The article notes Governor McCord being vindicated in the United States and recalls the oath of office in Charlotteville Virginia with Chief Justice Harlan officiating. It mentions Akers taking duties until McCord’s arrival, and references Alaska gold rumors and a controversial affidavit accusing Col. M. F. McCord as a drunkard, which a Senate committee deemed false.
The Arizona Senate confirmed Col M H McCord as governor by 59 to 8 after a prolonged battle over his character. The investigation found the numerous affidavits groundless, and McCord emerged vindicated, with widespread public rejoicing across the territory.
The endorsement praises Col McCord as a man of clean record and strong qualifications. It argues he will govern with honor, serve the territory’s best interests, and excludes hoodlums from consideration. The piece asserts broad public support for his candidacy.
