Arizona republican., 1905-04-15

every system adopted for the protec- | tion and betterment of our city has
 been inaugurated under the different republican administrations of the past. | We especially approve the action 1 taken by the city administration in 1 doing everything in it's power to fur
 ther municipal ownership of water | works and we recommend that the present suit against the city be wig orously contested to a successful ter
 imitation with the least possible de- | lay.
 | We approve the recent action talk
 en by the council in refusing to ap- point a large number of useless reg
 istration officers. thereby preventing 1 fraudulent registration.
 | We believe that a system of street l improvement and drainage should be l immediately inaugurated that will pro- vide the city with first class streets
 and improve sanitary conditions. We believe in equipping and main taining a fire department that will be
 a credit to the city and will afford
 complete protection.
 We pledge our candidates if elected i to give the city an economical pro- | gressive and business like adminfstra- 1 tion of its affairs, enacting such laws as will protect the youth of our city | and prevent the sale of intoxicating 1 liquors to habitual drunkards. | We pledge our candidates if elected i to pass such ordinances as will in a practical and reasonable way increase 1 the revenue of the city.
 The platform was enthusiastically
 adopted and then the principal business | for which the convention had been call | ed was taken up, the nomination of a | ticket. Lloyd B. Christy nominated J. l C.. Adams for mayor; the nomination
 was seconded by T. J. Prescott in an eIo- | quent speech in which he directed at | tentiOn to the flattering record of MT.
 Adams which had been greatly increas- l ed within the last thirty days as a ! worker for the city and the county. A I motion to make the nomination of MT. i Adams unanimous prevailed with a
 shout. MT. Adams was called to the
 platform where he made a ringing
 speech directing attention to the demo- 1 cratic ruses for getting into power
 which had always been disastrous to
 the city.
 J. A. Marshall nominated Frank
 Thomas for recorder and with the
 same enthusiasm he was put on the
 ticket by exclamation. In the same i way the nominations of the other can ! didates were effected and the Conven- tion temporarily disbanded for the pur- pose of allowing the First and Third
 wards to choose their candidates for councilmen and to permit all the wards ! to select their members of the city ] central committee.
 The delegation from the first ward 1 shortly reported the nomination Ot 1 Barney Kersting for the council and the third ward delegation presented the 1 name of F. B. Moss. Both nominations | were ratified and after the announce ment of the names of the central com
 mittee the convention adjourned.
