 The layman would naturally underi stand from the above broad declara- tion that the Republican party in Ari, zona applauded every act of their par ty in the last, Congress. There is no exception made in the sweeping Gecla- ration.
 ' One of the acts of the last Republi; can congress, as every Arizonan is welt aware, was the passage of the joint statehood bill through the Lower Every. Republican voted. for she -bili., it was a caucus measure, and was oput through andefa the whip, by, Speaker Cannon. But after endors- ing every act of National legislation, we9 find! this Iitsleziuke inserted almost ac the,sHd of akss cannfngfy' prepared 66cpneuta aEOiQ5 ".oT@-I < 1.
