HAYDEN HAS EARNED PROMO
TON.

In letters to the Democratic
Precinct Committeeman through
out the State, Carl Hayden has
formally announced his candida.
cy for the United States senate.
Mr.. Hayden became a member
of the House of Representatives
upon the admission of Arizona
into the Union in February 1912,
and at the end of his present
term will have served contin
ously in that capacity for over
fifteen years. By hard, faithful
work be has earned promotion
to the upper house of congress.
That conscientious service
which he has rendered to the
people of his state has been
satisfactory to them is proven
by the large majorities be has
received every two years. He
has been a faithful represent.
alive, ever attentive to the needs
of his constituents, not only in
committees and on the floor of the
house, but before the depart
ments of the government. His
voting record on important bills
is excellent.
Coming from a state within
which the federal government
owns more than half of the total
area, Mr.. Hayden has consistent.
~ fought to compel congress to
recognize its obligation to con.
tribute toward development. He
has helped to secure the appro
priation and expenditure of mil
lions of dollars in Arizona for
irrigation projects, for roads and
bridges and other public impro
vements. His greatest and most
difficult achievement in that re
spect was the passage trough the
house of representatives of the
bill for the construction of the
Coolidge dam as part Of the San
Carlos project.
Mr.. Hayden claims no super
lative virtues but he does his
own thinking and has the power
to express his ideas in clear and
forceful language. He has never
employed press agent to sound
his praises or to assert undue
credit for his accomplishments.
His deeds speak for themselves.
It is generally conceded that
the democratic party will win
control of the United States sen
ate next November. Enough of
the republicans who where swept
into Office by the Landslide of 1920
will be returned to private life at
the end of their present six year
term to accomplish that result.
The election of one who is in &C
cord with the majority in the
next senate will be highly ad.
vantageous to Arizona and Mr..
Hayden's candidacy is therefore
opportune.
He will be no stranger in the
senate. There are now twenty.
three senators with whom Mr..
Hayden served in the house and
q number of his present collea
CUES, who are likewise seeking
the same advancement, are cer-
tain to be elected this fall.
Among the democrats who have
been transferred from the house
TO the senate since Hayden was
first elected to congress are the
following who will be glad to
greet him as a personal friend;
Robinson and Caraway of Ar.
kansas; Heflin of Alabama; Har.
rison and Stephens of Mississip.
pi; Gerry of Rhode Island; Nc
Kellar of Tennessee; Shepherd of
Texas; Glass of Virginia; Dill of
Washington, and Nicely of West
Virginia.
Mr.. Hayden will take with
him to the senate the same in.
dustry which be has always ex
hibited, the same ability to de.
fend the rights of his state, the
same persuasive power to ad
vance her best interests. all i'm.
proved and perfected by wide
knowledge of the way in which
the federal government operates,
gained by close contact with its
various branches. At the age of
40. in the very prime of life. he
offers talents of the highest or
der for use in the service of the
people of Arizona as their Unit
ed States senator Phoenix
Messenger.
