Cila County Democrats Resent
Van Dykes Atten1pt to Deliver
arizona to Hunt and Cameron

and his record in congress by the
said C. w. Van Dyke and his Miami
Silver Belt are malicious and disloyal
to the Democratic party and its can
didates and do not represent or re-
fleet the sentiment of the Democrats
of Gila county:
NOW, THEREFORE,, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED, that the Gila County
Democratic central committee, IN
meeting duly assembled, does hereby
condemn and denounce the disparag-
ing and malicious attacks by the said
C. w. Van Dyke and his newspaper,
the Miami Daily Silver Belt, upon our
candidate, Carl Hayden, as acts of
ingratitude, disloyalty to the Demo-
cratic party and Democracy; and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that the Gila county Democratic CEN
trail committee in meeting duly as
sembled, does hereby unqualifiedly
endorse Carl Hayden and his candi-
dacy for the United States senate,
and does hereby urge every Demo-
crat in Gila county and the state. of
Arizona to actively support and vote
for Carl Hayden for the United
States senate; and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that copy of this resolution be
given to Carl Hayden and that
copy be sent to Hon G. w. p. Hunt,
Democratic governor of Arizona, for
appropriate action on his part and
on the part of the Democratic admin
istration; and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that a copy of this resolution be pub
lished in the press throughout the
state.
Van Dyke was appointed to the
regency of the Arizona University by
Governor Hurt and the appointment
was confirmed by the state senate.
He was made member of the State
Industrial commission, but resigned
last summer. In addition to this, he
was named as a member of every
Colorado river commission selected
by the governor, and at the Tucson
conference in 1922 he was one of
the most active participants.
Feeling in Gila county against
Van Dyke is running high, since
Carl Hayden is unusually popular
there, and it is generally conceded
that hereafter any support given a
candidate by the Silver Belt will be
more of liability than an asset.
The stand of the paper will be in
strumental in giving Hayden a big
majority here.
