BEST MAN EVER SENT
FROM THE TERRITORY
That Is M. r. Loring's Opinion of
Ralph Cameron as Expressed
In Correspondence.

Mr.. Philip X Hickey. well known
citizen OF Phoenix. with offices i'm the
Fleming block. has letter from NJ.
Il. Loring. a former resident of this
city but now a resident of Washing
ton. ID. g. which is highly indicative
of the esteem in which Ralph Cam
eron is held by those who have had
opportunity To- observe his work since
he has represented Arizona in the
national congress
The letter was written i'm Septem-
Der. before the campaign opened and
with no idea that il would be used
for campaign purposes Recognizing
the value of such an expression of re
gard from man as well known
throughout Arizona as is Mr. Loring
the latter was prevailed upon by Mr.
Hickey to permit its publication. The
letter follows:

1911. Dear Philip: Was much
pleased To receive your letter of re-
cent date. and especially To learn that
Ralph Cameron. There is no doubt
in my mind that he is the very best
man that Arizona ever sent to con-
gress. l have personally known of
three other representatives and while
of course they had the desire. they
simply could not get the goods as
Cameron does. An investigation OF
the records will. l think. substantiate
me i'm this
Cameron is a live wire i'm the full
sense of the word and coupled with
this he has a personality that ena-
bles him To- get things Why. just look
at his work in landing statehood for
the territory. regard it as almost
a miracle. 1t would have been re-
markablc for full-fledged member
to have brought it about. but when
"A representative without a vote puts
il through il is going some
4 don't think that the majority
Of the people realize what task it
was.
And, there is another thing. don't
let 'em fool you that it was the
combined work of many. for Cam
er0n was the general and the army
from the start To- the finish Aside
from the fulfillment of his platform
pledge ca thing rare in politics.. ne
had done a lot of things for ndivid-
uals and is always willing to help SER
vices and office are always at the dis
posal of Arizonians. This is evidenced
by the office force that he maintains
here in Washington Instead of the
usual secretary he has two or three
clerks all of the time and going at
fun blast too Yours sincerely,
M T.. LORI\G."

SMITH IS TOO LAZY
SAYS LORDSDURG MAN

Don Kedzie. editor al the Lordsbure
Liberal. who has had ample opportuni-
~ located as he is on the Arizona
New Mexico line. TO make careful stu
Idy of the situation and who. having 10
interests directly at stake can take an
impartial view has the following to sa>
lot the political contest now beinc
Iwaged in this state:
The people Of Arizona are having
the time of their life this election. 1t
seems about as much objection is be
ing expressed against the democratic
ring in that state as appeared again s.
the republican machine in New Mexico
and the result MAJ be similar"
The Arizonans have little more to
fight for than did the New Mexicans.
III that they have an advisory vot. for
senator. and the senatorial campaign
Is the hottest portion of the fight. Mark
Smith, the democratic candidate. is an
old time campaigner and if ne was not
50 lazy would stand good show of
pulling through. but when in congress
Mark hated to work. and now he hates
t. get around"
Ralph Cameron is an equally eff
cient campaigner. and there is not a
lazy hair on his body He did great
work in congress. and is doing equally
great work in campaign"
The most that can be said for Ash
urst. the other democratic candidate. is
that he wants the job No one can
give any reason why he should have
it except that he is democrat. and
that Is not much of an argument
among the socialists. who make up q
good percentage Of the democratic
party"
'Hoval Smith the other republican
candidate. came to Arizona without a
cent. and has brought more money into
-irizora than any one man. He is
Known To the miners as one Of them.
and It IS freely predicted that when
the votes are cast he will lead the
bunch. 1t was thought n rather laugh
lass joke on the republicans when New
Mexico elected So many democrats. and
came close To- electing some more. IT
Arizona likewise turn about and elect
a lot Of republicans the joke would be
appreciated by some who would see no
joke i'm the New Mexico returns"

advocates the use of product, you NAV
be absolutely assured of its purity and
healthtulness. In a recent speech DR..
Wiley commended in strongest terms
the use OF Cotton Oil as one of our most
valuable food constituents, stating that
undoubtedly better health would follow
its general use. Cottolene-,he perfect

in Cotton Oil cooking fats for over a

MEAT AND MILK INSPECTION
NEEDED.

One Of the things urgently needed
to protect the health and raise the
sanitary standard of this community
is the appointment Of a competent
veterinary inspector to supervise the
butchering and sale of the meat fur
nishea to the people through the To-
cal public and private markets.
Under present conditions there is
nothing to prevent stock dealers
from supplying the local butchers
with tuberculous cattle and hogs, and
it is to the interest of both the
butchers and their patrons that the
suggested system of inspection be
adopted.
1t could also be made the duty OF
the proposed official to inspect the
COWS MIXED in the various diaries
to, regulate the establishment and
style of public drinking troughs SC
as to prevent the spread of CLAN
ders. and to exercise general super
vision over and safeguard the public
health in SO far as it is menaced
| by the sale of diseased or impure
meat or other foodstuffs of an ami
NAL nature.
| There is little room to doubt thai
much of the meat offered for sale
in the local markets is diseased ano
that great deal of the milk con
sumed here is impure. and it Woulo

An EXPRESSION of Appreciation.

Donaldsonyille, La, June 16, 1911.
Editor Chief:
/ take pleasure in informing you
that my big Today bargain sale is
proving a grand success, a fact
which I attribute in large measure to
the wide circulation your paper has
throughout this section of country.
People are coming into my store
daily from adjoining parishes, large
number of whom state that they read
my advertisement of this great sale
in the Donaldsonville Chief. l am a
firm believer in printers ink, and
it is my sincere opinion that if more
advertising were done through the
columns of your valuable paper it
would have a tendency to bring to
Donaldsonville trade which we would
otherwise not secure.
My store has been crowded daily
since the opening of the present
sale On the 18th inst, and that my
patrons are duly appreciative OF the
exceptional bargains offered for theil
consideration is fully attested by
the volume of sales to date. I have
a force of fifteen competent sales
people on hand to serve the trade
and all who visit my store are guar.
anteed prompt attention and cour
teous treatment, as well as a refund
Of their money if not entirely salts

Wishing your paper and staff al
the success you deserve, am,

PROMINENT LOCAL FRA
TERNALLSTS.

The elevation of Hon. Paul Leche of
Donaldsonville to the position of state
deputy of the Knights of Columbus for
Louisiana adds one more to the already
numerous list of citizens Of this town and
parish who have attained stations OF
eminence and distinction in the ranks OF
fraternalism.
L. E. Bentley, who founded the Donald
sonville Chief forty years ago this summer,
has just concluded his second two-year
term as supreme dictator of the Knights
of Honor, which is next to the oldest fra
ternal protective or insurance order in
the United States.
DR.. Felix Gaudin, who practiced DENTS
| try in Donaldsonville several years and
found his charming wife among the bellies
of our community, has been for several
years at the head Of the Catholic knights
Of America.
DR.. John S. Thibaut. vice president and
cashier of the Bank of Ascension and an
almost lifelong resident of Donaldsonville,
is serving second yearly term as wor-
shipful master of the Louisiana grand
lodge of Masons.
| Sidonius Goette, James Fortier and
Frederick Landry of this town have all
been officers of the Louisiana grand lodge,
Ancient Order of United Workmen.
Alfred G. Whidden, formerly Of Donald
sonville and an attache Of The Chief, was
great sachem of the Improved Order of
Red Men for Louisiana, and Louis Boston
of DonaldsonviAe's eastern suburb now oc-
cupies the same position.
Robert Henderson, a wellknoWn Don
aldsonvillian, is one of the most promi-
nent and successful field workers and Of
fcials in the Woodmen of the World Of
this state, and Prof. D. B. Showalter the
present head consul commander of this
order for Louisiana, was formerly parish
superintendent of public education here
and consul commander Of the local Wood
mems camp, Olive No. 18.
Mrs. w. D. Park of Donaldsonville is
first vice president Of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy for Louisiana, showing
that our ladies as well as our men are
capable of winning distinction.
| R. NJ Sims was formerly president of
the Louisiana Bankers Association; Jas
min Tobias has been an officer of the
Louisiana Firemen's Associations; Henry
l.. We'll is member of the grand tribunal
of the knights of Pythias; the late j.
| Elphege Leblanc rose from the ranks in
Donaldsonville Lodge No. 1888, knights of
Honor, to be grand dictator for Louisiana.
] No doubt other citizens of this commu-
nifty whose names are not here given have
held positions of honor and note in the
fraternal organizations of the state and
nation. but the list above cited is enough
to demonstrate that Donaldsonville has
quite remarkable record for supplying
material for such stations.
