Look out or wen break another
pledge to give Arizona statehood"
In every precinct in Arizona this is
the threat republicans are making in
their effort to swing support to Ralph
Cameron.
Each aud every voter is being told
that unless Arizona sends Cameron to
congress the republicans in the house
of representatives will repudiate their
national platform aid refuse to pass
single statehood bill.
Added to this, the republicans are
saying that they have positive prom
ises Arizona will be admitted at the
short session of congress in December
if Cameron wins.
Who are these national leaders, who
are SO much bigger than the conven-
ton in Chicago, which made the re
publican platform, that they can say
to the people of Arizona that they can
have statehood if they elect a repub-
lican delegate?
We have beer relying some what
on the promises of President Roose-
welt that he viii get Arizona into the
union. In the face of all this faith.
we are being told by his oficeholders
in Arizona that unless we elect Cam
eron there will be DO statehood.
Arizona will ponder long and earn
estly before it turns itself over to the
tender mercies of political party
that to our face promises us one
thing and as soon as we are out Of
hearing ties a dishonest string to the
proffered gift.
No, if Arizona cannot trust the re-
publicans who made that platform at
Chicago, then it cannot trust any
promises that are made in the hours
of darkness and are in no way bind
ing.
! If Cameron's friends desire to elect
him to congress, they will have to try
something more graceful than this
double-dealing. 1t is double-dealing of
the most contemplate order for any
political party to make a platform
pledge and then privately inform its
lieutenants that the pledge means no
thing, but can be used as means
to some other end.
Republicans have been Boosting
about the statehood plank in their
platform, but out of their own mouths
they are branding It as a group of
meaningless words They are giving
the direct lie to their own party, max
ing of it a thing to be regarded with
suspicion on all occasions
Arizona wants statehood above all
things, but 1t will make no dishonor-
able trade with the republican party
to secure it. Statehood or no state
hood. Arizona will stand by Delegate
Mark Smith, the one man whose path
has always been straight on the state
hood issue.
Why, they are running this man
Cameron for congress in an atmo-
sphere of deceit and bad faith. They
are making him the tool of coterie
OF men who are running him on a
platform of threats to break pledge
| Arizona has been in this statehood
fight SO long that its eyes have been
opened, and it's wisdom teeth are cut.
1t has ceased to place any confidence
