Letter from Frank H. Blighton to Miles Poindexter

As requested by E. W. Scripps, Frank H. Blighton sends Senator Poindexter a copy of the newspaper “Voice of the People,” containing a portion of a letter offering a complaint made to President William H. Taft regarding the inability of Arizonans to remove corrupt judges. Blighton asks Poindexter to consider the issue, and not to vote to amend Arizona’s proposed constitution to remove the right of recall. The current judge of the first judicial district of Arizona, Judge John H. Campbell, is thoroughly corrupt, and has acted poorly at the bench.
