Bisbee daily review., 1902-09-24
lal republican platform adopted a Phoenix September 17. 1902.

Cleveland soup house one of the most important institutions in the country. In territorial affairs we pledge our legislative candidates to economical and beneficent legislation, and to equal and just taxation.
 In county affairs we pledge a wise and economical administration, and a reduction of taxation, in cognizance with the record of the last republican county administration.
 We arraign the present democratic administration of Cochise county for it's serious and inexcusable blunders. It has been extravagant in expendi- ture and lax in administration. It has not decreased the rate of taxa tion promised and failed to redeem territory bonds as provided by law. It has permitted jail deliveries, whereby there have escaped from custody prisoners who have been cap tured by rangers. and in a time of general prosperity and increase in population it has increased the debt of the county.
 To a correction of these evils we pledge our candidates and commend them to the suffrages of the people.
