The Platform.

INC
The following platform was adopted
by the convention:
We, the representatives Of the Dem
ocratic, Peoples and Silver Republican
parties of tine state OF Washington, as.
sembled in joint convention this goth
day of August, 1900, respectively re-
affirm our faith in the principles
enunciated by our respective national
conventions; and we pledge our earnest
support to the peerless representatives
of the people, William jennings Bryan
and Adlai e. Stevenson.
We still believe in the Declaration
OF Independence, and therefore hold 1t
aloft in preference to the imperialistic
policy OF the Republican party.
We oppose trusts and combinations
which corner the products of industry
and levy tribute on the people.
We denounce these twin relics of
barbarism-imperialism and militar-
whether in the form OF trusts al
home or greed OF conquest abroad.
We pledge our representatives in
congress to work for the passage of 9
measure providing payment for the time
consumed by our state volunteers in
the late war with Spain.
We favor just and liberal pensions
to the true and faithful soldiers Of the
United States, including the gallant
| Indian war veterans.
We demand such legislation as will
insure to the farmers and producers ol
the state of Washington reduction OF
freight rates aud fares to just basis.
We demand the inauguration o|
such measures as shall give the people
the right to express themselves, when
they SO elect, upon all important ques-
tions, by the system known as direct
legislation.
We commend the official conduct o
all our state officers, and call attention
to the contrast between the present ex.
celIent financial condition OF the state
and the blight and ruin prophesied by
the opposition to surely result from the
election of our state officers.
We commend the wise, courageoui
and patriotic manner in which the Hon
George Turner, our represen tative ii
the United States senate. has defendef
the honor of his country and fulfilled
his duty to the people OF the state o
Washington.

THE REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATES.
Excellent Nominations Made by the Grand
 Old Party.

The fact that every Republican is supporting the entire ticket is evil dence that it is one of the best ever placed in the field by the party. No fault can be found with single nomi- nee, and this is another evidence that the ticket in it's entirety will be elected. Every nominee is honest. capable and fully qualified to fill the place for which he was nominated.
 In their choice for their candidate for member of the territorial council the Republicans made most excellent selection. M ]. Rordan is native of Illinois, and came to Arizona on ac- a,nnt of failing health twelve years ago. For number of years he has been connected with the Arizona Lum- Der X Timber Company in an official capacity. During his residence here he has taken lively interest in all things toward the progress and devel Opment of the town, county and terri tory. His election to the council would be to the interest of ever! citizen of COcOnino county. He is man of ability and thoroughly familiar with the needs of the county.
 F. R. Nellis. who is lhe nominee for the territorial assembly, is a native of New York and has been resident of Williams since the advent of the rail road. He is one of the progressive citizens of that town and has done much for the upbuilding of that pro- gressive city. He has served in the territorial council and his influence

was felt for the good of COcOninO county. He also served the county as member of the board of supervisors, and in all his public life he has been faithful official and the people of Coconino have unlimited faith in Ferd R. Nellis.
 N. G. Layton has already served three terms as probate judge, and is highly esteemed by attorneys and the public, regardless of politics, for his ability and integrity. He is also ex- officio superintendent of public schools, and in that capacity he has taken great interest in our schools, and to his en- ergy in this direction is largely due the efficiency of the public schools throughout Coconino county. Judge Layton is native of Indiana, was edu- cated in the public schools of that state and for time followed teaching. He came to Flagstaff when the town was in it's infancy and has identified

 For the important office of district attorney the Republicans chose Frank lin B. DOrr of Williams, d young man of more than ordinary legal ability. Mr. DOrr was born in Wisconsin, where he attended the public schools, graduating from the University of Wisconsin and later from the law de- partment of Harvard University. He went to Iowa, where he practiced law for two years, coming to Arizona two years ago, when he engaged in mining in Yuma and Yavapal counties, where he and his associates spent small fortune in mining.

THE ECCENTRICITY OF RooSE'
NEIT

From the Chicago Tribune: Charles
A, Towne of Duluth, Mimi, who has
been posing for several months as a
martyr to the sacred cause Of free sill
yer. has just answered" the speech OF
Governor Roosevelt, delivered before
the national convention of the League
of Republican Clubs at st. Paul.
The climax and keynote OF Mr..
Towne's speech is the charge that
Theodore Roosevelt is eccentric. That
their Vice Presidential candidate is
even a "predestined and incorrigible
eccentric" when viewed from the
standpoint of the average politician, is
a statement to which Republicans will
take no exception.
In the first place, Governor Roose-
welt is eccentric, from the politicians
standpoint, in the absolute fearlassness
in which he expresses his views OF
public questions. He is eccentric 10
the dogged persistency with which he
sticks to the right in disputed ques:
tions, overruling in so doing the
threats and entreaties of self-seekine
politicians. He is eccentric in making
principle his guide in practical politics
He is eccentric in allowing his patriot
ic feelings to carry him further than
mere speech making. 1t was an ex
tremely eccentric thing. as a politician
looks at it, for a public man to risk
his precious life in leading a charge
up San Juan Hill. 1t may as well be
admitted that the public career OF
Governor Roosevelt is a perfect tangle
OF eccentricities which "Dick" Croke.
and other great Democratic statesmen
will never be able to understand. They
may as we'll give it up.
1t is believed, however, that the
great majority of the American people
are quicker to understand and appre
ciate the particular form of ~eceentricl-
ty for which Governor Roosevelt is
distinguished. They know that ii Their
was more eccentricity of the same kind
on the part of public men there wouic
be less corruption in public office and 2
constant Improvement in the public
service. They know that the eceen-
tricity which leads a man to place thf
welfare of the country higher than his
own personal interests is a rare en
ough thing in contemporary politics &c
deserve recognition and encourage
ment.

ROOSEVELT DOES THINGS.

Mr.. Roosevelt practices his own doc
trine of the strenuous life. Though
only AZ years of age he has served sew
eral terms in the New York legislature
has been a ranchman in the west, has
given some years to the police COM
mission and civil service of New York
city, has been assistant secretary of
the navy, a leader of the Rough Rid
ers in Cuha and governor OF his native
state.
From these varied and exacting du-
ties he has snatched time for as much
literary work as would ordinarily fall
to the credit OF a professional author.
Fourteen solid volumes from his pen
have been published, and be is now en-
gagged on a Life of Cromwell" which
is appearing as a serial in the Century
magazine. He has also written books
in collaboration with Henry Cabot
Lodge and others. His great work thus
far is THE Winning of the West"

ROOSEVELT AS A POLITICIAN.

From the Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.) 4:
Roosevelt is by nature a fighter. He
has all the stubborn tenacity that was
inherited with his Dutch blood, coupled
with an almost Celtic Willingness to
combat anyone OF anything, anyhow Or
anywhere he deems proper and neceS-
sary. Nevertheless, there is always
purpose in his action. Nor a it be
said that selfshness has had a promin-
ent part in his impulses. When he
fought against two parties to push
through the bills giving Comptroller
Coler of New York city the right to
pass upon prices paid by departments
for goods purchased and supervision in
the confession of judgments the lead
ers of his party came TO him and said:
Governor, you are building up a
powerful rival for you next fall"
maybe So" he said, "but he is right,
and he is going to have those bills II
I can get them through for him." And
he got them through. Again, two oil
his best friends in the legislature,
Speaker Nixon and Leader Aids, came
to him and begged him not TO force
through the canal appropriation bill.
ut is suicide to do it" they pleaded,
'for il will lose votes for you among
the farmers and in the districts that
elected you. 1t is ~ungrateful and ex-
tremely bad politics"
The governor appreciated their argu-
ment and did not say they were wrong
in presenting it. He simply shook MS
head and said: You are right, but
this Is a case where the few must give
way for the benefit of the many IL
must go through" And It went
through.

THE pRocaEssrvEs VICTORIOUS.
The Chamber of Commerce Decides
to Move.

Minneapolis, Sept. 16. - The Mime .
apolis chamber OF commerce yes
terday decided by a very pronounced
vote TO erect a new building, and the
''progressives'' III that body are corre-
spondingly happy. The chamber voted on
two propositions. One contemplated the
purchase of a building site Mt Fourth
avenue south and Fourth street, Eeing
the vacant property adjoining the pres
ent building. The second proposition was
made by Deering, the Chicago implement
man, who proposed TO erect a suitaeie
home for the bulls and bears at second
avenue south and Fourth street.
The first named proposition got ~
votes and the Deering proposition 162.
The extreme conservative element cast
81 votes. These latter we're against a
doning the present quar:e-s, al least Tor
the present.
This action doubtless means that the
chamber will proceed with the new Eu'id-
ing.
