Arizona republican., 1922-05-10
tor from Arizona.

IOe meeting was QeScflDeQ Dy
party chieftains as the biggest and
most successful in the history of
Republicanism in this state. In fact,
the turnout so far surpassed expec-
tations that an overflow crowd was
cared for in the Hotel Adams lunch
room while still others, among them
the Pima county delegation, were
obliged to seek other eating places in
the city.
No Discordant Note
It was a meeting in which party
harmony was the predominant factor
Not discordant note was sounded
throughout the evening, and it was
ment was taken.
Although a gathering OF Repub-
licans, with Republicanism the key
note of each address, last nights
meeting in this city was more than
political gathering. There was more
warmth, more good fellowship, more
Of the friendly spirit and less or the
political than is customary when
leaders of a great political organiza-
ton gather around council table.
1t took the form of personal tributes,
as from individual TO individual, not
only to Senator Cameron, but to
President Harding and Gov. Thomas
e. Campbell.
From the time that Edward j.
Flanagan, a member of the state su-
preme court, addressed the gather
ing as POSTMASTER, until the en-
semble unanimously voted resolu-
tions approving and endorsing the
national and state administrations
and commencing and endorsing the
incessant activities and efforts of
Senator Cameron in behalf of Arl-
zona and the people of the state, the
gathering was as one big family
happy and contented, glad to once
again be gathered about the feast
table. The parents were represented
in the veteran councilmen, Of which
there We're liberal sprinklings in the
crowd; the younger and more active
Republicans were the children.
Senator Cameron Speaks
Senator Cameron was the final
speaker of the evening. His talk was
short, but it was fired with an enthu-
siasm that brought cheer after cheer
from his hearers. Frequently he was
obliged to halt until the cheering
and shouting died down.
"Arizona will get more during the
next two years through congressional
aid than she has in the past % years
put together" Senator Cameron said.
"Arizona is entitled to that and she
win get it as sure as / stand before
you because President Harding Will
lend us his support"
Senator Cameron described Prest-
dent Harding as the greatest CHIEF
executive since Abraham Lincoln"
And when his first term of four
years is finished, you will find that
more has been accomplished under
his leadership than under the leader
ship OF any other president, the SEN
ator asserted.
I'VE never have had a president
who has taken so much interest IN
the development of the Western and
Southwestern country as President
Harding" Senator Cameron con-
tinued. He referred to the McNary
reclamation bill as an example or
what the present administration IS
planning for the development OF the
arid states.
whats more, we're going to build
the San Carlos dam, just as said We
would. I'll have the money before the
end of the present term of congress,
the senator shouted, explaining that
the San Carlos project already mas
the euQUfSeultlll VI Tic duAAAAAAANs-~
ton.
II have been criticized because |
did not go to washington and do all
the things 1 had promised to do with
in a period of 80 days. You forget
that we were meeting in extraordi-
nary session and that we We're
charged with the task of cleaning up
the war wreck left us by the Demo-
cratic administration.
II will do all of the things / have
agreed to do and more. | am Tor
whatever the Republican party OF
Arizona is for and / am for making
the Republican party in this state the
greatest political machine IN any
state of the nation and thereby build
Arizona into one of the greatest
states of the union.

for every one of you,' Senator Cam
eron pleaded in conclusion.
