FIGHT TO KILL
ARIZONA ACT
Believed People viii Stand Be-
hind Reputation of Social
istic Mess Turned Out By
Phoenix Convention.

Phoenix. Ariz., Dec. 16,-With the
cali for the election to vote on the
constitution Of Arizona, issued by Act
ing Governor George U. Young, be-
gins one Of the %strangest battles the
republican party in Arizona has ever
waged. That the constitution is un-
popular Is the consensus Of opinion
Of a majority OF leading men of the
partv throughout the territory. They
say that the radical stand taken by
the democratic majority in the con-
vention with regard to the various
so-called "isms" which are socialistic
IN their tendencies are certain to
cause the people to overthrow the
constitution at the polls.
For years the republican party in
Arizona has been struggling for state
hood. For years Il democratic candi-
date was returned as delegate to con-
gress and nothing was obtained. Fin
ally the present occupant of that Of
flee, Ralph Cameron, appeared in the
political arena and guaranteed state
hood for the people or political re-
tirement Immediately and forever for
himself. He was elected and he
brought home the bacon.
What the Voters Did.
In view of this proof of it's power.
the republican party, through its lead
ers, thought that the people would
stand by 1t in the stress of the battle
Tor delegates 10 the constitutional
convention. The people had been
electing a democrat for almost two
decades without an interruption and
when they elected a republican to con-
gress they secured q statehood
bill during his first year
and then to the amazement
the old party, that had so often prom
ised in ain to secure statehood and
elected a majority of democratic AN
didates TO the convention.
These men carried into effect the
most soclalistic of all socialistic doc
trines by tearing down the one bull
wark of liberty the people possess the
power of the judiciary to dispense
even handed justice with eyes blind
to the passions of the momen and
ears open only for the truth Of the
auses presented.
1t is this feature alone which is re-
sponsible for the present republican
in Arizona concerning state
hood and the constitution, and it will
the leaders. be sufficient to over
the work of the constitutional
convention at the polls. Failing that,
President Taft has practically said
hat he win refuse to grant statehood
lpcn the terms submitted.
