Can McCain resist the alcohol lobby?
"Eugene V. Hensley

and his brother James W. Hensley*,

who purchased controlling stock of Ruidoso Racing Association in
December 1952, once worked for and with Kemper Marley, Phoenix
millionaire rancher and wholesale liquor dealer. And When the Hensley
brothers purchased control of the Lincoln County track, Phoenix
gambler Clarence E. "Teak" Baldwin simultaneously bought one-third of
the race track stock — something the Hensleys denied in a State Racing
Commission hearing in May 1953. Marley, 70, was named recently in a
police affadavit as the man who requested the contract killings of
Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles, slain in a bomb attack last June
and Arizona Attorney General Bruce Babbitt."

What makes this even vaguely relevant is the fact that without his
father-in-law (the bootlegger, racetrack owner and mob connected beer
distributor), McCain probably never would have been elected to
Congress in the first place
John McCain derived his wealth from his marriage to Cindy Hensley
McCain, whose father started his road to riches as a bootlegger.

Like his father and grandfather before him, McCain was a career Navy
officer. His earning power and his inheritance were modest. At its
peak, his pay as a captain was about $45,000.

*A federal jury in U.S. District Court of Arizona in March 1948
convicted James Hensley

on seven counts of filing false liquor records in addition to the
conspiracy charge. Eugene was convicted on 23 counts of filing false
statements and the conspiracy count. Eugene was sentenced to one year
in prison, and James to six months. Neither brother testified during
the trial, relying instead on their lawyers, who included Louis B.
Whitney, a prominent attorney who served as mayor of Phoenix from 1923
through 1925.
James Hensley profited handsomely from his association with liquor
magnate Kemper Marley, a man police suspect ordered the 1976 murder of
Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles, who had written about Marley's
business and political dealings. The man convicted of placing a bomb
beneath Bolles' car testified that Marley also wanted former Arizona
governor and then-attorney general Bruce Babbitt murdered because
Babbitt had filed an antitrust lawsuit against the liquor industry in
1975.

A Car BombIn 1976 a crusading Phoenix reporter, Don Bolles, was
murdered by a car-bomb after writing a series of stories exposing the
organized crime connections of well-known figures in Arizona,
including one Jim Hensley.
On February 26, 1953, James Hensley once again found himself charged
with federal liquor crimes. This time, the government alleged that
James Hensley and other officers of United Liquor Company and United
Liquor Supply Company falsified records to reduce the company's tax
bill.
On the opening day of the trial in federal court in Tucson, Judge
James A. Walsh granted a motion by Hensley's attorney -- former
Maricopa County Attorney Lynn Laney -- to dismiss all charges against
Hensley and other individuals. The case continued against the two
companies.

While John McCain enjoys a posh lifestyle, the only asset he reports
as personally owning, in addition to his $136,700 Senate salary, is
his Navy retirement pension, which totaled $49,668 in 1998. The
senator and his wife agreed to keep sole and separate property when
they signed an antenuptial agreement in 1980 prior to their marriage.
Senator McCain's personal wealth is tied completely to his wife.
And Cindy McCain remains beholden to her father.
At the top sits James Willis Hensley.
