Maddox Logical Man
To Lead Republicans

A prominent republican of Winslow
in speaking of the different candidates
in the field for nomination in the pri-
mary election, said, relative to the
gubernatorial election in this state:
Maddox is the logical republican
candidate for governor. He is an en-
gineer. The two big problems con-
fronting the people of Arizona are
highway transportation and the devel-
opment of the Colorado river. These
are both engineering questions. Mad
dock laid out and constructed most of
the state highway system. He had
arranged for financing the remainder.
Despite plagiaristic claims to the
contrary he was the first to suggest
a practical solution of the Colorado
river problem. He courageOusly ad-
vanced his idea when it was unpop-
ular but most of the candidates and
voters are now accepting it
Maddox is the logical man to Op-
pose the democratic nominee. While
others talk business administration. :"
recognition only Of merit" etc,
Maddox carried ,.out these ideas for
four years instlfe highway department
HE has more democratic and non
partisan admirers than any republi-
can and many of these voters support

REASON RETURNS

LULLED with resentment at the un-
u success of William G. McAdoo to
secure the democratic nomination for
president at the New York convention
following political battle which they
had felt had been unduly influenced by
interests opposed to the good of the
country, great many of the voters
of Winslow, because of their impa-
tience and distrust in the nomination
of a man little known to the west to
be the leader of the democracy in this
momentous election, largely gave en-
couragement to the opportune polit-
ical grasping of the radical element in
American politics, and refused to in
form themselves of what manner of
man had been selected in McAdoo's
stead after the delegates learned that
McAdoo's nomination was impossible.
In Winslow McAdoo was the uni
versal candidate. Democrats, repub-
licans, socialists-all aided in uphold
ing his banner. Well-known, admired
and well-liked by a great number of
residents here-even a close friend to
many-his failure was interpreted as
a failure of popular government, and
the occasion to demand complete
and decided change in the accepted
policies of our nation.
Throughout the country, as in Wins
low, those who had espoused the
cause of progressiveness in comfort
gave comfort to the party appealing
to their enormous dissatisfaction with
the reactionary tendencies of the party
in power, and for a time country
wide revolt ragged against the republi-
can administration in favor of a third
party-a political wildfire burning
fiercely through forests of the voters
ambitious for their nations welfare.
However a defeat more triumphant
than victory" appears to have been
the outcome of the nomination of John
w. Davis to lead the democracy and
the real progressives. John W. Davis,
the statesman and diplomat; John w.
Davis, the man, is becoming known to
the people of the country, especially
to the people of the west, and by his
present words and past deeds is en-
dearing himself to students of the
political situation and by his cool
calmness is beating back the flames
Of discomfort, and those who are par
tial to progress and cleanliness over
stagnation and corruption are enlist
ing in his crusade.
In line with the return to sanity
throughout the nation, the voters of
Winslow are beginning to learn their
error at having accepted immature
gods, and are learning trust in the
country's real leader of progress.
To justify their new-found hope and
trust they are organizing more effec-
lively to crusade for the holy grail of
national purity. 1t is expected that
within a few days the Winslow Davis
club will be in full working order.
Many have expressed a desire to join
such an organization, and no doubt
the movement will crystalline with the
recruiting of the enthusiastics among
the rapidly widening ranks of Davis
admirers and supporters.

The Alabama legislature last summer made the city of Birmingham it's own agent and gave it a free hand in se- lecting and setting up it's form of gov ernment, Hunter Armstrong and l.. K. Bowen, leaders of the movement to end commission rule, declared in state ment Wednesday.
 Bowen, who served as one of this county's representatives, cited and act passed by the assembly, in support of the contention that the anti-commission movement will not require further legis- lAtive action before changes can become operative.
 All details of the plan for a return to the mayor-aldermanic system have been drawn up petitions for an initia- tive election will be in circulation in less than a week, and an advisory com mittee of 15 or 20 leading men and women will be appointed at once to help direct the campaign, Armstrong and Bowen announced.

 The plan provides for the popular election of a mayor and 34 aldermen and two recorders. All other officials would be named by the general council,
 Effective Next Year
 If the voters favor the change, the new system will become effective next year when the terms of the present city commissioners expire, Mir. Arm strong said.
 Armstrong declared the election pc titions would contain around 15,000 names when presented to Probate Judge J. P. Stiles for checking against regis tration lists.
 After Judge Stiles certifies the lists, they will be presented to the city com mission, and it will have no alternative except to call an election.

 Petitions asking a referendum will be posted in most all drug stores in the city, Armstrong and Bowen said. Meetings in various community centers twill be held to give the people the op- portunity to discuss details of the pro posed changes.
 Complete plans for the opening mass gathering will be ready early next week, leaders of the movement said.

In an effort to clear. up the general freight rate readjustment being advo- cated in Alabama for fruits and veg etables, the Birmingham Traffic asso- citation Wednesday prepared to file two formal complaints before the state pub lie service commission touching on rates for apples, oranges and lemons.
 One complaint involves the rate on shipments of apples seeking to bring charges on baskets to the same level with those on barrels and boxes The second complaint asks the establish ment of lower carload commodity rates on oranges and lemonsl At the present time the only rates Birmingham pro- duce dealers enjoy are class rates which are unfair in compefitfop with other points, c.

FRAUD SCHOOLS
 WARNED AGAINST
Imposters Said To Pose : As Civil Service
 Instructors

Joint warning has been issued by the National Vigilance committee of the As sociated Advertising Clubs of America, of which there is a branch in Birming- ham, and the United States civil service commission against the so-called civil service instruction schools"
 By cleverly worded inferences in their advertisements, untruths are being sent out among the public, local board officials declare, and numerous com plaints against their operation have been received.
 In an open letter to newspapers and civil service boards, William c. Deming president of the commission, says Many of the so-called civil service schools deceive the public through their advertising. Some of them seek to give, and do give, the impression that they have governmental connections, or have inside" information on examina- tion questions.
 This commission receives numerous letters from disappointed students, who demand of the commission the return of money paid for "tuition."
 The national committee of the ad. vertising clubs has issued similar state. ments, and adds: Hundreds of per sons of limited means are enrolled each year in these schools, under the CT roneous impression that they will re ceive lucrative positions in the govern ment service upon completion of the course. success of which is guaranteed
 In a strong warning to the public to beware of these schools, the civil service commission and vigilance com mittee emphasize the following:
 ''No.-rschool of this- kind, has any connection whatever with the civil service commission or with any other branch of the government.
 "No school can give advance infor nation regarding examination ques tions.
 "No school can furnish civil service information of value that cannot be ob tained without cost from the civil service commission at Washington, or it's representatives in any of approxi mately $500 cities.
 No school can guarantee appoint ment in the classified civil service. Alp pointment can be obtained only through open competitive examination under the civil service rules. No school car cause competitor to be certified -fol appointment out of the regular order as determined by his examination rat ing"
 The civil service commission points out that large numbers of applications for examinations received at it's office indicate that many civil service schools accept as clients and take money from practically illiterate persons who could not possibly pass any kind of exami nation.
