Bisbee daily review., 1922-10-15


 Massachusetts, last night reviewed the 'treachery and failure" of the na- tional Republican administration, con demned the "reactionary standpatt- CTS" and urged a crowd of 500 persons in the City Park to rally solidly be- hind the Democratic party and its principles on November 2. Several candidates for state offices were in troduced and spoke briefly.
 Probably no other speakers in the district have ever held the interest of an audience as did Senators Walsh and Ashurst last night. Senator Walsh was late in reaching Risbee and, when he mounted the platform, a stiff cold breeze was sweeping the park. Some in the audience seemed anxious to find warmer quarters, but after the Massachusetts senator had spoken a few words, everybody settled down, became interested in the visitors and, for almost another hour, braved the cold to applaud and cheer the New England orator.

Each attacked the administration from a different angle and each launched such an effective verbal bar rage that Republicanism was. to the audience, thing tattered and torn to shreds when the speakers resumed their seats.
 Senator Ashurst centered his ad- dress on the failure of the Republican administration to fulfill his pre-elec- i tion promises, it's shifting of the tax burden from the shoulders of the wealthy and it's treatment of former soldiers. The senior senator from Arizona appeared in fine speaking trim and, from his acknowledgement of Chairman Cox introduction to his ! final denunciation of the G. O. p, held the interest and sympathy of his audience.
 Senator Ashurst told of his fight for appropriations to provide proper spitalization for ex-service men, and of the excellent results that eventually rewarded his efforts. Here called the time when he studied, the life of George Washington in little Arizona school, with Henry D. Ross, now chief justice of the supreme court of Arizona as his teacher. Justice Ross was one of the state candidates on the plat. form with the senator during the meet ing. Senator Ashurst urged his hear CTS to give him credit for two things as senator: industry and the willing ness to work at all times for the peo- pie. Just grant me those two vir- tues,' he said, And you may give my opponent all the resi-
 Cameron, "Promising Gentleman"
 Referring, later in his address, to Senator Ralph Cameron, Republican, Senator Ashurst provoked storm of applause when he said: "I'll say this for my colleagues: he certainly is a promising gentleman"
 Senator Ashurst outlined the laws he had supported, enumerating among many others, farm and stockraising loans, bureau of markets, income and inheritance taxes. the excess profits tax, truth in fabrics bill. anti-child labor, regulation of packers and the Clayton antitrust law. He assailed the recent. injunction issued against striking railway employees in Chicago and denounced the Esch-Cummins act as san example of Wall Street Social ism He would have left the senate, he said. before voting for the act. 1 Turning again to the bonus bill. and pointing to huge payments made to the railroads and war materials con tractors, the senator cried: Those who exploited the country received a bonus; those who saved it did not" l Senator Ashurst told of the organiza- ton of the agricultural block in con gress and the part he had taken in it. 1 The bloc. he declared, had been able ! to drive through a reactionary Repub- : lican congress the only good laws that were passed.
