The Coconino sun., 1926-10-29

Because Senator Cameron is a republican for
revenue only.
Because Cameron is only republican in so far
as he can make personal use of the party for his
own selfish interests.
Because he has only made use of the voters Of
the state of Arizona to further his own ends
among the millionares of the Wall street crowd
and in New York and Philadelphia
Because he has taken all the pioneers OF the
state have had to give for nothing and has claim
ed their sweat hardships and toll as all his own
His ridiculous speech in the senate IN which ne
claimed all the credit for having pioneered" Ari-
zona-especally the northern part of it, is a cold
blooded assumption that had it not been for him
we would still be a wilderness. He so loved the
old pioneer that he was not only willing to accept
/. his work, but demanded that he be given credit
for the work the pioneer did.
Because we do not believe Cameron should be
given power of attorney to sell the Colorado river
either to the millionaire Stetsons or to the finan
cia interests of California, who are demnding the
Boulder Canyon dam be built for them with gov
ernment funds.
Because Cameron's fight against the bureau
cratic gvernment," is only personal grudge ht
owes them because he can not control them anC
secure personal privileges II by chance StOckmeI
or others gain any advantage, Cameron does not
object. They may have that as a by-product.
Because Senator Cameron never took the trou
BILE to advise his friends away out west here wha
became of the $4,000 the Santa Fe railroad com
ering the Bright Angel trail Did he pay off the
. laborers and pioneers who made his financial wiz
ardry possible?
Because we do not believe there is an office nc
matter how high in the gift of the people which
would warrant digging into the graveyard of the
honored dead of the state that he might gain &
few votes; he knows they cannot answer.
Because of his base ingratitude to the part!
and the men and women of Arizona who made his
spectacular career possible
ReeauSe we believe hp has nrorniSpd the STATE
of Arizona and everything therein, to everybody
and to every cause. for votes to perpetuate hin
in office.
Because Senator Cameron has convinced those
who know him best that all in the world he
needs to make himself successful is your money
and your votes. Otherwise he will try to gel
along as poor boy who never had chance.
If perchance you might think you had to VOTE
for Ralph Cameron on account of your politics
religion or creed we wish to cite you to his denia
of any of those attributes.
In one of his famous speeches in the u. S. sen
ate on Monday, September 18th 1922, this grea
political wizard who claims to be all things to al
men, tells the white-ivered felers in the senate
this 81 was elected by friends and adherents
of both great political parties; the organization O
my party in my state did not look with favor
on my attempted return to congress; and there
fore | owe no allegiance to any organization nj
matter of what faith or creed"
The republican party of Arizona WAS behin(
Ralph Cameron with all the support they coul(
give in money and men, but with his sublime ego
tism, he pulls the Judas stunt and claims all the
glory.
Now, dear reader, do not get the idea that We
are against Ralph Cameron for any financial rea
sons, or because we wanted anything on earth he
could give
Bunk political promises had lost their flavor
long years before we met Mr.. Cameron, or came]
to Arizona. However, we fully realize that in the
political game it is much better to borrow money
than to lend it. If they owe you they hate you
but if you owe them they have hopes of getting
it back
Because all we have in the world is located il
Arizona and we want Arizona to come to the
'front.'
Because we do not want the great natural ad
vantages of Arizona exploited back east through
a misrepresentation who believes he has the pref
erence right to dispose of state to Wall street
and eastern interests as he sees fit
Senator Cameron may insist that Arizona il
the Baby State" and, taking candy from baby
is mighty easy.
If it is possible for Mr.. Cameron and Mr.. Var
Dyke to sell the state of Arizona to their financia
friends back east at the November End election
the voters should demand their share of the pro
ceeds.
Because from all over the state of Arizona
comes the propaganda that few men are in i
combination to tell the Ignorant voter just how
to vote to sperpetuate "our fellows in office"
Because we have known Ralph Cameron fol
the past twenty-eght years.
