It is not a question of whether Arizona is to be democrat ic state or not; it is not a question of whether we are to enter tine Union of States this year or ten years hence. but it is of vital importance that the con- stitution be free from such un-Ameri- can ideas as disfranchisement of any people on account of race. color or re- ligion; free from such laws which shall tell a man what he shall eat or drink free from laws which shall lock out from our valleys and mountains. that class of immigrants which love our flag and respect our laws: free from the faintest tinge of knownothingism.
