 tinuPd faith in an adhesion tO the tried
 and proved principles Of the Republican
 party, and pledge anew our loyalty 10 and support of that grand party which has
 made of the United States the greatest nation on earth and its citizens the frcest and happiest of people.

 We demand the immediate admission Of the Territory of Arizona to statehood and approve Of all honorable effort to that end
 We believe it to bp tho duty of tbe fed eral government to reclaim the arid lands ofour country and make Of them suitable places of abode for the huSbandman, and To that end we favor governmental con StrGction, ownership and control of all reservoirs and canal systems.
 We believe in adopting policy of steady Improvement or the roads and highways, and the promotion Of the internal welfare offhe county to the greatest possible ex- fpnt.
 We insist upon honesty. integrity, abili- ity and economy in fhe public service and the devotion by public servants Of their lime and ability to the promotion oi the public good; and to these our candidates stand committed.
 We cite the present high rate Of taxation and the steady increase or our county in- ucbtcdneSS, and that too while our tax 'tble wealth is steadily increasing, as a sample Of Democratic miSrule and an cvi- dPnce Of their unf1tneSs to administer the public affairs in the interest of the people.
 We believe that every class Of property should pay its just proportion of inc pub lic revenue. and to secure this end we &9- mand that our revenuc laws he so anenas ed as to prevent any class Of property feS- caping its share Of the public burdens
 We believe that the Creator Of all things intended that mans time should be so di- Nided that he might devote a portion thereof To labor, portion to the cultiva- uon or his mental, social and spiritual welfare, and portion 10 rest and reposc; we therefore favor the enactment of an eight hour labor law.
 Prompted by feelings of humanity and JuSice anu recognizing that law Of nature which makes of every man his brothers keeper, We demand the enactment of a law providing for the inspection and rcgu- lation. by skilled and honest public off celS, Of mines, boilers, machinery, and agencies dangerous to operate, to the end that the greatest possible safety may be guaranteed to laborerS whose lot it is 10 operate them, and the owners thereof pro- tected from useless litigation.
 We demand the enactment Of such primary election laws, based upon the principle of our present general election laws, as will guarantee 10 the voters the greatest possible immunity from ring or boss rule and secure to them frcer voice m The selection Of party candidates than they now have.
 To these principles we stand committed To them we pledge our united and indi- ridual support; and we submit them to the fair and impartial judgment of an in- telligent people whose voice but proclaimS the will of the land, and upon whom rests the precious duty of guarding well and perpetuating the ideals beQueathed to us by the patriot fathers of our country.
