BLALOCK URGES
LABOR TO VOTE
FOR AMOS BELTS

w. G. Blalock of B;sbee, secre-
tary of the Bisbce Federal Labor
Union and a member of Geveral
other unions or organizations, who
was a visitor here Monday, said
that he is campaigning all over the
state in behalf of Amos A. Belts,
Democratic candidate for Corpora
ton Commissioner, and that he is
meeting with success and is conf
dent Belts will be nominated at the
September primary.
"Organized labor should support
Mr.. Belts as he is member of
organized labor, has been for 40
years in the Order of Railroad Tel
egraphers, and has a 1884 card.
"It behooves organized labor to
strengthen the gains it has made
in Arizona, Mr.. Blalock said.
That object can be best attained
'oy supporting and fighting for can
didates for pubic office who are
known to be In sympathy with and
loyal to the principles we laboring
men espouse. Our first choice
should go to the man who is him.
self a member of organized labor.
If he has proved himself worthy.
Fortunately We have one candidate
for state office this year who is
not only a member but who, in
his official acts has demonstrated
his constant loyalty to our cause
and devotion to our members. That
candidate is Hon. Amos A. Belts,
candidate for Corporation Ccmmis-
sioner. Many cases in which la
Dor was involved came before
Belts while he was member of
the commission and to his credit
and glory the record shows that he
never voted wrong. Labor ought to
be and I am sure is proud of the
official record made by Belts. If
any laboring man is not familiar
with it, ask some of the boys who
were discharged by hard-boiled Of
ficials and who were later restored
to their position through the cour-
ageous stand of Amos Belts There
were a good many of them and they
will tell you.
"I urge every union worker in the
State to vote for Belts and better
still to work actively in his behalf
from now until primary day. We
can render no better service to our
cause. So far as I know, Belts is
the only state candidate who holds
a card"

Tom Heady of San Rafael Valley
was elected president of the Santa
Cruz County Fair Association at the
recent meeting of the association
held at the fair grounds at Sonolta.
Other officers named were:
L. w. Klene, vice-president; Ed
LeGendre of the Sonoita Mercan-
tile Company, treasurer; and Mrs.
Cora Everhart, secretary. To Mr..
Collie of Patagonia and Mr.. Ben
jamin of Sonoita, retiring presi-
dent and vice-president, respective
ly, the association expressed their
sincere appreciation of long years
of service.
Heads of departments chosen
were:
Dance committee, Mrs. Dorothy

Sonoita, assisted by Regen Gard

Publicity, G. H. Adams, Santa

county.
Concessions, Troy Ramsey.
Supt. of fair, Farm Agent Brown
Pima county; Mr. Thompson, No
gales.
Saturday, October 9Th, has been
set aside as fair day. This date,
somewhat earlier than usual, is too
early for mature crops. However,
it was considered advisable to ac-
cept that date since the drouth
would prevent much of crop dis
play.
Throughout the year dances have
been given to assist in paying fair
expense. For some time now the
Association has been self support
ng, the chief source of revenue
being the dances, concessions, and
gate receipts. 1t was therefore
agreed there be gate admission
of Is cents for each person over II
years of age, under II free.

MOEUR TELLSOF
STEWARDSHIP IN
NOGALES SPEECH

Before a crowd of several hun
dred persons. Gov. B. B. Moeur
candidate for reelection spoke at
the city plaza Saturday night. He
was introduced by Superior Court
Judge Charles L. Hardy.
For the most part his talk was
an account of his stewardship for
the past year and a half but it was
interspersed with several state
ments that brought much applause.
There was, for example, his state
ment that he has been criticized
for not calling a special session of
the legislature to make possible the
federal grant and loan to the uni
versity, but that the grant had been
made, as he knew it would be, and
if it still was necessary to call the
legislature for that purpose he
would do so.
And he got combined laughter
and applause when he said II have
never spent cent of the states
money when I travelled within the
state. of Arizona, nor has the state
paid for single one Of my per-
sonal telephone calls. I have en-
tertained as governor many times
and paid the bill out of my own
pocket The only times the state
has paid any Of my expenses has
been when charged the legal $5
a day in washington, and that has
always cost me 40 bucks a day..
my desire he told the audience,
sis to reduce taxes and have fed
eral aid continue to come into this
state until Arizona regains its IL
nancial equilibrium. I went to
washington and was told by the
President that he would match our
relief money two to one. But state
warrants were selling below par
we could not sell g. bond issue at
anv price and the only way we
could get the money was by a sales
tax I asked the legislature for 1t
and got it. That raised $1,000, ,OOO
and the federal government
through the RFC and other agen-
cies, has sent into the state $780,
600 in return I didn't do it alone
Mrs. Greenway can be credited with
the fact that this state is getting
80 times as much federal relief pei
canita as any other state"
