DECLARATIO OF PRINCIPLES OF
 THE PROGRESSIVES OF ARIZONA

prohibiting the exportation of such products from our country until such a scarcity has been relieved, believing that the welfare of our own people demands first consideration rather than that of other countries. K
 We recognize that the present ex- pense of running our state govern nnt is eXtravagant and out of pro- portion to the benefits accruing to the people, and we pledge the candi- dates of the Progressive Party to such a bus1nesslike, efficient and economi- cal administration of the affairs of the state as will materially lessen the burden of the taxpayer.
 XI
 We favor placing the construction and maintenance of state highways under the control of a non-partisln highway commission, thereby eli,ninat- l. ing politics from this important item ot state expense.
 XII.
 We favor the early sale of the lands granted to the state under the enab- ling act to provide for the reimburse ment to the counties of Pima, Yava- pai, Coconino and Maricopa for rail- road bonds issued, thereby lessening the burden to the taxpayers of those counties.
 We also favor legislation providing for the sale of occupied school and university lands embraced within Unit ed States reclamation projects under such regulations as will justly pro- teCt the mutual rights of the state and the occupants, as contemplated by our constitution. XIV.
 We advocate the highest develop ment of the public school system of the. state, and urge an enlargement in agricultural and industrial train ing.
 We believe in such scientific and efficient system of taxation as shall justly equalize the burdens of the taxpayers.
 We pledge our candidates to q faithful observance and a rigid en- | furcement of the laws as written on our statute books, believing that the will of the people as expressed in the statutes should be superior to the ideas of any individual concerning such laws.
 XVII We protest against the suspension ! by Governor Hunt of the statute , which imposes the death penalty | upon persons convicted of wilful and premeditated murder, his excuse for SC doing being based on no other | reason thar his personal objection tC i the imposition of such penalty. XVIII. | Recognizing the imperfectiOns in the present primary law, and the i'm ! practical operation of the same. we
Arizona republican., 1914-09-30

favor it's amendment to remove such imperfections and afford the voter d free opportunity to vote for the can didate of his choice and safeguard the candidates against political chicanery.
 XIX.
 The Progressive Party having been the first in the state to advocate equal suffrage, we now urge the women of the state to exercise their full political rights.
 XX.
 Recognizing that the Workmen's Compulsory Compensation Act which is now in force fails to protect the employees of insolvent employers, We advocate it's amendment by providing that each employer shall insure each employe to the extent of the com pensatiOn provided to be paid him by the act, and we further favor that such individual insurance shall be fur nished by the state where private concerns exact excessive rates of in surance therefor. We further favor that the collection of damages under the Compensation Act shall be placed in the hands of the Corporation Con- mission, which shall collect and pay the same without cost to the em- ploye.
 We favor the enactment of a law which prohibits all employers-cor- porate and otherwise-from in any way directly or indirectly, controll- : ing or .coercing the political activi- ties of their employees and imposing distasteful political duties upon them.
 XXI.
 The Progressive Party, standing as it does for those things that upbuiId society, and against everything that tears down and destroys the social order, supporting those things which make the individual more efficient, and opposing those things which tend to lessen that efficiency, working for the upbuiIding and encouragement of all legitimate business and against any business that preys on the appe- tites and passions of men, advocates the adoption of the so-calIed Dry Amendment to the Constitution of Arizona.
 XXIII
 We send our affectionate greetings to our great national Progressive leader, Theodore Roosevelt and con- gratulate him on his fearless devo- tion to the Progressive cause, which 1 is fundamentally the cause of human rights.
 l XXIV
 The Progressive Party stands firm i 1y for the complete rule of the people and in vigorous opposition to the party boss system. In our efforts to secure good government for Arizona we ask the earnest support of al men and women who believe in the foregoing Progressive principles, with out regard to their previous politica affiliations.

 Meets and Finishes Work

Before an audience that filled the into Federal park, the leading pro- gressive candidates for state and fed eral offices last night opened the campaign for better and more efficient government in Arizona. In speeches ringing with patriotism and loyalty to principles, the progressive platform was presented and it's features eX- plained in a manner that left no room for doubt as to the party's ideals.
 The meeting was called to order by State Chairman George N. Me Bean, who introduced H. B. Willin- son as the chairman of the evening He in turn presented Dr. J. B. Nell son, progressive candidate for United States senator, who, in a speech that embodied the highest progressive prin- ciples, held the close attention an6 won the hearty assent of all who heard him.
 Urging purity in politics as the ideal to be attained, Dr. Nelson em- phasized especially the need of mer in office who would be loyal to prin ciple rather than to party name. Re
 ferring to the administrations polio. in the Mexican situation, he declared
 for the protection of American citi
 zens anywhere, and pledged himsel
 to work for American labor and fo
 the welfare and protection of tn American workingman Referring t the questions before the people at tn next election, he pledged his suppor to the dry plank in the progressiv platform and declared that he woul support and work for workingmen' insurance and the development of ari | lands.

ment of we'll trained troops from In dia, but when they are due is not disclosed. They may arrive in time to turn the balance in favor of their side.
 | A further account of the operations in France up to five days ago was issued by the official press bureau today. It pays a high tribute to the work of the airmen who, since the outbreak of the war, have succeeded | in keeping the special staffs on both sides informed of the movements of the opposing forces. l The Germans are in force at Cra- COW, where the Austrians form the extreme right and they have consid- erably reinforced their front eXtend- 1 ing north of that fortress through KalisZ, Russian Poland to Thorn, in l the province of West Prussia. Fur ther north they crossed from East Prussia and got as far as the river Niemen, where they are reported to have suffered a reverse. The two armies, however are in close touch right across the country so battle along this extended front will not be long delayed.
 l The Russian emperOrs immense armies oppose the Germans at every point, and themselves will stry to in wade Germany in more than one dis trict
 Of the operations around Sarajevo nothing has been heard today, but the Servians and Montenegrins will soon be ready for grand assault on that city, which beyond all others | the Servians would like to occupy. i The Austrians are also being at tackled at Cattaro, where in addition 1 to land operations by the Montene- grins, the French and English fleets are making an effort to reduce the fortress.
 There is more talk of Italy, Ru- mania and Turkey becoming involved in the war, but for the moment Italy is being held back by the govern ment. Turkey it is believed would like to take a hand in the hope of
  lost in the Balkan wars, but the mo- ment she does, Greece will be in arms against her, while this also would be a signal for Rumania to come in.
 The German cruiser Emden has again been busy in East India wa ters, besides sinking four British steamers, making nine to her credit, she also captured a collier which. will ensure her mobility for another week or more.
 The British government is taking steps to put stop to the supplying of coal to the few German cruisers which are at large. On different oc- !casions the government made repre- sentations to the governments of countries from which these cruisers got their supplies, and is also hunt ing down colliers.
 Dutch steamers are being examined in this way and a check put on com modities being shipped to Germany through the Netherlands. Big Dutch steamer lines announce they will only accept cargo from America con- signed to the Netherlands government which to avoid a breach of neutrality must see to it this cargo does moi get into Germany.

Senator Reed Smoot Protests Against
 British Interference

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-The in reference of the British government with American copper shipments to Rotterdam in neutral ships, was call ed to the attention of the senate to- day by Senator Shoot of Utah, who read a telegram from the Interna- tional Metal Selling Company of New York, urging him to make representa- tions to the state department. The senator said he would take the mat ter up with the department tomorrow.
 The telegram said the action of the British government seriously endan- gered the copper industry and was unreasonable.
 The British royal proclamation and the second Hague conference stipula- tions," it said, did not mention cop per as even a conditional contraband- Unless shipments of copper to the neutrals be kept open I am afraid further reduction of productions is inevitable"
