 We, the undersigned, citizens of Pinal connty, Arizona, and residents
 of the town of Maricopa, hereby

 ganization for the purpose of pro
 noting and aiding the election of i the candidates of the Republican
 party, of which we are proud to be
 called members, do hereby pledge ourselves to the hearty and earnest support of said party and meas ! urcs for the following reasons:

 belong the credit of raising this country from condition of general
 bankruptcy and disquIet to the pres ent position of unparalleled prosper ity and financial credit, the claims
 of the Democratic party nOtwith- standing. That we firmly believe in the traditions and history of the Re publican party as having at all times and under circumstances no matter how discouraging, cspouscd those measures consonant with patriotism and good government.
 2nd.-Judging the future from the past, we deem the interests of our country and our individual interests best served by a continuance of the Republican party m power, having shown it's readiness and ability to meet disaster, It should continue to direct affairs as the only party capa- ble of inspiring that confidence and trust i'll our governmental institutions at home and abroad which we so much desire
 3d--That we are proud of our party record and firmly believe in steadfastly holding on to the advan- tages gained by twenty years of good government.
