Especial to The Republican,
! PRESCOTT. July 6.-J. E. Morrison
! presented the following resolution
which was adopted by the state eX-
| ecutive committee of the republican
/ party in conference here this morn
| ing
! "Whereas. since the last state cam
paign and general election the women
/ of the state have been admitted To
| full and equal suffrage largely
! through the efforts of the repubi-
can party and in accordance with it's
! platform, and
| Whereas the male republicans Of
this state are sincerely desirous of
welcoming the women Of Arizona to
| the fullest participation in party
| councils and of placing women can
| ddates upon the state and county
republican tickets for as high offices
as are in the gift of the people now.
| therefore, be it
Resolved that the executive com
mitteemen be and each of them is
hereby instructed and directed forth
with to appoint to their respective
counties number Of republican wo-
men residing therein equal to the
representation of such county on the
republican state committee to act as
advisory members of such committee,
! il being impossible under the law for
! the committee to appoint such women
as full members as all committeeman
are required to be elected at the
primaries"
| The report was signed by Chair
man HubbeI.
The report claims all the difference
of policy between the republican and
progressives could have been fairly
and easily settled and that rock on
which the negotiations broke was in
the name of republican"
Unreasonable" is the way the re-
port characteriZes the demands Of the
progressiVes. Then comes the most
important political resolution Of the
report 1t stings the representatives
of the state government as incompe-
ent. eXtravagant and reckless and
tells how necessary il is to supplant
it. In saying election the wording
very carefully includes women as
many times as men
The report then concludes this
way:
That a sincere and hearty invita-
tiOn be extended to all good citizens
to unite with the republican party in
one mighty effort to Wrest control Of
the states political and official af-
fairs from the present obnoxious ad-
1ir1iS frat a frtlI
ticket is to be put in the field. and
that women voters will be an aid to
the republican party
Not satisfied with jumping the
democratic party for the iniquities Of
the state administration and the pro-
gressive leaders for refusing to come
| in out of the wet, the committee
went ahead with still another resolu-
| ton This one was directed at the
progressive party not as a whole but
| just at its heads 1t accuses the
leaders with having dsregarded the
wishes of the rank and file of the
progressive party in turning down
the generous offers of the republi-
! cans Then, now, therefore the COM
mittee does hereby extend a most
cordial and earnest invitation to the
progressive voters of the state to
| join in the great struggle" Redemp-
| ton of the commonwealth is harped
upon.
| Admitting that there is disaffection
among the rank and file of the repub-
lican party, but trying like a good lit
| tie pugilist to conceal by a WhrlWind
| finish his grOggy condition, an eXecu-
| tive committee of old line republicans
| last night determineI to overlook the
| rejection of their peace proposals by
| the progressives in the afternoon and
decided to put a straight ticket in the
| field. The hearty and whole souled in
%itation to join in the fight at the pri
| maries. was extended to the progress
sives, even after the unqualified refu-
! sal of Tom Moloy and f. s. Clark, the
main prOgresslves here
In appointing his committee to con-
| fer Will, the progressivas, Sttta Chair
man ]. L. Hu3bell either committed
| an awful bonehead or attempted on The
| quiet tC defeai all plans for the con-
ciliation for he marcel five Of the most
standpat republicans he could find.
| This, coming after Judge F. Il. Sloan
| had made the mCtio',, and mad urged
! that he He not considered for member
snip on the committee because his own
well known reactionary tendencies
might defeat the proposal before it was
uttered. caused no little ire among
Sloan, Kibbey, Wells and others of
their earnest ilk. Kibbey refused
stoutly to serve because he said he
might be stumbling block to affilia
