ARIZONA NEEDS LEADERSHIP
WNxM

Embroed in the worlds greatest crisis Arizona
needs eadership-a strong leader, governor who can
command confidence respect and cooperation That need
will be all the pressing during the next two years.
Arizona lacks that leadership We must have it
Your the front fighting for the right to live
in freedom; in industries, sweating and
rificng to give them every and need in the
circle of the effort trying with all might
to keep this state and this nation firm footing fight
ing at home TO retain the democracy for which they
rifice their lives-we need leadership!
These times that try mems souls We, voters of
Arizona laying aside political interests elect gov
whose strength and determination whose initiative
and integrity, unquesoned Bob Jones proved those
qualities two years ago in the governors office
Remember first that it is your patriotic duty vote
the battlefront dying to your voice in
government. Would you throw away privilege prec-
ious enough to demand such sacrifces 1t is your duty
TO vote in sincerity, for the you believe will best
your ideals and purposes, whoever they may be.
We have choice of four men for governor of this
state but there choice in the kind of leader
elect Arizona is to stand with the nation in this
preme effort for the preservation of democracy We
sincere in belief that Bob Jones is best qualified
give that leadershp.-Mesa Journal
The Coolidge examiner., 1942-09-04

Perhaps never before in the history of Arizona has
governor conducted campaign on as many fabrica-
tiOns Gov. Osborn is doing this year.
The present chief executive seemingly forgets he is
temporarily the highest officer in the state and resorts
to the political practices of irresponsible, wid-eyed
seeker of precinct post
Osborn twists and distorts figures in effort to
bolster his claims For example: The governor gnashes
his and walls about the transfer of $4,400
900 school maintenance from counties to the state lie
claims the present rate of $126second highest in
history-shoud be only 25 cents, after deductng
81 01 for school costs The highest rate Was Sl6l last
year, also under Osborn)
But he doesn't tell the people that $500 900 MORE
in taxes and collected last year than dur
ing his preceding year The increase is in sales income
and luxury taxes first of which falls heavily the little
fellows So giving him credit for the transfer of school
maintenance the cost of government last under O
born still 81 100 900 MORE than in any other year.
Osborn exaggerates the states cash balance of June
80 1912 by S390000 the amount the state treasurer
reported the tax commission for purposes of establish
ing the tax rate.
And so it goes. on down the line Osborn has told
and continues to tell, many haf-truths and unruhs
that who know what is going in state govern
ment have lost all confidence of his statements
1t is a sad commentary high offcialdom when
stoops to such tactics in attempt to gain
political point.
Such conduct is in marked contrast with the clean
type Of campaign waged by former Gov. Bob Jones
The former chief executive and longtime Pinal
tx resident all issues in straightforward
And matter of record he is the only candidate
for governor to present definite program for the post
period. For these alone he should be
mated by overwhelming vote.
1t is matter of wide comment that Bob Jones
tnues have nearly every of his old friends urging
his reelection. Osborn seemingly has broken with old
friends for reason another. Even his campaign
managers other years either running against him
working against him. Surely all of these former
cates can't be Doesn't the thought to most
reasonable there must be quirk of kind in
the governors makeup that brings about these breaks
with those who have been intimately connected with him?
That is the reason Osborn has to find support from
those who haven't lived in Arizona long enough to
quire good coat of tan.

fashions-even more queer-in past
times. Among these were the
horned hat" and the "hennin."
The horned hat was worn in
Europe during the 18th century. 1t
rose above the head until it formed
two peaks or horns" and reminded
people of the horns on a bull. Some
persons said that the horns looked
like those on the head Of Satan"
The hennin was worn in the same
century-about 500 years ago. 1t is
better described by the name OF
"steeple hat"
Hennins were cone-shaped, and
were compared to church steeples.
They helped short women to look
tall, and tall women seemed to tower
above the tallest men.
Each steeple hat was fitted with
a piece of lace or other material
which hung from the peak, down
over the back.
When q woman with such a hat
on her head came to a doorway,
she had to take care that there
was enough room for her hat to
pass through. Otherwise, the hat
was likely to strike the top Of the
doorway and to be knocked from
her head.
A French king ordered carpenters
to cut larger doorways in one Of his
castles. This was done so the queen
and her ladies could pass through
without too much worry.
When horned hats and hennins
went out Of fashion, many husbands
were pleased that they no longer
would have to pay for such costly
headgear.

JOBS ON BRIDGES
 MAY GO TO WOMEN
Applications for Toll Col. lecting Posts Remain
 Open Until Aug. 20

For the first time since the en- ployment of toll collectors on Con- necticut bridges or parkways, such jobs are being opened to women, Glendon A. Scoboria, State Person nel Director, announced Wednes- day.
 Applications to take the competi- tive examinations for these jobs, most of which will be at toll sta tions on the new Charter Oak Bridge at Hartford, the director said, will be received by his office through August 20. Both men mad women are eligible to apply for the $500 year jobs.
 One of the prime requirements of the job, MT. Scohoria said, is "con- siderable physical endurance" In the event that women are given aS- signments on the basis of the oral examination results they will be placed on an equal footing with corresponding male employees and specially-governed only by State la bor laws regulating employment hours for female workers.
 Applications for the jobs must have not less than four years full time employment, part of which at least must have been as cashier, ticket seller, bus driver or similar capacity; or be a graduate from high schcool; or have satisfactory equivalent combination of experience and training. ,,.
 Duties of the toll collector will be to make change, collect fees and give directions to inquiring motor ists. MT. Scoboria pointed out that "a toll collector meets at first hand many visitors to the state, and his courtesy and helpfulness can create a favorable reputation for the de- parment and the entire state serv- ice" ,,,
 Oral examination for the jobs will be held at the State Capitol pe- tween August 26 and 29. Interested persons are requested to apply for application blanks or further Spe- cific information concerning prere- ouisites at the office of the Per- sonnel Department, third floor, State Capitol, or any office Of the United States Employment Servlce.
 MT. Scoboria also announced Wed nesday that applications for the state position of State Police Wom- an, $500 a year plus maintenance will be accepted through August 70. Candidates for this position must meet rigid physical requirements and &lso present satisfactory ex- perience and training records.

 The total of 289,027 votes cast in this contest is the greatest number for any poll in the almost seven years they have been conducted, and indicates a considerably heightened public interest in bands and band music since the poll six months ago, when the total votes cast was 253,- 725.
