| We consider that toc Republican ad
ministration of county affairs has been
costly without being effective. We
| pledge our candidates for supervisor 10
! call for bids on county work instead Of
giving contracts by the appointment of
favored recipients We pledge that,
they will not accept employment from
contractors to whom they have given
| contracts, and We demand that they
pay all county obligations in the sup
ervisors' office.
We further pledge our candidate for
the office Of district attorney 10 con.
duet the Office in person and not by
deputy and with no corporation, polti.
cal or personal bias.
| We encourage the investment of cap
ital in Yavapai county. We promise
all corporations equal rights with citi-
zcns, hut demand that they shall have
no special privileges. We instruct our
candidates for both houses of the Ter.
ritorial Legislature TO use all efforts To
enact measures controlling and rcgulat.
| ing mining and other corporations or
| ganizcd IN Arizona, To the end that the
| public be assured of the Legitimacy Of
| such corporations, their purposes, and
their methods. We further instruct
our candidates for both houses in the
| Legislature To- enact measures prevent
| ing cNorbitant or discriminating rail
road freight and passenger rates within
the Territory and compelling Arizona
| railroads 10 furnish sanitary aud eli
Gent services. We favor the establish.
mcnt ot q Territorial Railroad com
mission 10 furnish the public and bur
| public officers with reliable information
ON which to base sound regulation. We
also favor the retaliation of telephone.
telegraph and express rates throughout
ArzunH.
We favor the enactment of direct
primary law.
We favor the abolition Of the Ari
iona rangers aud demand that all po.
| lice matters bc left to the counties and
that Yavapai county appoint properly
compensated police officers in all dis
tricts requiring them.
| Though favoring the preservation of
our natural resources, u policy inaugur.
ntcd by u Democratic President, we
point out that the present administra-
tion of forest and mining regulation
| by Republican appointecs works hard
ship to legitimate industry, and we de
mand that the Forest Service be more
compctcntly administered, with more
attention to local needs and conditions.
We urge the reduction of the tax

county court house.
Good roads are pressing needs of
Iavapai county and of the whole Ter
ritory. We urge our candidates for the
! Legislature To do all in their power To
promote good roads throughout tae
| Territory. We commit our candidates
for supervisors 10 n policy of road ex
tension for the good of the whole com
! ~ and of building roads in n manner
To render them permanent, instead of
following the present wastcful policy
of building roads only To- have, them
wash out again. We recommend that
all roads bc laid out by the county sur
vcyor.
The Democratic party has ever been
! called the friend Of labor. II is res.
ponsiblc for the eight.hour law now
prevailing in Arizona. II stands firmly
against the abuse Of the court process
Of Injunction. and will do everything
possibly to discourage, curb and abolish
these abuses. We favor all measures
giving labor its due rights. and we are
opposed to the use of convict labor in
competition with free Iaborers.
We commend our principles and Our
candidates 20 all citizens OF Yavnpai
county.
