 I deem it the duty of this legislature I deem it the duty of the democratic party represented by large majority of the members of this legislature, to settle this question once for all. The l terms of the constitution are conflict g ing-a conflict caused by Arizona's de-
 layed admission into the union-a con- e flict which could only be settled judic- e ially by reference to the supreme
 court, thus placing that tribunal in
 the position of sitting on the adjust
 ment of the term of it's own official S life, and creating a situation at once r. delicate, embarrassing, and of ques- s tionaDle propriety. I thing the demo- f cratic party is big enough and fair l. enough and brave enough to lay aside e the question of political eXpediency, l. waive the arguments favoring one
 view or the other of constitutional d construction, standing firmly on the J. ground of democratic willingness to e submit it's cause anew to the people, g and make definite and unequivOcal pro
 vision for a general election of all
 state and county officers in the fall of
 this year 1912. That was the under # standing and intent of the constitu- l4:z fha lar toT d. ; ing and belief of Arizona's voters; it }, was the understanding and tacit agree > ment of every candidate for office, l, either successful or unsuccessful, l. whose name appeared upon the state d and county ballots. To disregard it l. would be little short of a breach of l. faith, which the people could not be T. blamed for resenting.
 v Make Good.
 I In this and in all things else, ad J. jure you, make good, in letter and in l. spirit, in thought and in deed, by pre- S cept and example, by act and admoni- T tion, to yourselves, to your party, to h your state, to your principle-to the e constitution you are sworn to defend. e I pledge you my heartiest support a and best assistance; that I will work y with you and by you, hour for hour, 'f day for day, night for night when e need be. I trust that the friendiest e and most amicable relations may pre- n vail between yourselves, each and ev- e cry one of you and myself. that per a. sonal feelings, if any exist, may be laid III aside, selfish desires abandoned indiv
 idual ambitions forgotten, and patriot m ism, erect and triumphant, may guide le us all to the end, to the glory and gair U , of our beloved Arizona.
