Arizona republican., 1902-10-22

the democratic candidate fer congress He was unwilling to elander the dem-
 ocratic members Of the United States
 senate; he would net assert that they
 would not vote for the admission of ;i republican territory. put he thought 1t would be a neat compliment to them
 for the territory to go democratic at
 the coming election.
 In describing the passage of the om-
 nibus statehood bill through the house
 of representatives he gave way for 2
 minute to his snake editorial instincts.
 Then it was that the overwhelming re-
 publican majority was opposed to the
 bill, but refrained from giving expres-
 sion to it's dissatisfaction with it when
 the time came to vote.
 It required an effort on the part of
 the orator who had hesitated at no
 snake story, however strange and pie
 turesque, to tell the audience that the election of a republican to congress would imperil the further progress of the bill. and he did not make the effort in. consequence of which neglect. Sam Uel Webb, the chairman of the terri torial democratic committee with diff culty concealed his disappointment.
 
 the labor question. He announced in the course of his discussion of this phase Of his address that he was not speaking upon any particular platform. by which he could only have meant the Tucson platform, for he could have been expected to speak on no other. He not only recognized the right of labor to organize for it's own protec- ..- ( h, f, sa1l classes that he should do so. Tn this belief Judge Barnes is on all fours with Senator Hanna and with all the republican orators who have taken the stump in Arizona. Nor did the speaker say at any time that the democratic party had anything to offer for the re- lief of the laboring man which the re- publican party was not offering.
 Judge Barnes handled the trust ques- tiOn in moderate manner. It was not his belief that the trust was the result of republican rule, but rather of an evolution. The trust had become an inevitable condition, a problem which was to be solved. He thought. without saying why he thought so that the democratic solution of it would De the best. He repuGiated free trade or any interference with the tariff arrange ments of the country, except for the repression of those trusts which had destroyed competition at home and had become oppressors of tine people. On this subject Judge Barnes recognized the beneficence of the protection theory and believed that the wall should be kept up wherever it would do any good.
 As to the management of the foreign possessions Cf the country the speaker said the republican party was doing the best it could. but he intimated that the democratic party by reason Of it's long experience in handling the affairs of state could do much better if it were given a chance.
 The general prosperity of the country was admitted by the speaker. But il could not fast forever, unless there was a political change. The democratic party had it was true not contributed to it in any way. but it had always been willing to do so and was debarreI only by opportunity. Now the time had come to give it the chance and prosperity would be perpetuatcd.
 The speech may be described as au argument in favor of an experiment 1 Things were very good, it is true. as they are, but nothing Is so good that IL might not be made better. Having his argument the judge felt 1t incumbent upon him to speak of the He knew both MT Morri ! son and Col. Wilson; both were honCra- ! 0Ie men and eitHa~ would be 9 credit to I the territory.

 The meeting was closed by George ourdy Bullard. who wrought himself ntn a state of excitement over the tatehcod question. Mir. Bullard was lead sure that the republican majority
