policy of dealing with our neighbor are too patriotic to allow an admin istration to remain in power. which has brought about this weak-kneed condition of affairs. any longer than We can help
 50 far as our democratic state administration is concerned, it has been moved by one of its official family: seconded, by another, and the motion put and carried by a large majority of the democratic rank and file, that the state administration is q failure; I move t3 make it unani- nous.
 The subject of "amalgamatiOn' is continually being brought to the sur face by a few of the opposition, whose yearnings suggest the thought. There are people in this world whose cOnSciences are so calOused and scared, that they cannot understand the higher ideals, and exalted senti- ments which eliminated in the for nation of a political party in 1912. whose membership is made up of women and men. who would rather surrender their lives than these very ideals and sentiments-these funda- mental principles, on which the pro- gressive party is founded.
 The progressive party is large ienough for all who can see the light and wish to join it. This is no close corporation; we are not paying divi- dends, and We are not for sale. We are an army over 4,000,000 strong, made up of patriotic volunteers; well officered and intelligently led There . is room in our ranks for all who take the oath of allegiance, ard are willing to enlist and fight to the end of the war. Our ranks are made up of the good men and women of , l America; not frop the north nor from the south; but from the east, the west the north and south; all . marching arm in arm, shoulder to :, shoulder to the tune of that doubly sanctifed hymn, Onward Christian Soldiers" and shame on him or her, who after enlisting in this army, : listens to the siren song of the anal ', gamator. and falls by the wayside, abandoning principles for expediency = a path of righteousness for the broad : road that leads to political corrup- tion-the strong hold of the invisible :. government.
 Men and women of Arizona stand by your principles; stand by this . grand, new party whose platform is U built of material that has been tested . and tried. and is guaranteed to last :, as long as the human race continues in existence. Men and women may die; the centuries pass away but the = golden rule.' the principles of good government and right living, as taught and enunciated by the pro- gressive platform. will live forever. ,, My friends and comrades. we have . enlisted for the war; we have as yet - fought only one real battle: when we went into that engagement, We were unotganized and poorly drilled; small in numbers, but well armed and magnificently led Our gallan, : leader was not only made the target .- of hostile bullets. but was assailed by the shafts and poisoned arrows of falsehood, shot from ambush. by the cowardly gorillas in the employ v of the invisible government" AL though terribly wounded, he never ~ faltered. but fought on and on, until 70 the foe were scattered to the foui wins

 Of late, the enemy have gathered together q few of their former lead CTS and would be leaders. who are not particular as to who they lead noted principally for their abnormal
