: their names to the document.
n On the other hand, the people
know that the republican members
of the Constitutional Convention
under orders from Washington, not
d only opposed each and every one OF
the progressive provisions in our
0 Constitution, but went on record as
voting against the adoption of the
Constitution, as whole, and tried
: to make heroes of themselves by re-
. fusing to sign the Constitution.
u Who can the people trust to carry
0 out the wise and progressive pro-
visions of the best Constitution ever
adopted by people of sovereign
State in this great Union? Will it
be the natural enemies of a peoples
government, a government for and
by the people, the republican party?
We think not.
| 1t must be that the people of Ora
ham county and of the whole Terri
tory of Arizona, will vote unani-
Imously for the candidates of the
democratic party, the party that
was true to the interests of the peo-
lple when its candidates assembled
| in Phoenix and proposed and fought
| for the peoples measures and adop-
| ted them into the Constitution, a
Constitution that provides better
for the people who have to live un-
der it, than any Constitution of any
State or National government on
Gods green footstool.
1t must be, we declare, that the
people will not forget on election
day, Tuesday, December 18th, that
they owe to the united democracy
of Arizona their Constitution and
not to the republican party, which
did everything in its power, throug h
its delegates in the Constitution al
convention to defeat the will Of the
people, and again we say, not only
voted against the adoption of each
progressive proposition and the Con-
stitution as whole, but absolutely
refused, to sign their names to the
Constitution after it was adopted By
the democratic majority of the Con-
vention.
1t is not to the enemies of popu-
lar government by the pee pie that
the wise and progressive measur es
of our Constitution can he trusted.
The people must safeg uard their
own interests by electing the demo-
cratic candidates, in the first State
election, for that will be the only
way to keep our Constitution intact.
Only its friends will carry out it's
wise provisions, its enemies, the r,.-
publicans, could not be expected to
