Political Rally A
Success
CONTRIBUTED

With plenty of plano music fur-
nished by the accomplished MISS
Mary Mognett the most successful
political rally of the season was
held on the lawn of the Methodist
Church Tuesday night of last week.
With two and one half times the
seating capacity of previous rallies
and the seats we'll filled early, the
program got underway with the can
didates for national and state offl-
GERS speaking first. When the rain
began to fall some left but most OF
the audience folded their chairs
and went into the church where
the program was continued.
One would have thought this
change and interruption in the mid
st of the program would have ruin
ed il. but quite the converse. The
house was filled to capacity and
eager listeners stood around the
walls while the candidates present
ed. The enforced change brought
spirit of freedom and the good rain
brought a JOY which made the oc-
casion one of good viii. All ele-
ments of formality were dismissed
and everyone took whole hearted IN
terest there being sense or ease
and relaxation over the audience.
After every candidate had spok-
en-, the ligths being off as result
O fthe storm, all joined spontaneo-
usly in singing good songs until
the lights were on again then after
visiting one another, eating Ice
cream and enjoying the fellowship
for almost another hour all LETT
feeling that the splendid attendance
and fine spirit of the occasion had
made it a great success.

Walter c. Smith
Announces For
Supervisor Dist. 3

Fir. Smith, in announcing his
candidacy for Supervisor of this
distruct, points out some very de-
finite improvements that may be
made in the matter of roads, WPA
works, and county disqualification.
Mr., Smiths statement is as follows:
81 believe that in apportioning
the funds available for road work,
the desire for votes and the appro-
baton of a privileged few, has
reacted unfavorably toward the val
ley as a whole; that too little ef-
ford has been directed toward i'm
prOvement of section line roads,
and that it should not be necessary
for the farmer to build his own
roads to enable him to reach his
market
] believe that county officials
should make an effort to coordinate
relief construction so that PWA
workers can be taken care of at
home, instead of being transferred
to distant points in this and other
counties; that the wage paid these
workers is not sufficient to main
tain themselves and their families
while thus separated.
I believe that in matters or
disqualification sufficient funds
should be budgeted to take care OF
those deserving aid, without regard
to political expendiency.
In order to clarity my position
as to incorporation of the town
of Coolidge l call attention to the
fact that the procedure is prescrib-
ed by statute. Though l am a pro-
perty owner in Coolidge, l am not
resident within the proposed
limits. and have no vote in the
matter. In the event l am elected
Supervisor, and a legal petition is
presented to the Board for con-
alteration, shall govern my action
in strict accord with the law.

Gardner Makes A
Clean Campaign

Ace Gardner, candidate for She
riff of Pinal county. says he is
busy touring the county in the
interest of his candidacy. and re-
ports a very promising outlook.
This popu ar candidate has had
the experience it takes to make
successful peace officer, with IS
years of actual law enforcement
in Arizona.
Ace was born in Texas, but came
to Arizona in '9S, when Arizona was
known as "the Territory" and has
lived all his life in he Southwest.
Back in these days cattle ranches
we're miles apart-some were good
neighbors. and some were not. The
good ones were trying to build up,
while the bad ones were tearing
down. In those stirring days one
had to be one side or the other
one cou dn't ''straddle the fence :.
And so. in looking back, Ace finds
that his first work as a peace Of
flee goes back to the days when
he helped to overtake a "rustler
or helped to keep the tough boys"
from shooting up the dance.
Ace was a deputy under sheriff
Pollock of Graham county, before
he came to Florence to become a
guard at the State Prison. In 1928
he resigned that position to accept
a deputyship in Coolidge, under
sheriff Laveen, which position he
still holds.
Law enforcement has been his
ife work and it is on such a rec
ord that he asks the voters of Pi-
nal county to support him for the
office of sheriff of Pinal county, on
September 18th.

VIM. Short Is Candi-
date for Constable

Bill Short is we'll known to most
folks in the Coolidge precinct,
where he seeks the office of Con-
stable. When introduced at the
political pally Saturday evening,
Mr.. Short made very short state
mont. Says he: 81 am Bill Short,
and I'll make it short now, if you
will make it Short on September
18th" That was a darn good poll
tica' speech-short and Short.
Anyway Bill has lived in Ari-
zona 3S of his AZ years, with the
exception of his Army service. He
was over seas for one year, spent
8 months at the front and was six
months with the army of occupa-
ton in Germany. He has worked
in the U. S. Custom service, served
as deputy sheriff in Pima county
and believes himself qualified by
reason of experience, for the Of
flee he seeks. He came to Coolidge
and bought some lots in 1928, and
built his home here in 1881, there
by qualifying as an old settler in
Coolidge. He conducts a barbershop
at present, but has been in the
cattle business, and working as a
miner in Arizona mines, has well
rounded experience and is making
good in his own business.
Mr.. Short is married, has two
daughters, Mary Jane, II, and Fra
ncis, 13, both accomplished musi-
clans and popular with the young
er set. He says: make it Short
on Sept. 18th"
