 CASA GRANDE, Oct. 2S.-San Car los night was celebrated here last night with Ralph H. Cameron, candi- date for the United States senate, the principal figure n the rally. A rousing musical program was furnished by the Sacaton Indian band and monster meeting was held in the Oasis theater, where standing space was at pre- mium. MT. Cameron was heralded here as the one man needed in a crisis. Casa Grande is looking forward to the San Carlos dam. All it's hopes and future prosperity rest upon a realiZa- tion of the great reclamation project, which the candidate has promised to obtain for the Florenee-C Casa Grande valley. Senator Mark Smith has visited Casa Grande twice during the present campaign and on both occa- sions disappointed his audiences by gloomily asserting it would take many more years of patient waiting before any action could be taken on the reclamation plans for the valley.
 Cheers lasting several minutes | greeted Mir. Cameron when, during the course of the meeting here he reiter- ated his pledge that if elected he would obtain an appropriation for the San Carlos dam within one year from the time he takes his seat in the senate. He brought comforting assurance to l his audience by telling them of a re-
 cent visit to Marion. Ohio, where 1 Senator Warren c. Harding said to
 him: Take back the message to Ari- zona that if I am elected I will exert | influence to insure the carrying out of the important projects which you have described to me" Mir. Cameron brief
 ly traced the history of the San Carlos project, pointing out it was the first
 to be recommended by the government survey more than 20 years ago. He
 told how other projects had been car
 ried out while the people of Florence
 and Casa Grande waited and won-
 dered, He told how men of energy
 had taken up the fight here and de-
 cided that something must be done im-
 mediately. These men, he said, came
 to him and asked him to take up the
 matter with men who will Do in power
 during the next administration.
 "This I have done" he said. T have
 received every encouragement from
 men who are capable Of handling tho
 project. who know how to go about ob-
 taining the federal appropriation 1e- quired. 1 assure you 1t will not b' : necessary for me to be member of { dozen or more committees to brlns ' about tho realization of this project l tl Il \ his alertness to the subject in han' and his businesslike manner , handling the proposition created favorable impression winch grew int unbounded enthusiasm as the -raeetin' l progressed.
