ELECT DR. B. 3. MOEUR
GOVERNOR

In a vain and futile effort to
stem the tide Of votes that is
sweeping Dr.. B. B. Moeur. De
mocratic candidate for governor,
into office, Republicans are 60
ing to ridiculous extremes in
campaign of vlIllfication and false
hood For instance in an effort
to belittle Dr. Moeur they state
that his practice as a physi
clan is 'confined to. the little col
lege town Of Tempe" Doctor
Moeur's practice extends all over
Maricopa county, and what the
people of that county think Of
him is shown by his remarkable
vote in the primary. Dr.. Moeur
is charged with being "a years
old. AS a matter of fact be is
63 years old. DR.. Moeur is charg
ed with being a director in a
bank at Tempe. As matter of
fact be is not, but what has that
to do with his qualifications? He
is charged with having brother
who is aud officer in the Tempe
bank. That is true, but what of
it?
Thus 10 their vain scramble to
get something against Dr.. Moeur
the friends of the Republican
candidate are making themselves
foolish. Ia one breath they cir
culate rumors that Dr.. Moeur is
to be dominated by the Strode-
lander French crowd. the idea
of such rumors being to ALLEVIATE
Democratic anti-Hunt voters. 10
the next breath they tell the
Strobe Sander French grou
that Dr.. Moeur-is going to clean
them out, the idea being to win
the support of that Democratic
faction to the support of Jack
Kinney. The significant feature
of the entire campaign of false
hood is that the Republicans
have not been able to pin one
single thing on Dr. Moeur.
Herce the petty criticism which
Is now coming out.
Now as to Dr.. Moeur's qualifi.
cations, He has built up an ex
tended practice in Maricopa coun
ty through 30 years work. He
was a member of the constitu
tional convention. He was ma
yor of Tempe. He has been a
trustee of the Tempe Teachers
college. He has accumulated a
competence through his own
thrift and industry. He pleaded
guilty to the Republican charge
that he has been lenient with bis
patients in paying his fees. he
has been that way long before
he eyer dreamed Of running for
governor.
Dr.. Moeur is anxious to serve
bis state as governor. The same
hard working principles he has
used in building up his practice
in Maricopa county, the same
principles he has used ia win.
ming the devotion Of the people
of Maricopa county, he intends
to use when he is governor. His
character and his past record are
unimpeachable.
The people Of Tucson, Pima
county. can we'll place their faith
in Dr.. B. B. Moeur. As cover.

The same enthusiasm be has
shown at Tempe will be seen in
what he does for the University.
Tucson and Pima county have
much to gain from bis election.
Above all by voting for him the
people of Pima county will be
voting for man owing alegi
ance to nobody, who has no per
sonal political ambitions. and
who is anxious and able to guide
the state government of Arizona
through what will be the most
critical years it has ever faced.
Dr.. Moeur has paid his own
campaign expenses. He owes
no allegiance to any one or any
interest. He has no political
machine. and will have non afte r
