 It was but a few minutes until the | committee, escorting Gov. Sloan and | Delegate Cameron. arrived in the hall;
 and then it was that pandemonium ! broke loose again when Chairman ! MintZ led MT. Cameron to the front
 of the stage and introduced him to 1 the crowd.
 There was no mistaking anything | MT. Cameron had to say. He told his 1 audience he was in the race for Unit
 ed States Senator and that he had de- | layed making formal announcement
 of that fact until he came to Phoenix. | That was the signal for another out | burst of cheering. He told them of
 the promises he had made three years | ago and he challenged any man to say | those promises had not been kept. He | said he had not a doubt that Ari- Zona will start on her statehood career
 under charge of the Republican party and that brought forth another cheer ' that made one wonder Wher, the l crowd kept all its noise concealed. Tt is a great pleasure for me to meet you here" Mir Cameron said Three years ago I went before the people of Arizona and asked them to elect me their delegate to Congress: and when l did that I also made cer- tain promises. I made those prom ises in good faith and I believe con scientiously that I have delivered the goods (Applause). I have no apology
 to make for any single act of my term I did what I thought was right
 
 themselves (Long continued applause). And l think I may modestly claim share in securing the boon of state hood. With the help of the admins tration and of some of the citizens of Arizona l have been able to d. what I said I would do when you Commis- stoned me to represent you in the city of Washington CApplause). And I want to say to you now that the Re publicans of Arizona have the best chance they have ever had to CD great things for our glorious state: and ev- cry Republican should put his should CT to the wheel and aid in the task that confrOnts us Let cs get the as- sistance of the republican administra- tion to relieve the burdens that bear upon lIt SllOulutIS Ol lllt Il-eDlt- fil this valley-let us secure an extension of time for the payment of the cost of this great reclamation project-or better still let the burden of that pro ject be borne by the people of the whole country (Applause).
 Now I am going to say something that I have refrained from saying un- til I came to PhoeniX-I am going to say that I shall be a candidate for the United States senate Loud ap- plause) And if you will honor my re- quest I will promise the same single ness of purpose and the same kind of service which I think I can claim to have performed while acting as your delegate for the past three years" Loud applause and cheerinG.
 Then MT Mintz introduced Cover nor Sloan as "one of the best gov ernors Arizona has ever had That the crowd heartily echoed that sen timent the wild shout of approval that went up bore eloquent witness. The governor had to wait for the noise to die down before he could proceed with his address.
 Governor Sloan has delivered many good speeches since the people of Phoenix have come to know him. but it is doubtful if he ever delivered a better one than that of yesterday af- ternOon.
 This has been rather strenuous day for me" said the governor. "The first thing I did this morning was to issue the proclamation for the first election for the state of Arizona (Ap- plause). The second thing I did was to attend a conference where I found Republicans present from every coun- ty in the state; and third have come here to meet the Republicans of Mari | copa county
 Gentlemen I want to say to you to- day that I am full of confidence that | the Republican party is going to sue ceed in the coming election. This is not buncombe. for it is my candid | opinion that when the votes are count 1 ed at the coming election the people | of this state will find that they are | living in a Republican commonwealth | and that you, gentlemen of MariCOpa 1 county. will find that you are living | in a Republican county, Applause).
 "The Republican party believes in | an intelligent support of republican | principles And it believes in more | than that. IT believes in law and in | the support of all law. I call your at tention to the fact that the Democratic | party, which was in control of the | constitutional convention. enacted a | primary law, a measure of which pro | vides for an advisory vote for United | States senators. And I want to say | here and now that the Democratic | party will be held to a strict regard | for that law. both in the letter and | spirit And if it shall come to pass ! in the chances of politics. that a Dem | ocratfc legislature be elected and if ! at the same time two republicans be | endorsed for the United States sen | ate. we propose to see to it that that | Democratic legislature shall elect | those two republicans to the senate of | the United States (Applause).
 "The republican party is the party l of progress (applause). It is proud ! of it's history-proud of its achieve ments It is proud of what it has done in the nation it is proud of what it has done here in Arizona And it will be proud of its further
