MI. Jayakara said he saw Gandhi

he said, did Gandhi express an un-

NOT SO HOT FOR

Ex-Governor Hunts reference to
his aid in building roads has been

speech here Wednesday night. For
three years some of the old timers
in this section wore the tires off
their machines calling up at the
capitol in an endeavor, so they say,
to keep Coolidge from being left off
the map. In fact, the road from
the diversion dam, as originally
built, when Mr. Hunt had full power
over the highway department, did
cut this town out by going to the
west and coming into the Florence

that it was only after the highway

HOW THE EX-GOVERNOR
HELPED THE FARMERS?

The only time Ex-Governor Hunt made any
pretense of helping the Casa Grande Valley was
after it became almost a certainty that the
appropriation bill calling for its construction
would be passed. Then he consented to the
sending out of letter supposed to come from
his office. He spoke about this letter in Cool
idge, saying Henry Ashurst had stated it was a
great factor in getting the dam. This letter
written by republican and mailed by gills
working for this republican. The writing of
the letter, the payment for stamps for several
thousand copies of it, and the mailing of the
letter was paid for by this republican, who was
assisting Senator Cameron. The only assistance
received from Mr. Hunt, then governor, was the
using of the state stationery, bearing his name
as its highest official. If this is the letter the
ex-governor mentioned in his speech the fore
going is the history of it.
When the pioneer workers to secure the San
Carlos Dam (now the Coolidge Daml spent
years trying to get the government interested,
George Maxwell. Mr.. Hunts friend and ally was
their enemy 1t was Mr.. Maxwell's influence
as leader of reclamation who had the Roose-
welt dam built instead of the San Carlos altho
the latter was selected for the site of big dam.
Years afterwards, when the diversion dam
above Florence being dedicated, it was
MaXwell's friends who stated that building the
diversion dam was one thing and getting the
water to run into it anothr. They figured
on grabbing all the water the Upper Gila
1t was Mr. Hunt Mr. George Maxwels
friend, whose administration would not lend
money to the poor farmers of this valley who
used pumping plants for irrigation
Senator Henry Ashurst and Carl HAYDEN
made valiant and successful scrap for the i'm
pounding of the waters of the Gila river and
they have always led the ticket in this valley
when running for office Ex-Governor Hunt has
never carried the valley in a general election.
The farmers know the reason
