HEARD WILL NOT BE In RACE FOR
GOVERNOR ON REPUBLIC CAN TICKET

PHOENIX = Dwight B. Heard,
who ran for governor of Arizona
on the Republican ticket in 1924
will not be a candidate for guber-
Material honors this year. He has
so announced in a letter to H. S.
Corbet of Tucson, chairman of the
Republican State Central commit
tee, ~ follows:
In recent conferences you ad-
vised me of a general desire thru
out Arizona that l announce myself
as candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor and urg-
ed me to take such action. In re-
Sponse | stated that in the inter-
ests of our party and in fairness
to others who might desire to an
nounce their candidacy would
make an early decision.
"Your friendship and that of the
large number of men and women,
who by their loyal support nearly
secured my election as Governor in
1924, means much to me and have
given your suggestion very careful
consideration. The fight we made
tR-c< years ago for clean, efficient
government and constructive pol
icieS was worth while and it is with
real regret that 1 have to advise
you that / have decided not to be
a candidate.
MY opposition is we'll known to
Senator Cameron's obstructive tao
tics affecting the Colorado river de-
Velopment and to certain principles
for which he stands.
Frankly, in my desire to help
Arizona from the obstructive grip
of Governor Hunt l will not be
$ placed in a position where, as a
Republican candidate, might be
expected to support Senator Cam
eron under the call of the party
regularity. Such action on my part
would be a tacit approval of the
Hunt-Cameron alliance of which
there are many and increasing in
indications.
"Often there comes time when
we have to choose between princi-
pie On one side and expediency and
personal advantage on the other.
I am cheerfully standing for a fun
damental principle-at least I am
maintaining my own peace of mind
and self-respect.
mo man is greater than his par
ty and it is in no spirit of arrog-
ance that I take this position. 1
am writing earnestly, with i'll will
toward none but with deep con-
vic ian."

HUNTS SECRETARY TELLS COAST WOMEN
BOULDER DAM WOULD BE in QUAKE ZONE

LOS ANGELES-The history and
background of Arizona's opposition
to the Swing-Johnson bill, and the
Boulder canyon project on the
Colorado river which that bill out
lines were pictured this week be-
fore the Women's Friday Morning
club here by H. S. McCluskey, sec
retary to Governor George w. P.
Hunt of Arizona. Specific objec-
tions to the Black canyon dam site.
where it is proposed the Boulder
canyon dam should be built, as the
largest engineering structure of it's
kind in the world, were enumerat-
ed by Secretary McC1uskey as fol-
lows:
'The site is in the greatest fault
area in the United States.
1T is in an earthquake zone.
Evaporation losses would be
tremendous.
"It will submerge $64,OOO, 900
worth of gold bearing gravels.
1T is located on a basalt base
which has tendency to split even
when not under stress.
''The depth to bedrock is 1853 feet
at Boulder canyon and 120 feet at
Black canyon.
"And finally there is this fiat dec
laration made by E. G. LaRue of
the United States geological survey.
If you want to irrigate a million
acres of land in Mexico and dedi-
cate a million acres of land to the
desert in the United States, go
ahead and build Boulder or Black
canyon dam
Recounting the history of nego-
tiations between Arizona and Cali
fornia, Secretary McCluskey con-
cluded:
II have spent considerable
amount of time in Los Angeles, and
other members of the committee ap-
pointed by the governor have done
likewise, in an endeaVor to arrive
at a satisfactory adjustment of this
controversy, but those who have
been representing California have
seemed to prefer to try to get from
congress a law which would rob
Arizona for the benefit of California
rather than to deal fairly with a
sister state
'But they have not made much
headway because even though they
get the law passed by congress, it
is going to take a decision of the
United States Supreme court to say
whether a state can be despoiled
and robbed of it's resources in order
to enrich another state"
