ganda, and advocates of sabotage
on our farms and ranges, in our
mines, upon Our railroads, or in
any of our industries, whether
through intimidation by word of

Road to Happiness

Be amiable, cheerful and good
natured and you are much more
likely to be happy. You will find
this difficult. if not impossible,
however, when you are constantly
troubled with constipation. Take
Chamberlain's Tablets and get rid
of that and it will be easy. These
tablets not only move the bowels,
but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.

ination for Governor of Arizona
this year.
In announcing his candidacy, he
gave out the following declaration
of patriotic principles:
To the people of Arizona
There is no issue but war. The
one duty of every American is to
win the war. Political parties have
but one duty, which is to win the
war. This is not the Presidents
war, it is not Congress war, but it
is war waged by the people of the
United States for the welfare and
safety of America and for the civil
lied world. We as a nation are
pledged to put the war through to
the hilt without hinching, until we
win the peace of overwhelming
victory. In the words of President
Wilson, we mnst use force, force
TO the utmost, force without stint
or limit, the righteous and trl-
umphant force which shall make
right the law Of the world and cast
every selfish dominion down In the
world. This is our battle cry" l
stand by the President and support
him in his purpose to win the war
at all costs.
The patriotic duty of every man
and woman to our country and its
allies demands an uninterrupted
operation of our industries during
the war, and to this end capital
and labor must combine to serve
the necessity which now exists and
which will exis throughout the war,
for maximum industry that we as a
nation may give our fullest support
to our men in arms on land and
sea If differences arise between
employer and employee, causing
the weakening of Our industrial
army in this great war, the out
come of which is no less dependent
upon the might of our united labor
at home than upon the valor OF our
sons on the seas and battlehelds,
tf1e logical method of adjustment
of these differences is that of arbl-
tration. The Federal Government
has provided the means for carry
ing out arbitration in this state,
and this method, therefore, should
have our fullest support and honest
cooperation.
The responsibilities which rests
upon both capital and labor at this
time is greater than at any other
time in the history of the nation.
/ am not in sympathy with the
strike breeder and agitator who en-
deavors to create dissension between
employer and employee. nor am
in sympathy with the employer
who seizes upon such conditions as
confront us today to disrupt the
organization of his employees or to
pro6teer. Both are guilty OF Grim
inally hampering the nation in the
prosecution of the war.
I believe in organized labor, but
not in the organization which per-
mits nomination by narrow, un-
patriotic. selfish leadership which
exploits labor for the furtl1erance
of selfish ends at the expense OF
production. The highest ethclency
must prevail for the grertest ma
tional good in this war period, III
which strikes and losses in output
growing out of dissatisfaction are
more deplorable than in any pre-
vious time in Our history.
In the same spirit of loyalty |
detest the I. w. w. and their
doctrine as we'll as all others who
ridicule patriotism and openly or
covertly defy the National Govern
.ment and lend themselves to the
spreading of propaganda CT enemy
countries. They are no less enc
mics of the American people than
