 The enthusiastic endorsement of the ''incesSant ac tvities of Senator Ralph H. Cameron in behalf of the state of Arizona which given the dinner i'll hsl honor the Adams hotel May Q aroused the curiosity of a democrat who is a subscriber Congressional Rec ord He therefore determined carefully search thru the files that official publication find what these ''incessan activities actually After thorough examination he amazed to learn that since senator Cameron has been member of the senate not single bill introduced by him has become law.
 Only two of Senator Canlerons bills have passed the senate and neither of them related to Arizona The first is pay SPAS a named (. S. Fries. who ii jured in 1911 while employed decorator in the Cai ol building in Washington The other Is to amend the law relating to the incorporation of religious societies in the District of Columbia by adding the words 'or dircr tors after the word trustee
 While Senator Cameron has been unable .ish anything for Arizona the Record shows mendable activity behalf of other sections of the country bill which has passed the house and which he reported from the committee military affairs. granting land to the state of Washington for biological Staon became law The is also true of another house bill prOonging the study of cadets at the West Point Military academy
 The senate has passed bills reported by Mr Gamer from the committee on military affairs to remove the charge of deserOn against Richard Parke. of New York and 10 commission J. P. D Shielded. also of New York; major in the army and bill to acquire certain lands for military purposes of the land being Arizona But apparently his greatest claim fame be based his having favorably reported two bills introduced by other senator's of which authorizes the constIc ton of hotel at Fort Monroe va and the other to don, the gates the head of Executive in the city of Washington to the Hayes Memorial museum at Fremont OhiO
 The senate has adopted two amendments to appro- priaton bills offered by Senator Cameron. One to increase the number of rstcass fremen ill the District of Columbia from twelve to twenty-five. His second amendment to strike $9OOOO for road building and other maintenance i'll the Grand Canyon National park The only speech delivered in the senate by the up the present time. made in opposition to this appropriation III which he positively asserted that with hs consent, would single dollar be appro- prated for the improvement of this park He succeeded blocking this appropriation for tme but ultimately bV he appropriated for at the Grand Canyon The net suit of ths part of his .'incessant activity pre- vent the expenditure of of money from the federal treasury within the borders of his state
 This is complete record of the ncessant activi- tes of Senator Cameron covering the period between March f. 1921, and May g. 1922 which be verified by examination of the Congressional Record. In the year and two months of his senatorial service he has passed bill beneficial to Arizona Yet before his elec ton he promised that within year he would secure appropriation for the San Carlos dam that he would obtain money for government buildings in Wckenburg and various other towns, construct power plants the Colorado and made numerous other pledges which remain unfufled.
 The Record does show that he has been digent in handing out republican patronage in Arizona The con-
 maton by the senate of pOsmasers and other federal appointees appear the Record from time to time. The of most of these same names prominently
 enone din the newspapers as among those present at the Adams hotel banquet where his ncessant activities and efforts in behalf of the state of Arizona, highly commended.
 The Congressional Record also shows that Senator Cameron is frequently absent from roll calls but when present his vote is always found trailing along after the Old Guard" Every stand pat" measure mat ter how reactionary be- has received his support The repudaton of his pledge to vote for the soldiers ad justed compensation bill is duly recorded. The same is true of his to seat Senator Newbey, despite the proven charges of the corrupt of money the Mich gan election was indeed fitting that Newberry should be of the first to telegraph his congratulations when Cameron's indictment for perjury was dismissed
