ARMED GUARDS WILL DEFEND US. NAH
SENATOR CAMERON
WILL SPEAK HERE.
TONIGHT At $50.

At $3.50 o'clock tonight in the Ma
jestice theatre citizens Of Douglas Will
have an opportunity to hear speak a
man with a record Of achievement
eclipsed by no statesman in the history
of The United States-Senator Ralph Fl.
Cameron, "Arizona's go-getter.''
When Senator Cameron takes the
platform at tonight's meeting, Doug
las citizens will be afforded an oppor-
tunity to meet face 10 face a man who
has become nationally known and has
become an active leader in the senior
house in Washington through his in
itiative, inborn ability, dogged deter
mination and never falling Willingness
to fight untiringly for the rights of
his electors.
When other Legislators have said
Impossible" Cameron's answer has
lawys been Il will" or I'll, try" His
promises, once thought by some to be
idle boasts of an office seeker, are now
universally respected, and in some
quarters feared. When he promised
relief for the Yuma farmers, he was
scoffed at, derided and ridiculed. The
residents of the district dubbed him
promising Ralph" and burned him in
effigy. When he re-entered the dis
trict few days ago with an astund-
ing record to his credit of promises
made good, the same representative
citizens closed their shops and left their
homes to greet him as a popular hero.
In nearly every other district of the
state the same condition prevails.
Where Cameron through his seemingly
impossible promises, was once regard
ed with amused disdain or open en-
nifty, he is now recognized as the most
consistently successful statesman ever
to represent Arizona since statehood.
The San Carlos DAM the Yuma
pumping plant, the million dollar vet
erans hospital in Tucson, the saving
of more than million dollars in graz
ing fees and scores of other measures,
representing in all more than S12,OOQ,-
600 in federal appropriations, were all
secured for Arizona by Cameron in the
face of bitter opposition.
Cameron knows the need OF the
state, is ever willing to fight for Ari-
zona's rights, and has attained posi-
tion of sufficient prestige in the SEN
ate to be able to put his measures
across When he returns to the senate
in the fall his seniority will make him
one of the most powerful figures in
congress.
cameron and his party will make
hurried trip to the city this evening

800 STATE, CITY
.OFF|CERS SEARCH.
FOR MAIL ROBBERS.

SONlERVILLE, N. j., Oct. 15,-(N9)T
A force of 500 state and city police and
citizenry tonight closed in on 30
mile circle which has been thrown
about the foothills of the Watching
mountains in the hunt for the eight
mail bandits who killed one man, in
jured three others and escaped with
500, 900 at Elizabeth yesterday.
1t is the belief of MAJOR Mark 0.
Kimberling, in charge Of the force, that
the robbers have found refuge in aban-
doned quarries or the huge rock crew
ices between Liberty Corner and CHM
ney Rock at the extreme southern end
of the area. An advance of five miles
was made during the day and tonight
picked squad armed with riot guns
an{ gas bombs moved on Chimney
Rock, the rest of the Gordon halting.
The bandits thus far have not aban-
doned their two automobiles. and au-
thorities expect they may make a dash
for liberty in them.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head
of the state police, after telephone
conversation with Governor Moore,
made the rounds of the various posts.
after making sure of your man,
shoe! him down without warning"
was the command to every trooper.
The section in which the bandits are
believed to be hemmed in is heavily
wooded
There is no gasoline station, no
inn or restaurant and only few
scattered farm houses in the region.
1t is believed the gang may sooi.
have to make a sortie from their
hiding place for food.
Colonel Schwarzkopf said he would
hold in allegiance his decision on the
offer of Governor Moore to mobilize
the state militia in the hunt. Rifles
and riot guns supplement revolvers
and pistols in the hands Of the
seadrchers. Several ta&ks of tear
gas and grenades have been received
from Philadelphia police, and pa
trolls on highways have bombs in re-
serve.
Fifteen expert riflemen went to
the top of Mount Horeb to search
deserted shacks which dot the noun
tain side. Another picked group re-
connoitered a section of the noun
tain where smoke, apparently from
camp fire was seen. The searc-Hs
were fruitless Within surrounded

(AP) - Armed guards ade-
quately equipped to defend
the mails from the depre-
dations Of gangs Of armed
bandits were decided upon
today by President Coolidge
and his cabinet as a result
Of the Elizabeth, N. j., mail
robbery.
"If it takes the army and
navy to do it, the United
States mails must be pro-
,tected and the lives of the
postal employees safeguard
ed," declared Postmaster
General New in a statement
after the meeting.
/ The postmaster general suggested
that concerns having large payrolls
should pay by check instead of in cur
rency and thus obviate the necessity
Of banks making such tempting ship
ments of money through 'he mails. and
said Legislation to make II capital
offense to attack the United States
mails with arms would be recommends
ed to- congress by the postmaster gem
eral.
ANY man who does it has murderous
intent and the world is good deal
better off without him. New said.
There is not another country on the
globe-despite talks about lawlessness,
thievery an dbanditry directed toward
certain of these countries-whefe such
things are more prevalent today than
in our own. IF it cannot be suppressed
by one means, it should be by another.
Wholesale hangings might go further
than anything else. 1t would curb
their enthusiasm, anyway.

postoffice department would have adj
.ditional money demands to make upon
the budget for procurement of more
armored mail trucks and for armed
guards and their eduipment
New addressed a letter to President
John w O'Leary of the chamber of
commerce of the United States, asking
that an appeal be broadcasted to the
large industries of the country to re-
frain from sending huge shipments of
currency through the mails for payroll
purposes and pay by check.
New also called attention to the GUS
tom of certain banks; particularly the
manufacturing plants, asserting it fur
nished the chief incentive for the arm
ed attacks.
1T does not even require smart
thief to learn that it is the custom of
such plants to- receive money ship
ments from it's city bank, not only on
certain day, but often by a paEticu-
lar train" the postmaster general said.
"If concerns requiring these large
sums for payroll purposes liwould pay
by check instead of currency it would,
to a considerable extent, at least, obvi-
ate the necessity for these tempting
shipments"
