The Gentleman Who Was Responsible
The gentleman responsible for the delay dis
played an activity and acumen that devoted to bet
ter purpose might have resulted in something more
than the hampering of gigantic and vitality i'm
portant enterprise.
Hayden Of Arizona made the motion that led to
putting the measure over Since the Swing-John-
son bill has become recognized as virtually an adj
mnistration measure, and since Hayden is a Demo
crat with ambitions, he did not want the credit to
go to the administration-(The San Pedro News
May 26, 1926)
Hayden Bitter Opponent
Hayden has been bitter opponent Of the
SWing-J johnson measure, and when he appealed to
the committee to help pigeOn-hole the BILL every
Democratic member Of the committee voted with
him-Hudspeth Of Texas, Lankord OF Georgia,
Reed Of Arkansas, Allgood Of Alabama, Whiting
ton Of Mississippi, and Morrow of New Mexico
(The Santa Ana Register May 26, 1920
Hayden To Blame For Result
When the Swing-Johnson bill was taken up at
the present session of Congress it was expected
decision would be reached before the national law
making body adjourned. The expressed opinion OF
many of those who held the fate of the measure In
their hands favorable that its passage SEEM
ed almost assured.
Congress is nearing the end of it's session and
the Boulder dam project has been definitely post
poned until December. Congressman Hayden, the
Arizona member of the House Irrigation Committee
which voted to delay consideration is being given
the blame for this result-(The Glendale News,
June l, 1926.)f
Republican Administration JOckeyed
Hayden of Arizona has shown himself to be
shrewd manipulation He has made a partisan
issue out of purely economic question. Good
reason exists to believe that the g. .. +. Will lose
and the Democrats gain senator from Arizona
Since the Republicans can i'll afford to spare even
civ cr1o no
administration has permitted itself to be handsome
" iockeyed away from the pole in this race.
The people Of the southwest may as well shuttle
the cards for new deal and find out whether Arl-
zona has pair OF deuces or pair oI aces 70 open
the conversation. The Brawley News, June q
1926)
Courtesy to Mr.. Hayden
The Boulder Canyon Dam is designed, among
other things to end this annual flood menace But
it has not won unqualified approval in the ranks OF
Mr.. HaydenS Arizona supporters whose interests,
Of course, do not lie in CALIFORNIA; Imperial valley
In spirit of courtesy to Mr.. Hayden the
Boulder Canyon Dam project was permitted to sniff
of the ether and go to sleep. The incident
is creditabe neither to Representative Hayden nor
to the House of Representatives. The San Fran
cisco Chronicle, June 5, 1926)
Hayden One OF The Chief Causes
a@ Col, B. Ely, for several years Tecurrent
delegate to Washington in behalf of the develop
ment of the Lower Colorado River, was visitor IN
Ell Centro on Tuesday, when he appeared before
the Board Of Directors Of the Imperial Irrigation
District to report on the progress of the legislation
in Congress.
/, He added, that although he is Democrat, he
is fighting Carl Hayden, Congressman from Ari-
zona in his effort to be elected Senator Col. Fly
declared that Hayden was one of the chief causes
Of the tabing Of the SWING Johnson bill this last
session. Imperial Valley Farmer, July e. 1920
Knock That Is A Boost
Explanation Of some Of the opposition to the
Colorado river project is forthcoming. Rep
resentative Hayden Of Arizona is the aspirant for
senatorship He is Democrat. The Republican
administration has endorsed the Colorado River
plan in full Hayden felt that if the measure car
ried, it would glorify unduly a Republican admin
istration and lessen his own chance of prefement.
