Problems of mining companies also must be taken into consideration. One of Mr.

1, 2, 3 and Chandler, East and West; Alma; Gilbert; Heard: Lehl; Broadway; Kyrene; Goodyear and Higley. Mr. Steward was first elected a supervisor in Maricopa county In 1904 and served out his term of four years. He was elected again to that position in 1920 and completes his term December 31, next. These two terms, the candidate feels, have well qualified him to protect the taxpayers' interests and have given him the necessary experience to administer county affairs judiciously and expeditiously.

Mr. Steward pledges himself. If elected, to "be on the Job every day in the future as I have done la the past." ffv -Mil -8 Because the Arizona law prohibits candidates for judge of the supreme court having their names placed on ballots at general elections as party candidates, Charles F. Ainsworth is waging his contest for that office strictly on a non-partisan basis. Mr.

Ainsworth is a college and law school graduate and has practiced his profession over 45 years. 36 years of which has been in Maricopa county. He was district attorney of Jackson county, Wisconsin, for 10 yeais, and attorney general of the territory of Arizona for four years, and has practiced in the United States supreme court 24 years. He is strictly temperate, using neither liquor nor Judge Ainsworth contends that Central Arizona, the principal agricultural section, with nearly half the population of the state, is entitled to representation on the supreme bench. Judge McAllister from Graham county Represents the southern part of the state, and Judge Ross from Yavapai county represents the northern section.

Judge Lyman of Maricopa county, retiring, leaves central Arizona without representation unless Mr. Ainsworth is elected his successor. The candidate stands where the constitution of Ai-izona declares lie shall stand, at the head Of the ballot, above partisan politics, for all the people. L. R.

Mr. Allen is a family man and a taxpayer in this county. He resides at Mesa.
