HAYDEN WAS WABBLY

HAYDEN WAS WABbIY
We were very much interested in
a dispatch sent out from Phoenix
concerning statement of Carl Hay
den, our congressional representative
to the effect that he favored the en-
actment of what is known as the
Susan B. Anthony amendment being
urged by national suffragists but
that he was opposed to the scheme
of the Congressional Union to Sc
cure its adoption. We find further
in statement which has been issued
by women who are interested in se-
curing the enactment of the amend
ment a statement that Mr.. Hayden
feared supporting the proposed fill
buster in the house of representatives
until the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment was passed for the reason that
it would handicap his securing ap-
preparations for his state. We are
told he informed the ladies of the
congressional union who called upon
him at his hotel in Phoenix that he
was not satisfied with having Sc
cured the federal building at Douglas
and the federal building at Globe as
well as numerous other federal ap
preparations in which he included the
bridge at Yuma across the Colorado,
but desired to secure for the state
additional improvements.
1t would be great waste of time
to attempt saying anything in sup
port of this contention put forth by
Mr. Hayden. We are inclined to say
that he indeed held his women audi
tors in small regard when he asked
them to believe for one minute that
filibuster in congress would in one
iota affect Arizona appropriations.
Mr.. Hayden must know and if he
does not know he can easily ascer-
tain from some one of his colleagues
more familiar with congressional
ways that appropriation bills are sell
dom if ever held up by filibuster and
even is such were the case he shows
a total ignorance of what is being
wit: That there be no legislation ma
tional on the subject of trusts or on
the tariff or relating more directly
to any one Of the great industries Of
our country such as mining or agri-
culture, until such time as women
have been given the national ballot
and thus afforded an opportunity to
put women in the national halls of
legislation so. that they may express
their views effectually on such sub
jects. Mr.. Hayden some day will
know and we would think that the
campaign of last year would have
been an indication to him that the
congressional union is not an organ
ization to be treated lightly. He
should familiarize himself with what
they are asking congressman to do.
But while we are hopeful that Mr.
Hayden will acquaint himself with
the demands of great number OF
his women constituents in Arizona
that is not of the greatest concern
to us. We are greatly alarmed over
the statement Mr.. Hayden has given
the public that he is responsible fol
the federal Improvements at Globe
and Douglas. We have no desire te
refer to the dead, but we cannot help
in memory of the late Ralph Gamer
on to challenge this statement of Mr.
Hayden. We have no complaint to
make and we feel quite sure that a
large majority of our readers are sat-
isfied with the efforts of Mr.. Hayden
at washington. We hope he will not
fall into error so many Washington
ians are inclined to commit of claim
ing to have had finger in the pie
of the doings at washington which
work a bentfit to the nation and tt
