The editor of the AR1zON1AN
has no i'll will for those who vot-
ed against him. it was their privi-
lege, we believe they thought
they were voting for the best
men when they cast their ballots.
We will do our best to help elect
the ticket as nominated. Demo
cratic principles are above indi-
yiduals and we fully believe that
those nominated at yesterdays s
primary will carry out the princi-
pies of the party and, unquestion-
ably we can do more to assist in
electing the ticket as editor OF
this paper by staying at our post
of duty than we could possibly
do by being one of the nominees
of the party and out in the cam
paign.
Our deepest regret is for the
disappointment of those who la
bored so faithfully for our nom
ination and to them we will al
ways be grateful and sincerity
trust that in the years to come
they will not have cause for re-
gret because of having thus la
bored for our nomination.
The ticket nominated is a good
one and we ask that our friends
and supporters join with us in
helping to roll up one of the
greatest majorities for Messrs.
Kane and Whipple ever given
Democratic legislative nominees.

According to adVlceS received

ces, the fact of my defeat for the

finitely established. While this
naturally causes me regret. |
shall neither repine nor pout, nor
falter in the fight for the princip
les I haye, in my modest way,

deavored, in the Constitutional
Convention and in this primary
campaign, to uphold. Not less
than heretofore, | believe in the
Rule of the People, and so be-
lieving, cheerfully bow to the
will of a majority of the people
who escaped disfranchisement
under the terms of a narrow
partisan enabling act.
In this hour, when the Dem
ocracy of Arizona, occupying a
position in the forefront of the
fight for progressive popular gov
ernment, is on trial, | adjure the
men who have been chosen to
bear our party's standard to
victory, to do so brayely and un-
haltingly-to so declare them
selves and so conduct themselves,
both as candidates and as servants
of the people as to bring triumph
to the peoples cause and give
lustre to their own achievements.
In a good old fashioned Dem
ocratic victory, such as is assured,
there will be glory enough for all
for the candidates. who were
unsuccessful in the primaries as
we'll as those who were success
sful but it must be borne in
mind that a good old-fashloned
Democratic victory will only be
made complete by the earring
out. in letter and in spirit, of the
true Democratic principles typi-
fed by and embodied in Arizona's
progressive constitution. That
Constitution. justly lauded as
as the high-water mark in the
growth of popular government,
shall continue to be the battle
cry in Arizona until the people,
whose rights it protects, shall be
firmly entrenched in the power
which to them belongs and the
fortress of their rulership shall
become impregnable.
| am deeply grateful to the
friends throughout Arizona who
gave me their loyal support
more because of the faith they
thus expressed in the policies for
which | stood and shall continue
to stand, than for any possible
tribute to myself. Especially am
| grateful to the people of Yuma
county, both Democrats and Re-
publicans, who with remarkably
few exceptions, without regard
to either personal or political con-
sideratiOns, gave encouragement
and practical aid to my candidacy.
| want to assure them that it
shall be my constant effort as a
private citizen, as it would have
been as a public servant, to
justify and retain the confidence
in me expressed at the polls by
my neighbors.
