money is one day than the Cover
nor's salary is for the whole year.
I sometimes feel as Shakespeare
said: Let me have men about me
that are fat and sleek-headed
but yon hungry Cassius, he thinks
too much. 1 trust him not" "Yon
hungry Cassius thinks too much
for the Corporations. 'I trust him
not"
In Bisbee I had a fairly good
crowd, but the Ellinwood News
says l. had less than a hundred peo-
pie, and spread that over the Uni
ted States. In speaking there
said to those present that States
made mistakes, Nations made mis-
takes, individuals made mistakes,
and a great mistake was made in
Bisbee when twelve hundred labor
ing men were driven out of that
community and out of the State,
and this distinguished gentleman
was counsel, and there at that time.
Did he raise his voice? He says
have held office too long-I am not
fit for office have had no cor
poration back of me- In the first
State Legislature, when these bills
for the railroad men were passed,
it was fought and fought hard Then
Mr.. Baldwin, l think it was, at
Tucson, wired and asked me to hold
the bill. I said he had had two
weeks and l was going to sign the
bill and l did. They appealed to
the people of this State, got out a
referendum at the next election.
But that law is on the Statute books
today, and for twelve or fifteen
years the yhave been trying to get
rid of that law. And a man that
refuses to sign the Constitution
will try and get rid of that law at
the behest of some corporation !!
(Put that down, so he can read it,
Mrs. Reporter).
They say get "het up" 1t is
enough to ''het up" anybody and /
am not ashamed of it. I am not fit
to be in company, you know.
After the various campaigns in
this State retired in 1919 and in
1920 President Wilson sent me as
Minister Extraordinary and Pleni-
potentiary to Siam-a great honor.
Of course, after being at the Court
for over a year and meeting all the
distinguished diplomats and being
honored by the kingdom of Den
mark, and receiving many prices
and mobiles, I knew much royalty,
and they did not seem to think
was not fit for them Of course,
came back, but after a trip around
the world, where I went to differ
ent places and was received as a
representative citizen, and tried to
carry myself with dignity as a citi-
zen of Arizona, and now they say
they want to have somebody in the
Governors chair that they can be
proud of. 1t is enough to make a
man swear. A man who repudiat-
ed our Constitution and who was
silent when twelve hundred men
were deported-but I am not fit
company.
What is in front of us is the
question of the Colorado River.
Not legal question-but if it were
1 have all the legal ability I need.
1t takes a firm hand, and I have a
good deal of backbone, and some
thing in front to protect that back
bone, and back of me are the peo-
pie of this State. 1t is your heri-
tage and the heritage of your chill
dren. You have had industrial
peace for three years and half,
and I extended the olive branch of
peace and put this distinguished
gentleman on the Board of Regents
of the University, and then at my
request he was made President of
the Board of Regents, and now he
talks about this extravagant ad-
ministration. Do you know that
one-fourth of all the taxes goes to
the upkeep of the University of Ar
izona, and they expend that amount
of money. I extended the olive
branch, but it comes back with an
ask or ratt1esnake hidden in it's
branches or something of that kind,
because he is false to his Chief
when he refuses to sign the Con-
stitution In war traitors are shot.
In the piping times of peace the
electors can do the shooting. And
1 want to see them do it. l stand
for the manhood and the woman
hood of this State and for the pres
ervation and protection and devel-
opment of the Colorado River and
that is the only question
Spending more money in one day
than the Governors salary is for
one year, what will they have spent
