solicit your votes Is Co ask you 10 give me your consideration. t"
 Hoval A. Smith.
 smiths reception was forecast of the tremendous vote he will poll at the general election. His incisive. clear-eut speech and lack of literary ,pyrotechnics combined with his force. ful businesslikc manner made him many friends. His speech dealt with the technical and statistical standing of Arizona and the way he hurled forth figures and facts showed that he is man who if sent Co the senate will be in position to aid Arizona because he understands it's needs and conditions. He said he stood for con. structive things,-that Yavapai conn. ity with its eight thousand square miles and its sixteen thousand people depended upon mining, wool and eat. tie products, and therefore they should be protected.
 He said that if the American raised 'cnttle were forced to compete in the open market with cattle raised in Mexico, Mexican cattle would be sold at Pacific coast ports at profit and still 30 per cent cheaper than Amer. fcan. | "My viewpoint as far as the tnriff is concerned IF the viewpoint of m Arizonsn. I want the maximum pro. lection for Arizona. (spplause).
 "I hope to secure an extension of the work of the Geological Survey. which is mapping ont our mineral wealth. The mining industry has not received enough aid and it should have national assistance. l wish 10 see the work of the Bureau of Mines continued and increased. Congress grants them hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually at the pres. ent time and this IS being spent in. vestignting dust explosions in tie Pennsylvania coal mines, and it is INV '"""h"' '" y"o h""N 'hef' aff fourteen billion tons of coal in Northern Arizona, and hope con. gross will pass National Power Act for the establishment of power plants in coal belts SO that miners and agri culturists can buy their power at forty dollars per horsepower per year, which is from one quarter to one fifth of what it costs the small rancher and prospector today.
 "I approve of the Port Lobos sehepe and if it goes through we will control the commerce of ten million people and among them many in our sister republic, Mexico. "Ashurst has said that if .Hoval Smith would pay his debts of fifty thousand dollars he would still owe fifty thousand dollars, that he has stolen three million dollars of Ari. zona's mineral wealth. In regard to the Warren claims I wish to say that the following is a quotation from the finding of the court: In place of Hoval A. smith and his associates being eensured they should be com mended, and then the court proceed. ed to censnre the men in the general land office.
 "I did not dream at that time that l would he n candidate for the United States senate, but said then and l say now that if can get the power ] will break up that bureau. cratic gang which is using this ser. vice to plunder the miner. I am go ing to try to work out some of the kinks from our mining isws.v
 .IIoval Smith met with an ovation as he returned Co his seat and al- though the hour wss late the audi. enee remained while Jack Williams made the concluding address.

 Williams said in part:
 My opponent has said that if I am elected l wiil not be a member of the demospatic caucus. We had an example in 1909 of a democratic caucus. Do you want any more of thatf Do you want your Legislators to go 10 Washington pledged to that democratic eaueusi Do you want your man bound up by a democratic caucus or do you want your man to 20 in there as a free lsneef' This manly outline of tho actual conditions appealed 10 the audience and they commenced 10 cheer and kept up their yoeiferops appreciation throughout Williams entire brilliant speech, Williams went into the question of free wool very thoroughly and showed inst m a suit worn by the average n N
