The Republican Party of the State
of Arizona in party council assembled
unqualifedly endorses the platform
adopted by the Republican Nationa
Convention and pledges its united anc
enthusiastic efforts in support of the
nominees of that convention.
Hughes and Reunited Party
The high character, the splendic
record and exalted Americanism OF
Charles E. Hughes and of Charles w
Fairbanks, are attracting to our re-
united party, as the campaign pro-
crosses, increasing numbers of pat
riotic Americans who have not hereto
fore been identified with US, assuring
us of victory.
We favor the immediate submission
by congress to the states of the pro-
posed equal suffrage amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
known as the Susan B. Anthony
Amendment.
For Justice in Reclamation Service
We favor liberal appropriations by
the national government to complete
reclamation projects already begun in
the state and the construction of new
projects. At the same time we favor
relief against the imposition as
against the land owners under any
such project of the excess and i'm
proper cost, and to that end we pledge
the intelligent and effective efforts of
out congressional candidates when
elected.
Against the Papago Blunder
We protest against the further set.
ting of the public lands within the
state for the benefit of the Indians,
who have already more land than is
needed for their support and main
tenance.
Hunts Administration Condemned
We condemn the Hunt administra
tion for it's ineficiency and for its
gross extravaganza, and we especial
ly condemn it for it's disregard for
law and its enforcement, and for its
indifference to any interest in the
state that is not politically subsurv-
Went to it.
A Business Administration Pledged
And We propose to put in it's place
an administration pledged to strict
economy, businesslike conduct of
state affairs, strict and impartial
enforcement Of law, and the putting
into effect of such broad liberal and
progressive policies as will attract
capital to our state, encourage legiti-
mate enterprise, enlarge the opportu-
mites of labor and employment anc
improve the condition of our people
in every part of our state and il
every line of industry.
We condemn the creation of sc
many useless interlocking and con.
ficting offices and commissions anc
favor the retention of such of these
only as are needed to carry on the
work of the state government with
efficiency.
For Fitness and Ability
We condemn nepotism and othel
prevalent forms of favorism in the
appointment and employment of per
sons to fill places in the public offices
and declare that fitness, ability ant
disposition to render service shoult
control in such appointments.
For the Budget System
We favor the adoption of the Bud
get system for state expenses AM
pont as an example of it's necessity tt
the extravagant and wasteful expend
itures of public moneys under tn
present state administration.
For Equitable Taxation
We favor an equitable imposition o
taxes to the end that all classes O
property shall bear their just burdel
of taxation.
Against Politics in the School System
We favor the extension of our edu
cational facilities and to that end w
favor more centralized control o
our educational institutions in orde
that greater economy may be oh
tanned in their conduct and operatio
and better results obtained from tn
money expended in their behalf, an
as an important step in this directio
that politics should be eliminate
from our state educational institu
| tions.
