Ignored by the Civil Service Commits

Wittner, civil service appointee in the

mission with deliberately passing the

lions of the ban especially in the De-

CAMPAIGN OF MISREPRESENTATION

part OF the Republican press of Arizona IS
engaged in desperate attempt to make Herbert Ho-
overs attitude on the Boulder Canyon Dam appear
favorable to Arizona It is like trying to make black
appear as white.
Were Hoover's attitude favorable to Arizona, or
even fair and disnterested, there would be occa-
sion for so much repeated explaining is being in
dulged in by the Republican press of the State not
ably the Arizona Republican and the Tucson Citizen.
The Citizen in effort to repair the damage
done to Hoover's candidacy in Arizona by his Los
Angeles declaration in favor of Boulder Canyon
Dam, has been representing that a subsequent 'un-
derstandng" had with Hoover on the occasion
of his visit at Grand Canyon But when challenged to
do so, the Citizen failed to produce any definite evil
dence showing that Hoover had changed his position
from that which he declared in Los Angeles Nor has
the Citizen produced any responsible citizen Of Ari-
zona empowered to speak for Hoover the subject
These papers have, in their frenzied efforts to
square Hoover with the electorate of Arizona degen
Grated into the rankest sort of Misrepresentation.
For example, the Arizona Republican Of last
Sunday, makes the following statement in the
Of an editorial attempting to present Hoover in a
favorable light to the Arizona electorate:
"Voters have, therefore, not become excited
when they have been told that Herbert Hoover
is the enemy of Arizona, that he is in favor of
the Boulder Dam and the Swing Johnson bill.
They learn that in word has Mr.. Hoover de-
clared enTnity toward Ar zona. They know from
the record that he is not in accord with the
Swing Johnson bill it has been written, and
they know that in his Los Angeles speech he
committed only to the highest dam, the present
engineering commission at any point found feas-
ible."
The of the phrase "at any point" by the Re-
publican editor is nothing less than deliberate eff
fort to deceive the voters
AS quoted by the Associated Press under date
of August 18th and published in the newspapers of
the State, including the Arizona Republican, Hoover
declared at Los Angeles:
II scarcely need repeat my support to that deve
opment which have often given during the
last seven years We want the greatest reservoir
at Boulder Canyon that the engineers will re-
commend, and am hopeful that the project will
receive favorable action from the present con-
gress"
Hoover declared unequivocably for the biggest
reservoir that engineers would recommend at BOUL-
DER CANYON SITE. He did not declare for a res
ervor at "any point" that engineers might recon-
mend.
When one observes such palapable efforts at
misrepresentation the part of the largest news
paper in the State it is not difficult to understand
why newspapers of large circulation frequently do
not enjoy proportionate amount of confidence and
prestige among their readers.
