Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1892-11-04

the clear atmosphere Of justice and face
the record Stand up and tell the peo-
Pile OF Mesa that you voted and labored
to the end that they might be dis
franchised, that the only power
given an American citizen to protect his
home and property afrom the onslaughts
oil political demagogues was taken IRON
them by and with your consent and
approval.
Now, a few more words and am
done. The Zulick speech was delivered
to prejudice the people of Mesa against
their friends and neighbors it was
delivered TO prejudice honest and fair
minded men against those who have
stood like wall between tyranny, test
oaths, and other injustices to the Nor
mon people of Arizona.
What Democrat, may | ask, has ever
been more loyal more able and a
truer and consistent friend OF the Nor
mons than Judge Webster Street |?
When prejudice, hate and political
demogogury ran rife in the Republican
territorial convention, what voice was
raised higher, what arguments more
powerful, what sentiments more manly
and far-reaching than those OF Judge
Street in the defense of justice to law
abiding people2
jerry Millay and Webster Street
scattered like chat the arguments of
Judge Wright of Tucson against the
Mormons and not only honored them.
selves by their manly, honest course,
but represented the loyal sentiment of
every honest man in Arizona. Yet
MIR. Zulick asks the people of Mesa to
repay the fidelity, the friendship of
years OF these people by casting their
votes against friends.
He asks them to help defeat one OF
Arizona's ablest and best citizens, &
man that has been tried and found true,
man that never trailed his banner in
the mire OF prejudice to satisfy the
edicts OF his own party. This is the
man that Mr.. Zulick asks the citizens
OF Mesa to repudiate at the polls. They
wont do 1t. They are not built on that
plan, for in my long acquaintance with
the people OF that section | have found
them staunch and true, never wavering
in their fealty to friend, and when the
9Th OF November comes around | feel
that the loyal men Of Mesa who never
repaid friendship and kindness with q
blow, will cast their votes for Judge
Street.
What is true of Webster Street is also
true OF j. Y. I. Smith, j. A. Marshall,
o. l.. Pease and other publcans.
These men will not only deal honest
ly with the people of Mesa, but would
fight to the death any attempt to dis
criminate against them by legislation.
The Democracy are always friends Of the
Mormons when they want their votes,
but when Mesa offered one of her best
men and one OF Arizona's best citizens,
@. X. Hakes, for the office OF supervisor,
how then did they show their graf
itude will tell you, they put their
knife in their boot leg and sailed forth
to scalp Mr.. Hakes as they did before
the Hon. Ii. g. Rogers, another good
and honorable man OF Mesa.
Now, repeat that the Chickens
have come home to roost." Another
election is at hand and the Mormon
vote is needed and the meu who wore
their shoe soles off in their travels to
slaughter G. r. Hskes and II. q. Rogers
are needing votes, hence Zulick's I'M
truthful appeal to these people.
In closing | wish to say that had it
not been for the Republican votes cast
for Z. X. Hakes two years ago he would
not have received 400 votes.
j. l.. b. Alexander, Mr.. Zulick's
bosom friend, then had knife in hand,
now he is chairman of the Democratic
county committee and asking the Nor
mons to vote as he dictates, as he is
their friend.
Justice sometimes slumbers and dem
agogury sometime prevails, yet l feel
that no true-hearted Mormon with the
record before him will dance to the
music of Zulick and Alexander and vote
to defeat men that have always been
true to their every interest.
