The article credits Governor Hughes with strong, honest leadership in the territory. He secured cancellation of Fort Bowie abandonment, pushed a bill offering two thousand acres of land for a prison farm, and introduced a bill to obtain $40,000 from the U S Treasury for prison support. He also notes funds due from 1867 to 1869 under liquor licenses were unpaid.
