DEL-MAR-VA ASSOCIATION
FIGHTS CROOKED SOLICITORS
(continued from first page)

CONTINUED from first page)
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore as field
for their operations.
Through investigation of the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association
it has been learned that several
schemes which were not based on
sound foundation, and which would
result in dishonest practices and the
swindling of prospective new resi-
dents, have been launched, but in
each instance thus far they have
been stamped out.
Harvey J. Hill, executive director
of the association, discussing the
situation said:
"It is one of the foremost duties OF
the association to prevent dishonest,
unfair and unscrupulous practices
and no effort will be spared to pro-
tect the peninsula against such.
I'VE are calling on every member
of our association to inform head
quarters if they obtain knowledge
which indicates that any unscrupu-
lous practices are under way or ii
they are being planned. We are post
ing a reward of $4,000 for such in
formation and 1 believe that every
citizen will take it on himself to
aid the peninsula communities in
fighting this very serious evil"
Mr.. Hill added that the Del-Mar-
Va Eastern Shore Association will
take definite steps in prosecuting
those found violating the law in any
manner as outlined, and where ac'
tual violation of the law is not es
tablished, but where intent is dis
covered, such schemes will bt
squashed with widespread publicity

The cellar for Bethel A. M. E.
Church has been dug and the work
of rebuilding this church, recently
destroyed by fire will be rushed to
completion.
The crOssway to BrOadkill Beach
is in a very dangerous condition and
should receive the attention of the
road building authorities. The sea-
son is now on at this popular re-
| sort but the bad roadway is keeping
many people away from this beach.
The condition of the road was caused
| by the heavy rains that flooded the
marshes. The bitches became clog
ged with mud and refuse failed to
take the water from the marshes.
This condition should be eliminated
at once.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING

Attack on a. candidate for using newspaper ad,
vertsing to place his candidacy before the voters
weakens the candidate making such an attack.
During the past couple weeks Gov George W. P.
Hunt candidate for reelection, has criticized E. E.
E!linwood for the display advertising being used by
tie Ellinwood For Governor Club.
Such criticism Of the Ellinwood Club for using
newspaper advertising is direct slap at the in
telgence of the voters and vicious assault the
only method by which newspaper can survive
Naturally, The International is in sympathy with
newspaper advertising as an agency to carry cam
pagn publicity and we resent attacks on that main
source of newspaper revenue. We condemn the gov
ernor's destructive attitude in this matter. Such
evil abs against our stock in trade are entirely un-
called for and this sinister move against the life of
newspapers should be stopped
The Elinwood For Governor Club, in using news
paper advertising space in Elinwoods campaign for
governor is using the best and most effective method
of reaching the voters and if nominated on Septem-
Der Z Elnwood's victory will be largely due to the
newspaper advertising campaign now being waged
in his behalf
The Ellnwood For Governor Club is to be con-
graduated on showing wise Judgment in using news
paper advertising space in placing his candidacy be-
fore the voters of Arizona Candidates for ether of
tices would do well to follow suit
Every ad is a vote getter.

pointee of Governor G. w. P. Hunt)
"is alert mind, his keen insight into business af
fairs his fairness in all matters and his unswayng
courage to fight for his conviction have convinced
that he is man among men; man of broad vision;
a whose integrity all recognize
II have known Mr.. Elinwood ever since constitcl-
tional convention days. While I watched the pro-
ceeding of that body from the gallery, admired his
sincerity in what he believed was right even though
I disagreed with him. That admiration has grown
into confidence and intimate friendship through our
association on the board of regents"
Campaign managers Of the Ellinwood-F For Gov
eynor club heralded the coming of Mr. Corrigan as
great victory. Steps were taken Immediately to in
clude him on the advisory counci-a board compris-
ing men from every walk of life
'1t is indeed gratifying to know that Mr.. Corri-
gan has so much confidence in Mr. E,llnwood and
am pleased beyond words" Henderson Stockton said
'It is noteworthy that the men who know Mr.
Ellinwood best-who have had long dealings with
him and know him intimately for what he really is
are invariably the most staunch and loyal Elinwood
supporters" said Mr.. Stockton one of the advisory
council.
While we had known for some time that Mr.
Corrlgan was Ellinwood supporter, his announce.
tainly are most pleased to have Mr. Corrigan with
us" he continued.
j. j. COrrigan has been a resident of Arizona for
more than ~ years. coming to the state in the latter
part of 1905. Throughout this period he has been ac
tive in labor circles While not member of the con-
ttutonal convention he took an active part in franz

ing the labor provisions Of the constitution and sell
dom missed one of the meetings of the convention.
Throughout his long residence in Arizona, he has
been champion of the cause of labor Mr.. Corrigan
has held every office in the Bricklayers union. He
has served president of the Phoenix Central Labor
Council and is retiring trustee of that body. He
organized the Phoenix Labor Temple association and
was elected president of the association and served
several terms. He was delegate to the Bricklayers
international at the Cleveland convention in 1920 and
at the Saratoga Springs convention in 1924 and is
now corresponding secretary of the local union.
The recent action of the Central Labor Council
in endorsing the candidacy of Mr. Hunt for sixth
term was factor in Mr.. Corrigan's action, he said
II have always endeavored to keep the council
from taking any official political action" he explain
ed Il am most vigorously opposed to the action TAX
few weeks ago. It is in direct violation of the
program of the American Federation of Labor.
have taken this means to refute the imputaton that
the resolution endorsing Hunt is the sentiment of the
laboring men Of this community. 1t is merely the
sentiment of the state highway department tenn
porarily controlled council"

LABOR LEADER FOR ELLINWOOD

John J. Corrigan of Phoenix, one of Arizona's
best known labor men and member Of Bricklayers'
Union Phoenix No 8, is going to take an active inter-
est In the conddacy of E. E. Elnwood for governor
lie SO announced his intention last week
That he may leave no stone unturned in the fur
therance OF Mr. Ellinwood's campaign, Mr. Corrigan
has cast his lot with the state headquarters of the
Elinwood-F For-Governor club
i have become affiliated with the Ellinwood or
ganNation solely on my initiative and simply be-
cause believe that he is the best man in the field for
the gubernatorial chair
i gave the question long and thoughtful con-
slderatlon before deciding to act and have arrived
at the conclusion That Arizona needs man of the
ElllnWood type in the executive offices Perhaps
nave selfish motives in that believe such man can
do great deal for labor
The move involves quite personal sacrifice on
my part, for it means that am foregoing NV own
work and whatever remuneration it might bring to
volunteer my services to what believe is the best in
terest not only of labor but of the entire state of
Arizona and all it's factions and classes"
Mr. Corrigan discussed at some length the issues
OF the campaign and the reasons that prompted him
to become so actively interested in Mr. EIinwood's
campaign.
Il have become great admirer and a staunch
believer in Mr. Elinwood during our associations IN

Right always wins.


This was again proven when the regents of the
state university in session at Tucson week ago yes
terday voted to retain Prof. c. H. Marvin as pres-
dent of the university.
Action of the board was big victory for Regents
John J. Corrigan E. E. Ellinwood, John Campbell,
and Cleve Van Dyke, who had stood for Marvin from
the day that the Tucson Ministerial Association filed
charges against the popular university president It
was defeat for the Anti-Marvenites
The charges We're all Of flimsy nature, largely
a result of petty politics and gossip. Marvin was
cleared of the charges several weeks ago but even
after that the tiMarvenites continued their fight
in an effort to oust Marvin. Public opinion was
strongly in favor of Marvin and the Anti-Marvenite
regents soon found that it was to their advantage at
the last minute to switch over to the Pro-Marvin
side and vote to retain Marvin.
Regents Ellinwood Corrigan, Campbell and
Van Dyke, are to be congratulated for standing by
Marvin and waverng in their fight to see that
Marvin remained to continue his excellent work as
head of the university.
