AR|z. WOMEN TAKE ACTION AGAINST CAMERON PAID
 WORKERS

Phoenix, Oct. 22-The women of Phoenix have been shocked into pub- nc action by reports from all over the state that adherents of Raiph Cameron, Republican candidate for United States Senator are using un- derhanded methods to gain the votes of the feminine contingent. NHner- ous reports have been received from authentic sources to the etfect t6at women are, being paid large sums of money to make a house to house can- yass and interview Democratic women. mpart to them false information re- garding Mark Smith, Democratic no mtnee for the senatorship and try to persuade them to cast their votes for Cameron.
 The first reports of this method were thought to be untrue by local women. because they appeared to be so bold and interruptions as to be un- worthy even of the Cameron party. But more and more reports came in from every part of the state and from sources whose verity could not be doubted. Then the local women woke up. At a recent meeting, the women Of the Cox-Roosevelt club, one of the largest and most powerful women's political organizations in the state, branded the actions of the Cameron people publicly as ''un-American and subsersive of the principles of good government" The resolution passed by the body is as follows:
 WHEREAS, this club stands un- qualifiedly and unservedly pledged as favoring the League of Nations and the entry of America therein by the prompt ratification of the Peace Trea- ty, and
 WHEREAS, in conformity with that pledge, we are supporting the candidacy of Senator Marcus A. Smith, for reelection. because he is commit ted to that policy and has constantly voted therefor, and the Republican party and Ralph Cameron, the Repu- blican candidate. for the United States senate, are committed and stand for rejection of the League of Nations.
 WHEREAS, it has been persistent ly reported to members of this club and there are grounds for believing, that to promote the campaign of Ralph Cameron for United States Senator. the service of Democratic women to make house to house can vases urging the women voters to vote for Cameron, are being secured by the payment of large per diem to such Democratic women, and:
 WHEREAS, we believe such.- thods of campaigning to be an s'un- American and subversive of the prin- ciples of good government" and in purpose and effect to be nothing more nor less than an attempt to buy an election;
 NOW, THEREFORE, BE TT RE- SOLVED, that this club places itself on record as condemning this method of campaigning if the same is being employed, and we do condemn in un- measured terms those women, if any there be, who hold the duties and privileges of citizenship so low that they place their services in cam. paign for sale in this manner, and express our belief and hope that the number of such women in this com munity is small
 'sAND BE IT FURTHER RESOLv- ED, that every member of this club shall So far as in her power, make in- vestigations and inquire regarding these rumors and report to this club the names of any women whose poll tical services are So being bought, if any be found to the end that such names be made public and the women engaging in such practice may be held up to the scorn they deserve"
