STOCKTON MAKES STRONG
PLEA FOR ELLINWOOD

Henderson Stockton of Phoenix yig-
orously assailed Governor Hunts at
titude on the Colorado river pact at
the OrpheumP theatre Monday night
before a crowded house. Stockton,
advocating the nomination of e. e.
Ellinwood, charged that Governor
Hunt was at first neutral as to the
compact and claimed it was matter
for the legislature to settle as the
governor was but a ministerial Off
GER. At that time he could have killed
it by his influence among the mem
bers of the legislature. Later he was
against the pact but had recommend
ed the granting of a permit for the
Diamond Creek dam. He pointed to
the official records showing the gov
ernor's message to the legislature in
proof of his attitude at that time.
Stockton made strong argument
in favor of Ellinwood and pointed
out that his success in life was come
about through his own efforts and
he had made a record any father or
mother would be proud to have their
son achieve.
He called the attention to the fact
that Gov. Hunt had decried the use
of newspaper advertising in the be-
gining of the campaign but was using
a vast amount of it now and was out
doing his opponents. Stockton SEEM
ed to please his audience.

COX IS FOR IMMEDIATE
BUILDING GLEN CANYON
CULORADO RIVER DAM

That j. J. Cox, democratic candi-
date for governor, is fer the immed-
late development Of the Colorado nv
er, first through the building of a
Dam 1T Glen Canyon, following this
up with a diversion dam al farker
and other developments wherever
and Whenever needed, is the anounce-
ment IN 1 page advertisement in this
issue OF The Sun.
Cox is against delay He has auth
orized Win maTlar Of Flagstaff to
announce his views regarding the de-
velopment of the Colorado, and the
latter does so in the advertisement
above referred to.
The development of the Colorado
river is vital to the progress and de-
velopment of the state, Mr.. Cox be-
lieyes, which view is in agreement
with the opinion held by the majority
OF the voters in this state. That de-
velopment should begin with a dam
at Glen Canyon is the opinion of
+. c. Larue, who probably of all gov
ernment engineers is the one best in
formed concerning the Colorado river.
Naturally Coconino county people, be-
lieying Glen Canyon is the place for
the first dam, and realizing that
building it there would mean much 80
the prosperity and growth of this
county, are impatient Of delay and
anxious that actual building shall be-
gin at the earliest possible moment.

Commerce members at the regular
meeting Wednesday night in the
Woman's club, winter sports COM
mittee will be appointed by President
P. j. Moran with orders. to proceed
with the plans for the winters pro-
gram, these activities to include to-
bogganing, skiing, skating, ice-boat-
ing on Lake Mary and sleighing. A
comprehensive report on winter sports
supplied by the United States Cham
Der of Commerce, was made by Sec
retary Margaret K. Stewart in which
was included the various costs of such
programs as given by some 20 cities
now having such a plan in force.
Many novel and unique ideas were
presented in this report and it was the
concensus of opinion that Flagstaff,
with her natural resources which can
be developed during the winter as well
as in the summer should be put to
work to bring people from the south
land here in the cold season.
Many felt that. the months of Feb
ruary, March and April should be
looked forward to with keen antici-
patton rather than dread, for on ac-
count Of our strategical position on
top of the mountain, Flagstaff can
easily be the winter playground of the
southwest. The secretary reported
that all Chambers of Commerce in
the southern part of the state have
voiced their desire to cooperate with
Flagstaff if this winter program was
undertaken. assuring us that they will
do everything possible to advertise it
and send people our way.
In discussing the Lees Ferry bridge
and the road from Cameron to the
proposed crossing, President Moran
said that the state highway depart
ment had reported that work was be-
ing done at the present time to as
certain the best crossing for the
bridge. In this connection, the high
way department said that a proposed
site would be definitely decided upon
within the next two weeks and pic
lures and drawings made and public
ity started through the medium of the
state highway magazines.
estate Highway Engineer Lefebvre
said we must get busy on the publicity
from our enU, SAID Mr. MORAN, Tor
the bridge situation is not generally
understood throughout the state. Lee
febyre urged every resident of Coco
nino county to broadcast tirelessly
concerning the Lees Ferry bridge for
only through publicity can this north
and south highway be assured"
The matter of traffic being directed
over the Navajo-Hopi road and east
to Winslow without going through
Flagstaff, was brought to the atten-
tion of the members by E. 7. McGon-
igle, who said he had been on the road
and talked with motorists who had
been directed that way from Grand
Canyon. The matter was referred
back to the secretary for investiga-
ton.
Membership chairman Frank Good
man reported that during the past
week the membership had been in
creased from 80 to 126 and that the
committee will continue in an effort to
bring the membership up to 200.
Professor Grady Gammage reported
that Mrs. T. A. Stahl, representative
of the library board, is in New York
