 PLATFORM:
 The Republican Party of Gila County, in convention assembled, heartily endorse the platform as adopted by the National Republican Convention, at Chicago, and do hereby affirm their allegiance to the principles therein promulgated.
 Believing that the indications are most favorable to the election of Harrison and Morton, the Republicans nominees for President and Vice President, and recog- nizing how important for the welfare of the Territory of Arizona it is that our | delegate to Concres be in accord politi- cally with the National Administration, We therefore appeal to the Republican voters of Gila county to cast their ballots for the Republican nominee for delegate to Congress.
 That we ask that the office of Superin- tendent of Public Instruction be abolish ed, believing that 1t is a superduous of fee. thereby saving to the Territorial School Fund the suu of S2500 per au- num- That we also ask that the office of Commissioner of Immigration be abol- ished, which will save like amount of the funds of the Territory. That we ask for q careful revision of the laws of our Territory, eliminating therefrom all contradictions and ambi- guities, thereby securing to us a simpler and more comprehensible code of laws. That we ask that the office of County | Superintendent of Publc Schools be abolished, and the duties of said office transferred to the Board of Supervisors, thereby saving to the County School | Fund the sum of $500 per annum.
 That we point with pride to the econo- mical and wise administration of our county affairs under Republican rule heretofore, and pledge our party to a re- inauguration of the same sound policy.
