At that time he stated what I think Is sound. This is an editorial published in his paper. the Arizona Republican. and it sounds statesmanlike to me: " Since assuming the position of spokesman for the opponents of the compact. Governor Hunt professes to fear te rapacity of California. he professes to fear development to the advantage of American interests in Mexico and the founding of an Asiatic colony. professes to fear disaster to Arizona from the construction of a dam at Boulder Canyon. in the event of ratification of the compact. These fears are without merit In so far as they bear any relationship to the compact. The broadcasting of them has all the signs and sounds of propaganda."
