Many Good Democrats Out for Governor
In this early year many capable Democrats are lining up for the gubernatorial race. Charles Roberts, Cochise County supervisor and former state senator, leads a field that includes James Boyce, a state aide from the north, attorney general Jones, land commissioner Moeur, and Mulford Windser of Yuma. Windser, linked to Hunt and Osborn, is viewed as a strong contender, with Prescott’s former head of the Arizona Democratic Party noted for business skill. The field promises a hard-fought primary as Democrats weigh candidates amid Republican intrigue.
