that the measure had not been in the democratic platform, and the inference was that the party was not bound ct that time to the in- itiative and the referendum as 1t Is now. But he did not explain that under the whip and spur of the de- mocratic caucus there was solid
 democratic vote in that legislature for several measures that were notin the democratic platform, including abolition of the public examiner, abolition of the ranger force, etc. Had the initiative and referendum been a caucus measure the three recalcitrant democrats would have
 voted right.
 Mr. Duffy might have gone on and told how the democratic party in Colorado put the initiative and
 referendum in their platform in
 1908, how the democratic legisla-
 ture failed to make provision to
 adopt those two principles, and
 how the democratic governor of
 the state has called into special
 session the same legislature in an
 effort to enforce compliance with
 the democratic platform; and that
 up to the present writing his efforts
 have been futile-the democratic
 caucus in the senate will not let
 the measure come to vote.
 There were many other things
 Frank might have explained. For
 instance or why the last democratic
 legislature passed measure not in
 the democratic platform, which dis
 franchised a large nu nber of vot-
 CTS who cannot read and write
 English. And MT. Duffy voted for
 that measure. Some of the men
 80 disfranchised are citizens by
 virtue of the treaties of Guadalupe
 Hidalgo and the Gadsden pur-
 chase. In trying to disfranchise
 that element the measure goes
 against the Constitution of the United States, which provides that
 treaties with foreign nations are a part of the supreme law of the land. None of those things did Mir. Duffy mention. He might have told also that the dis franchisement measure was claimed by democrats to have been model r led upon the Maine constitution. He might have told also that the Arizona law stopped short of the Maine constitution in emitting one very important clause, which ex- empts from its operation those
 who had already possessed the } elective franchise and those who , are sixty years of age. There was no demand for such trick legisla- ton in the last democratic plat form; vet it was rammed through by the democratic caucus. and 3 Frank is on record as having voted for it.
 The next orator was Hon. Eugene , s. Ives of Tucson, who is 8 candi- date for delegate to the constitu. 7 tional convention from Pima coun- I ty. Mir. Ives is known far and wide as a very able lawyer-a cor . poration lawyer,-and he is usually l ready and able to speak entertain ! ingly upon any subject at any : time. But upon this occasion he i, was like a schoolboy on a Friday afternoon who had forgotten his 3 Reclamation. He confessed that s he had come to Nogales prepared with one line of talk. and that he

Sohs~ SAA NONhUJ' ~ Woo o "most amazing platform" MT. Ives confessed himself beat: he could not assail the platform on which Curtis stands, because Duffy stands on a very similar declara- ton of principles; he could not as- sail Curtis personally, because the gentleman stands above criticism and reproach upon any count; so all he could do was to ask people to vote against Curtis because he is 8 republican and for Duffy because the latter is a democrat. He paid a fine and we'll deserved tribute to MT. Duffy as man and as a law yer, having been associated with him in trial of many cases.
 With nothing to talk about with regard to constitution making MT. Ives said he would have to talk about national politics; so he pro- ceeded to excoriate the tariff. But he did not tell how the democratic party once framed tariff act-the Wilson bill. And he did not tell how the only democratic president who has been elected since 1856- Grover Cleveland-branded the same act as an infamous measure and let it become a law without affixing his signature. Cleveland would not let the act go into history with his approval; he would not veto 1t because it was a party measure; but in a special message to Congress he put himself on record as utterly disapproving the act. Neither did Mir. Ives explain how some of the schedules in the pre- sent tariff act were saved by demo- cratic votes in Congress. There were many little matters like that he could have mentioned, but didn't.
 Now the tariff has nothing to do with framing a constitution for Arizona, but even if it did, MT. Ives treatment of the topic was not frank and open as it might be. For instance he stated that the duty on furniture is 100% ad vaL- Orem. Inquiry at the custom house reveals that it is but 259d. MT. SteIzer, statistical clerk at the GUS. tom house, informs THE OASIS that not a single duty was quoted cor rectly by Mir. Ives.
 Then MT. Ives made a tremen- dous arraignment of the tariff upon meats and cattle. He quoted bacon at twenty cents per pound in BOs' ton and but ten cents in Liverpool beef twenty-five cents per pound in Boston, and but ten or twelve cents in London. Now then the duty on fresh meats coming into the United States is but one and one-half cents per pound, and upon cattle it is but 274Go advalorem, except where the animal is worth $14 or less in which case the duty is $3.7E per head; calves $2.00 per head Taken either way the duty on bee on the hoof is less than two cents per pound. Now where can Mr Ives lay to the difference in the prices of meat in Boston and Liver pool or London? Of course the trust absorbs the difference; bu
 where does that small duty play into the hands of the meat trus to the extent of ten to twelve cents per pound. MT. Ives might have found an illustration right here il . M00o lnc n nd ho mad not h xyo on np,

 Mexican money-per kilo. That is twenty cents gold. A kilo is two and one. fifth pounds. So pound of porter house steak costs in the. market in Nogales, Sonora, but eight cents, gold. Yet not half mile, from the market in Nogales, Sonora. in the meat market in Nogales, Arizona, those eminent trust mag mates, c. Marsteller and Otto Her old, exact twenty cents or more per pound for beef no better in quality and of no choicer cuts than what may be bought in Nogales, So- nora, for eight cents per pound. Something beside a duty of one and one half cents per pound on dressed meats and two cents per pound on beef on the hoof will have to be advanced to account for that remarkable discrepancy in prices. All this forces the refec- tion that Mir. Ives was not so care ful of his facts az he could have been.
 Judge w. A. O'Connor closed the evenings entertainment with an effusive display of elephantine face- tiousness over the republican plat form. Particularly severe was he over the fact that while making certain declaration the republican platform does not tie down it's can- didate with instructions te support the declarations of the platform when he is elected and takes his seat in the constitutional conven- tion. On the other hand said Judge O'Connor, Mir. Duffy is posi- lively instructed to stand for the, platform declarations in the consti- tutional convention. "Why," ex- claimed the speaker, in burst of enthusiasm, Il wouldn't think of sending Frank Duffy up to that constitutional convention without hogtying him." (But you see O'Connor knows Duffy better than the rest of us. He has been doing politics with Duffy a dozen years or so; and if anybody knows whether Duffy should be hogtied it is the self same w. A. O'Connor. Upon the other hand the republi- cans know Curtis, and they know they don't have to hogtie him).
 Judge O'Connor related a case in point with reference to direct legis- lation. At Casa Grande a man named Tomlinson was run over and killed by an s. P. train. His heirs sued for damages and collected - individually varying sums aggregating $5O,000. The supreme court of Arizona said, on appeal, that was good law. The very next legislature passed an act that in such cases the limit of damages should be $5,000. Now MT. O'Connor might have gone farther and told that it has been charged-and not denied up to the present writing,-that Hon. Eugene I s. Ives, who preceded him on the platform, then in the territorial council from Yuma county, was the father of that bill, and pushed it through to enactment. Of course MT. O'Connor did not mention that. He left it for THE OASIS to , mention.
