Tombstone epitaph., 1921-10-23

In last Wednesday, Los Angeles Times there was
article Of length relative the investigation at
Phoenix Of the election expenditures of Senator Cameron
during his primary and election campaigns 1t was dated
az Washington. and did facts, the following
excerpts from it will reveal:
Department officials have guarded with secrecy
all the details of the inquiry here. but it is known
that the greatest possible political pressure has been
brought to force Attorney General Daughcrtv to
take personal hand in the matter. This he has re-
fused to do. i'll spite of all the peadings. Camerons
friends here and i'll Arizona say that it bitter par
tisan attack and has reached the Of persecution
However that may be. the fact remains that the pres
ent federal district attorney lin Arizona is Demo
crat and some of the other important officers of the
department Of justice are Democratic by birth and
preference.
The article farther on rctcratcs the alleged deter
minaton OF tL, attorney general to make a
stop the Investigations which, according the Washing
tom dispatch already has been completed and the find
ngs will he laid before the federal Judge III Phoenix with
i'll the three weeks.
The article is misleading i'll statements. 1t is
well known that the attorney general did ask for post
ponement of the inquiry giving the then pend
ing Newberly which is estimated could be used
precedent the Cameron charges. 1t the Opill-
ion of Daughery that. should Newberv be whitewashed
1t would be useless to attempt to probe Camerons ex
penditures, for nothing would of it. There is a
likelihood that he correct i'll that sulniSe. Ii New
berry could be punished for spending hundreds of
thousands. how Cameron be touched for using 4
smaller although it is unprecedented amount for
trizona.
1t also is that. the investigation is backed by
Democrats. Strange it may the who
determined 10 bring Cameron to the federal attorney
charged with carrying the is Democrat has
nothing at all to do with it. The Republican state
ganzaon is Camerons trail, to disinteresed per-
son. the party leaders in the cannot be blamed for
slapping him the cheek with hand of snow.
As the only Republican representative in congress
from Arizona, Cameron has unrestricted say in the max
ing of federal appointments in this state He could have
of respect from the leaders of his party
by needing the of the organizations, but
this he absolutely has refused to do They'll get moth
ing from me is his alleged attitude yet it is very doubt
full if he could have been elected had the Republican
ganzatOn in the state repudated him before election
Tn g. o. p state organization might just well UNI
mask itself and make public the fact that is supporting
the to ''get Cameron 1t is futile to try to shove
the blame if such be called upon the shoulders of
Democracy for the Democrats not particularly con-
cerned in the investigation other than to make that
the violators of the law do not go free.
In their desire to lay bare the expenditures of Cam
eron the leaders of the Republican party in Arizona
ought to have the utmost cooperation of the Democrats
This state should not encourage the spending OF large
Of money by candidates. and generally is conced-
ed that Cameron did spend much any other aspir
ant has used any campaign in the history of the state
if not pore-Prescott Courier.
1t is better be honest from force of circumstances
than not at all.
