Arizona republican., 1910-07-14

i time next week he will return to Phoe- nix on his way home.
 | Speaking of the statehood fight, Mir Cameron modestly gave much of the
 credit for the successful ending of it 1 to the warm friends of Arizona in Washington, notably to President Taft and Postmaster General Hitchcock.
 Now that everything that the pres i ident and congress could do, having been done for the present, MT. Cam eron trusted that the people of the ter ritory would do their part in the prep aration of a constitution that would meet the approval of those who will have the last word. He believed that such a constitution would be adopted; that there were more conservative and careful voters in the territory than there were experimenting radicals. He believed that the good Judgment of the voters would disregard party lines.
 Since there had been a disposition on the part of the democrats to make party contest of it. MT. Cameron had no doubt that the republicans would win in the election of constitutional delegates There was a reason why they should win that ought to appeal to all voters who care more for the territory and the future state of Ari- zOna than they do for party adVan- tage.
 With the passage of the statehood bill, said Mr Cameron, Arizona has not got all from congress and the ad- ministration that it has a right to eX pect There will be. for instance, ad- ditional grants of land; there will be public buildings and there will be many things which ought to come to Arizona as a sort of dowry. It was natural. said the delegate, that a re publican administration and a republi can congress would be more likely to make these freevill offerings if they believed that AriZna was properly ap preciative of what had already been done for it.
 There is no democratic administra ton to which Arizona can look for gifts There is no democratic con gress and, said MT. Cameron. there will be no none, at east until long aft CT statehood is complete.
 This statement led to a discussion of national prospects. MT. Cameron said that at one time before there had been true measure of popular senti- ment throughout the country there was some doubt as to the complexion of the next house. The situation was clouded by reports of popular dissatis- faction and by the apparent strength of insurgency. It had been discovered that the insurgent sentiment was greatly exaggerated; most of it was in congress. The people at large have lately shown a firm faith in old re- publican principles. The brilliant completion of the legislative program of President Taft and the expressions of favorable opinion which have come from all parts of the country have cleared away the clouds. In conclu- sion, Mir Cameron said the election of a republican house, by perhaps a reduced majority, might be regarded as a certainty.
 Mir Cameron's secretary, "Trapper Jack" who remained in Washington to dispose of odds and ends of busi- ness will meet him at Douglas today
 Postmaster General Hitchcock will visit MT. Cameron sometime in August between the twelfth and the twentieth. The indefiniteness of the date is made necessary by the uncertainty as to the time when the Moquis will have their annual snake dance which Mir. Hitch cock is coming to see. After that he will take a horseback ride over a con siderable part of the territory as he did last year.
