DOUGLAS URGES
GENERAL DRAFT

Bisbee, Ariz., Aug. 81. - The
greatest asset the state Of Ari-
IONA now has is the Colorado riv-
er, said Lewis W. Douglas, candi-
date for congress, in a speech
here this week. Douglas declared
that the Swing-Johnson bill, with
the resultant construction of the
Boulder canyon dam and the pass
ing forever of Arizona's pos
sibilities on the river would like
ly be passed at the next session
of congress and that it was ne
cessary for Arizona to bring Me-
vada and California into confer
ence in order to preserve her
rights.
Douglas told of the passing of
the mines as Arizona's great as
set and of the immediate neces-
sity of developing other resources
to care for the tax burden. The
greatest resource is the develop
ment of the Colorado, with many
resources which would flow with
that development. He pledged
himself to the protection Of Ari-
Nogales international., 1926-08-22

2ona's rights as to taxation Of the
power and as to ALLEGATION Of wa
ter.
Born in Bisbee, Douglas came
before his home people to tell OF
the things he wanted to accom-
plish in congress, and his home
people welcomed him with the
largest crowd ever assembled in
Eisbee at political gathering.
He said that he believed every
question of national Importance
before congress revolved about
the concentration of production,
transportation and distribution in
the hands of few, thus destroy
ing the opportunity that has made
America a land where initiative
and industry would reward q
young man and permit the de-
velopment of the country along
competitive lines. America is be-
ing ruled by commissions rather
than as democratic republic,
said the speaker, and a halt must
be called to this movement.
Douglas made plain his stand
on the principal of the universal
draft. saying that he believed in
the drafting of capital, labor and
resources as well as man power
during war time.

BENTON BOOSTER
OF AMOS BELTS
Especial to I'll. international,

Especial to the IntsrnationaO
Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. I'll One
of the strongest boosters Of Amos
A. Belts for congressman from
Arizona, subject to the action Of
the Democratic primaries on Sep
TENDER z, is John E. Benton,
solicitor general for the National
Association Of Railroad and Utili-
ties Commissioners, and associa-
ton composed Of the commissioners
from every state in the Union.
Mr.. Benton in his position as
chief counsel for the state COM
missioners, and who spends his en-
tire time in Washington for the In
terests Of the states, in whatever
capacity he is called upon to act,
is in position nationally to know
what each state needs from the
national capital.
"Arizona will make no mistake
in sending Amos A. Belts to con-
gress," Mr.. Benton declared re-
Gently in discussing the matter
with Arizona citizens in Washing
ton.
"For the past several years, I
have been in a position to watch
his work in Washington for his
state" Mr.. Benton declared.
ct have worked with him in all
Of his fights to obtain state relief
for the citizens Of his state, and
I am prepared to assert that the
successful results Of these fights
which have saved millions Of dol
lars for the shippers in Arizona,
have been due chiefly to the tire
less and unceasing efforts Of Mr..
Belts.
"He has been undaunted by the
many Universities which have arisen
from time to time, and he has re-
fused, steadfastly, to give up the
fight though the end appeared to
be against us. Each time, he has
taken a fresh grip on the matter
in hand, went at it from q new
angle, and carried the fight
through to success.
"There is no question but that
he will serve his state as congress
man in the same forceful and
courageous manner that he has
served as railroad commissioner.
He seems never to know when he
is licked At the time when most
men would cease to fight and lay
down, then is the time when Mr..
Belts fights hardest, and most sue
cessfully.
"He probably has more friends
in Washington among the con-
gressional representatives Of other
states than does any other single
state commissioner. think Arb
IONA will make q colossal mistake

Give times have the farmers
of this valley approved my can
didacy as a legislator. For nearly
twenty years l have worked with
you and for you. AS Editor Of
the Southwestern Stockman-
Farmer" ! helped to pioneer the
Farm Bureau program in Arr
iona.
Tonight, in the presence of
these hundreds OF farmers I re-
newed my pledge of adhesion to
the Farm Bureau to advance the
interests of those who feed and
clothe the world. 1t was very
largely through efforts Of the
Farm Bureau that western rail-
road rates have not been increased.
When the Gooding Bill is passed,
we will not have to face rate in
crease applications of the rail-
roads. When the Haugen farm
relief bill is passed we viii have
some of the same measure Of pro-
tection--some stability of farm
product values-that the eastern
manufacturer enjoys. If this
pledge constitutes adhesion to a
"bloc" then I say to my opponents
make the most Of it".
Standing on this spot two
years ago, I promised every eff

ton to reserve Colorado river
rights to American lands and the
valuable survey of Arizona ir-

two vastly important measures
in this respect. The record dis
closes that these measures bear
my name.

Shivering Drivers
Wait While Freight
Is Tied Up on Track

Any driver of an open car who
was unfortunate enough to start
across the Gardiner Randolph bridge
shortly before 1890 Wednesday night
was letting himself in for an hour
of unpleasantness. The delay in the
cold binding snow storm was caused
by a tie up of a long freight across
the railroad track at the Gardiner
end of the bridge. A freight engine
hauling 100 cars had taken it's load
about third of the train length
across the track when something let
loose and a coupling gave away
cutting the train into two sections,
the break occurring above the bridge.
While a dozen drivers, mostly in
open Fords shivered on the un-
protected bridge and about 20 more
waited in Depot Square for action
and demanded 1t by use of the horns
of their cars the trainmen started
to remedy the trouble. When the IL
o'clock Pullman appeared in sight
around the bend 1t occurred to them
that this train would have to get by,
so the freight engine backed up to
let the Pullman out Of the yard. The
majority of the car owners were then
almost insensib1e to the fact that re-
lease from their predicament was in
sight for they were numb with cold
even In Closed cars. as they were not
prepared for real cold weather driv-
ing. One victim declared that If the
Pullman had not had to get through
that morning would have found the
bridge and Depot Square blocked
with cars with the drivers asleep at
the wheel. The train crew worked
at the trouble all night, and assist
ance was sent from the Waterville
shop and the train moved in the
morning.
