our form of government. We all know
the evils which naturally follow sucli
a thing. We have them already in
| existence in this state so that every
one knows about them. L am satisfied
that Governor Hunt, in the course of
his long incumbency, has devoted him
self very largely to the building up
of personal political machine which
has now reached such proportions as
to be utterly antagonistic to the best
interests of this state and to the de-
velopment of efficient government.
] feel, and / believe the people of
tho state feel, that the time has come
to smash that machine, to choose some
one else as governor, and allow the
direct primary to function as intended
by our constitution.
, From the first / have felt that Ari-
zona should take her time in consid :,
ering what should be done with the
| Colorado river, Santa Fe, N. No com.
pact 1t involves a problem of para
mount Importance and precipitate ac-
tion of any sort would have been most
unwise and dangerous
Opposes BOULDER Dam Site.
I am opposed to the Boulder canyoA
dam site. The interests of Arizona
absolutely demand that the dam be
| placed at point on the river so that
/ both ends of the dam be located oil
Arizona soil. In handling the Colo.
rado river problem so as to get this
mos out of it for Arizona, Arizona
must negotiate with other states ano
with the federal government. Too
much time has already been lost ano
too many animosities created. Only by
the narrowest margin and through the
loyal work of our representative in
the United States congress, were we
saved from the passage of the Swing
Johnson bill. we have now reached a
critical point where intelligent action
and handling is required. This prob
must cease to be political football
and must be handled in a sane and
careful manner
would Dust McCIuskey.
If elected governor, 1 will not un,
/ Gertalle to handle this great problem
bv picking fights with other states
i or with the United States. Rathe@
will | endeaVor to work out, by care
tful negotiations, a proper solution
which will fully protect all of Ari-
zona's rights. Nor will | endeavor to
handle this problem by picking fights
with our state legislature, whose duties
and functions in the final analysis,
are absolutely conclusive. Nor would
II leave the representation of Arizonas S
interests in the hands of Mr.. McClus-
Ikey, who, up to this time, has appar-
emily had that matter in his exclusive
charge without any warrant appoint
ment or election from the people of
this state.
Through a proper handling of the
Colorado river problem great and ma
terial benefits will result to every
taxpayer of Arizona. Every such tax
paNer, whether small or great, should
and will be of one mind in this mat
ter Also, a proper solution OF that
problem will afford protection to all
those living within the reach of tnt
serious flood threat now presented py
: the river.
This Colorado river problem is very
largely, must say, primarily legal
) problem of the first magnitude
feel that my training and experience
as a lawyer could be helpful to nay
state in working out a proper soiu
: ton safeguarding all our rights
5 AS to Banking.
AS you know, | am connected WIN
the business of banking in this state
land have been for mans years. II Is
Of the greatest interest and lmpor-
tance to every citizen of this state
: that we enjoy the benefits and pro-
lection of sound banking. We have
not enjoyed these benefits under the
: administration of Governor Hunt An
epidemic of bank failures has swept
E over the state, out of which has come
abundant evidence that we have had
no efficient enforcement of the bank
ing laws at the hands of the Hunt ad-
Y ministration. Widespread and unnec-
: essary suffering and loss have been
:, inflicted upon depositors of banks
which have failed. Distress has in
vaded the homes of thousands, and a
fear and uncertainty lurz in the minds
: of all.
), l feel that 1 know what is needed
: to correct this ~deplorable situation
and to bring about a return to sound
banking administration and the en-
|
Also, have in mind important changes
which should be made in our banking
laws as to which 1 shall not go into
details here.
Proud of Record.

them. am proud of all of them

1ege to represent many individuals
and many corporations in my capacity
as a practicing zawyer. Also, I have
represented the people of Yavapai as
their huly elected district attorney
and have represented the federal gov.
/ ernment as United States attorney. /
always endeavor to give my client
the best that L have But 1 have never
surrendered my independence of

any employment
If elected governor, I must neces-
sarily and would, sever all my pro-
