He also served as the representative from Greenlee County in the State House of Representatives in the 1st Arizona State Legislature.[2] During the 1900s, he established and ran the Clifton Dairy, which he sold in 1910.[3][4] He married Myrtle McDowell on July 14, 1912.[5] In 1916 he ran for the State Senate from Greenlee County. He defeated J. W. Aker in the Democrat's primary, and then defeated Republican R. W. Chamberlain in the general election in November.[6][7]
