Arizona republican., 1904-11-10

dredS of thousands of honest demOcra 6 who, few months ago, favored the re- organization of the parry. These men now see that they must either go into the republican party or join with the democrats of the west and south into making the democratic party a posi- tive, aggressive and progressive re- form organization"
 The party must continue to protest against a large army, against a large navy, and to stand for the independ- ence of the FJlipinos, for imperialism adds menace to mflitarism. The cor rupting influence of SOnmercialism, ex- perience has shown, however righteous the Pa1ty's position on this subject. the issue does not arouse people as they can be warned by a question which touches them immediately and indie atfvely. The party must also maintain it's position on the tariff question. No answer has been made to the indict- neUt against high tariff, and vet here. too. the burden of the tariff system is concealed by the method in which taxes are collected. It cannot be made the sole issue in a campaign.
 The party must renew it's demand Tor an income tax, to be secured through a constitutional arnendneht. in order that wealth may be made to pay its share of the expense of government. Today We are collecting practically all Of our federal revenue from taxes upon consumption, and these bear heaviest upon the poor and lightest upon the rich.
 fIhe party must maintain its Losf- tion in favor of bimetallism. It can not surrender it's demand for the use of its gold and silver as the standard money of the country, but the q1;estfo7 must remain in abeyance until the con % dluons so change as to bring the p1Ib- ifc again face to face with falling prices and the rising dollar. This. therefore, cannot be made the controI- 1lhS issue of the contest upon which We are entering
 The trust question presents tba most acute phase of the contest be tween democracy and pIutocracy so far as economy issues are concerned. The president virtually admits that tba trusts contributed to his carnnaieD Iund, but denies that they received any promises of aid or immunity. NJ, well informed person dou5ts that the la--ge corporations have furnished the-re7,1,S,- Ecan campaign funds of 1896. 1900 and ISo@. and no one can make answer to Judge PaIker's arraignnent of true. tUil LI4DE-IOnS.
 The democratic party must make its attack upon the trusts so vehement that no one will suspect it of secret aid rom them. It will be to it's advantage IT it will begin the next campaign win an announcement th5t no trust contri- buttons will be accepted and then prove us sincerity by giving the public ac- cess to its contribution list
 Death to every private mononoIv must be the slogan of the party in this question. Any other position is a sur render We must continue our defane- es of the interests of wage earners We must protect them from the en- croachments of capital The party must continue its fight for the popular election of senators and for direct leg station where the principle can be aD- piled.
 Hope and duty point the way. To doubt the success of our cause is to doubt the triumph of the right for ours Is and must be the cause Of the mass es With malice toward none and charity for all, let Us begin the com paign of 1908. let us appeal to the moral sentiment of the country and arrafen the policies of the republican party be fore the bar of the public conscience"
