ELLINWOOD RUNNING STRONG

ed, Judge Franklin states, and
at the meetings in Winslow, Co
conino and Flagstaff, employees
of the state who had driven
state cars. were on hand to try
to arouse Hunt sentiment. De
spite their organized efforts how.
ever, the judge found that the
governor is rapidly losing
ground while the rising tide Of
votes for Ellinwood is most i'm
pressive.
From what [ saw in the
northern section of Arizona,
from what have observed since
returning to Maricopa county
and from my general knowledge
of conditions in other sections of
the state, I am confident of Ellin
woods nomination, Judge Frank
lin says. II was particularly
impressed with the warmth and
sincerity OF the welcome given
Mr.. Ellinwood in the three cities
where he spoke. This was espe
cially noticeable in Flagstaff
where countless friends of many
years past focked about him to
shake his hand. It was in that
city 81 years ago that be launch
ed his law career and the old
timers have not forgotten him
but are proud of the success be
has attained.
The voters who have met Mr..
Ellin wood realize that he has not
and is not now, seeking public
office of his own desire, but that
because of the insistent demand
of the people, he is running for
governor to do all in his power
to serve those who have honor
ed him. And through solution
of the Colorado river issue, the
banking problem and countless
other important matters con
fronting the state as we'll as by
business like administration, Mr.,
Ellin wood, as governor, hopes
to show his regard for Arizona.
He is enjoying every minute
of the campaign and is making
innumerable friends. Frankly
and without exaggeration, l can
say that things are looking bet
ter each day and that the tide is
all toward Ellinwood throughout
the northern section of the state. :"

Phoenix. August. = Support
for E. e Ellin wood for governor
is mounting steadily throughout
Coconino. Mohave end Navajo

fred Franklin Of Phoenix, form

Supreme court, who accomparii
ed that. candidate on his recent
tour of the north.
!. Each Of the meetings held for
Ellin wood in Winslow, Kingman
and Flagstaff, was most enthus
siastic in its welcome, Judge
Franklin states, and the audi
ances responded in a rousing and
convincing manner. Old timers
who knew Mr.. Ellinwood 81
years ago were eager to listen
to him and to pledge their sup
port while the crowds which
turned out in each city was de.
clared to surpass and primary
gathering ever staged in any of
them.
Those who have heard Mr..
Ellinwood speak, Judge Frank,
lin asserts, have been immediat
ely impressed with his character,
his courage and his sincerity.
They appreciate the fact that he

man like manner and not simply
from a political view. In my
opinion, any voter who meets
Mr.. Ellinwood quickly becomes
an Ellinwood booster, for his
brilliant and engaging person
ality, his clear cut manner of
talking and his business like way
of treating the issues of the day,
make tremendous impression. "
Commenting on Gov. Hunts
method of approaching the vital
state problems, Judge Franklin
states that whereas the cover
nor has never and is not now,
definite and straight forward in
his presentation of the issues to
the voters. Mr.. Ellin wood is the
direct opposite; saying what be
thinks and not simply leaning
toward the popular appeal of the
moment.

that the interior department had
not yet heard of Mr.. Ferrail's

added:
Morgan like Ferrall, is un.
derstood to have the backing of
Senator Cameron and it is the
expectation that Ferrall will step

Since July IL S. D. Pool has
been acting register, under ap-
pointment by the secretary Of
interior, who has refused to issue
Mr.. Ferrall q new commission.
after his recess appointment has
expired with the adjournment of

the controversy that the secre-
tary, in doing so, was acting in
harmony with the president,
who had changed his mind, after
the senate last December had
concurred in q nomination which
would have. given the position to.
Mr.. Ferrall for four years upon
receipt of the commission that,
