CHAIRMAN
FLAYS GOV. PYLE

A charge made last week by the
Republican candidate for governor
that the Democratic party in Ari-
zona has been taken over by cap
tive candidates of labor bosses"
was characterized by o. L. McDan-
iel, chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, as
bitter, TRADE by a man trying to
divert attention from the issues
of the campaign"
The governors charge was lev
eled at a Phoenix Press Club forum
and constituted the bulk of his
remarks, both in his address and
a question and answer period that
followed.
Mcdaniel also pointed to the
Republican candidates claim that
the Democratic nominees were
successful only because of rela-
lively light turnout of voters in
the primary election.
Gould it be-" said Mcdaniel,
that the governor and his party
have become alarmed at the un-
miStakeable and overwhelming
trend toward Democratic candi-
dates and ideals which was writ
ten in the primary? The people
have become diSillusioned at his
lack of leadership, evidenced by
his acknowledged inability to get
along with the legislature.
Evidently irritated by this
knowledge and cropping for some
other ground on which to stand,
the governor has made the terrible
mistake of attacking the intelli-
gence and integrity of the people
who are the electorate of this state
and who twice have given him the
opportunity of bringing leadership
to the governors office, which,

The Green and White will defend

First game jitters are evident
with some members of the squad.

In a workout under the lights the
Tigers showed promise in the right
departments. Big Edward ''Turk"
Clarke showed well with his bull
like rushes. Joe Kee and Donald
Carey were efficient in the pitch
out plays. In the forward wall Theo-
dore Suarez was a standout on de-
fense and offenSe.
The Tigers must operate tonight
as a well knit unit because of the
number on the squad. This factor
will stare them in the face right
down to the final whistle of the
final game.
Delray Beach will offer its us
ual bag of tricks. These tricks can
begin at the kickoff as was evil
denced here several years. ago.
The Eagles had kickoff forma-
ton that really set up the opposi-
ton for the kill. Tonight will be
no exception for the Delray Beach
boys as they are out to avenge the
defeat of last season at the hands
of the Tigers.
Injuries have been few in the
Tigers lair, and fortunately so be-
cause of the limited squad. Billy

jured list. Alfred Curry and James
