form and Tn the next advocating the free coinage of silver.
 Judge Woy's speech was cut short by the appearance of the platform commit tee which presented the following re- port:
 WHEREAS, In this country of unlim- ited resources, mineral, agricultural and manufacturing. we find ourselves on the verge of financial ruin, and real izing that the class legislation by both of the old parties is the direct cause, we therefore adopt the following platform of principles. | We hereby reaffirm the principles enunciated in the Omaha platform adopted in 1892;
 Recognizing that water economy is the subject of overshadowing import ance to the people of the country, we therefore demand the government own ership and control of distribution of water in the arid regions. | We further demand so far as Arizona is concerned, that only reasonable rates be fixed for the price of water, sad water to be delivered by the measure ment known as miners measurement, no more water to be pald for than is actually delivered and that water com panies be prohibit from selling or disposing of water so as to deprive prior water users of a supply of water neces sary to irrigate in a proper manner the lands for which water has been so ap- propriated. and iG order to facilitate the proper distribution of water we recom- mend that provision be made for the election of officers, whose duty it shall be to supervise the supply of water and use and prevent waste. | We demand the immediate admission of Arizona into the union as state. i We demand that the question of equal suffrage without distinction of sex be submitted to vote of the people as soon ss practicable. l Inasmuch as the contraction of money in circulation has reduced dis astrously the price of all products, making It difficult to pay debts and taxes; public expenditures should also 1 be reduced by an economical admins tration of county affairs by the reduc ton of fees and salaries in the ratio of i the reduction in the price of pro- duce, so as to reduce taxation and re- 1 Iieve the taxpayer of all unnecessary burdens.
 The report originally contained the Omaha platform in full and 1t was read, but at the suggestion of Judge Woy the convention was content with endorsing it and emitting it from the local platform.
