Carolina and greeting a delegation from the united negro democracy of New Jersey. He later lunched with J. Taylor Ellison. former lieutenant governor of Virginia, Tn the conference with the Senators, the Arizpnian urged the governor to treat the tariff in his acceptance speech in such way that it would inspire the confidence of the business men of the country.
 The negro delegation, who told the governor that their race manted to support q man in sympathy with their aims received this answer: You may feel assured of my entire comprehen sion of the ambitions of the negro race and my willingness, and desire to deal with that race fairly and with jus tice"

THE RESOLUTIONS.


 We, the delegates to the first Ari- Zona progressive convention, assem- bled at Phoenix, Arizona, this thir- tieth day of July, A. D. 1912, repre- senting the progressive electors of this state, who recognize that the time has come for a national pro- gressive movement on nonscctionaI lines, make the following declaration of principles:
 We believe that the sordid inter ests which through machine bosses controlled the Chicago convention and robbed the people of their po- litical rights were equally repr' ,ented at the Baltimore convention by bosses of different political labels, and that these two conventions have clearly shown to the people of this nation the dangerous alliance which exists between political bosses and those seeking special privileges con- flicting with the general welfare and has evidenced the vital need of a new progressive party definitely based on the actual right and ca pacity of the people to rule them selves and effectively to control the agencies or llcII SON CT HIllcllA
 l. Return to principles of Jeffer son and Lincoln.
 We believe the national progressive party should teach and demand the return to and enforcement of the principles of government as taught and practiced by Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. IT. Industrial justice. We recognize that it is of vital necessity to the welfare of this cOun- try that through an intelligent and practical method of industrial evolu- ton. greater social and industrial justice be secured. ~ III. Labor.
 We favor and demand the enact ment of such laws in the interests of 1 labor as will provide for eight hours work per day, and six days per week l in all public works and industrial pursuits, that do not comprehend ag- riculture, and which will prohibit all employers, corporate and other wise, from in any way, directly or indirectly, controlling the political activities of their employees and i'm |

 Following are two special resolu- tions adopted subsequent to action on the platform:
 PROTECTION OF AMERICANS. Be it resolved, That the progressive party of Arizona, in convention as- sembled, affirm our approval of, and adherence in, the time honored American principle of the protection or American citizens dOmiciled in foreign lands, and hereby express our disapproval and condemnation of the weak and vacillating policy of the present deplorable and chaotic conditions in the Republic of Mexico. and in it's failure to afford protec- tion of American citizens in that re- public. x INSTRUCT FOR ROOSEVELT. Realizing that the principles advo- cated by the progressive party will be best represented and upheld by Theodore Roosevelt, that great and genuine American citizen. champion of human rights and fair dealing, therefore be it resolved by the state convention of the progressive party of Arizona held at the city of Phoe- nix on the 30th day of July, 1912. that the delegates chosen by this convention to attend the national convention of the progressive party. to be held at Chicago on the 5th day of August, next are hereby directed and instructed to use every honor able effort to secure the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt by said con vention as candidate for president of the United States.

SENATE BILL 24: THREE-CENT-
 FARE BILL

THhG otGI
 The railways claim that if the legis- lature can limit the rate of fare to three cents per mile, it can likewise limit the market price of hay to ten dollars per ton. or the price of wheat to seventy-five cents per busheI. They assert that the law of supply and de- mand is alone applicable.
 Arizona has a population of only one and six tenths persons per square mile. as against twelve persons per square mile in Texas, and a greater number in many other states. Opera ton in Arizona is abnormally eXpen sive because of the distance that wat CT and fuel must be hauled. Again, the mountains which yield the mineral wealth of Arizona, increase it's trans portation difficulties by the grades which railroads climb. Railways know that large expenditures are necessary for new lines, and for increased facil- ities for handling traffic; that such fresh capital can only be attracted by a remunerative return. Attention is invited to the fact that however much legislation may be imposed upon cap ital already invested, it is impossible to legislate and regulate new private capital into any enterprise.
 The railways offer figures to sup port their claims and insist upon the right to be heard. to the same day in court, that is accorded the humblest citizen. A proposition to invoke the referendum for legislation originating with labor unions, and to leave the three cent fare bill to be fought out in the courts. was unanimously voted down at a recent conference of rep resentatives of the leading railways of Arizona. They approach the question in good faith and with clean hands They invoke the referendum as part of the machinery of government pro- vided for a free expression of a fair minded people. They challenge to public debate the demagogue and the self-exploiting politician, who with with half truths. fool a part of the people all of the time.
