Bisbee daily review., 1902-10-11

3o uemOCfdtlC party Ol AriLouo iL convention assembled, reafirm oul allegiance to the principles of the na tional democratic party, as set forth in the national democratic platform of Kansas City in 1900.
 Second-We believe in free discus sion, freedom of speech, freedom of E-e press. and equal rights to all special privileges to none; and of the universal equality of all men before the law.
 Third-We believe in the superior ity of the civil power of government over military, and in the preserva- ton of the constitutional liberty wher- ever the American flag floats.
 Fourth--We are opposed to the per nsnent policy of the republican par ty, in the maintenance Of dependent coloniees outside the pale of the Amer ican constitution, because such policy, is. in deed if not in name, imperialism pure and simple; and imperialism means government without consent, means government by force, all of which is directly opposed to the let ter and spirit of the Declaration of American Independence, ad the Amer ican constitution.
 Fifth-We are in favor of peace, commerce and friendship with all na- tions, and entangling alliances with none
 Sixth-We condemn both the legis- lative and administrative policies of the republican party, which have ere ated dangerous combinations of the capitalized corporate monopolies: have stiHed competition and have largely enhanced the prices of he necessities of life. We are in favor, therefore, of free trade in all articles made snd controlled by trusts, and Of such oth- CT legislation as shall destroy the dan kerous tendencies of the same.
 Seventh-We, recognizing the dig nity of labor, demand and pledge the democracy of Arizona and it's repre- sentatives in the legislative assembly to the enactment of the following laws;
 1. To the enactment of law pre- scribing eight hours as lawful day of labor.
 2. To the enactment of law creat- ing the office of mine inspector, with power in the incumbent to enter and inspect all mines in this territory in the course of development and opera tion, to the end that underground miners may be more safely protected from danger, and mine owners from useless litigation.
 3. The enactment of a law creat- ing the office of boiler inspector, with power in the incumbent to inspect all stationery boilers.
 4. To the enactment of an equit- able freight and fare bill, providing . maximum rate of railroad charges, to be placed on the products of the country, to the end that the producer shall have left in his hands some of the profits of his product, as reward for his labor.
 s. The enactment of an equitable license law, for the regulation of rail. road taxation, prescribing amount o1 tax per mile, to be paid on each mile of road in said territory, similar to the act of congress, fixing a mileage rate of taxation for the Santa Fe Pacific in this territory, to the end that rail road companies operating railroads 1T this territory shall carry their DOT tons of the public burdens and there by relieve the people from further carrying the same for them, and tha said companies may not be disturbed h0o rIo {r anf lowering taxes to be paid by such com panies.
 6. To the enactment of an anti blacklist law. prohibiting the black listing of discharged employees by em polyers, for the purpose of preventin, such employees from obtaining employ ment in other sections.
 2. We favor the amendment of al laws placing large perquisites in tn hands of government officials in thi territory, and demand that all of sucl prerequisites shall be covered into tn treasury, and fixed salaries creates for all territorial ppointees and cleri cal forces, as may be necessarily re ouired for the effective administrator of the government affairs pertaining to each department of the same.
 8. We appeal to the senate of tn United States to pass the omnibu statehood bill, now pending before il for the admission of the territories o Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma into the union of states, to the en' that all pledges of all national polii ical parties. made so]emnly in thei political platforms, on the subject may be redeemed, and the peopl clothed with power to organize them selves into sovereign states. to whicl they are, under our American consti tuition, SO clearly and justly entitled
