Colonel Green, who has been named
to succeed him, said that he would
be willing to serve as the prohibition
chief only SO long as the investigation
is under way.
Asked il he believed in prohibition
Colonel Green said:
Il believe in prohibition firmly be-
cause of its economic benefits to the
nation. But it is unfortunate that the

STATE POLITICS NOW
STRANGELY MIXED

The main question in Arizona dem
ocratic circles concerns the effect OF
the divided opposition to Gov. G. w.
p. Hunt. There is agreement in the
camps of E. E. Ellinwood and j. j.
Cox that either would have little
trouble in eliminating Gov. Hunt from
the political landscape if either could
lead the opposition alone.
There are admissions that the gov
ernor's personal following remains
loyal. It's strength is placed as high
as 1900 votes, which happens to be
about the number cast for LaFollette
in the last election, but a more con-
servative estimate is that 10000 cleo
tors can be fully depended upon by
Hunt in the next primary, this with
expectation that over $4,000 demo-
Gratis will be in evidence. 1t also is
appreciated that an officeholder is a
better worker at the polls than is an
outsider.
So, the governors chances for re-
nomination are considered far from
nebulous. On the republican side
Gov. Hunt would be welcomed as a
candidate, with belief that he would
be the easiest of all democrats to de-
feat.
In Cox headquarters the campaign
is being waged especially on the
banking issue, with efforts being
made to bring over every voter who
ever has lost money in the failure of
an Arizona bank On the stump, Mr..
Cox declares that 'In the past five
and one-half years in the state OF
Arizona there has been loss to bank
depositors, as a result Of bank fail
ures, more than $17,000,000," an un-
happy condition laid by him largely
to the manner in which the banking
laws have been administered, this
with a share of the blame laid upon
the Hunt administration.
The governor has taken up the Cox
challenge. Oddly, his defense was
started at Prescott, in community
where thousands were financially in
terested in the failure of three banks
last winter, where change of venue
has been granted a half-dozen bank
officials on the ground Of popular
bias and prejudice and where Hunts
banking department superintendent
has been indicted for alleged failure
to carry out the laws with respect to
bank inspections.
He said that since 1928 the banking
department had closed 13 state banks,
leaving 32 in operation, with $1,239,
900 more on deposit than was on hand
in. December, 1922.
Defense was made of the banking
superintendent, while the law that
prohibits loans to any individual in
excess of rs percent of the capital

CLOUDBURST BUSTS
ALONG Aqua FRA

A fair-sized cloudburst descended
upon as.section of the desert near
Aqua Fria early Monday morning
and the runoff centered largely in
the ballast pit near the Santa Fe
tracks where 1876 empty freight cars
were standing. The pit was almost
filled with water, and many of the
wooden bodies Of the freight cars left
the track and floated around the pit.
Aqua Fria is located 35 miles south
of Wickenburg.
Local Santa Fe officials had not
been informed this afternoon of the
damage or the extent, but it is ex-
pected that the water will cause the
wood in the bodies to swell so that
they will be beyond repair.
The cars had been switched into
the ballast pit pending the loading of
crops from the Salt River valley.

SLAYER OF PARKER BELIEVED
ESCAPED FROM FLORENCE PEN

There is a possibility that the
Mexican named Cruz, whose dead
body was found by a posse this
week several miles from the ranch
where Lon Parker, U. S. border pa
trolman, was found fatally wound
ed Sunday afternoon, is an escaped
convict from the state prison at Flor
ence, Walter Miller Of bogder patrol
headquarters said.
The finding Of the body of the
smuggler beside that Of his dead

Range livestock questions, state

jeets in states, occupied the attention
of the delegates to the regional farm
bureau conference at Reno.
Arizona and Utah have both made
bids for the 1927 conference but it
is likely to go to the former place,
as that state has not yet entertained
the conference and majority Of the
delegates seem to feel It is entitled
to the convention, Utah having had

De TAILS MAKE

Small. inconspicuous details Of
motor car construction sometimes
assume roles of considerable con-
sequences especially IL their me-

an automobile may be fmpeached
by some slight but insistent dis
cordance. and a delightful motor ex-

illustration of this close attention
is contained in two features Of the
construction of the Lincoln car.
