 moment" as l surmised he was the private secertary of Secretary Baker.
 q will see what can do for you," he replied and he went back into the private office.
 In few minutes he came out and said: Secretary Baker will see you, MT. Cameron" So l went in and l took Senator Ashurst with me.
 Only a Little Nerve Needed.
 "How do you do it, Ralph?" quer- jed Henry as we went through the door.
 And so we saw Secretary Baker.
 Will Harness Colorado Power.
 If l am elected to go to Washing ton will get two dams built across the Colorado river in Grand Canyon, one 72 miles north of Kingman, the other 73 miles north of Williams. will not only get them built, but com pleted within two and half years, developing 96O,000 kilowatts of cleo tric power from the waters that have been going to waste since the begin ming of the world.
 This power will be transmitted to the mines, enabling them to econom- ize in operation, causing the develop ment of scores of other mines; it will be utilized by the railroads in electri- flying their lines. President Ripley of the Santa Fe told me in his own home some months ago: Cameron, we know You have worked out the big gest problem ever worked out for the southwest. We know we have got to electrify. The high cost and scarcity of oil is already forcing us to change back to coal. Coal is too expensive. We have got to electrify to maintain the high grade of service we have got to keep up."
 This power will be utilized in pumping water from beneath the sur face of 3,5O0,O0 acres of land in the southern part of the state that can not be reclaimed by the building of dams.
 This power will be used for the mining of gold in Mohaxe county and by its use more gold wiM be produced in one year from the low grade de- posits in that county that is now be- ing produced in year in the entire United States.
 Will Build Lees Ferry Bridge. | If l am elected l promise to have bridge over the river at Lees Ferry within two and half years. It will divert this way hundreds of thousands of tourists that do not come here now, besides opening up to settlement hun dreds of thousands of acres of coun- try now undeveloped.
 | If l am elected I will have 15O,OOO acres of land in the Colorado Indian reservation opened up for settlement by ex-service men and women. The federal government owes Ari- zona more than it does any other state in the Union, because it has with drawn one-third of our area for In- dian reservations, forest reserves, na- tional parks and national monuments. Add 500,00O to Population. Our population has increased 133,- 900 in ten years. By the hydro-elec- trical development of mines and irri- gation of land we can have within two years greater influx of people than any other state in the Union. We have the resources to make the great Sot ssoeC HI titC ShIOh. ouIsIue CdUi- tai and people want to come in. Ari- zoua has more to offer than any other state in the Union. The projects that l have in mind and that l promise will have brought to completion will add 50O,000 population to our state within the next two and a half years.
 Send Back an Optimist.
 l do want to repeat, however, that great things can be done in Washing ton for the next four years. It is conceded that the next president will be republican and Senator Harding is as good as elected today and noth- ing can stop the landslide scheduled for November second
 What then is the reasonable and businesslike thing for the people of Arizona to do this year when it comes to selecting senator?
 Is it good policy or good business to send there a man who admits at the outset that your case is hopeless? Or is it best to send a man who believes in your cause and his cause and in his ability to deliver?
 I am not taking things for grant ed. I have been to Marion. have discussed our wonderful reclamation possibilities with Senator Harding and he has not only rendered me his whole-hearted support but promised me that every pound of influence the administration yields will be placed behind my program if l am elected.
 1908 All Over Again.
 What better assurance or promise could I bring you? You tried me out in 1908 and I was not found wanting. I demonstrated exclusively my abil- ity to deliver. They told you then that I could never make good, but l fooled them. They are saying the same thing to you now and are be- coming very abusive because l am promising to get you some results in Washington.
 History is repeating itself. We are having 1908 all over again. You had been seeking statehood for years without avail and you decided to make change. You elected to make a change. You elected to take chance on me and I did not fail you for you H
