Arizona republican., 1902-09-18

similarly deserving of compliments. The road was never too long nor the expense too heavy for them to come together for the good of the party. Two conventions which he had at tended had resulted in good to the party. The first had nominated Col Brodie, who though defeated had cut down the democratic majority by 2,O0O similar reduction of the democratic majority had been made by Governor Murphy, who was nominated by the convention two years ago.
 The chairman believed that the time
 was more suspicious than it was then. At that time the story of the prosperity
 Of the country had not penetrated among the rock-ribbed democrats as it
 has done since, and now he believed
 there were mere republicans in the ter ritory than there were then.
 The chairman alluded to another
 matter. He said few misguided re-
 publicans believed it would be better
 to allow the territory to go democratic this fall in the interest of statehood. The delegates received this information with groans and one delegate cried.
 We will not play that hand" The chairman continued that the hope of statehood rested largely upon republi- can success. It was quite certain that Oklahoma would be democratic, and in that event it would not be at all likely that even those republican senators who had favored the passage of the omnibus bill would continue to favor the admission of four more democratic senators and two democratic represen- tatives. It was plain that the senti- ment of the delegates was that any re- publican who would suggest the throw ling of the fight this fall should be thrown overheard.
 At the conclusion of the address of
 the chairman, which was received with great applause, W. s. Sturges of Pima nominated T. C. Job of Yavapai for temporary chairman. The nomination was seconded by both Yavapai and Maricopa and Mir. Job was nominated by exclamation. Ralph Sturges of Pima was made temporary secretary by the unanimous vote of the conven- tion and George T.. Young of Coconino was elected his assistant.
 Chairman Job expressed his gratifi- cation at having been chosen to pre- side over bod.- of territorial reDubli- cans, always an honor and in this case an especial one. The delegates, he said, represented not only the brawn of the territory, but it's brains, as repub- licans everywhere do.
 Allen T. Bird of Santa Cruz moved the constitution of committees on ere dentials, permanent organization and order of business and platform end res olutions by the appointment cf a Inem- Der from each county. While these ap- pointments were being made an invi- tation was offered by the convention 10 Governor BrOdie, former Governor Murphy and Chief Justice Kent so oc- cupy seats upon the stage. They were escorted thither and were received with applause amounting to an uproar. They each addressed the convention briefly assuring it of their confidence in re- publican success this fall. Chief Jus tice Kent said that this was his first visit to a republican convention in Ari- zona, but that republicans were the same everywhere, so that he felt at home. He was disposed to tlke an aC- tive part in the support of the repubIi- can nominee but his duCies were of that nature which precluded the rem dering of such assistance as Ee would desire to offer
 In the meantime the appointments 10 the committees had been made and the list was read The committees were.
