and to advance these all absorbing In
terests will be my ambition. When
came to this territory many years age
and contrasted the barren deserts will
the green fields and rivulets OF my ol,
eastern home, II made my heart sore
l thought had left Gods country 4
inhabit Satans. hut when the possibil
tiles Of Arizona dawned upon my vision
when ] learned Of the immense richie
these barren hills contained, when
found that water only is necessary (,
be developed to make garden OF Eder
of our vast valleys, make happy hone
for millions OF our race, l concluded
that no better spot in the univers.
could be..selected for the ambitious reali
zation Of young mans fancy, and the
people Of our old eastern homes know
not Of what grand material the popula
tion Of Arizona 10 composed Of. The,
know not the sturdy men and noble
women who have come here in sdvancs
OF civilization, the men who have tried
and succeeded to make this the bullion
producing country OF the world, and who
will, with the great help OF their devoted
women, in time make our new state
the garden spot Of the universe.
Arizona demands statehood and g
state she must become We have more
natural resources than Nevada, Wyom.
ing, or many of the new western states.
Why are We left out in the cold? The
republican party will no. have it made q
party issue and Why? Because they
know that their representative in Con.
gre,s would not have the power to
achieve success, because being q repub.
licsn his pIeadings would be in vain.
A democratic delegate will meet with
a generous support from tine democratic
majority, as in the event Of success he
can promise an additional democratic
gain Of two in the Senate and one tor q
start in the lower House.
Mr.. Patterson was elected delegate
from the Centen isl state oy an i'm
menae majority. He was elected by
republican voters, who knew that the
salvation OF the tate consisted in send
ing democrat to gain the good will OF
the democratic house. and he succeeded,
but never again was democrat sent
from that state. Republicans we're sent
to the Senate. Why was Patterson se.
lectsd? Because he affiliated with the
party comprising the majority.
And 30 it will be with Arizona at the
coming Congress. Both houses are
strongly democratic, and they will not
support the plesdings Of republican
delegate; il statehood yJu want you
must send democrat to plead with the
party in power. and if you elec, me, I
will he my ambition to Eff ct the ad-
mission OF our beloved territory to the
noble galaxy Of states comprising our
great union. And the other great issue,
Il not the greater one, is the silver
question.
One, lenti6ed with all the interests OF
his territory, one. dear and close to the
hearts Of all trne Ariz ,nians, one nee.
sssary to our welfare. TO our success in
life, and 10 crown our manly efforts TO
make this the greatest country on the
ACE OF the earth.
Give US free coinage Of silver, and our
will shown wealth galore, our
miners will be rich, onr merchants pros
perous, and our farmers independent.
1t will stimulate all sorts Of interests, il
will cause our great wealth to develop
onr great agricultural and Horticultural
interests, it will canse water to flow
where it never fem before, it will make
grasses grow, where a single grass never
xrew before.
Our rivers will he tapped, canals bnilt,
and water supplied to the burning sands

ields OF alfalfa, orchards, citrous and de.
will testify to the powers OF
money and intelligent use Of head and
muscle of our Arizona pioneers Thou.

will be, where now the festive coyote
and Lo, the poor Indian, his cousins and
his aunts exc out an almost antidiluvian
existence.
But deny silver its Unborn rights, de-
