Bisbee daily review., 1906-09-07

ldEu Ol bnt ApdCueS, IFOm the lduu of the Nayajos. from the country of the Coconino and the San Francisco Mountains, over on to the confines of California into the land of the Mo hayes where they are, and coming down to our grand old county, Yava- | pal. that they are all in favor of Ari- zcna, and I want to say that so far [ a.; the North is concerned that the | North will, with a trumpet sound, com i ing from our mountain ranges and re scunding through the atmosphere of | the pine and fir, that the trumpet sound will tell you election day thaa | the people of Arizona want this terri tory for our own and no one else. | tAppiause.)
 T believe on behalf of Southern Ari- zoIa, we go to the land of the Sait | River, we go to the land where our ag. icultural resources have been de yeloped in such a splendid way, we go down into Yuma county, where we find they produce the finest grapes in the world, and other kinds of fruit, and we go from there into Pima coun- ty a land which is certainly the old est in Arizona so far as residence is concerned, we go to the Ancient Pueb- | To, as we call it. and we find that in
 this convention the Republican party
 is represented by an undivided delega-
 ton. (Applause.)
 We go into the mountains of Pinal,
 and there the sound comes for no
 iointure; Arizona for her own people.
 Down here in Cochise, right here
 where we have been entertained in such a splendid manner, and where the
 hospitality of the residents of Bisbee has been shown to us, even to the eX. tent of the handsome ladies of this town coming out (applause)-no dis
 sention there; there is no division
 there. We know that on election day why. I don't believe that you could find joint statehood man if we hunt ed the county with fine tooth comb ttApplause.)
 "So it is with Graham, and so it is with Giia county-every place in the
 Territory of Arizona as represented ir
 this convention. We know that the
 sentiment of Arizona for Arizonans, is strong and powerful, and It will be , come greater as the time comes or when we must vote upon that ques tion. and it will become so strong ant overpowering that the answer will re sound all the way to Washington
 
 upon this subject--that Arizona is fol Arizonans. (Applause.)
 Tt will be unnecessary for me tc , refer to any other subject. I dc , wish to say that I believe the admin , istration we have had in this Territo ry of Arizona since the time wher
 the last convention met under Col Brodie (applause), afterwards under T 1 | ha rraan nf hai
 splendid jurist and statesman, Gov , (applause)-I say, that the Territory of Arizona has been blessed |, in both of those administrations, and , that tonight we find me Territory o ? Arizona, as I said a moment ago, be |. cause of the splendid way in which the . government has been conducted dur ing the last three or four years. We are glad we live here We are glad that we have our homes here. We are delighted to know that we have
 in this Territory the best people or earth, gathered from all parts of ths earth (applause), and that we vii !. make state out of this Territory by .. Yourselves, for ourselves, in the proper | time. and until that times comes vt : are perfectly willing to have no stal upon the blue field of the American , flag. (Applause.l There is a place !, for New Mexico, for her star, up here and there Is place for the star oi
 Arizona over here next to the white 2 and the red in the stripes of the Amer , Iican flag. (Applause.)
 We will now, with your kind per
 nilsson, proceed to the order of busi
 ness.
 The next order of business will b. I the reading and adoption of the repor . lof the committee on resolutions to bs ' Tread and adopted"
