The unsurpassed herolsm of the army. and the unequalled vlcto ries of the navy, have sweled every American heart with pride and made unouench able the fires of patriotism on every American hearthstone. All the nations have been compelled to respect and honor us and acknOwl- edge our supremacy.
 The republican congress respond ed with enthusiasm born of love of country. to the call of the president for means with which to carry on the war. and all Europe viewed with respectful wonder the promptness with which apparently inexhausti- ble resources were placed at the dis posal of the government, when the nations honor seemed in the slight est degree imperiled. All this by a republican congress and republl- can administration.
 The republican party of Arizona endorses fully the legislation accom- phshed bv the national republican leaders. and congratulates the coun- try upon the effectiveness and wis dom of the revenue laws enacted by the ffty-ffth congress.
 We unbesitatingly support the judgment and discretion of the re- publican congress upon all ques- tions of financial legislation, believ- ing that whatever changes are neces- sarv for the welfare of the people can be best secured through repub- Ican efforts.
 We express our hearty and un- qualified approval of the anne1a- ton of Hawaii, and applaud with uDstiuted commendation the wis dom and ssgacity of the republican president and the republican state men who accomplished annexatl' against the Darrow, unT -''tlc Or position ot that Par SC un- American president !

 We favor the repeal of the forest reserve act.
 We favor the adoption of the principle of the initiative and the referendum in al matters concern ing the creation of public debt in territorial, county and municipal af- faiIs.
 Arizona IS justly proud of her mo- ble sons who with uneXampled bray erv led the soldiers of the nation at Siboney and Fl Caney, and sealed with the blood of immortal heroes the territorv's claims to the rights of self-gOvernment and ths highest honors of American manhood.
 The republican party of Arizona believes that wherever the Ameri- can flag has been raised over ac- quired territory, in advancing civi- Lzation and punishing the cruelties Of semi -barbarous governments there ij should remain. an emblem of enlightened government, protect ing commerce and serving notice upon al ChristendOm that wherever our flag floats over soil conquered by American heroIsm or made sa- cred 5v American blood.
