CAMERON AND THE COLORADO.
HIS REPLY

|, cause of his opposition to their Colo
RADIO river program"
The big guns have been turned
loose. He, of opposite political faith,
being in responsible executive au-
United States senate, are the tar
leader can take care of himself, and
am sanguine as to my own ability
to do so.
The Colorado River Steal
In conclusion, Mr.. President, there
are three propositions entering into
this personal attack upon met First,
Stephen Mather, who has pillaged,
plundered, and turned over, body and
soul, the great national parks of this
country to the various concession-
aires of monopolies, seeks to cover
up the rottenness exposed in the re-
cent senate investigation. Second,
a certain. gentleman, whom am re-
luctant to refer to, who has only one
ambition, and that is to become
United States senator from my state.
Third, the master Shylock, Chandler.
with his hundreds of thousands of
acres of Mexican land now being
titled by oriental labor, seeks to drive
me from the senate because, as he has
told others: a @
with Cameron, a republican sena-
tor, displaced by one of the demo-
cratic faith, Arizona will have but
little recognition in a republican ad-
ministration in congress; consequent
ly, our we'll devised program of the
development of the Colorado river
Boulder Canyon dam can be carried
through
This statement, Mr. President, re
moves the mask and shows the real
situation Through cunning and eve
their program. My record is an open
book The people of Arizona know
that I have been bitterly opposed
in ala these years by the powerful
corporations and sinister influences
within our borders. In making this
statement do so, referring not to
personalities in the makeup Of these
various industries. No. one can say
but that I, either in or out of office,
have always given each land every
one, rich or poor, a square deal. That
is all that anyone in this world is
entitled to. That is all 1 have ever
asked, but / am too old and have
stood too long in the forefront fight
ing for the rights of the masses to
bow at this age and accept the copper
collar, or. mess of pattage filled
with California gold, for sacrificing
our just rights in the Colorado river.
Harry Chandler and his conspirators
are the cause of the present unpleas-
ant condition of the Colorado ques-
tion.

ceptions, are rough and untutored, but,
save those who belong to the villain
caste, have hearts of gold. Occasion
ally. however, a young college man
who was drinking himself to death in
the great eastern city comes west ito

eye on him when you see him. He and
the college bred girl each breads the
other to think he or she is product

cued she falls in a faint, and in the
last scene she and the cowboy are OBJ
served in their happy home with the
cog curled up gracefully at their feet.
There is great deal of gambling
in the west and also many saloons
Wherer ude men shoot other men who
erefuse to drink at their invitation.
Often thes chool teacher of the dis
trict, an eastern girl who has come
out there to see, life, drops into the
saloon to ask the boys not to drink
so hard, and at her earnest request the
hardest drinker in the place sweeps
all the glasses. off the bar and an
nounces that anybody who takes an
other drink is a dead man.
This announcement, of course, leads
to dissension. Big Bill, the bar bully,
seizes lleg and hoists it to his lips.
whereupon the hardest drinker shoots
him through the heart, thus arousing
the undying love of the pretty school
teacher.
The following day the hardest
drinker walks into the school house
where the teacher is displaying charts
showing the dreadful effects Of alco-
hol on the human stomach. He OBJ

them from afar and builds a signal
fire to tell his tribe that they have
strayed beyond the protection of their
people.
If there is one maiden, he builds
one signal fire. If there are two
maidens he builds two fires. BY this
simple process he can tell the warriors
of the tribe exactly how many maid
ems they may expect to find, capture
and hold for ransom.
There would be reason for alarm
about this but for the fact that the
warriors never catch the maidens, al
though they frequently pursue them
for many leagues over the desert. AS
soon as maiden is pursued by a
warrior her faithful dog gallops off
madly to the ranch house, where he
finds a company of cowboys engaged
in game of poker-always for very
large stakes.
The cowboys leave large stacks of
chips and money on the tables and
leap through the windows to the cor
raj, which is just outside. There they
leap to the saddle, and the horses leap
over the corral fence and are forth
on the trail.

THE WEST, AS TLOOKS TO ONE
WHO HAS SEEN 1T IN MOVIES

How they determine in which di-
rection the maiden is riding in her
flight from the warriora is still a
matter of conjecture. There is prob
ably something in the behavior of the
dog when he interrupts the poker
game which makes this clear to them.
Anyway, they take the mountain
defile which leads to the ravine down
which the maiden is riding, and there
they lie in wait till the warriors come
laundering down the valley. There
after it goes hard with the warriors.
When the last warrior is slain the
ranch foreman rides on ahead till he
comes in sight of the maiden, who
mistakes him for pursuer and emp
ties her rsix-shooter at him. But luck

which merely pierces his shirt sleeve

"a continuation of senator
Ralph H. CamerOn's address, made !.
on the last day of congress in re-
ply to the "CamerOn and the
COIOradOrs articles of VIII Irwin,
to stephen asTs "BOrax'' Mather,
director OF national parks, and
to ERa5ahs Harry Chandler, edit
or and publisher of the Los An
geIes Times, In which newspaper
the irwin earticlcs recently ap-
peared.) M
Tn the previous alnstallments Of
Senator Cameron's address, an account
is given of his boyhood days and the
incident related of his arrival at Flag
staff, more than 40 years ago, when
he. was but a young man. His hard
ships as aHscout a prospector and a
miner in the wild Grand Canyon
country are reviewed and the story
told of the building of the first rail
road from Williams to the canyon by
Buclxys O'Neil,. the famous Arizona pa
triots and him. The fight made
against the Santa Fe to retain his
mining claims and the Bright Angel
by him, is then ,unfolded.
At this point the curtain is drawn
aside to show Stephen 7. Mather of
reputed questionable dealings respect
ing we1l-known Nevada borax COM
paiy, and Harry Chandler, millionaire
land owner in the Mexican state of
Lower California as the sinister in
fluences IN back of the Los Angeles
Times Irwin articles.
The address continues:
Governor Hunt Defended
Mr.. President, other actors have
recently come upon the stage. We
have pending one of the most bitter
political battles ever staged within
a state. We fight each other with all
the Instruments known in the game,
with all the heat and passion possi-
bless but, in the. midst of our own
fights we can about face and form a
united front to fight the common
enemy from, without.
Chandler and, Mather have been re-
Gently joined by the dual copper ma
nipulators of this country, who have
contributed their share to the jack
pot Of this huge slush fund, see4l-ng
my political obliteration. Neverthe-
lesss right must and will prevail.
There will be a copper tariff in due
course, and the 100000 struggling
miners of the copper industry in this
country will be protected and given
living wage.
In the last few days I have no
ticed the withdrawal from the race
for governor of my state. of that
venerable, leader of the common mass
es, and in his withdrawal he set
forth his basic reasons as follows:

small personal fortune he could not

ing into Arizona to defeat him be-

serves these charts attentively and
drink, declaration which is APP
plauGed warmly by all the little chill
dren, who know what terrible stuff
whiskey is.
But just as he has sworn his vow
in comes Big Bill carrying a large
bottle of some dark fluid, ropes the
hardest drinkeP and after throwing
him to the floor forces the burning
liquor down his throat. Then he
laughs harshly and proceeds to kiss
the teacher.
But the little nephew of the hardest
drinker, who has been taught to. live
as one must live if he is to exist in
the west, whips out gun and shoots
Big Bill. through the drinking elbow.
The bully trus and flees with the
child in full cry after him. Both leap
to horses which the director has pru-
IDENTIFY stationed just outside, and the
chase begins. In an angle of noun
tain valley Big Bill halts, reloads his
gun and sits down to wait till the
child rides UP to certain death.
But before the child can take this
rash step the hardest drinker and the
school teacher descend through a
mountain pass, catch Big Bill unaware
and lash him to a tree, where they
leave him to think over his evil ways.
This he does in time, and is best man
at the wedding which follows.
One of the remarkable things about
the west is how people ever got there.
All the wagon trains to be observed in
the movies are intercepted and scat
tered by Indians, who destroy practi-
cally every member of them. The trains
bound in that direction are almo in
variably plunged through bridges,
which bandits, seeking to loot them,
have burned. In modern days heroes
going west, when cabled by their
agents in that section of the country
that their girls are being annoyed by
the attentions of Mexicans, are shot
down from mountain tops by the allies
of the Mexicans, and have to make the
rest of the journey on foot.
1t is a great tribute to American
heroism of these young men that they
merely smile at such obstacles and
carry on until the ladies that they love
are safely in their arms, their Mexican
annoyers being all either shot or in
Jail.
Among some there exists an idea that
the west is fairly we'll settled and has
several buildings which are not on the
bungalow type. But every movie goer
knows that this is an exaggeration. 1t
is a country in which every house sur
rounds a patio, and where all the men
wear handkerchiefs loosely knotted
about their necks, and all the women
wear short riding skirts, and carry re-
volvers at their belts. The vegetation,
where there is any, consists of cactus,
acacia and eucalyptus trees, and the
fauna comprises of coyotes, sheep dogs,
steers and an occasional mountain lion.
The principal business is conducting
general stores, gambling houses and
saloons. The women are refined and
cultured, and are fond of the best liter
ature. They teach school or clerk in
the general store until they are mar
ried, excepting the few who are the
daughter of rich ranch or mine own
ers, and who are sent east to college

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

The west is large place populated
by wild Indians and COWBOYS who have
battles every day over the possession
of beautiful maidens. The maidens
are the daughters of honest ranchmen
whose homes are surrounded with eu-
calyptus trees and look out on the
COW dotted prairie. The Indians live
sometimes in caves in the cliffs ana
sometimes in small tents. They are
very surly, and often violent.
In the west beautiful naidens ride
horseback and frequently go out into
the woods or the desert to bring home
the COWS at milking time. Whenever
they do this an Indian spy, stationed
on the top OF a high mountain, sees
