EXPECTS To SPLIT
THE ARIZONA VOTE
Continued from Pase i

/ ton for United States senator (advis-
] ory) gives Mark Smith CDemocrat).
I the largest total they pledge them
/ selves to elect him; then If Ralph
] Cameron or HOval Smith happen to
poll larger vote than Ashurst the
1 other Democrat they will vote for
I him. The Democrats have thus far
not made any such pledges, it is stated
and their election implying that in
the event Of Democratic control of the
legislature, they viii vote for the two
Democrats for United States senator
I Unless they change, the Republicans
charge that this is going back on the
I Democratic contention that the people
| ought to rule, even 10 having the priv
Iege OF recalling their judges
Cameron and Smith.
Many people in this district want to
see Ralph Cameron elected senator be-
cause Of the work he has done for
Arizona, they want to show him that
there is gratitude even in politics, vet
they want to see Mark Smith 90 up as
senator, too Under the pledges of
the Republicans running for the house
and senate, they can have both, for
way, and elect Republican legislator,
their representative will vote that
way, while the unpledged Democrat is
expected to vote for the two Demo
Gratis, regardless of the wishes of his
constituency.
Then there are a lot of others who
want to split their vote between Mark
Smith and HOval A. Smith, the other
Republican candidate, for Hoval Smith
began his career as a miner in Ari-
IONA in the MOrenci-Clifton district.
and all the old timers think a great
deal Of him Here is what the Clifton
Copper Era prints Of him in its Mo-
renci department, and the Era is sup
posed TO be Democratic, for Bill Kelly

fraternity-he has always been reck-
oned a right smart Of a Democrat:
"Hoval Smith followed (speaking at
a rally) and he recognized many faces
in the audience whom he had known
when he was a fellow workman with
them here in MOrenCi. 1t was pleas
ure and a treat to them to meet him
and for him to meet those VINO had
known and been his friends at that
time. Smith is advocating different
laws for the prOspectOr and miner. and
he viii be remembered as standing out
for policies he has always stood for,
to develop the mines and help our in
dustries"
