Arizona republican., 1916-07-14

Brother Jaynes of the Tucson Citizen. contents himself with rubber stamping these perjury sentiments, there by exercising his usual caution.
 Equally beside the point is the reference of the Review to the primary law which it makes the goat sins of those registration patriots who violate their registration, is this:
 The primary defines clearly that the voter must cast his her ballot in accordance with the vot- CTS registration but it neither makes mandatory nor even suggests what party the voter desires to endorse for primary purposes Freedom of selection is unre- served The voter who surrenders this freedom of se lection is indeed perjurer and conscience is the ac- Voters who ntimidated by partisanship whip hands and therefore fail to exercise their tablished prerogatives the primaries indeed committing an offense against public morality
 The Republican for four years has denounced the evil of blind partisansm and in all that time it has practiced what it preached. It has upheld the prn- oples of progressvism but it has not urged the sup port of candidate merely because he happened to be the progressive ticket, It urges the overthrow of the democratic government Arizona because for five years government has been failure in both its executive and it's legislative branches.
 The Review and other democratic newspapers are seeking overthrow only the executive branch, and to accomplish that they inviting republicans not to become democrats but to pretend to become democrats and solemny that they democrats that they may assist cutting off only the executive branch
 The Republican has the slightest objection to a republican progressive becoming democrat, a pretended primary democrat, but out and out democrat. if he thinks that by that he best contribute to improvement of the state government If that sort of a thing him that is the of thing likes" It would be very wrong for him to main the republican party just because he happens have been a republican. because his father republican. if he believes that the democratic ty be miraculously purified at the primaries to give government than it has been able give it during the last five years If The Re publican believed that it would advise all it's repub lcan readers turn democrats. vote at the demo- cratic primaries and vote the democratic ticket the general election in November.
 The primary law as it has been amended by the last democratic legislature is indeed outrageous law it intended to be It was framed to per petuate the rule of democracy in Arizona It not contemplated by the framers however that such would be made of it by republicans is asked to be made. It intended to keep the republicans their side of the and keep the democratic jority intact. It intended prevent republicans from assisting in the nomination of weak democratic candidates in whose easy defeat the republicans would assist the polls
 In order therefore to get the fence the pr- mary law amended to make the republicans swear to a lie. The democrats, it was not contem- plated be affected by the amended law because it then conceived by the framers of the law that democrats would take part in republ- can primaries.
 But now one faction of the democratic party wants republicans the democratic side of the fence-ony at the primaries After that they go back In the opinion of the evil advisers these republicans will be needed by them the polls. We think though this is somewhat irrelevant that they mistaken there that the democratic ticket whichever faction may nominate it. will need votes in November than it will get.
 We hope that we have made it plain that The Republican has touched the partisan whip handle and has intention of doing We recognize the right of every to go from party to another honestly nobody recognize the right of any man to pretend to be something when he is something else.
