DEFENSE TEST PLAN
ON SEPT. twelfth
TO PROMOTE PEACE

With a strong state committee al
ready at work, and with the day Of
ficially designated by proclamation of
the governor, who is urging it's en-
thusiastic observance, plans for Ari-
zona's participation in the National
Defense, Test on September IL are
well under way. Assurance of their
support of the plan have already been
received from the mayors of nearly
every city and town in Arizona, and
local committees report their plans
for tn celebration are being rapidly
developed.
Planned under the National De-
fense Act of 1920 as demonstration
of the processes necessary in order to
assemble our forces for the national
defense, the test is designed to en-
able the people of each community to
see exactly the contribution they
would be required to make in order
to bear their share of the common
burden, were war to again become
necessary. In this respect the occas-
ion has been compared to great ma
tional fire drill, held entirely for the
purpose of preventing loss of life and
property should any emergency arise
in the future.
1t is universally recognized that
the lack of adequate preparation for
war cost this country thousands of
lives and millions in money in 1917
Had the present National Defense
Act been in effect and operative then
the United States would not have
been drawn into the world war. Only
our apparent indifference and help
lessness as a rich and unprepared ma
ton, it is pointed out, provoked the
attacks on our neutrality that led us
into the conflict. The defense test
on September IL, it is expected, will
serve to promote peace through max
ing clear the new national policy Of
preparedness without the expense anC
burden which a large standing arm!
would involve.

negro CHURCH and
PRESS SHOULD WORK
TOGETHER SAYS BISHOP

Washington, D. C.-The Bureau of
Public Affairs, inaugurated at the
recent general conference of the A.
M. f. Zion church, with Bishop E. D.
W. Jones, of Washington, D. c., as it's
head, sends out, in its third weekly
release, an appeal to the ministers
and laity of the church to subscribe,
support and aid Negro newspapers.
The Negro church and the Negro
press must work together in the edu-
cation of the race, not only in religion
but in policies, in social dealings, in
economics and in general uplift
movements. The bureau urges its
constituency in particular and the
race in general:
First-to read Negro newspapers.
Second-to create a demand for
them at newsstands in the country to
sell Negro papers by asking for them
weekly.
Third-to aid Negro editors to Sc
cure news of the race, its progress
and ventures by becoming volun-
tary reporter in your community. Ex-
pose injustice; tell of relationship be-
tween the races; give out important
happenings and let the world know
us through our own mediums. We
are not in position, just yet, to be-
come members of the great press as
sociations of the world, but we are
able to form voluntary news gather
ing association among ourselves. No
town should be without such a re-
porter.
Fourth-to subscribe for Negro
magazines.
Fifth-we urge our ministers ev-
erywhere to emphasize from pulpits
the necessity of having Negro news
papers in every Negro home.

The letter states on its face why it
was issued, and as Governor Hunt
points out, is contained copy of
the report of the State Examiner of
the audit of the books of the Sheriff's
Office of Maricopa County" This re-
port of the State Eaminer is mat
ter of public record and incidentally
it contains the figures which my op-
ponents have challenged.
The records of the Office of the
Sheriff of Maricopa County are open
to inspection and our business is
transacted open and above board. The
light, which some of my opponents
seem to fear, shines into the Office of
the Sheriff of Maricopa County.
My actions and deeds as Sheriff
of Maricopa County speak for them
selves. Upon this record stand,

continue to operate the Office in the
same manner that has characterized

PARTIALITY SAY
FRIENDS WILL WIN
FOR LEWKOWITz

Absolute impartiality is the single
plank chosen by Herman Lewkowitz
in building his platform as candi-
date for superior judge of Maricopa
county, subject to the wishes of the
democratic voters. This coupled with
an acknowledged mastery of the law,
an intensive practice of ten years in
Phoenix and thorough appreciation
of judicial duties, makes him one of
the most formidable candidates for
the judgship ever presented to the
voters of Maricopa county.
Lewkowitz was assistant United
States district attorney under Thorn
as A. Flynn and assistant county at
torney under L. M. Laney. The court
records of the county reveal the fact
that since engaging in the private
practice of law he has handled an ex-
ceptionally large number of both
criminal and civil suits. His bril-
liancy as a lawyer has been demon
strated by his successful defense of
some of the biggest criminal cases in
the history of the county.
Wide support is being gained for
Lewkowitz among members of the bar
who point out that a Judge should be
well versed in the rules governing
evidence and procedure, that he
should be thoroughly familiar with
legal propositions in the case before
him in order properly to instruct the
jury, that he should be cool headed
and of judicial temperament. All
these qualifications are held by this
candidate, they claim.
eff elected judge" says Lewkowitz,
" l shall act with fairness, unbiased
and unprecedented for or against any
group, creed or class and uninflu-
enced by political intrigue or favor
itisms."
Mr.. Lewkowitz has a wife and
child and is a city and county tax
payer. He was physically disquali-
fled at the opening of the war, but
later, when opportunity offered, re-
signed his post as assistant district
attorney in order to serve his country.

DIR. S. s. MORRIS, TRUSTEE
OF UNITED SOCIETY OF
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVoR

BOSTON, Mass.-At the meeting OF
the trustees of the United Society Oh
Christian Endeavor, which met in
this city July 31st at the headquar-
ters of the Christian Society, Rev.
S. S. Morris, the general secretary
of the Allen Christian Endeavor
League of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church, was in attendance.
There were twenty-five trustees. DR..
Morris is one of the few colored men
who has ever been elected trustee of
this society, which was founded
some forty odd years ago by DR..
Francis A. Clark, and which has con-
tinued to grow. The reports showed
that 2,250 new Christian Endeavor
societies were formed during the
past year. The trustees voted to
emphasize during the next year evan
gelism, stewardship, world peace,
world fellowship, remembrance at
Christmas time of the shut-ins and
old folks, etc. Citizenship Day Oct
ober 10th, will be featured in all
Christian Endeayor societies.
July 4-9th was fixed as the date
for the 1925 International Conven-
tion, for which budget of $4,000
was made The trustees stopped at
the Commonwealth Hotel and lunch

ture under his direction, a personal
tribute as most of the supervisors and
commissioners were democrats.
In 1921 when the depression came
Maddox reused public sentiment
which forced reluctant legislature
to pass the Omnibus Road Bill which
provided funds to put many of the
idle laborers of the state to work. No
increase in taxation for the two years
period occurred as the bill provided
for a reduction the succeeding year
to compensate for the temporary In
crease.
In 1922 he was elected president of
the Western Society of State High
way officials. Maddock's activity in
behalf of good roads and schools an
tagonized some of the large mining
interests of the state and forces led
by James S. Douglas sought to en-
barass him. Newspapers controlled
by the mining interests began an at
tack on his ability and integrity
Maddox welcomed the attack and
permitted the auditors of the mining
companies to go over his books and
record. They failed to find anything
on which to even make political at
tack during the election of 1922.
With the Inauguration of Governor
Hunt and the meeting, of an over
whelming democratic legislature the
attack on Maddox was renewed. An
appropriation of $4,000 was made to
investigate the highway department.
Chicago auditors, Los Angeles engi-
neers and numerous detectives were
employed. They Investigated for fif-
teen months and then the legislative
committee made report in general
tiles, admitted they could find no evil
dence of criminal nature against
Maddox but suggested two of the
thousands of highway employees
might possibly be guilty. The legis-
lative committee still owe the investi-
gators some $4,000.
Maddock's reply and challenge to
the Democratic leaders to prosecute
was unanswered. The failure of the
committee to act is particularly sig
nificant in that the prosecuting at
torney, the sheriff who would select
the jury, the judge who would try
the case were all democrats and the
party leaders undoubtly desired to
discredit the man responsible for the

Jno. W. Ray, Old Time
Southern Democrat
For Superior Judge

In presenting his claims for the
nomination before the Democratic
primary for the office of Judge of the
Superior Court, John w. Ray insists
that his qualifications are superior
to his opponents because of his age,
experience and education. He begun
the study of law while a boy by going
into the clerks Office of the court,
where his father was clerk. He was
in the Office IL years and was clerk
at the age of %, by appointment of
the legislature creating Carlisle
county, Kentucky In 1886 he was
licensed to practice law after an ex-
animation.
In 1895 after he had practiced law
nine years, he went to Cornell uni
versity law school. Then he secured
the position of law clerk for judge
of the Court of Appeals which he held
for six years, writing cases. He was
actively engaged in practice for about
IL years exclusively before the Court
of Appeals in Kentucky, in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals and
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
He also defended Lucy Hall, see
81 Southwestern Reporter 814, who
had been sentenced for life term for
stealing $4,000, third conviction,
without fee or hope of reward. He
secured the release of Bob Channels,
100 Southwestern 214, after he had
been convicted and served ten years
in prison. Also released ten other
life termers on habeas corpus, from
the pen and charged no one over $25,
because they were poor people. He
never deserted a client, nor refused
to defend any one because he was
poor, nor refused to bring suit be-
cause his fee was not paid in ad-
vance. He plays no favorites now
and will not if elected.
His ability as a lawyer was recog-
nized in 1898 when he represented
the Democratic party of the State
in a test suit to determine the valid
ity of an election law.
1t is such cases as these extending
over a wide range of cases and sub
jects and covering period of 36
years active practice that Judge Ray
insists give him superior qualifica-
tions as compared with his oppon.

road construction, the outstanding
feature of Campbell's administration.
Maddox in January 1923, was the
first to suggest compromise be-
tween those favoring and those op-
posing a Colorado river compact by
accepting the Santa Fe Pact after a
supplemental agreement is approved
by the Lower Basin states protecting
Arizona. He was appointed ly Gov.
ernor Hunt one of a committee Of
nine to investigate the Colorado ques-
tion. He opposed the committee's
report signed by Governor Hunt
which was submitted to the federal
power commission as it necessitated
a gigantic bond issue. In general he
believes that Arizona cannot control
the Colorado alone but must cooper
ate with the other states and the fed
eral government, while retaining her
rights to her own rivers, part of the
Colorado and the right Of taxation.
Most of the people of the tate are
beginning to accept Mr.. Maddock's
view point.
Maddock's ability and vision is ad-
mitted by both friends and enemies.
His integrity emerged untarnished
from $4,000 investigation. He is
experienced in the business of gov
ernment. He has demonstrated de-
votion and self sacrifice to ARI-
IONA. What more can be wanted
from a candidate?
