PROPOSED STATE FUSION TICKET
BLOCKED BY PROGRESSIVE BOSSES


mittee met in. adjourned session il
Prescott, Arizona, on July 9th. 1911
after hearing the opinions, views
and ideas expressed by large nun
bers of citizens of all political affili
atoms from all parts of the State
not only those who were presen
at the conference, but many others
and after fully considering the stu
alton and all matters and thing.
which had been placed before it
adopted the following resolution.
Whereas, the present incompe.
tent, extravaeant, and reckless State
administration has aroused justly
unfavorable criticism and determin-
ed opposition and condemnation oil
the great majority of the citizens
! of Arizona, and
Whereas, the necessity for sup
planting the said administration by
the election of competent and eff
cient women and men to the State
and County offices, in order that
Arizona may take her proper place
among the prosperous and decently
governed commonwealth of the
country, is so manifest that party
success should not be the paramount
issue in the coming campaign: and
Whereas, at this time, the Demo
cratic party is, most unfortunately
under the domination and control
of the present State administration
forces and the only other well or
ganized and efficient political body
in the State is the Republican party
and
Whereas, everyone must recog-
nize that this great object can only
be achieved by a party already
strongly organized in every precinct
and county in the State:
NOW, therefore, be it resolved,
by the Executive Committee of the
Republican State Committee that 4
hearty, sincere, and earnest invita-
ton be and the same is hereby ex-
tended to all good citizens of Ari-
zona, no matter what their present
political affiliations may be, to, at
this time, and for the purpose above
set forth, unite with the Republi-
can party in one mighty effort to
wrest the control of the States po-
litical and official affairs from the
present obnoxious administration,
which has so fagrantly and notori-
ously ignored the law and disrc-
garded the welfare of our citizens.
And be it further,
Resolved, that the members Of
all political parties, solely, if de-
sired, for the purpose above stated,
are earnestly urged and invited to
unite with the Republican party to
participate in the primaries for nom
nations for any or all Offices OF
the Republican ticket and that thil
committee hereby pledges itself to
use every endeavor to influence all
OF the Republicans of Arizona t.
support all candidates 5u.ccedine in
5 eli primaries in secI~ins nomina-
tons on the Republican ticket" ..
The following resolution was also
adopted:
Whereas, the conference Of Pro
gressives and Republicans held in
Prescott, Arizona, on the 9Th and
9th days of July, 1914, and this
committee have exhausted every
reasonable effort in an endeavor to
reach solution OF the differences
which are said to exist between
Progressives and Republicans in
Arizona: and
"Whereas, the leaders Of the Pro-
eressives have obstinately and un-
reasonably refused to consider any
practical proposition looking to that
end: and
"Whcrcas, in the opinion OF said
conference and OF this committee
such leadsrs have wiliuily ignored
and held for naught the will and
wish OF the majority of Progressive
voters OF this State:
"NOW, therefore. this committee
does hereby extend most cordial
and earnest invitation to the Pro
+ gressive voters of Arizona to join
in the great struggle now before
ali good citizens of this State to
redeem our commonwealth from the
clutches of the present incompetent
and inefficient State administration
and to participate in the primaric:
both in seeking nominations and ii
voting thereat to the end that cap
able men and women, no matter
whether Republicans, Progressive,
or people of other political faith
