EDWARD TOVREA
STATE PIONEER
VICTIM OF FLU
Head OF Big Packing
Company Dies
At Phoenix

Following several weeks Illness
Edward A. Tovrea, president of the
Tovrea Packing Company, we'll
known in ,Nogales, one Of the most
picturesque figures in the business
life of Arizona, died at 3:45 o'clock
Sunday morning in his castle home
overlooking his last great industrial
development in Arizona, the Tovrea-
Packing Company plant just east
OF Phoenix
Death was the result of compIica-
tons which set in after an attack
of influenza in October. A weakened
heart hastened his illness in the
! final days.
His castle home on East Wash
ington boulevard, between Phoenix
and Tempe, one of the two which
! he purchased in business retire
nlent last summer, was the scene of
funeral services at o'clock yester-
Gay afternoon. Temporary vault in
terment was made by the Whitney
Funeral home until completion of
construction of memorial n1auso-
leum on the grounds of his home
The Rev. DR.. r. E. Elmore, Gen.
tral Christian church pastor, read
the 1erv,ces. Fallbearers were select
ed from a circle of friends living in
all major cities Of the state.
Fraternally he was associated
with the Ancient Order of Pnited
Wcrkmen and with the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks At
Prescott and at Bisbee.
Mr.. Tovrca's entry into the meat
packing business on q large seals
was in 1901, at which time he pt;r
chased Overlook and Company at
Bisbee and changed the name to z
A. Tovrea and Company. For 19
years this plant supplied Southern
Arizona with full line of meat
products.
The Arizona Packing company
was founded by Mr.. Tovrea in 1919.
It's founder was it's first president
and held this office until his death
At meeting of stockholders a year
ago this month the name was
changed to the Tovrea Packing COM
pany as a tribute to Mr. Tovrea-
Last summer, Mr.. Torea pur-
chased his Phoenix home on Car
raro Heights and a summer resi-
dence in Prescott. 1t was on his
return from his Prescott home last
fall that he became i'll.
Throughout his life he was we'll
known for his many charities. "Ol6
timers of the West who Mr.. Tow
rea knew in the early mining days
Of Arizona and who had come to
hard times, friends said, received
many gifts from him. In the last
several months, he contributed to
Arizona unemployment relief by the
gifts of meats to city social organ
iZations.
Never Defeated
Three qualities determination,
energy and tound judgment-stood
cut to an unusual degree in Mr.
Tovrea's character. They were ap-
parent in most of his enterprises,
many of which were started under
adverse circumstances and carried
on under discouraging conditions
but invariably were successful.
Mr.. Tovrea was one of Arizona's
pioneers who endured many hard

ROOSEVELT FACES TURNING
POINT IN POLITICAL CAREER

EDITORS NOTE: This is
the first of two articles deal
ing with Governor Franklin ID.
Roosevelt of New York, now an
avOwed candidate for the Dem
Ccratic nomination for the
Presidency
BY PAUL H. KING
United Press Staff Correspondent
ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 9 (U.P)--
Again the hat Of Roosevelt re-,
poses in the presidential arena.
Irnbued with much of the vlgOr
that whisked his illustrous cousin
Teddy" to the White House--Gov-
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New
York stands at turning point of a
lcng political career.
Another Step
When the governor granted tbs
Democracy Of North Dakota the
privilege to place his name on the
states preferential presidential pri-
mary he took another step in
career which started % years ago
when he was elected to the state
senate.
Born the son of James Roosevelt
on q Hyde Park, N. Y, farm SO
years ago, Roo-eve.t has proven
himself finished politician. He's
mans man" to his friends who
call him Frank.
The governor, who SO far has
not enlarged upon his presidential
aspirations, spent his boyhood in
the Hudson Valley. At Harvard
Roo2evelt was popular. He gradu-
ated in 1904 after serving as edi-
tor of The Crimson, undergradu
ate daily newspaper. Later he
graduated from Columbia, Law
School and was admitted to the
State Bar Association.
Roosevelts climb to political
fame has been rapid.
AS Assistant Secretary Of ne
Navy during the World War he
experienced many narrowing ex-
! periences - including a jaunt thru
mo Mans land while battle was
/ berg waged. He crossed the At
lantic on a destroyer when all Unit
ed States vessels were fearing al
tacks from German submarines.
When the governor was appoint
ed Assistant Secretary of the Navy
in 1913 by President woodrow Will
son his immediate task was to re-
organize the business Of the serv-
ice. He was praised by Wilson for
his work.
In 1920 when he was q vice
presidential candidate along with
the Democratic standard bearer,
James NJ. Cox of Ohio his address
sc3 in that campaign were termed
then until now he has been q pow
or in the Jeffersonian party.
From his vice presidential can
didaly he stepped into the gov
ernor'a chair in 1928 He was re-
elerted in 1880 by the greatest ma
iority ever accorded a candidate in
the state.

Will, Supervisors Carry out
ILLEGAL CONTRACT FEEDING
PRISONERS At COUNTY JAIL?
Both Republicans And Democrats jon Denouncing
Hannah And Middleton For Ignoring Chance
To Save Taxpayers S162O
POLITICAL BOSSES TO BE RELOCATED
TO RANKS OF "HAS BEENS' THIS FALL

Will Supervisors Fred Hannah and Malcolm Mid
dleton GO ahead and sign contract with hay Brat
ton Gf they haven't already done so) for the feeding
of county prisoners this year?
THAT is THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR IN
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, Taxpayers are up in arms
since The international threw the spotlight on Han
nah and Middleton, Saturday
Notwithstanding Bratton was NOT LOW BID
DER for the feeding Of the prisoners the two Repub-
licans, who control the board of county managers,
voted last Wednesday to give Bratton the contract.
They ignored other bids lower than the Bratton. 1t
they had accepted the bid of Mrs. Lucy Cason, who
was low bidder they could have saved the county at
least S1620 this year.
But such thing as saving the taxpayers the
"ittle" sum of $500 did not appeal to Hannah and
Middleton REWARDING A POLITICAL BUDDY
WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO THE PAIR OF
POLITICIANS.
The International would like for Hannah and
Middleton to publicly answer in print the following
questions: Why did you award the contract to Brat
ton? Why did you not want to save money for the
taxpayers? Why did you ignore the complaints made
10 Deputy United States Marshal in regard to the
meals served by Bratton during the year ending Feb
ruary 1892 ard then go ahead and favor him again
this year?
The international maintains that if a contract
has been awarded to Bratton 1T is ILLEGAL and
believe that if the matter is carried to the courts,
Messrs Hannah and Middleton will be forced to break
that contract
THERE IS APPARENTLY SOME SPECIFIC
REASON just why the supervisors voted to give
Bratton the contract "POLITICS' was Of course one
of the reasonsW We believe there was another reason
1t is up to bota Of the Republican supervisors
do some explaining.
Perhaps Hannah and Middleton do not intend to
for office again this year. and for that reason,
during the few months remaining Of their regime,
they may be taking the attitude Of "the public be
d.
Hannah is serving his third term. Surely
that's enough. FROM WHAT WE HEAR ABOUT
TOWN IT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR BOTH
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS Middleton
has proven himself entirely dominated by Hannah.
The voters have had enough Of Hannahsm and
Middletonism. day Of reckoning is coming shortly
and by that time the voters of this county will know
lot more about the way in which those two "sterl-
ing public servants have been handling the county
business-showing pariality to political compadres
to the detriment of the taxpayers who fork al
most SlOO monthly to each Hannah and Middleton for
few hours work each month
MR. VOTER, LET'S RETIRE, HANNAH AND
MIDDLETON FROM THE PENSION LIST AND
PUT IN MEN WHO WILL WORK FOR YOUR IN
TERESTS!
