THANKS ELECTORS
 FOR SUPPORT
And in Triumph of Repub- licanism MT. Hayes Sees a Full Measure of Pres perity for the People of Arizona.

r H. Hayes. secretary of the re- publican state central committee, to- night issued the following statement:
 A careful conservative view of the situation after a study of the reports sent in by the committeeman of evers- county in the state warrants me in the belief that a count of ballots cast on Tuesday next will show a substantial majority in favor of the republican state and congressional tickets.
 The campaign conducted bv the re publicans has been thorough and be- lieve effective. To begin with our platform was clean cut and explicit on every question of vital importance a. this moment to the people of Ari- z0na. and our candidates have dis cussed those questions stating their positions in such unmistakable lan- guage that the voters have been pleased and have made Up their minds to support at the polls cur candidates who have proved their worth and who advocate constructive policies.
 The constitution is the peoples constitution. it is an accomplished fact and it's provisions must be carried out and will be carried out regardless of the name or the politics of the man elected governor and the people un- derstand that situation. The cOnstitu- ton, therefore, has been eliminated as @ campaign issue and the question of the fitness of the men put up by both parties as candidates for the offices. As we'll as their inclination and ability to build up Arizona are the questions to be settled at the polls
 The voters have met the candidates face to face and have heard them dis cuss the issues. They are competent to judge and will judge for themselves which of the rivals for the several of fees will best represent the people and be of greatest service to the state.
 Tt is for the voters to decide wheth- CT Arizona is tO send to the Unite II States senate and to the national con- gress. Henry F. Ashurst and Mark Smith and Carl Hayden pledged to free
 
 cc competition with the cheap lands and peon labor of Mexico. or Ralph Cameron. Hoval Smith and John S Williams, pledged tO protect the cat tlc and sheep men. the lumber men and the farmers and fruit growers of the state against that competition which could only result in disaster and retard the development of the state.
 Our campaign has been one of edu- cation which the voters apparently have appreciated There has been no rancor or bitterness displayed by our candidates. There has been no in duIgence in vilification or abuse. the time of all speakers being taken up in making clear tO their hearers what their plans would be for the develop ment of Arizona should they be chosen to fill the offices to which they aspire This course has been in marked con- trast with the course pursued by their democratic adversaries and that it has been approved by the voters will be shown. in my opinion, at the polls on Tuesday
 In my last word to the voters of Arizona before the final engagement of this memorable first state campaign I want to thank them for the interest they have taken in the arguments ad- vanced by this committee and by our candidates as to why the republicans should be entrusted with the reins of government and for the many assur- ances Of support which prompt me to
 
 be victory for the party of progress. the battle cry of which has been the restoration of prosperity to Arizona.
 Respectfully
 ''P. H. HAYES secretary Republican State Central
 Committee"
