of municipal control Mayor Frank A.
jefferson wants for Phoenix.
In announcing himself a candidate
for election to succeed himself as
mayor of this city, Mr.. Jefferson
comes out flatly and positively
against political turmoil factional
fights, government behind the scenes,
and declares for "a municipal gov

The present government is con-
Quoting municipal affairs in that
manner, says Mayor Jefferson, and
he believes a political fight at this
time would do more TO retard the
present steady growth of Phoenix
than any other one thing.
I'VE are steadily augmenting the
number of our citizens by the addi-
ton daily of the very best people
from other parts of the country, at
tracted here by the fact that we are
concertedly pulling together for the
upbuilding Of this city instead of in
dulging in political disputes and fac
tional fights" says Mayor Jefferson
further
The mayor sees no need at this
time for a political upheaval. He
takes the position that the present
administration has always been open
to inspection, that it has been we'll
conducted, that affairs have been ad-
ministered in the interests of all the
taxpay ayers-hence should be contin-
ued.
Mayor Jefferson was a member of
the City Commission for nearly two
years. On January 1 of this year he
was chosen from among the commits
