What Arizona Needs Most in Senate Is
Strong, Fearless Fighter, and You Have
Such Man in Senator Cameron, Says Bede

what Arizona needs most in the
United States senate is strong, fear
less fighter, and you have such a man
in Senator Ralph Cameron" was one
of the outstanding statements of the
Honorable Adan4 Bede, former con-
gressman from Minnesota, who spoke
under the auspices of the Cameron
for Senator Club" in the Majestic
theatre Friday night. A fair crowd
was on hand to hear Bede, who min
gled touches of humor with eloquent
appeal in one of the best addresses
ever heard here.
Cameron is the type OF man who
knows what his state needs and is not
afraid to ask for it. One of Cameron's
strongest points is that he holds the
respect, confidence and friendship OF
the strongest men in the senate, in,
cluding the personal friendship of
President Coolidge 1t is through this
quality and his strength and fearless
ness that Cameron has been able to
accomplish so much for this state.
Even the democrats ought to vote
for Cameron because of the issue on
copper alone Every American ought

prosperity and happiness, to the people
of his state, and a tariff on copper IS
absolutely necessary for Arizona if this
state is to continue to enjoy prosperity
and happiness. 1t is not improbable
that Cameron will get lot of demo-
cratic votes, too, because the people
of Arizona are clear minded enough to
vote for the man whose election means
prosperity to the state.
1--WE people in America are living on
( tn ehighest plane of any people on the
globe, and to live under such condi-
tions we have to have good wages.
Good wages depend upon prosperity,
and prosperity depends upon the prices
lobtained for the principal commodities
of the state. Arizona's principal COM
modify is copper, and Ralph Cameron
is striving to insure the prosperity of
Arizona and good wages for her miners
by his fight to obtain tariff on cop
per.
II have known Ralph Cameron for
% years, and I have never known him
to make promise that he did not
keep. If he promises you a tariff on
copper he viii get you a tariff, If he

to get things for his state

CONDEMNEDMAN
FIGHTS GUARDS
DEATH

BUTTE, Mont Oct. 1 (AP)-After
a desperate attack on Officers with
a three-foot length of pipe and a
crudely made knife, Tony Vetters,
condemned to be hanged here today,
was driven into a corner by officers
and subdued with tear gas. He was
hanged at 1928 IL this morning.
When Under Sheriff D. o. Robin
son entered Vettere's sell 20 lead
him out to hear the death warrant
read and manacle him for the eXecu-
ton, Vettere produced a piece OF
pipe from the bed clothing of MS
cot and leaped upon the officer.
Robinson retreated from the cell, mar
rowly escaping the pipe which the
prisoner hurled at him. Vettere
pursued him down the corridor ad-
ding to his weapons a knife made
from a jail spoon which he had
carried concealed in his clothing.
Vettere flourished his pipe and his
knife at officers who were forced at
last to bring into play two tanks of
tear gas. The fumes from these
tanks drove Vettere back into his
cell, shouting and cursing. From
that vantage point he swung his
pipe through the grating at all who
attempted to approach him and 1t
was only after gas had peen sprayed
into his cell for 15 minutes that his
weapons fell from his hands and he

/, being routed over the south line be-
cause of the washed-out bridge at Ben
son. Following train No. 1903, which ar
rived at 4:3O p. M, train No. IL of the
north line, running as second No. 1903,
arrived at $50 p. IN. Train No. S3 from
the east was followed by second No. 3
at 1859, and third No. . at 2:20 a. m.
Four freight trains that have been de-
layed at various points on the line
tpassed through Douglas Friday after
noon and night, carrying only perish
able goods and rush freight.
Officials of the Southern Pacific
company Friday placed the damage to
the railroad from the recent storm at
1915, 900, but stated that the damage
would probably run more before all the
bridges and track are repaired. It. was
estimated that at least month will
be required to restore both the north
and south lines to normal. 1t is be-
lieved that a week may be required to
to reopen traffic on the north line. $
Every precaution was, taken by
Southern Pacific officials before al
lowing passenger trains to proceed
lover the repaired bridge at Fairbank.
When the rails were linked on the re-
constructed bridge and approaches Fri
day afternoon, a freight train loaded
with crushed rock was first sent over
! it to test the bridge. When this heavy
No. 2 was allowed to proceed across the
bridge.
The reopening of the lines represents
only the first stage in the reconstruc-
! tion of the tracks from the damage
caused by the flood. Four huge pile
drivers are being used by the railroad
! in repairing bridges in this section and
all available equipment and men are
being rushed to the Arizona division,
Assistant General Manager A. E. Sweet
and Superintendent L. U. Morris are in
personal charge of the work.
The Nacozari railroad will probably
be unable to run trains from Aqua
Prieta to Nacozari for another week.

in Aqua Prieta from. FL Paso Friday
morning and Immediately left by mo-
tor for tour of inspection over the
line. He declined to make any forecast
as to when the road would be reopened.

 He moulded another form, and laid it in the hot ashes. but when he drew 1t out 1t was blackeMed and crisp. So he tossed it to one side. Then he modelled a new figure, even more carefully than before, packed the red coals around it, and when he lifted 1t from the ire it was red and sound and perfect.

 As in Primeval Period

Philadelphia, May :, CFj-That the serpent has lost nothing Of it's primeyal fascination, is the conyic- ton of Robert Hess, for 27 years keeper Of the reptile house of the Fairmount Park Geological Gar dens.
 Mir. Hess believes that the lure which snakes appear to exercise over women is something deep-root- ed and long inbred.
 "Womcn are fascinated by our snakes" Mir Hess said. They come again and again and stay for hours; some Of them standing per tectly absorbed without moving, just watching the movements of the big reptiles"
 The huge boa constrictors and anacondas seem especially attractive 10 the women visitors to tho zoo, the keeper said He attributes the strange lure of reptiles for women partly 10 the slight element of dan ger and to the stealthiness of their movements.
 Snakes have his endorsement as household pets, but he stipulates that the owner must hanish all fear or hatred for them before attempting to keep one.
