INTERESTING NOTES FROM
 DEMOCRATIC SPEECHES
Continued from page One)

thought know that It IS the eX-gOVer-
 nors democracy and his sympathy fo1
 the fellow who is down, that has caused the vicious attacks upon him and has melted the rabid part of the republican press to call him wobbly | The cry of that press is, keep the
 underdog down. If you see, him
 start to rise. give him a kick and
 knock him farther down..
 Any man who tries to help the fel-
 low that is down must be wobbly.
 That is the only basis they have
 for charging Ex-Governor Hunt with
 being a wobbly. He insists that the , fellow who is down is our brother and
 should have our sympathy and our
 help. It is autocracy versus de-
 mocracy, that is all. The democrat
 must be a wobbly because he objects to turning the government over to
 the fellows who happen to be at
 the top, and insists that the people
 the masses-should rule.-
 The Ex-Governor made reference
 to the loss of $5OO,OOO of state funds
 deposited with the Central Bank of
 Phoenix. The republican admins tration would like to dodge the blame for placing the funds with that bank but they cannot. The placing of the funds rested with three officials, two of them republicans.
 The governor offered an amusing diversion in picturing his first visit to Siam when he was sent there to help get thru a treaty which was needed with that country He had hoped to get away from everything red when he set sail for that distant realm, he stated, as all the accusa- tions hurled at him were getting bit irritating, but it was no use. Red Is the royal color of Siam. In the first visit to the Siamese court he had red uniformed drivers in front of him, red footmen at each side and red cushion to ride on and when he got to court he found everything i there decorated in red.
 The supercritical might pick flaws in MT. Hunts grammar and his ! rhetoric, but there are no flaws to be | tOunQ III ms TeCOIo 1OI honesty and sincerity.
 Congressman Hayden gave one ot his usual dynamic addresses, keeping the audience keyed to a high tension If interest turnout his discourse The chief topic of interest in his dis .ussion was the proposed development of the Colorado River. He gave much useful information on this topic and justified the careful way in which he Federal Power Commission is go- ng about this work. Arizona's i'm crest in the project is three fold, as Hayden explained; First from the of flood control; Second IS a means of irrigating arid lands; md third as means of developing heap electrical energy.
 The proposition as presented by T he congressman, is briefly, fol- ( ows:
 The development of the Colorado { made imperative as means of S floods. This must be ] accomplished before many more ( ears in order to save the Imperial C alley and other irrigation projects I f the lower Colorado. The Gulf of | aIifornia used to extend some ope IT undred and fifty miles farther into F 1e interior than at present, its coast ii ne being far up in what is now Ari- t ona and California. The Colorado f iver carries an enormous amount of & it and this silt has gradually filled up D le Gulf until it has been pushed back r , its present shore. The river has I, so built a dam which holds back n le sea and has built it's own bed ur q nti1 it is much higher than Imperial il alley and 25O feet above the Salten fl ga. The Colorado broke into the n alten Sea only a few years ago and it nless the floods of this river are ,ntrolled soon, will be bound to b -eak away some day and place the d hole of the Imperial Valley under c ater destroying many millions of D. edith. !, Arizona is interested in the Colo ly do from an irrigation standpoint tI here are hundreds of thousands of 1v ,res of fertile land within Arizona hich can be irrigated from the Colo n,
