SENATOR CAMERON ACC DRIED GREATEST OF 8.
ALL OvAIlONS in PHOENIX; THOUSANDS IN
MONSTER PARADE HONORING "GO-GETTER"

dians, who made the trip to pay their
for them the appropriation to build the
Coolidge dam which will irrigate the
Florence Casa Grande valley in which
they are situated. Doctor Lay gave a
stirring account of the aggressive man
| ner in which Senator Cameron worked
/ for and obtained the, passage of the
Cameron San Carlos bill. The address
was received with prolonged applause
at several points.
| Hoval A. Smith, prominent mining
| engineer and miner of Arizona, fol-
/ lowed Doctor Lay on the program.
Smith gave an outline of the condition
of the copper industry and the copper
miner in the state. In substance, he
declared that less miners were operat-
ing in the state than ever before, and
that the copper miner is receiving less
for his labor than any other worker Of
his status in the United States. He
charged that free trade, cheap labor
and foregn copper was the cause of
the lamentable condition. He said that
copper was the only metal in the coun-
try net protected by duty, and warn
ed his audience that unless duty were
placed on the foreign metal that Ari-
zona could look for the disappearance
| of copper mining in Arizona within a
Iperiod of seven years.
Senator Cameron next arose to ad-
dress the gathering. After prolonged
cheers CT the crowd he began to speak.
Senator Cameron was visibly affected
by the spontaneously generous welcome
accorded him when he was presented
by Judge Phillips
II have had long experience in Ari-
zona," he said, "and on hundreds of
occasions have spoken from public
platforms to my fellow citizens Ct this
great state, but this marvellous gather
ing of my friends in Phoenix and from
the length and breadth of Maricopa
and adjoining counties-see this mag
nificent reception, of which any man
might be proud-warms my heart and
stirs my blood as nothing else has done
in my life of so years in this south
western empire. 1t renews my strength
and fires my courage to fight on for
Arizona, to battle for her rights, to
assist as best 1 can in her every for
ward step, SO long as God gives me
breath to champion her cause.
II have great and enduring love for
Arizona, DEEPER perhaps, than that of
most men for the states of their ma
tiviey or adoption, for the reason that
I feel that, I procured her admission
the 48th star in cur glorious flag, in
into the union of states-that 1 placed
spite of the pessimists and the do-noth-
ings, who brazenly proclaimed that it
could not be done
II did not come here to talk politics
to you, my friends; I came to talk
business"
After brief comment on the copper
situation as developed by Smith, Sena-
tor Cameron got right down to brass
tacks on the legislation he has passed
for Arizona and the Legislation he ex-
poets to pass for Arizona in the future.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-10-08

He attacked the record of his opponent
in Straightforward unequivocal SEN
tences, and told the people that he hao
no personal interest in the election
that it was up to them to choose the
to get things done for Arizona. Sena-
tor Camertn's address was punctuated
with vociferous applause.
The part of Camerons address which
took the crowd to person was his at
tack on Harry Chandler, publisher and
owner of the Los Angeles Times, III
which paper the Will Irwin Cameron
and the Colorado" articles appeared
Senator Cameron charged that Harry
Chandler persistently refused to pub
lish the Irwin articles up until the
time that he, Senator Cameron, blocked d
the Swing ohnson bill for the build
ing of the Boulder canyon dam. From
that time on, Senator Cameron charged
that Chandler entered into what he
termed political conspiracy for his
defeat. Cameron brought out in no
uncertain words that Irwin was class
mate and played on the same football
team at Stanford university with Carl
Hayden, and that Irwin openly boasted
that he was writing the Cameron and
the Colorado river" articles for his
friend, Hayden.
The senator further charged that
Chambers part in the publishing OF
the articles, was nothing more than a
bold attempt to grab the Colorado river
in order to irrigate thousands of acres
of his lands in Old Mexico, below the
California border.
Cameron, declared to his audience
that he made long and deep study Of
the problem of the development CT the
Colorado and had come to the conclu-
sion that the only worth while data on
the subject was to be found in the fam
Gus Larue, report, and from that had
come to realize that the Only feasible
place to build dam with fairness to
Arizona was at Glenn canyon. He
stated that he was the ranking mem
ber of the senate military affairs COM
mittee and would most probably be-
come it's chairman upon his return to
the senate. He gave assurances that
he would have a board of army engi-
neers similar to the Panama canal
board, investigate the river problem,
and from their findings he would in
troduce a bill for the construction Of
the Glenn canyon dam, which process
of procedure would effect a saving of
about $2,OOO,O0O in the preliminary
costs of the structure.
Senator Cameron then began strong
attack on the Colorado river compact,
saying that it would never be ratified
by this state, and if such a catastrophe
should occur in Arizona, that as. long
as he was United States senator from
it would never pass congress.
He said that during recent visit to
President Coolidge, at which the entire
river problem was gone into in detail,
the chief executive Ct the nation as
sured him that no influence could be
brought to bear which would prevent
him from keeping an open mind on the
subject and acting to the best of his
ability in seeing that Arizona was ac-
corded full justice in the matter.
Cameron called attention to the de-
plorable condition existing in the cot
ton industry CT the country. especially
in Arizona. lie insisted that the only
