HON FRED GOLFER AP PR OWE
 PLATFORM
IN A LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE CANDl- DATE FOR GOVERNOR APPEALS FOR ADHERENCE TO ITS PRIN- CIPLES.
Colter, Arizona, Oct. ,, 1918.

Colter, Arizona, Oct. ), 1918.
 Hon. Geo. Babbitt, Chairman,
 Democratic State Central Committee, Flagstaff, Arizona.
 My dear MT. Babbitt:
 In reply to your letter asking whether I desire to make any further expression on the State Democratic Platform adopted by the Party Coun- cil at it's recent meeting, in which I had the honor to participate, I wish to state again my entire approval of same, and pledge myself to appeal to the people for their loyal support and adherence to it's principles.
 It is a recital of the accomplish ments of the Democratic National Ad- ministration in it's successful con- duct of governmental affairs during the most critical period of our his tory, and, in addition, contains an out line of the policies to be pursued 'by Democratic officials while the war lasts and during the trying period of reconstruction which must follow. It has always been my desire to awaken in the people a realization of their direct responsibility for the govern ment and to arouse them to an active participation in all the problems of the country's political life, because the government is actually theirs and reflects their attitude, whether ser ious or indifferent. In this respect the platform is an inspiring document and should appeal to all who take all interest in the progress of political science and the cause of true liberty and awaken an interest in those who are indifferent. Necessity now forces us to realize that on our management of the government depends our mill. tary strength and efficiency. It is the primary and indispensable duty of our electors to follow the manuscript with studious care. I know that the ctr cumstances under which the platform was prepared-in an open assembly Of the elected representatives of the Democratic party-make 1t worthy to become the platform of the whole peo rle of Arizona, as it is an ,epitome ol the principles of their government.
 The platform embodies my own sentiments, so completely, and em braces expressions as to conditions ir Arizona, so fully in accord with my own ideas, that I unhesitatingly adopt it, in its entirety, as an enunciatior of the principles and policies fol

HAYDEN'S DEFEAT
 WOULD BE LOSS

The partisanship of the National Se- undertaken to advise the voters of the country to return republican con- gross to uphold" the president in the prosecution of the war, although masking under the guise of patriotism and nonpartisanship, has been expos ed in many instances throughout the country.
 The absolute unreliability of this ''Don-partisan" organization has been most positively shown in it's attack upon Representative Carl Hayden of this state. In endeavoring to use tho material of this "non-partisan'' or ganization for attacking Representa- tive Hayden, the republicans of this state find themselves in a bad way.
 Wires President Wilson.
 The following exchange of tele- grams establishes the record of Rep- resentative Hayden:
 Phoenix, Ariz. Oct. 20, 1918. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, The White House,
 | Washington, D. c.
 My dear MT. President: Republican newspapers are making vicious attacks upon the loyalty and patriotism of Honorable Carl Hay. den, democratic candidate for con- gress from Arizona.
 These newspapers have said that Hayden voted against the declaration of war when the truth is that he voted for it ;that he voted for the McLe- more resolution when he voted to table it; that he voted for the Coop CT mandment to the armed neutrality bill when he voted against it: that he voted against conscription when he voted for the selective draft bill; thet he has voted against everything with which to fight the war; 1 In addition to all these false charges the republican state central committee is now printing a letter from the National Security league of New York advising the voters of Arizona to defeat Hayden because 6 year before. the declaration of war he voted against four republican amendments to the army and % navy appropriation bills and because he 1 NO'Ou dSdiiiSI tue hduH to the selective draft bill.
 The people of Arizona have every confidence in your judgment on men and measures, and I therefore hope that you will be able to send me an answer to the following questions.
 Has Congressman Hayden of Art- zona been loyal to his country?
 Has he supported your administra. tion. and do you desire his reelection to congress?
 (Signed) George Babbitt Chairman State Democratic Central Committee of Arizona.
 President Wilson's Reply. George Babbitt, Chairman,
 State Democratic. Central Committes, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Congressman Hayden has in every way been loyal to the county. He has supported my administration most Loyalty, and I should deem his defeat a distinct loss to the cause we are all fighting for.

MAN PARADED AS
 BOND STACKER
CHARLES REAS, WHOSE FACE WAS PAINTED YELLOW, HIS HANDS TIED AND NECK IN A MOOSE PICKED UP.

Phoenix-Chas. Reas, the Arizona Eastern carpenter, who on Tuesday ot last week was paraded through the business streets of PhoeniY as bond stacker, face painted yellow, rope around his neck, hands tied and with a sign On his breast which read With This Exception We are 100 Per cent, yesterday was committed to the state hospital for the insane by, order of Judge R. c. Stanford of the Marlcopa county superior court.
 Discovered by a motorist wander ing aimlessly on the Yuma road nine miles from this city, Reas yesterday was brought by the motorist to town and turned over to the police.
 No Food Three Days.
 During his occasional semi-rational moments, Reas had told the motorist whose name the police did not learn, that he had been without food Tor three days and that he had been fred upon several times. He also said that they had tried to hang him in Phoenix.
 When searched at the police sta tion, the man was found to have check for $90.99, a railroad ticket to Los Angeles and other articles of value.
 According to the police, the motor ist asked Reas if be would like to hay him take him pack to Phoenix where the police could give him the best of care. The man at first hesitated, they said, and then replied that he be- lieved it would be best, as "the po- lice had saved him last week from being hanged"
 Declared Insane.
 Reas evidently referred to the dem- onstration in the streets last Tues day when the police took the man iron: the hands of the crowd when the parade had reached Third street and the rail road tracks and placed hiTu in jail for safe keeping.
 After an examination by Dr. A. B. Nichols, county physician, Reas was declared to be insane, and commit ment was signed by Judge Stanford, the man being at once taken to the state hospital east of the city.
 Dr. Nichols stated last night that he did not hold the recent treatment accorded Reas las week as bond stacker when he was paraded through the streets as responsible for his present condition He stated that there was no doubt that Reas had heen insane for some time and an acute outbreak might be expected al any time from man in his condition but that there was nothing violent about him at present.
 Once Before In Asylum.
 At least once before this, Reas has been confined in an insane asylum When taken in charge last week by the police, Reas admitted that he had been in an insane asylum ant while confined there, his alleged friends had taken all his property For that reason, he said, he wa: sus spicious of all investments whicf he declared was the reason he hat not invested in nay Liberty bonds, ir spite of all urgent pleading.
 When taken to the police station last week, Reas was found to have nearly $500 in cash in his pockets The affair was supposed to have beer ended after the man finally ha( bought a $10O bond. The Liberty loa, Committee, after Investigating th' case, had secured his return to hi. former position with the Arizona Eas ern railroad.
