STATESMEN

United States Senator Henry F. Ashurst aptly de-
fined statesman in his address at Library park. The
senator said statesman need not be great orator.
or a great scholar, but statesman wos a man who
recognized great public service and had the courage
to stand by his conviction for the public good.
Such man Governor Hunt has proven himself
and as Senator Ashurst asserted, Governor Hunt
will go down in the history of Arizona states
man."
Because, Governor Hunt has had the foresight
to stand up for the rights of Arizona. Because he
has had the courage to oppose those that have had
views opposite to his and to show that they not
working for the best interests of Arizona Because,
he will not shift his viewpoint to garner votes Be
cause, he has had the patriotism to continue to
shoulder the people of Arzonas burden in this fight
for the saving of the Colorado river for Arizona Be-
cause of these things, there are those men, who
never will have chance of being statesmen, that go
out through the state crying nnuendos against the
ADMINISTRATION.
It has been often said that the greater the man.
the more enemies he has, We do not believe that to
be true, because Governor Hunt has comparatively
few enemies, but those that he has are notable ones
and they his enemies, because he would not sub
NIT to their will at the peril of the people of this state

DANGLING "PLUMS"

The editorial in the Republican organ Friday
evening under the caption "a Warning To Nogales"
is only continuation of the attempt to fool and
frghten the people in the interest of the Republican
nominee for United States Senator. In every county
in Arizona 'pu" is dangled before the eyes of
the voters in this campaign with the threat that the
much desired advantage will be snatched away
less Mr.. Cameron is reelected next Tuesday.
In Santa Cruz County the bait set for the voters
is Camp Stephen D. Little. Our republican friends
make the assertion that unless Arizona sends Re-
publican to the Senate Nogales will lose the army post
now maintained here. Nothing can be farther from
the truth The fact is that $4,000 has already been
appropriated to repair the damage done at Camp
Little by the flood month ago. It is learned from
very reliable authority that much larger sum in ad
dtion is already set aside to make further repairs and
necessary improvement at this post.
Does anyone seriously believe that the government is
going to spend that amount Of money and then take
the troops away? Such a contention is positively
absurd. It is only another of the many unfounded
claims put forth to hoodwink and caole the voters
into voting for the Republican candidate. There is
not word of truth in it and knows it better
than local Republican leaders.

According ia Senator Ashurst's definition those
are things that will write the name of Governor
Hunt down in the book of history as great states
man, when all the names of those that have fought
and opposed him have been forgotten It is but nat
ura, therefore, that those opposing him should sup
port candidate who has no claim to craftsmanship
because like his supporters he has changed his view
point as to the Colorado river to court favor with the
electorate.
The gentlemanly candidate for governor on the
Republican ticket when he had no aspirations for the
governorship, his political adviso Dwight B.
Heard at that time wished the office for himself said
in the Arizona Magazine of June, 1928:
"Arizona has no birthright or heritage in the
guilty Of the indictment against it.
Colorado river. The Colorado River Compact IS now
guilty of the indictment against it.
"The Compact does not and cannot facilitate the
development of lands in Mexico.

perlal valleys exposed to the menace of destructive
floods even though the building of dams to control
these floods should result in the regulation of the
rivers flow, thus possibly facilitating the use of wa
ter in Mexico.
"Is Arizona in fairness and equity entitled to
pay any more than she will receive under the Com
pact? If so, why?"
Governor Hunt has been true statesman He
OWNED the proper course to pursue in refusing to
accept the Colorado river compact He OWNED
that the best interests of Arizona were ieopardised

"COWARDLY BUSHWHACKERS"

Carl Hudspeth, Democratic congressman of
Texas, talks right out in meeting when he has any
thing to say.
In letter published today in the Nogales Inter
national Mr. Hudspeth denounces the attempt made
to discredt with the stockmen of Arizona the serv-
ice rendered them by Carl Hayden.
This attempt consisted in the mailing and dis
trlbution OF an anonymous circular-an unsigned,
scurrious attack upon tried and true friend Of
Arizonas live stock interests
"Cowardly bushwhackers," Mr. Hudspeth calls
the clrculators of this anonymous hand-bill
Mr.. Hudspeths letter recites in details the serv-
ices rendered Arizona stockmen by Mr.. Hayden. It
goes further than the printed record of the pro-
ceedngs of the national congress- It finds in that
record the FACTS which are sufficient to confound
and destroy the malicious snpers who hide behind
the sage brush and the cactus and shoot in the back
This letter will be found in full on anther page
of this newspaper. Arizona stockmen in particular
and the people of this state in general should read
every word of it.
The purpose of this anonymous statement is to
help Ralph Cameron. The Nogales international
is not Informed to whether not this miserable,
scoundrely business has the endorsement of Cam
erons managers or not but the fact it that they have
never denied their responsibility for it's circulation

CAMP WILL REMAIN HERE

Local Republicans are making last desperate eff
fort to swing votes into line for Senator Ralph Cam
eron at Tuesdays election, not becouse they realize
tnat Cameron has any chance Of being reelected but
desiring to offset at least little, if possible the in
tensity of the Hayden landslide or cyclone which will
engulf the state Tuesday.
The G. O. P. bosses here are apparently resorting
to extreme measures in digging up votes for Ralph
At least it appears that way, according to an adver
tisement in last nights Republican organ It read in
part as follows Keep Camp Here If We Don't Elect
Cameron, We Lose The Camp"
Now, Mr.. Voter, we want to advise you right now
not to swallow the Cameron camp dope being pedded
by the Cameron gang. REGARDLESS OF WHO IS
ELECTED TUESDAY, THE ARMY POST WILL
REMAIN IN NOGALES It will be here long after
you and have turned to dust.
But you can expect to be told again and again,
until the polls close Tuesday evening at o'clock,
that unless Cameron is elected Tuesday, Nogales will
lose the army post Don't believe such tommyrot.
