TO REFLECT CAMERON
lsnecial TO the Diapatchl

WICKENBURG, Oct %. = Senator
.aIph H. Cameron is builder, al
creator and the state of Arizona
should send him back to the United
states senate If our state expects to
grow" Tom Maddox, former state
ena,,neer declared in introducing SEN
ator Cameron at Wickenburg. A large.
and enthusiastic audience was on
hand to hear Senator Cameron pre-
ent his platform for re- election.
at is a good business proposition
for Arizona to send Cameron back to
the senate" Maddox told the aud.
ence. "Arizona has one democratic
and one republican senator now. The
nresent national administration is re-
publican and will be at least two
wears and five months longer AS
long as we have a republican senator
he can go to the president as po-
cal ally and get things that this
state needs or stop legislation that
lis harmful ito Arizona.
I'm Ralph Cameron Arizona has
fearless, fighting administration SEN
ator whose influence with the pres
ident was demonstrated in his Sc
I
los bill, the Yuma farmers relief,
the blocking of the transfer from
Arizona of the border military posts
and the stopping of the granting
OF Diamond creek or other Colorado
river permits before Arizona was pro-
tected on the great stream.
"The Santa Fe compact and the
Sw:ng-Johnson bill are still before
IL,
;s a republican state. We must have
one republican senator from Arizona
ito overcome the influence Of the
California republican senators with
the republican members OF the SEN
ate. Maddox compared Carl Hayden
with Congressman Mondell of Wyom
ling who was floor leader in the
house.
i wyoming had one republican and
one democratic senator Speaker Gill
lette of the house was going tc
the senate Monden would have been
| elected speaker of the s-ouse tbs
lpower of this position would have
! gene to Wyoming. But Mondell was
selfish He sacrificed like Carl Hay
den the committee seniority and press
tfge his state had secured by send
ing him to congress for years. The
reople of Wyoming defeated Monden
because of his selfishness ana tht.
I Arizona electorate will deal out the
same Justice at the coming election.
Maddox said.
i eff a senator's salary were higher
than a congressman and HayGer
and Mondell needed more money to
pay the family bills it would have
been different, but the salaries Of a
senator and congressman are the
! ne. 1t is wrong for the states
advantages to be sacrificed for the
personal ambition of the man who it
has already greatly favored"
/ In his opening remarks Senator
Cameron reviewed briefly the WORK
he has done as senator from Arizona.
He stressed the need of a protective
duty on copper, long staple cotton
and on hides and said when he re>
turned to the senate he would Sc
cure them. He told the audience of
his fight to obtain many appropria-
tions for buildings and bridges.
e 'I have fought equally as hard
against legislation which was harm
full to our state" he said, II have
secured more than ten million dol
lars when I was just new senator
at a time when war debts had forced
economy on our people. Now I an.
on the appropriation AMI other pow
erful committees and this year the
government will have a four hundred
! million dollar surplus Peturn me to
the senate and Arizona viii get from:
the government funds to develop
j this large portion of the state sHn
under federal control" Senator Cam,
4 eron declared.
