YOUNG CONFIDENT
THAT HE WILL WIN
Declares Arizona Has No Use For
Reactionary Methods of Standpats
Candidacy.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct 11.-George
U. Young, secretary of the territory
and candidate at the coming primary
for the republican nomination for
governor, has returned from trip
to the norehern part of the state
filled with confidence as to the out
come on October "a.
I'll win a genuine victory for the
real republican party Of Arizona on
October a." said Young at his desk
in the state capitol building thi;;
morning eff the Jimmy Williams,
Observation-Disclosures machine
which has wrecked the party to some
extent in Arizona since the memorable
progressive Cameron campaign OF
1908, imagines for a single moment
that the reactionary program it has
prepared will be swallowed by Arizo-
ma voters at the polls in December
it has an awakening coming which
will be Jared into the various mem
bers with a dull, sickening thud.
mo matter what the personal
character of Judge Wells may be,
and it is of that high nature which
belongs to most men who had th1
bravery to enter and begin the devel-
opment of this Arizona wilderness;
forty years ago. he is unfortunate il
having allowed himself to be handled
by reactionary political machine
which is wholly out of tune with the
progressive spirit of Arizona. The
delegate campaign of last year should
have been sufficiently emphatic in its
outcome to convince anyone but a
feather-brained egOtist of the fulfil
ity of repeating such tactics as those
and his machine partners, but for
some reason they are choosing to
repeat the very same tactics, SO the
results, if they win at the primary
will be the same. -
Arizona has placed a high premi-
um upon popular education. The rea-
lization is clear in Arizona, as it is
nowhere else in this republic, thai
the agitation which is going on now
for taking government out of thc
hands of special privilege, and plac
ing it back in the hands of the PEG
pie where it belongs, is merely the
result of over one hundred years O.,
the little red school house. 1t is the
same little red school house which
was the peculiar pet of Washington
Jefferson, Jackson, Clay, Webster,
Abraham Lincoln, father of the re,
publican party, Grant, Garfield, Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. Out of thu
leaven of the little red school house
grew the agitation which wiped on,
slavery. The public school is the
handspring in the evolution of thi;
great government, which is the hope
of the peoples of the earth The
initiative, referendum, and recall are
merely the fruits Of the handspring
the little red school house Who runf
may read the signs of the times. Ed
ucation has prepared the people for
power. They have learned at last
that individual good lies in the com
munity welfare.
THAT is the kind of republicanism
my candidacy stands for. 1t appeals
to every man who loves his country,
loves his family, realizes his own mis-
takes in life and the mistaken ideas
in government which hindered him
while they fattened others, and woulc
eliminate those mistakes to bring
about a reign of absolute equality
before the law.
Along this line | met my old
neighbors in northern Arizona
found them warmly responsive. Some
of them told me frankly | had beer
guilty of errors as an official but
they were of the head, and not of tn,
heart. | have hundreds of letter;

republicans all over Arizona. assuring
me CT support, and begging me &c
nail the cOlors high and never pull
them down. There is nothing person
al in my candidacy 1t is one O
principle, and the principle is simply
to get into line with the plan of the
republic Reactionaryism is going tC
get it's final terrific rebuke at thc
polls in December. so far as Arizonc
is concerned"
