POLITICAL
FLASHES

Ex-Governor Hunt has lived a
long ime in Arizona. Before com
ing here he was raised on farm
in Missouri He has also had eX-
perience in mining. The governor
is a very rich man, and what he has
made he is entitled to by virtue of
hard work and taking advantages
of opportunities. The salary con-
nected with the job of governor has
no appeal to him. He likes the job
and he will hold it as long as he can
get it. He had this in m n
when he told the little boy at the
meeting that you may be COVER
nor some day" Then the ex-gov-
ernor's sense Of humor came upper

LABOR STRONG WILL BRING IN
FOR LYMAN $500 P|CkERS

On August 18th organized labor
furnished the first fireworks" OF
the 1880 political campaign, when
the largest political audience ever
assembled in Pima county rallied
in a mass meeting to hear Frank
Lyman open his campaign OF South
ern Arizona.
Gerald Jones, prominent Tucson
Judge, announced himself as a for
mer supporter of G. w. P. Hunt, but
stated that he had accepted the
chairmanship of the nights meet
ing and was rallying to the Lyman
banner with "the rest of the dem
ocrats of the state who knew the
facts and are interested in good
government, because of recent
slanderous publications of so
called expose" of Lyman's labor
record He branded the charges
as foolish. unscrupulous attempts
on the part of unreliable politi-
ciHns TO further their own candi-
dates by making these petty
charges"
Jones pointed out the folly of the
now notorious allegations, illustraL-
ed by two damage cases, in the
first of which the plaintiff asked
damaEes for injuries received while
off duty. and 20 miles from the
scene of his employment. on pri
vate business, and in the second
where an electrician was killed, as
all evidence proved, by his own
negligence and by no fault of his
employers. Lyman cOncurred il
denying damages.

DIDN'T LIKE OUR
PUMP LANDS

There are certain farmers in this
valley that we'll remember the time
they tried to make a loan from the
state and got turned down flat.
Later they secured the loan from
the government. These farmers
never knew that the state had
loaned money on the same char
acter Of lands in another section
of the state until an enthusiastic
politician boosting the Hunt admin
istration gave It away. That may
be one of the reasons why the peo-
pie of this valley, irrespective of
politics, judge man by his actions
rather than by the speech and
paper promises, and hot air, that is
distributed around election time.
