NATIVE SONS in
JOINT MEETING
PRESENT ISSUES
Especial 10 tho internationally

Tombstone, Ariz., Aug. IA. -
Two Arizona native sons, Lewis
w. Douglas candidate for the
Democratic nomination for con-
gress, and Arthur T. La Prade
seeking the same party nomina-
tion for attorney general spoke at
meeting here Thursday night
and discussed state and national
issues.
Douglas in no uncertain terms
told the audience what he stood
for and opposed. Referring to the
Colorado River, he expressed him
self in favor of a dam at the head
Of the canyon which would provide
flood protection for the Yuma and
Imperial valley districts, the de-
velopment of power taxable by
this state and the protection of
this state from being barred by
law from construction of dams
farther up, as probably would be
the case at Boulder canyon dam.
Douglas said he was not high
liner and that he could see 920,-
900 acres in Arizona irrigated by
the Colorado. Vital as this was,
he said the greatest taxable wealth
would come through the power
developed and the consequent
new industry.
La Prade pointed to his record
as county attorney of Maricopa
county, particularly the convic-
lions of P. K. Lewis and Bill l..
Lawrence. He expressed the be-
lief that the next attorney general
would have to handle considerable
Colorado river litigation and that
the people should select an attor
ney general who would have the
courage to say "no" as well as to
say eyes.
