The second hook is quite long, though the rules do say that "''(pictured)''" doesn't count in the character total, which brings it below the magic 200.

I think ALT1 suffers from its length and still not being able to include that he was the Arizona Territory delegate, which would help it make sense; I also think "for his work" is odd.

This is my first nomination to DYK and my first review, so another editor should check and verify this. I approve of the article as it seems to meet all of the basic DYK requirements. It could use a few grammar and style adjustments (I'll do my best in assisting in this). The first hook is fun, but because it doesn't specify exactly who accused him, I would disqualify it. Same for the second hook, which goes over 200 characters and is a bit wordy. The third hook I like, but my personal preference would be to use the wording from "transformed from a long-term..." to "switched from being a long-term..."

- Technically, all three hooks are within the rules. It isn't necessary to give all the details in the hook, so as the original hook is accurate in what it says, it's fine, and I'm approving it. The second hook is quite long, though the rules do say that "(pictured)" doesn't count in the character total, which brings it below the magic 200. Still, 200 is a maximum, and hooks that are close can still not be approved at the reviewer's discretion. My preference is for the original hook, with ALT2 a distant second (it doesn't hook me nearly as well, though I agree that "transformed" should be changed to "switched" or even "changed").
