Arizona republican., 1920-10-31

TUCSON, Oct. 30.-" Forward Ari- zona' is rapidly becoming the watch word of the great majority of the citi- zens of the state. as well as the slogan which I adopted to express my desire to serve the people of the state," said Ralph H. Cameron, republican nominee for United States senator who is here today.
 T have now covered practically the entire state and [ find that the men and women of the state realize that the one great thing ahead of Arizona is her upbuilding and development. They realize that this must come through increase in her farming area, in her population and in her produc- tion They have gotten entirely away from the purely political idea Of elect ing members of the senate and of con-
 gress. and they understand that sen
 ator ought to stand in the relation of
 man hired to do things for the state
 i T have made my appeal to them on that basis. I have called their attention to the fact that the San Carlos dam would mean millions of
 dollars to Arizona, that the Charleston dam and the Parker and Little Colo
 rado projects would do likewise, that
 the exploitation of our wonderful na- l tural power resources in the north
 would be a big dividend paying asset,
 and that there must be a general ex- pansion of the reclaimed areas of land in Arizona.
 Would Protect Cotton
 T have shown them that the cotton i grower is not interested in the label that is tackled onto senators political
 affiliation but whether he fayors a
 protective tariff as will keep out cheap Egyptian cotton and give him a stable
 -of at srsf,, f-sr
 product.
 These are business propositions
 The senatorship is a business job That is as true now as 1t was in 1908 At that time my opponent for
 years had proceeded on the theory that statehood was something to talk about but it didn't get statehood. My theory
 was that statehood was something tc work for, and was trusted with the work by the people of Arizona, ant we did get statehood.
 A Business Proposition The same thing is true this year Getting the San Carlos dam and thes, other projects is a business matter to be put in a. business way by a busi. ness man to the board of directors o. the United States which is the con, gress.
 T am telling the people of thil state that I wno't go 10 Washington and make beautiful speeches about th' | League of Nations and international ism, but I will work as hard as I cal in committee and on the floor to pu s reclamation over for Arizona I hav A the promise of our next president E Senator Harding, that he favors thi E program and I promise the people 0 this state now. as I have been promis ing in my tour. that 1 will get the Sal E Carlos dam and d general reclamation policy of federal aid for this state. There is no doubt of the result. Cameron continued. The people ar awake to the fact that there has no E been a spadeful of earth turned in thi E state for nine years on any projec They realize ti is due to the kind ( senatorial representation they hay had and they understand that work H CTS and not orators are needed. Senator Harding's pledge to Ari \ Zona is one that should appeal {
 every Arizonan. This state should fe. \ that it is it's duty to do everything i \ it's power to enable him, as our ne1 k president, to give this country af- ae
