REPUBLICAN
PRINCIPLES.
The Platforms Upon Which the
Party Depends fer Political
Supremacy.
TERRITORIAL PLATFORM.

I 1.-The republican party OF Arizona in
convention assembled this 18th day of
/ September, 1902, hereby reafiirm and
endorse the national republican plat
form adopted by the national conven-
tion at Philadelphia in 1900, and al St.
/ Louis in 1896.
I'VE call attention to the complete
and unparalleled success Of republican
policies adopted and conducted under
the provisions of those platforms, by
enactment of wise and iudicious laws
by republican congress, and their
enforcement by republican admins
tration.
ave call atGN>F. % the glorious
triumphs o. those y5.4ar'AI0ns in
the fields of war and diplomacy.
I'VE are proud Of the ad ministration
of William Mckinley, which marks in
the history OF our country an epoch as
great and far-reach ing as that of the
first great republicI president-Abra-
ham Lincoln.
eve rejoice that when Divine Wis
dom, in its infinite mercy called hence
our third martyred president, the re-
publican party had given in Theodore
Roosevelt great and worthy sue
cessOr.
ave endorse all territorial admins
trations provided for Arizona by Presi-
dents Mckinley and Roosevelt and
,.,, ~, than N tho npnDla
1--WE congratulate the people OF Ari-
zona upon the brilliant prospect for
statehood, and we maintain that the
political complexion of the territory
should have nothing to do with our
claims for admission.
I'VE hold that the trusts..are not due
to the tariff, but they are due to loose
corporation laws, adopted by demo
cratic commonwealths, under which
laws creating great and pernicious
combinations of capital are greatly ia
cilitated.
I'VE congratulate the people of Ari-
zona upon the adoption by a republi-
can congress, at the recommendation
of republican president, OF wise
and beneficent system of water stor-
age.
"All labor has the right to and it is
we'll that tshould organize to the end
that the relations between the en-
ployes and the, erpaoysr shall he of the
closest mutual interest.
1--WE pledge the republican party to
the enactment of such just and equit-
able legislation as will tend to the best
interests and well being of labor.
1--WE are in favor of notifications of
the present laws in reference to the
taxation OF mines and the output
thereof, and we pledge our party to
conservative and beneficial legislation
in reference to the same.
1--WE congratulate our sister republic
OF Mexico upon the ninety-second an
niversary of national independence
now in course of celebration.
1--WE favor the exclusion OF Chinese
and all alien labor.
1.-The foregoing declaration of prin-
ciples are commended TO the consider
alton of the people of Arizona with
confidence in their opposition to the
present situation, and their efficacy in
aDplicatiOn."

FRANK J. GARRETT.

The convention selected vigorous,
reliable and successful young business
man as its candidate for county treas
urer in the person OF Frank J. Garrett,
OF Morenci. Mr.. Garrett has lived in
the county for four years and has been
continuously in the employ of the D..
sible position at the head of the gro
cery department in the company's fine
store. He is splendidly qualified to
discharge the duties Of the Office, to
which, il elected, he would devote his
entire attention. 1t is certain that
under his charge the county's finances
would be carefully guarded and faith
fully ad dministered.

DAN WILLIAMSON.

The Office OF sheriff of Graham cOun-
ty does not commend itself especial
~ to a weakling or man fond OF ease.
L requires an individual possessing a
strength OF purpose and a high orde r
OF courage and withal one who can
endure hardships to the limit. The
republicans found such a man for their
candidate in the person OF Daniel
Williamson, agent for the Gila Valley,
Globe x Northern Ry. at Stafford. Mr..
Williamson has been long in the west
and his knowledge OF conditions of the
country and requirements o. the Office
are second to that of no man. As
sheriff OF Gila county, he developed a
high order OF constabulary ability and
inspired a respect and obedience to the
laws meyer known before in that coun-
ty. He has courage and determine
tiop but not rashness. The duties of the
Office include large financial operations
which would be greatly benefited by
close attention from business man.
Under the direction OF Dan William
son, every cent accruing to the sher.
IFS Office would be accounted for, the
expense would be kept at the minimum
figure and every lawbreaker would be
brought before the bar of justice if ii
we're within the range of human pow
or to accomplish that end.

concerning the wisdom OF retaining

JOHN NASH.

The present county surveyor, John
Nash, OF Thatcher, is a candidate for
reelection. Mr.. Nash discharged the
duties of his Office with care and satis-
faction to all concerned doing his pres
ent term and is entitled to reelection
and will doubtless be so honored.

AE. NELSON.
Mr.. \. E. Nelson, OF Solomonville,
is the party candidate for probate
Judge. Mr.. Nelson is a lawyer and ex-
pert accountant. Before coming to
Arizona he was president of the Nell
son Commercial College, OF Memphis,
Tenn, an institution OF high standing
through the south. In Arizona he has
occupied various positions OF trust,
acting as receiver and later manager
OF the San Juan mines in the Lone
Star district. He has handled many
thousands OF dollars of other peoples
money, and has accounted for every
penny OF it. AS the representative OF
John Greenough, the New York capi-
talist, he expended large sums OF
money without any bond or guarantee
being required. Perhaps no man in
Graham county would bring to the Of
fee OF probate judge a better equip
ment than Mr.. Nelson and it is abso-
lutely certain that the interests of no
minor or helpless person would suffer
as long as he was in charge of the az
fairs of the office.
JAMES A. HOGAN.
The nomination for county school SUI
perintendent, Mr.. James a. Hogan.
principal of the public schools at Mo-
renci, was an especially fortunate
one. Mr.. Hogan is splendidly fitted
for tho position. He is graduate OF
the Kansas Normal School OF Fort
Scott, Kansas, later took post graduate
work in the Kansas State Normal
school, and afterwards university
course at Drake University, Des MoInes
Iowa. He taught for five years in the
school OF Kansas, coming to Arizona
two years ago to take the principal
ship of the SolomOnville schools, and
after remaining there for two terms
went to Morenci at the beginning OF
the present term. His work at Solo
knoxville gave the utmost satisfaction.
He is teacher fully abreast OF the
times and familiar with the modern
methods OF instruction, and his sue
cession to the office OF superin tendent
would insure steady progress OF the
public schools toward a higher plain
of educational excellence. Mr.. Hogan
is engaged in teaching as life work
and has no interests or occupation
aside from it. The ERA cOmmends
his candidacy to the thoughtful con-
sideration OF parents and all interested
in education, a subject OF vital i'm
portance to parents. That Mr.. Hogan
would serve the schools we'll and
faithfully, and to the advantage OF all
concerned, cannot be doubted.

Der OF the board OF supervisors. Mr..
Pitt, although very much alive, has
many monuments testitying to his in
dustry and skill. A large majority Of
the fine buildings Of Clifton and Mo-
renci were built under his supervision.
For number Of years he has carried
on a large business in the erection Of
buildings, the manufacture OF brick
and the conduct of fine ranch on the
upper ella. In these various indus
tries he has given employment to a
considerable number OF men and has
added much to the industrial life Of
this section. Mr.. Pitt would bring to
the office OF supervisor the experience
Of successful man OF affairs and use
his utmost endeavor to have the busi-
ness ofthe )unty so conducted that the
burden of taxation would be as light
as possible.

LEE n. STRATTON.

The republican candidate for district
attorney is Lee n. StrattOn, present in
cumbent OF that important Office. Two
years ago Mr.. Strattcn was nominated
against Wiley +. Jones, who was con-
sdered absolutely invincible. He
made surprising campaign and de-
feated Mr.. Jones by safe majority.
Mr.. Stratton's record as an officer has
been excellent. He gives his exclus-
i've attention to his duties, is always to
he found at his office, except when
called away on official business, and
has proved vigorous and successful
prosecutor OF criminals. Mr.. Stratton
couples with his knowledge and skill
as a lawyer, the dignity and bearing
OF gentleman of education and re-
iinement. He has amply proved his
iitnes and ability TO discharge the du-
ties OF the office and is honestly and
fairly entitled to another term. He is
now engaged in prosecuting a large
number OF law breakers before the
district court, aud the voters should
rally to his aid and give hearty sup
port to man who is doing his full
duty.

Let not republicans be caught nap
ping. In advance of the. candidates
OF that party being placed in the
field, we trust they will refrain from
making promises otsupport to office
seekers of the opposite faith. Office
holders who are out for renomina-
tion. have the advantage of trying
to get republicans to pledge them
support, or, failing in this, to pledge
them to a policy of neutrality. Such
tactics may be construed into an
admission of weakness, but neverthe-
less we hope the republicans of

party duty to do-from unseemly

the jury adding to the verdict of
guilty recommendation of the de-
f1ndant to the mercy of the court-a
very proper and pertinent recon-
mendation under the circumstances.
Still Notwithstanding this, the i'm
preston has been sown broadcast,
not only in this county, but more
particularly in the county of San
Joaquin, where the defendant for
merly lived, that the criminal brand
had been placed upon him before,
and the circulation. otthis damaging,
although false report, can never be
obliterated from the public mind.
The danger of dragging in outside
matters into a criminal trial, could

AN INJUSTICE.

Neil Macouarrie, formerly an at
torney of this city, but more re-
Gently of Jackson, was con cted In
Jackson Thursday of issri-g a ic-
titious check The penal is i'm
prisonment for not less Than one
year nor more than fourteen years.
A prior conviction in San Francisco
was proven against him. m.-Stockton
Independent.
In all three of the daily papers of
Stockton we find an item of the
above import, stating in addition to
the conviction of Macquarrie on the
main charge of uttering a bogus
check, that the charge of prior con-
viction was proven against him.
How this false report came to be
published in the papers of that city
we do not know. In all probabili v,
this conclusion was jumped at be-
cause the charges of prior convic-
tion having been made in the infor-
nation, it was assumed that such a
course would never have been taken
had the prosecution not been able to
establish the truth of these side
charges. But the fact remains, the
prior conviction charges were dis
proven, and the jury so found in
their verdict. 1t was established by
Documentary evidence that the con-
Yictions of petty larceny in the San
Francisco police court were annuled
and set aside on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in the superior court. The
only object of pleading these prior
convictions was to force the court to
impose the extreme penalty for the
main charge. His acquittal on these
charges, and the injustice done the

THE Sacramento Bee has devoted
much space lately to an expose of
alleged fraudulent entry of timber
lands in the Sacramento land Office.
There has been a great boom in the
entry of timber lands. More land
has been taken up under the home
stead and other land acts during the
past few months than during several
years previously. 1t has been un-
earthed by the efforts of the Bee
that this land gobbling is the result
of conspiracy, on the part of
capitalists to secure large tracts of
timber by means of dummy entry
men. That is to say, unscrupulous
men are paid for making the requir-
ed affidaVits, without any intention
of complying with the requirements
OF law as regards residence, and cul-
tivation. These bogus filings would
withdraw the lands from the market
for period of at least six months.
Silas Penny, formerly register of
the land Office, and now an attorney
for land claimants, is mentioned as
being the attorney IN these cases,
and the office of W. A. Newcum, the
receiver, as having been the place
where the papers were prepared.
