Arizona republican., 1910-07-14

thing is the constitution said Presi-
 dent GOmpers of the American Fed
 eration of Labor, today.
 MT. Gompers was discussing the action yesterday of representatives of
 trades unions of Arizona, who, after
 refusing to pledge support to candi- dates of any party who would not subscribe to the principles of organ ized labor, created the union labor party of Arizona, which will support candidates for election to a constitu- tional convention.
 "1 am more concerned,' said MT. Gompers, with the people of Arizona adopting a progressive constitution as the people of Oklahoma did, than at the creation of a new party or the support of any existing party"
 Last night the chairman of the con- vention, J. c. Provost, forwarded the following telegram to MT. Gompers:
 The labor party of Arizona extends its appeal for aid to the American Federation of Labor in this campaign for a working class constitution, re- gardless of the attitude of the feder- ation officials who still expect us to accept promises of those old line party politicians by whom labor has been repeatedly betrayed. Enlightened labor has gone into this campaign in it's own behalf and in its own in terest.''
 Yesterday there was organized an executive committee of the territorial committee, of which J. c. Provost was made chairman. Kenneth Clayton of Globe was made the secretary treasurer and placed under a bond of 5000, with instructions to open ter ritorial headquarters in Phoenix. Mr Clayton has left for Globe and will return in a few days for that pur- pose.
 In mapping out plans for the cam paign it was reported that the $l,500 subscribed the day before by one per son is now available. and the collec- tiOn of the $1,S0O made up of various subscriptions will be undertaken at once. The leaders believe they will have no difficulty in securing added sinewS of war to the extent of $50,00O. from various sources. The members of the territorial committee imme- diately on their return to their home counties will begin the work of coun- ty organization and the organizing of suffrage committees among the women
 The campaign of oratory is to be- gin at once. A. A. Worsley of Tucson has been designated to stump central Arizona, Joseph D. Cannon southern Arizona and E. H Liebel northern Arizona. In addition, the territorial committee will today send invitations to many well knov,1 labor leaders and to senators and congressman known to be affiliated with demo- cratic and republican insurgent move ments. It is their purpose to fill Arizona with the apostles of dissatis- fled factions. all mobilized under the banner of the labor party. Among those to be invited will be Senators Gore, owen and Bourne, Eugene V. Debs, w. T. Mills and Charles Edward Russell.
 But it will not all be oratory, for the printing press will be put at work Twenty-Five thousand copies of the declaration and platform of the party are now being printed, and the stated last night that by the end of this week it will have 100000 pieces of literature ready for the consumption of the Arizona voter. The declaration and platform is slightly revised edition of the prin- ciples published in yesterdays paper preceded by a formal introductory declaration.
