]. C. Callaghan
Announces Candidacy
for Secretary of State

COncurrently with this announce
ment State Treasurer ]. G. Callaghan.
first State Auditor, 30 years a resi-
dent of Arizona and a taxpayer, be-
comes an aspirant for the Democratic
nomination for Secretary of State.
AS State Treasurer millions of dol
lars of public revenue has passed
through his hands, the conservation
of which has involved no small re-
spOnsibility 1t has devolved upon
him to defend his position in court,
and the Supreme Court has decided
each case in his favor.
Mr.. Callaghan subscribes to the
dictum that public office is a pub
lie trust; that faithfulness to that
trust is the best service to party,
and is, by the same token, the best
politics. He has striven for a record
which might commend him to the
further consideration of the Arizona
electorate
The duties of his present office,
together with poverty of purse, will
combine to preclude him from MAX
ing general handshaking campaign,
and his reliance, therefore, is upon
his known record.
Humbly, but in the profundity of
high confidence, he submits his can
didacy at the primaries to the Demo
cratic men and women of Arizona
believing that the service he has
sought to render them will not go

Last Friday Mrs. Price was
awarded a judgment for $500
against Chebithes, whom she had
served as secretary. on the charge
that he forcibly kissed her during
a convention in Chicago Hotel in
October. 1925.
The libel suit is an outgrowth Of
the hotel affair. Chebithes alleges
that Mrs. Price wrote a letter to
his Organization making a com.
plant of the affair.
Mrs. Price was served with papers
in the libel suit while pursuing her
stolen kiss case. Today's petition,
filed by Attorneys Wilton J. Lam
bert and Alfred M. Schwartz, tells
the court that such service was
not legal. since she is a resident
of Jacksonville, Fla. and was in
this city for the sole purpose of
attending the trial.
