OuE own way nOWS we ueNSE "ili Do uOAo
 Let us again ask Congress to admit us to the Union when 10 again oonvenes
 and keep asking till we are a sovereign State and our citizens enjoy the rights and privileges of American freemen
 IS is an old story. Arizona has beer
 knocking et the doors of the Union fo!
 ten long years, and not without success l We are nearer admission Eow than at any other moment in our existence from the fact that our own people have | finally become aware of the necessity
 vinosd that we are amply able to man 1 age our own affairs It will bs but ( minor matter to convince Congress when we ourselves are unit on She subject. There is DO part of the Union
 more fit to control itself than Arizona; there is no part of the Union more I loyal to good government than Arizona;
 there is 10 part of the Union that pre- serves the peace and security Of the citizens more fully than does Arizona, Territory though she be; there is nc part of the Union more contemplating, CT
 moro rapidly developing in 8 material
 way than Arizona; there is no part ol
 hn hnf nj
 portion of splendid citizenship as does
 this Territory. The proof Of these
 things can be produced. Again we are
 at the doors of the Uaion asking for our
 right; asking that the humilisting
 chains of political eervitude be stricken
 from ouF limbs. We will not retire till our day of deliversnce comes
