be made in favor of the protective
tariff. asbestos should not be on the
free list.
But it was put on the free list.
The Johns-Manville company, the
greatest manufacturer of asbestos
products, came down with an as
bestos schedule What did it pro-
vide? That crude asbestos should
be in the free list, but every pro-
duct made from asbestos should
have a high tariff on it, sucn as
packing on steam pipes, and on up
to the finer fabrics made out OF il.
''It was a manufacturers tariff;
it was in the interest of every COM
pany, from the Johns -Manville com
pany on down. But the miner gUt
nothing, and he was clearly entitl-
ed to something"
Colorado River
Mr.. Hayden next came to the
problems of the Colorado river
He criticized the selfishness of
California in refusing to talk to
Arizona until it had previously
agreed on the building of a dam
at Boulder Canyon Mr.. Hayden
said the Swing-J ohnson bill was
put through the senate committee,
received the o. K. of President
Coolidge and his cabinet and be-
came an administration measure.
Then all batteries were turned Oh
the house committee Of irrigation
and reclamation of which, he (Mr.
Hayden) is a member. They tried
to jam it through at the last ses-
sion of congress, the candidate de-
clared, and he became convinced
that his best plan would be to drag
it along and see that it got de-
layed at every opportunity until it
became time for adjournment when
the legislative jam is so great,
many bills have to be sacrificed.
81 did all I could to delay the
bill and see that it did not get to
the house calendar and the admin
istration program. Senator Ashurst
presented Arizona's point of view
and he filed the only minority re-
port against it in the senate. I
pointed out the injury the Swing
Johnson bill would do to Arizona
and asked representative OF other
states how they would like that
done to their people Then I told
them it would mean years and
years of litigation in the highest
courts, - declared Mr.. Hayden
protection of states rights in the
Colorado river matter, and said ne
would continue in the future if
elevated to the high office of Uni
ted States Senator, continue to
fight for Arizona, as he has tried
and many times succeeded in de-
Tending Arizona's rights in Con-
gress.
Referring to CALIFORNIA; s attitude
on the Colorado river, Mr.. Hayden
said he has been unable to figure
out why Governor Richardson of
California, has called a special ses-
sion which has caused Senator
Johnson with the other wing of
the Republican party in California"
to bitterly denounce the governor
and his policy on the Boulder
Canyon dam, Anyway" Mr.. Hay
den said California and her Colo
rado river policies are reeking with
politics. In fact l understand that
every candidate in California is
"for" the Boulder Canyon dam,
even candidates for constable and
justice of the peace, have it print
ed on their cards"
With Mr. Hayden was John w.
Murphy, attorney general of Ari-
zona and Democratic nominee for
reelection. Mr.. Murphy spoke
briefly on matters pertaining to his
office audits function and what it's
accomplishments have been during
the past two years.
Lewis Douglas, candidate for
congress, Judge A. G. McAlister,
and Frank Luke, candidate for Tax
Commissioner, who had been with
the Hayden party, were unable to
appear here due to other scheduled
meetings in the central portion of
the state.
The candidates, together with
county candidates held a meeting
at ST. Joseph n the fornoon and THE
night before held big meeting in
Holbrook.
On the rostrum with Mr. Hayden

Winslow district, Phil Sawyer, can
didate for county attorney, Wallace
Ellsworth, candidate for county
treasurer, d. E. Mclaughlin, can
