CAMERON IS'GUS HICKEY
 CONFIDENT OF SAYS CLEARY HIS ELECTION ISSUED LIES
Elated At Reception Given Him In Warren District And Thinks
 He Will Carry CoChSe County And Entire State By Big Vote
Genial Arizonan Who Is Repre- senting People Against Hunt In Race For Governor Gives Reasons For Faith He Holds

Reasons For ram He HOldS "I shall never be able to forget that it was the vote of Cochise county that elected me to Congress in 1gOS," said Ralph Cameron. Republican nomi- nee for governor. just before he left the Warren District to continue his wonderful. whirl-wind campaign over the state. "I have now and always shall have a warm place in my heart fer Cochise county. You know we Re publicaus believe in reciprocity, and after ] am elected governor if 1t is in my power to do a legitimate favor for Cochise county and her citizens, l certainly shall take pleasure in so doing
 Why do you say when | am elect. ed governor instead of if ! am elect ed governor, ventured the reporter. You are speaking with positiveness about a future occurrence, when philo- sophy teaches us that nothing in the future is certain except death and taxes"
 You are quite right about that" responded the genial Cameron, with a winning smile. particularly that part of your statement which refers to taxes. IT you life in Arizona-and for myself l intend Co live and die here,-the most certain thing in the world is taxes Death is much less certain, for we live in the sunlight zone. the most salubriOus climate in the world and one which cheats death by postponing 1t indefinitely, but un- der our present administration there is no chance to beat the taxes. Our taxes. like good wine, increase in value with each passing year and unless we call halt soon we shall an be bankrupt
 "But in regard to my definite state ment about the next governor of the state. As a rule l do not speak with such pcsitiveness about future events, but in this case l have facts to prove the faith that is in me. When l ran for Congress in 1908 l knew was going to win. ] felt il in my bones, as the homely old epigram says, but this time l feel it all over. can sense it in the air. This campaign resembles the campaign to which referred in that it is being won in the last days. If you will pardon me for saying it, ! am coming strong in the home stretch. and ! am going 10 come under the wire with a bigger margin than I did in 1908"
 Listen" exclaimed tAe confident Cameron, as his face reflected the confidence that was in him, when came to the Warren District l classed Cochise County in the doubtful col umn. But l don't now. Ill carry al the northern counties. most of tho central ones, and if | can carry all the so-called doubtful counties by al large a vote as l am going to carry Cochise county. Tll be elected by surprisingly large majority"
 Say" said Cameron, as he antici pated his remarks with a whimsica laugh, "It really is to laugh the wal the democrats talk about the republi can smsh fund As a matter Of fac there never was a campaign conduct ed in Arizona with less money be hind it than we have. Hunt has mon ey galore behind him, some of whicl was secured by assessing the womel employees Of the state admins tratlon.r
 "But what Is our position? We ar the only party in the state which ha appealed to the individual voter send his contribution, no matter ho' small. to help along the ticket whtc really represents the people And yo would be surprised to know wit what a hearty response we have me And the most surprising part of it. ( the people who have not their hnge on the public pulse, as ] have, is tha nearly fifty per cent of our response both in sentiment and in money, hay come from Democrats. Hundreds Democrats are against Hunt, not b cause he is a democrat but becaus he isn't ] claim that ] more nearl represent the hopes and aspiration of the people of this state than an other candidate and the vote ne Tuesday is going to prove my asse tion"
