resent the we'll established court house ring
 They are telling you said MT. Hill. I also believe in Jeffersonian princi-
 pies, as do my associates on the re-
 publican ticket. and as do nearly all republicans and nearly all democrats One Jeffersonian doctrine in which all of us believe is the doctrine that it is good thing for the people to have
 rotation in office.
 The direct primary is supposed to
 give everybody an equal show. But how many democratic candidates out side of the court house had any show in the late primaries? By methods well understood in Phoenix. at least
 some of the details of which can be
 learned by any curious citizen of the office became the beneficiaries of the democratic primary"
 MT. Hill then gave a list of the of l lficeholders who managed to get a place on the democratic ticket. Those
 who have been holding comfortable
 berths in the court house for years and who are now representing the people" eff you hear them tell iD as candidates for various offices are:
 Jeff Adams. C. B. Wood.
 Carl Hayden. G. P. Bullard, Frank Lyman. Don Babbitt,
 George Mcdonald. Frank Luke.
 W. E. Thomas. Leon Jacobs or 10 in all.
 presuming on the fact that the good old democratic party Gin AriZona) is
 easy" For the past year or so it
 has only been necessary for candi-
 date to call himself a democrat. fall on the necks of other democrats and tell them of his undying affection for !them-incidentally shedding few tears over their shoulders in celebra- ton of the wrongs which have been
 suffered by the public because of the rigidly honest administration of terri torial affairs by republicans-and such
 candidate would at once become popular idol. However, signs of
 marked change in the attitude of the normal democrat are becoming mani { fest A very considerable number of
 thinking, tax-paying democrats are
 beginning to apply the acid test to the
 gold bricks that are handed out to
 them by professional politicians. They
 are. beginning to consider the fact that under republican rule the affairs ! of Arizona have been capably and | honestly and economically administer | ed. and that a record for efficiency has been made which few states can
 show They are beginning to con-
 slider the fact that in the manage
 ment of public affairs republican of ficials have shown no partisanship. They are beginning to consider the fact that, after all. the thing the citizen is interested in is good gov
 ernment: that after the election is over it is of no importance to him whether the man in office wears democratic label or a republican la bel-that we are all one people, hav- ing a common interest. and that the efforts of politicians to create hatreds and prejudices for the purpose of riding into office are not exactly in
 behalf of the public welfare. And as these things are considered
 more maturely: as citizens bring themselves to make a fair comparison e the qualifications of the candi- dates on the respective tickets, and it is seen that the republicans have nominated men who. man for man, are ir most cases superior to the demo- cratic candidates, the claims of the democratic office seekers that they alone represent the people" will evoke still more derisiOn.
