolonged
cheering.
Judge White announced that he
had been a supporter of Mr.. Ward in
the primaries, but he declared that
he supported George w. P. Hunt with
the utmost enthusiasm and that the
best interests of the state and the
well-being of the people demanded
the election of Hunt, Hayden and
Ashurst.

AMERICAN LEGION
NEWS AND NOTES

Folks, Armistice Day is approach
ing, and please don't forget that about
the 7th of November, 1918, you were
false alarm spread telling about the
cease firing. However, the boys
at the front were going still; no one
turned back until after the 18th. Do
not forget those who laid down their
lives that you might live. The COM
mander of the Frank Perkins Post
desires to send the following mes
sage:
ITO the Citizens of Winslow
1t was four years ago that the
citizens and armed forces of the
United States, prompted by the spirit
Of victory, declared holiday on No
vember II to celebrate the cessation
Of hostilities and the termination of
h etmos terri bleconfl ictinthe
the most terrible conflict in the his
rtoy of humanity-the World War.
Armistice Day ranks second only to
the Fourth of July in the hearts of
Americans, as day for Thanksgiving
and celebration--as a day symbolic
ing the victory of democracy over
injustice and Oppression-the godly
justice of right over might.
"Armistice Day has been declared a
legal holiday by the legislature of
Arizona, but more truly let it be q
prompted by the hearts of all
Americans. Let the worries and tu-
multi of business and industry be for
gotten for the day-let all of the citi-
zens of Winslow join in celebration.
"The American Legion in America,
representing the ex-service men
adm women of the World War, most
earnestly ask that all places of busi-
ness be closed November II and that
the celebration and observance of Ar
mistice Day be entered into by the
entire citizenry of the great State of
Arizona. Respectfully,

ROSS AND HONOR
SYNONYMOUS TERMS

The average voter hears very little
of what is done by the supreme court
of the State of Arizona. 1t is seldom
that it's opinions appear in the news
papers beyond a brief mention of the
cases decided, except when some
question of great public interest hap
pens to be decided.
The Supreme Court of the State of
Arizona is one of the three branches
/ Of our state government, and is prob
ably the most important branch of our
government, because it deals with
justice. 1t is the arbitrator in the
affairs of men and women 1t passes
upon questions relating to the daily
intercourse and commerce. between
the people.
Chief Justice Henry d. Ross was
elected as a member of the Supreme
Court in the first state election, and
was reelected when he ran the Sec
ond time. He is again candidate
fer this exalted office.
No taint of scandal has ever at
tached itself to the name of Judge
Ross, or to any other member of the
Supreme Court of the State of Ari-
zona. The decisions Of the court
have been uniformly just Judge Ross
has written 40 per cent of the decis-
ions handed down by the supreme
court. He has been tireless, dill
gent, faithful and honest official.
States do not change their supreme
judges frequently, and that is sound
public policy. When a court is respon-
sfve to the will Of the people and
it's decisions conform to constitutional
law, changing judges is bad policy.
Judge Ross, by his years of service,
has become a valuable official-too
valuable or the state to lose. 1t is
imperative that the voters on Novem-
ber seek his name in the non-parti-
san column at the top of the ballot
and put an X after his name to insure
his continuation as a justice Of the
Supreme Court of. Arizona.

W|NSLOW DEFEATS
HOLbROOK l0-7

In close and hardfought game on
Holbrook's' home field, the WinslOw
High football team succeeded in gain
ing a 10-7 decision over their rival.
The team was materially weakened
by the loss of Sutherland, half-back,
but found another man who can be
depended upon for points. : Rushing
booted a field goal from the thirty
yard line against stiff wind and
later scored a touchdown after 20
yard dash around end.
Winslow relied upon straight foot
ball, which proved good enough to
win, with Thornton, Rushing and
Williams carrying the ball for good
gains. Holbrook has greatly i'm
proved team, but lacks something yet
of the class and power of the Wins
low boys.

CAMPBELL DODCES
THE Main ISSUES
OF THE CAMPAIGN

Governor Thomas 4. Campbell, in
his recent speeches, is reminiscent of
little girl Ca little boy would not
do it) who, when called to account
for her shortcomings, stood in the
corner and sang that beautiful little
ballad:
"They always pick OH me;
They won't ever let me be-"
Which leads us to his excellencys
alibi in connection with his malad-
ministration of the states finances.
especially with reference to the Cen
trail Bank.
The governor complains that the
issues have been changed. He says:
First it was extravaganza of the ad-
ministration, then Travelling Tom.
anw now the Central Bank"
1t is all that, and much more. The
issues don't change; they have been
the same from the beginning, except
that Governor Campbell has tried to
dodge and shift his ground He tried
to start flank movement on the !.
W. w. scare, manufactured by repub-
lican politicians. The trouble is that
the governor finds himself compelled
to reply to definite facts and does not
like it.
Evasion is impossible. Governor
Campbell says: ''The Central Bank
was accepted as depository by Gov
ernor Hunt"
Correct! But, Governor Campbell
permitted the law to be changed in
1919, which allowed the Central
Finance Corporation to write bonds
to guarantee state deposits, based on
worthless mining stock and similar
securities. The bank was sound un-
der the Hunt administration, but was
undermined by Senate Bill No. 100,
approved by Governor Campbell.
The governor does not explain the
fact that the three hundred thousand
dollar bond written by the Central
Finance corporation, which he re-
ceived from the state treasurer on
June 6, 1920, and which he says was
disapproved July 2S, 1920, was NOT
RETURNED TO THE TREASURER'S
OFFICE UNTIL A FORMAL DEMAND
WAS MADE ON JANUARY 6, 1921, by
the new state treasurer, Raymond
Earhart The law is specific; it says
that bonds shall be filed in the office
of the state treasurer" Governor
Campbell says: If such concern as
the Central Finance Corporation was
considered sound by the Corporation
Commission, naturally the governor
must assume that it is. l had no rea-
son to suspect that the company did
not have sufficient backing to make
good it's bonds" What a pitiable
evasion! What an insignificant de-
fenSe!
On July 2. 1920, about month
after Treasurer Ross had transmitted
the 100000 bond to Governor Camp
| bell, Campbell wrote Ross taking him
to task for objecting to an added
$150,000 bond in the Central nance
FCorporation.> Ross based his objec-
ton to said bond on the fact that the
| $S00,000 bond in Campbell's hands, to-
gether with other bonds in said Cen
trail Finance Corporation, which were
already approved by the governor
thus establishing ap recedent. were
all the paper the state could safely
carry of said Central Finance Corpor-
alton.

MAY SNEE PIERCE
IS winner OF MAIL
BEAUTY CONTEST
COUNTED OUT by BUNGLJNG OF,
FAIR COMMISSION In STAGING
OF THE CONTEST.

The WinSlow Mail State Fair
Beauty Contest closed at noon Satur-
day with ar ush of votes. The inter-
est had reached a high state of ex-
citement, and the two favorites were
backed to the limit by their friends.
May Snee Pierce was the winner by
10000 votes over her nearest com
petitor The standing as ascertained
by the judges was:
May Snee Pierce ....,. .303,4 400
Janetta La Prade .............. .o73,YOO
NWa D0Ner -...-....-.-.-..............lOO lou, 500
Millie Lee (HOlbro0k) ........ 1O,SOO
The contest was conducted in good
spirit and in good faith by The Mail,
and left no unpleasantness except
that Winslow's favorite was counted
out by the State Fair Commission.
When arrangements were made
with The Winslow Mail by repre-
sentative of the State Fair Commits
sion for contest to decide who
should be the representative of Nav
a1o county in the contest for the
honor of being Queen of Beauty at
the State Fair, it was understood
that the Mail was to be the only medi-
um for deciding that question, and
with this understanding this paper
undertook the contest. There was no
understanding with him or with any
one else that other papers we're to
put on a contest, and The Mail was
In absolute ignorance of any other
contest or contestants and knew
nothing about them or the conditions
under which they were being con-
Quoted.
No one was more surprised than
The Mail when informed by The State
Fair Commission that the certified
winner of The Mail contest had not
won. but that another contestant i'm
another contest had been certified
with more votes than our own.
1t is apparent that contest can
not be fairly conduetcdo when there
are no rules binding the parties par
lticipating. We have no way to count
our votes against theirs nor they
against ours. The air FCommissicn
awarded the prize upon the face of
the returns arbitrarily With no reck-
oning of the value of the votes in
TIC IWO COulGSbS. CFCu LuC NOttc
been figured on the same basis of
value, the Winslow candidate would
have won.
The whole affair was very badly
bungled by the Fair Commission, and
we will always feel that a square
deal was not given to The Winslow
Mail and to the winner of the contest.
The Mail offered trip to the Fair
with all expenses to the winner, but
she rigbtfully declined feeling that
all the kick had been taken OUT OF
the affair when we we're counted out.
No one regrets the outcome of the
affair more than The Mail does, and
we were willing to do everything in
our power to remedy situation for
which we feel we we're in no particle
to blame.
/ We will say this, however that
there may have been method in the
scheme. for there is no doubt what
ever that we would have had Wins
low Queen of the Fair" had our ia
vorite been allowed to enter.
