Ellinwood was introduced By
Senator Hardy who is active in
supporting him in his campaign
Hardy, well known to the PEG.
pie of this city, outlined his be
lief in the capacity of Ellinwood
to hold the office of governor
and in his ability to administer in
manner pleasing to the people
of the state. He declared Ellin-
wood was one of the leading
lawyers and bankers of the state
and at this moment Arizona need
ed the services Of a man with a
thorough training in law and bank
ing.
Mr.. Ellinwood, after giving an
interesting history of his life,
', urged the development of the
Colorado river as a whole. coun-
selling that the development start
at the source of the river instead
of at the mouth, but reminding
the voters that the ratification Of
supplementary agreement lay
first in the hands of the state
legislature, then in the hand of
the people of Arizona, to whom
he would submit it for a vote be-
fore it was acted upon.
Hits State Expenses
State expenditures, said Elm
wood, are at the present moment
being carried to a point which is
entirely useless, the major portion
being made with the intent Of fos-
tering and securing one mans po-
litical future. The candidate de-
clared he had no political future
to safeguard, and that he could
approach the office of governor
with an independent mind, free
from obligations to anyone. This,
Ellinwood declared, would permit
him to make his appointments con
the basis of merit alone" and not
because some man was connected
with ga block Of votes"
The candidate arrived in No
gales after a trip through Cochise
county, which, according to George
Rockhill, Of Bisbee, who is accom-
panying him, was the most sue
cessful campaign ever carried on
in that territory by any candidate.
"Ellinwood will carry Cochise
county by large majority" Rock
hill said, land he will also have a
much bigger vote in ella county
than any other candidate has ever
polled there against Governor
Hunt. The sentiment in Globe
especially, has turned toward Ell
linwood from Governor Hunt.
The result will be astounding to
the governors party"
Enroute from Bisbee to No
gales, Mr.. Ellinwood stopped in
Wilcox and in spite Of the fact
that several other candidates were
in town at the time, including one
Of the Republican candidates for
governor, he filled the largest
theater with listeners in what was
said to be the biggest political
meeting held in Wilcox over q
long period Of years. People from
many Of the smaller settlements
and mining camps about the coun-
ty drove miles to hear him speak.
Speaks at Patagonia
"Later Thursday passing thru
Patagonia at the request Of the
Ellinwood for Governor club Of
Santa Cruz county, he stopped at
Patagonia to give a short address
there. Because Of It being poor
time Of day for people to leave
their work, small results were ex-
pected, but good sized crowd
gathered to hear Ellinwood talk,
and after the address to hold an
informal reception for the man
they termed sour next governor"
Rockhill declared that both CO.
chise and Santa Cruz county
would poll larger Democratic
vote for Ellinwood on September
Z than has ever before been given
to one man in either county. This,
he said, would also be true IN the
north, where Yavapai and Coco
nino counties are in an equal po-
sition.
eve have met with an excellent
reception throughout the state"
Rockhill declared, "and while We
do not assert the election Is over,
we do believe that Ellinwood is in
a position to lead the Democratic
race. The voters in every north
ern county have expressed their
confidence in his ability, and are
ready to back that belief at the
