haunts Of the devil, and erected
state where the humbrst are protected
from the tread Of the ever threatening
tyranny OF monol oily; where ny easy

are reduced and small outs the rul-

where capital is treated as an a1i'
coded labo1er, permitted TO work,
if he does not try to boss the job, and
is assured Of his pay from Che
wealth of the resources and the in

carefulest practical discrimination,
and grated on the young tree Of state
many reforms with the grip and eau

constitution as that will be, and all
the people Of Arizona will say; ''God
speed it.
But i'll this constitution now before
US THERE'S DANGER! GREAT
DANGER! THE GATES ARE
LEFT OPEN!
There are always among US schem-
ers seeking flaws in the laws and to
make laws with holes in them SO big
that rivers can flow through them;
schemers who would, if they could
corner the air and Sell it back to us
again; and they always come with
most plausible propositions beating
their breasts with protestations of
love for the people, SO that few, if any
OF US, can tell in just what manner
they wIl come 10 rob us, but come
they surely viii if we leave these
doors unlocked.
If we start on the wrong road we
shall not arrive at the goal of pros
perty except by the cirouiteus route
of disappointment, delay and disaster,
and, indeed We may perish iii futile
effort on the desert, and never arrive
there; or perish amidst abundance;
as the Irish did Of starvation in 1910,
when t4ere was plenty in the land
passing before their eyes on the high
ways and by ways. Their toll had
produced this abu 'udance, but 1t was
not theirs, aud they could not take
Of it. They had lost tn cir rights.
Men of Arizona! You who love
progress; You who wish that we
may avoid the evils that have
afflicted other and older commuDitie.>,
who believe that We should profit by |
their experience you who wish for re-
form in election; you who hold sacred
the name "wife," one wife, not con-
cubine-you who believe that in the
of homes-homes If
one pair in natures order, is the
safety Of the state; that bigamy and /
polygamy are iustful aud should be
suppressed; you vino do not wish that
Arizona shall have vast Increase Of
that sect which believes III and prac
ices polygamy and has denounced and
still teaches treason to the United
States for its prohibition of polygamy;
you who do not wish that we shall be
1omina ted in our local and territorial
affairs by this sect holding if not the
at least a balance Of power;
you who wish for statehood only when
we can hive it under a constitution
which will not soon make US repent
under burdens, in tears and hopeless
revilings our unwisdom in its adop-
ton, fail not to so to the polls and
vote no on this constitution.
This address goes forth without the |
prestige or burden of any names at
tachpd to it.
Unjust carry conviction and awaken
to danger on its own truths
THERE are party men and party
