from the pollticlanS Nno are | kicking up such a great dust regarding | my movements. Ii some Of them had left the state and remained away. their absence would have been beneficial and some of the conditions l am now fighting against would not have been created When reelected next Tues day, November ? it is my purpose to plan another trip.
 High Tariff on Egyptian Staple Cotton
 It is not necessary for me to tell the cotton raisers of the Salt River and Yuma valleys of how necessary and vital, to not alone their prosperity, but to their very existence, is protective tariff on this, their major product and industry. They know and l know that they cannot successfully compete with
 cotton of a like grade produced by
 cheap labor. Today they are facing a crisis in their material affairs, with bankruptcy staring them in the face. The price offered lacks much of coy- ering the cost of production. Their only hope of relief and financial sal
 vation is action by congress. "A Demo- l cratic tariff for revenue only will be i of no help or assistance. They now i have such tariff, If this contem- l plated journey and the expense it will 1 involve do not meet with the approval | of the cotton growers of these two valleys they can so express them
 selves by voting for my opponent And
 even then my 'wanderings" will not f be ended. Later on 1 am going back to Washington. and 1 expect to have the company of practically all the | western governors on the trip, to se- cure through the national government | the financing of the Colorado river | basin project and all the projects em-
 braced therein, including Parker and

 the groundwork will have been laid
 by Ralph Cameron, whom 1 confidently
 believe will be occupying seat in the
 United States senate and devoting his
 untiring efforts to this and other mat
 ters of equal importance to the devel-
 opment of Arizona. All these projects,
 after exhaustive examinations by en-
 gineers of unauestioned ability. have
 been pronounced feasible. In this state
 alone the Colorado river basin project
 means 100000 acres of land under irrigation. What a vista of possibiFi-
