CITIZENS OF DOUGLAS ORGANIZE
 FUR THE MASS MEETING

the use of the park on that occasion
 The rule applicable to this is that
 the park is not to be used for pollu-
 cal purposes. hut as the proposed
 meeting is to be non-partisan af fair 1t is believed the consent of the city dads can be obtained.
 When the meeting of constitution
 builders was called to order in the
 Rathskeilar of the Gadsden last night and the work of selecting officers
 was undertaken there was at once 8
 sidestepping of nominated candidates
 with bouquets of oratory handed one
 to another. c. A Taylor was first
 mentioned for chairman. but grace
 fully handed the honor along to At
 torney wright Then A. F. Parsons
 nominated w P. McNair for secre- tary and had the honor handed back to him over the shoulders of Mir. Fay. Tor and still further passed it on to D. A. O'DOnovan Thus a temporary organization was effected which was almost immediately made permanent. The meeting was then ready to get down to business. IL was at once seen that there were two factions. one favoring going slow and the oth- CT quick results. since the time of primaries is close at hand. On this subject there were speeches by Fay Tor. Parsons. Purdon. Marshall. Nc. Nair and Benshimol and finally feel ing crystallized toward making haste rapidly instead of slowly.
 little later there was again di- vision of sentiment on the subject of what the first discussion should be upon. c. A. Taylor moved that the initiative. referendum and recall be discussed on the first occasion of a mass meeting. This brought Char. lie Purdon to his feet. expostulating Other speeches were made by Fay Tor, Lockwood. Parsons and Mar shall favoring this subject and Pur. don. Beushimol and McNair opposing such a particularization of subject. There were motions. amendments and substitutes made. finally one prevail ed that a committee of five be ap- pointed to arrange program and name speakers on various subjects and that the meeting be held next Tues day night. Then for the second time the meeting took upon itself a non partisan appearance. the first having been when a republican chairman and democratic secretary was chosen. After this matters progressed rapidly to an adiournement.
 The plan for a non-partisan meet ing on Tuesday night, when carried out. is expected to prove useful. It will bring up subjects for discus sion in which all are interested. The initiative and referendum will be one of these and there will be a number of others. Every citizen of Arizona Is. or should be. interested in con stitution building. which is of vital importance 10 those living fin the state which is borning. and to the posterity of the citizens of today. It Is therefore to be expected that bumper mass meeting will result from the meeting held last night. If delegates to the convention are to know what the people really want there must be no delay in telling them and several meetings will have to be held for this purpose. Last night the meeting did well to achieve the organization and formulate the plans made and all should join hands In making the coming mass meetings successful in the purposes for which they are intended, to give Arizona the best possible constitution.
