In 1912, Arizona was admitted to Statehood, and Orator Ashurst achieved his great ambition: he was elected as the State's first U. S. Senator.

Album items: Songs of the South African Veld, sung by Josef Marais and his Bushveld band. Part Huguenot, part Dutch and a lot of just plain cowboy is the music of the Transvaal.

Westerns and Spanish-American war ballads...
