Hoha VIII oe notice to congress and ths country of the determined reiection oy the people of this territory of the Ioine state scheme, and in consequence or theSe facts, support of the demo. cratic nominee becomes a high patri. ooic duty. Arizona's protest cannot oe made by inaction, but only through ehe ballot box. The autonomy and in. tegr'ty of Arizona are assalled. They must be preserved. And our party, oeing solemnly pledged to sustain and support our just demands, and to pro. 'ect our Inherent rights, goes to the people of the territory with faith in their patriotism and in the wisdom of eheir action at the polls. Arizona must be admitted as separate state or remain territory.
 Irrigation Law Democratic Measure
 On December 9, 1900, Represen tative Shairoth (dem.) of Colorado, intro uuced bill "for the construction of reservoirs in the arid land states and for the disposal of public lands re. claimed thereby"
 On December r., Representative Newlands (dem.) of Nevada, introduc ed bill "foc the disposition and set clement of arid lands and for the con struction of reservoirs,' etc. Early In January, Representative Bell, (dem.) of Colorado, introduced spe. ciilc irrigation bill.
 Finally, on January 26, 1901, Mir. Newlands presented supplemental bill, the one which, with certain mod. lfications, was finally adopted in the last session of congress.
 Republican Opposition
 Throughout the long fight over the NewlaDds bill in both houses of con gress the most prominent republican leaders labored strenuouSly to de. feat it.
 Representative Moody, now a mem- Der of President R )oseyelJ's cabinet, said he "looked with grave apprehen- sion upon the plan to reclaim the arid lands of the vest"
 Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, the bill as "the most in- solent attempt at larceny have ever seen embodied in legislative propo- sition."
 General GroSvenor alluded to the bill as "a great moral wrong,"
 The final vote on the passage of the Newlands bill in the house settles the question of democratic leadership in pushing it through. Notwithstanding the large republican majority in the house, the republican affirmative vote was only 69, while the democratic vote for the bill was B. Only l3 dem ocrats voted against the measure, while 42 republican, negative votes were re- corded.
 The national irrigation measure owes its paternity and its enactment, to the democratic party. No attempt to pirate credit for it on the part of republican leaders can change the indubitable record of facts.
 Whereas, On irrigation the future agricultural development of Arizona depends, this convention deems the by the government of the San Carlos dam great necessity :; we instruct our delegate in congress to use every legitimate effort to obtain a proper appropriation for the same.

Taking Desperate Chances,

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without TAX
ing any precaution or treatment, and
a knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead Of giving
their colds their needed attention. 1t
should be borne In mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the
vitality. makes the system less able
to withstand each succeeding Geld and
paves the way for more serious dis
eases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamberlain's

colds, a be had for a trifle? For
