DEMOCRATS END PO|NT-W|TH-
 PRIDE SESSION WITH PLATFORM

pALt Wlln pIlOe QdN Wltn the uemO- crats, and after nearly twelve hours of wrangling more or less evident, the platform committee evolved a Won- derful document that filled all the point with pride" requirements of the most eXacting member of the coun- cil. The day came in like the month of March. It was lion-like in it's ap- approach, for there was stormy ses sion of the executive committee that preceded the party council, and it went out like the proverbial lamb, for when the platform was finally read, and passed by exclamation, the demos were so tired that they speed fly adjourned to meet no more for two years.
 This is in short the history of the day The only function required by law of the party council is the draft of a party platform upon which the candidates are expected to run dur ing the coming campaign. It is the keynote of the campaign in more ways than one, and last night Sena- tor Cunniff of Yavapai county, to whom and Chairman Winsor of the land commission (note platform on these questions) together with the ubiquitous George Purdy Bullard, is given the credit for the drafting of the same, read the document with resonant tones in perfect keynoting style, stopping at the proper places for the proper applause. Only one correction was made in the platform and that was to add the name of An drew Jackson to the list of illustrious suggestion made by the eminent Jacksonian. w. Paul Geary
 The officers of the state committee were elected to the same positions in the party council yesterday and then came a fight early in the morning on the matter of proxies (the usual fight in democratic gatherings), which was handed to the credentials committee. The committee decided it as the re- port will show, some proxies being admitted Then the platform com mittee was prepared and the work begun that did not end until a late hour last night when the document printed in full in this mornings paper was submitted
 Democrats, both office holding and candidates, were sent into state of trepidation early in the day when the announcement was made by the eX- ecutive committee that they would each be assessed ten per cent of the first months salary as a starter, more to come later of course. Then the sale of school land fight precipitated by Maricopa county was brought on. All the counties grouped around poor old Maricopa and looked on for a while then they individually and col iectively jumped on the proposition with the announcement we want some, too" Things were hot for short time and then it was referred to the platform committee. The steam roller made another personally conducted tour through the council yesterday under the able direction Of Chief Engineer Duffy Fireman Null ford Winsor and Conductor M. G. Cunniff If there is any doubt about the tour read the official announce ment of MT. Cunniff.
 MT. J. H. Robinson of Yavapai left early in the day and MT. Mel Bailey at night. The smiles were there as previously and toward the end one of the members quietly suggested good tune for the occasion would be smile awhile with George Personnel of the party council as adopted by report of credentials com mittee read by Chairman Mulford Winsor.
