ASSIST DELEGATE CAMERON

Statehoodi
 That is the goal for which Arizona Is striving.
 It was the main issue of the campaign which closed last Tuesday night in the selection of Ralph Cameron, republican nominee for delegate to congress.
 The dominant parties did not disagree on this question.
 The republican national platform de- clared for tho immediate admission of Arizona as a state.
 The democratic national platform was equally as emphatic in proclaiming for the proposed new star in the galaxy of states. When the national conventions had adjourned and the news was wired back to the people of Arizona they were overjoyed, and the only question left for them to decide was whether a repub- hean or a democrat could best serve them in the national legislature.
 Mark Smith and Ralph Cameron were nominated and a strenuous campaign followed during which not stone was left unturned. Statehood was made the issue of this campaign and when the ballots were counted on Tuesday night 1t was discovered that a very healthy majority of the suffragists of the terri. tory had expressed greater faith in the ability of Cameron to do things
 Cameron has been named as the peo, ple's representative
 Not the representative of the repub hcan party, but the entire people of the territory and is entitled to the assist ance and cooperation of all regardless of political beliefs or prejudices. The Silver Belt believes that Mir. Cameron will make grand fight for statehood and 1t believes that victory will come as a reward. But Mir. Cameron is going to need assistance and he should have it from every loyal Arizonan. His de sire is to faithfully serve the people of this territory and 1t has never been questioned. Democrats believed that the moro experienced Mark Smith was the man needed just at this time, but the people heard the evidence and the verdict has ben fairly rendered.
 Ralph Cameron is our representative
 Arizona wants statehood.
 Through MT. Cameron's efforts aided by influential partizans of all parties we are going to get 1t and there should be no discordant faction running about to place even a pebble in tho path of the newly elected delegate.
 MT. Cameron may not be a statesman in the way that most statesmen are measured, but he has proven himself to be a man who does things-a plain husky business man, and the innovation of such representative may bs de- cidedly agreeable to the people of Ari. zona.
 Give the new representative full sup port and sympathy and should ho land statehood and show a disposition to serve well the people of the new com monwealth he will not only have the respect and confidence of the people, but will be retained as Arizona's rep resentative in congress-first as repre- sentative-then as senator.
 Here's wishing MT. Cameron success and proffering him assistance in every undertaking calculated to advance the interests of the people and make a greater Arizona.

did not strike. On many of the lines
no attempt was made to run cars

HIS ADDRESS A

Great General Conference of Methods

LBy Associated Press. ]

Washington, May 16.-Hundreds
of ministers and delegates attending
the great general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church this af-
ternoon listened to an address de
livered to them by President Roose-
welt.
The address was delivered at the
exercises and reception held at the
American University in honor of the
thousands of ministers and laymen
who are attending the conference.
President Roosevelt was given an
ovation by the big gathering and his
address was received with enthusi-
asm.
He spoke as follows;
1T is a pleasure to be With you
today and to b'd yOu welcome on be-
half of the nation. here in the capital
of the nation. Important thoush the
Methodist church IS in many lands.
there is none in which it has played
so great and pecul ar par, as here
in the United States. Its history is
indissolubly interviewer with the his
tory OF our country for the six score
years since the constitutional con-
vention made US really n nation.
Methodism in America entered on its
period OF rapid growth just about
the time of Washington's first presi-
dency. Its essential democracy, its
fiery and restless energy of spirit,
and the wide play that it We to III
dividual initiative, all tended TO
make it peculiarly congenial to a
hardy and virile folk, democratic to
the core, prizing individual inds-
pendence above all earthly possess
sions, and engaged in the rough ana
stern work of conquering q contin-
nent. Methodism spread even among
the old communities and the long
settled districts of the Atlantic tids

When an attempt was made to
start cars from the Lakewood barns
non-union crews were attacked and
a sharp melee ensued in which scores
of men were dubbed by the police.
Chief Kohler and a number of offic-
ers rushed to the scene and dispers-
ed the crowd. The chief was struck
in the neck with a stone but was not
seriously injured. An attempt to run
cars on Payne avenue was frustrated
by strike sympathizers who took
away the controller lever and cut the
trolley rope.
A crew on the st. Clair avenue line
were dragged from their car by a
mob. The conductor was badly
beaten, his head being laid open with
brick. Leaders of the union claim
that the company has systematically
laid off union men and given every
indication of an intention to force
them out of service.

Within the past eight months two
or three men have been drowned in
the Grand river at points far above
Grand Junction. and at least one of
these bodies lthat of workman
drowned near Shoshone) was never

states that the body above the arm
pits was gone. He Is pretty certain
that the body is that of a white man.
He feels sure that the body must
have been in the water for many
months, probably year, owing to
its condition and the condition OF
the clothing which was rotten and
ready to fall to pieces.
The suspenders found on the body
had the word "Police" on the buck
les. The drawers were common neg-
ligee goods. There was a necktie
and handkerchief in a pocket of the
trousers. The shoe found on the left
foot was number .. The right
foot was entirely gone.
