PARTY CHIEFS
PREPAR|NGFOR
FULL INQUIRY

PHOENIX, Oct 30. - Hq - Political
conference rooms were a-buzz tonight
as democrats and republicans prepared
for the refutation and substantiation
.of charges brought by the republican
senatorial candidate Senator Ralph II.
Cameron that $1OO,O slush money was
being poured into the state by eastern
copper and California interests to de-
feat him in the general election next
Tuesday. The republicans were silent,
content with the statement made yes
terday that they would have little
trouble in proving that moneys from
big interests outside the state were
Being used in the campaign to assure
a victory for Senator Cameron's OPP
ponent Representative Carl Hayden.
And outside a statement that the demo-
cratic STATE central committee was
ready for the investigation to be start
ed here tomorrow night by Senator
william H. King of Utah at the behest
Of Senator James A. Reed, chairman OF
the senate campaign funds committee,
nothing was forthcoming from the
democrats.
Earlier in the day, however, Louis
! 3. Whitney chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee, made
public a statement in which he assert
ed that The should insist that subpoe-
| mas be issued for c. Henry Stetson of
! Philadelphia: Hoval A. Smith, cam
] paign manager for Cameron; Cleve w.
Van Dyke, publisher of the Miami Sill
Yer Belt; one Clark, a Los Angeles
mining engineer; and Gordon Camp
/ bell president of the Calumet and Ari-
IONA Mining company
Stetson the statement said, was. all
! legged to have been large contributor
! to Cameron's campaign fund in 1920
and his partner to the claims under
1 the placer laws covering power sites
I in the Grand canyon Of the Colorado
! river This move was Interpreted to
mean that despite the Statement of
Reed that the 1920 campaign of Cam
eron could not at this time be investi-
gated by a member of his committee,
the democrats would seek to expose
what they declared were gross irregu-
+, Iarities six years ago on which charge
Cameron was indicted. Later. the
l charges against him were dismissed in
federal court.
Van Dykes support of Senator Cam
eron through the columns of his news
paper during the present campaign has
led to the allegation by regular" re-
I publicans that a coalition exists be-
tween Gov. George w. P. Hunt-also
supported by the Silver Belt-and the
!, republican senator Clark, the mining
: engineer, was said by whitney to be
, representing the Stetson- Cameron min

The democrats have retained three
Phoenix attorneys to represent them
at the hearing.

p statement said, "s upon those who
.. made the allegations. 1t will be up to

: substantiate their charges of slush
funds or TO be branded as the perpe-

as positive that the hair never at any

with it and the dazzling display OF
feminine apparel found within the

"The company formed to

claims is prepared to spend
several hundred thousand
dollars in development OF
it's newly acquired property,
and if the venture is sue
cessful the cities Of Bisbee

renewed prosperity" was
the statement Friday Of j.
s. Douglas, president of the
United Verde Extension
Mining company, parent
company Of the organiza-
ton, which is to start work
at once on the Bisbee prop
erty.
Douglas, George Kingdom, general
manager of the United Verde Exten-
sion, and M. j. Elsing, mining engi-
neer, after thorough inspection OF
the Bisbee Queen property decided to
locate the new shaft at point over
the hill from Warren, in Gold Gulch,
where the property's previous owners
had done their assessment work.
When questioned as to how much his
company was prepared to spend in de-
velopment work Douglas answered:
s.That is hard to say. If we are as for
tunate in this enterprise as we have
been in other ventures, it may not be
necessary to spend great sum OF
money. On the other hand, if, after
we have sunk an 500 foot shaft and
done some crosscutting without hitting
ore. but with indications continuing
favorable, we will probably sink to al
additional depth and may spend as
much as 100000"
George Kingdom, who accompanied
Douglas to the city Friday afternoon
was optimistic regarding the prospects
of the new company which has beel
formed for development of the Bisbe'
Queen.
Everything depends on whether o
