Arizona republican., 1918-09-09

members are being carried on at this time in a number of camps.
 Yet the governor, knowing all this, proceeded to deliver his famous message to the recent legis- lature, in which he damned the em- ployers of the state and their friends and hugged to his bosom the poor little I. w. W.-saying if there was such a thing in Arizona the best way to get rid of them was to simply ignore them-maintain an eloquent silence
 Now, five of these men whom the governor would have had ignored were taken out of Arizona by tho government. and have just been convicted in Chicago by a federal jury-that deliberated less than forty minutes-and given long peni- tentiary sentences. Not only the acts of these men but the very doc Urine of the order was the cause of these convictions.
 If there were 5000 men in Ari- zona belonging to an order that espoused the doctrine that it is right to steal or to kill, in the ordinary meaning of the term; if they were doing this openly, would you not be one to come out and take a strong stand against these men, or would you simply be content to say: T am against disloyalty of all kinds whether it is with these men-or the mine managers-or those Phoe- nix men who hung that poor devil not long ago-I am against all law breakers and let it go at that?
 Did you ever stop to think that the doctrine of the Industrial Work CTS of the World-certainly the preachments of it's members-is to the effect that it is proper for them to get their rights any way pos sible? Ask any man. who ever worked around a mining camp if this is not true. It is a common remark to hear. wen get what's coming to us-our rights-or we'll blow these blanky- ty- blanks off the map Suppose a man made that kind of a remark about you, per sonally, would you simply ignore him?
 Why should any man hesitate to declare himself openly against the I. W. W. menace. Has not the United States government declared war against these industrial Dir ates? Isn't Uncle Sam's judgment sufficiently good for standard? We say, yes,
 And furthermore, that, while we are not having the outlaw strikes of a year ago. nor the incendiary fires-we KNOW that this menace is here-simply hiding it's claws. And we purpose, and every loyal man should so purpose. to do all within human power to eradicate the evil knowing that Arizona can not and will not get outside capital new capital-to come in and join forces with us so long as we coun- tenance such conditions as have existed in the recent past. /
 Just now a governorship contest is being staged in Arizona-and the is-will Governor Hunts mantle settle complacently upon the shoul- ders of either of the aspirants
 It is not so much question Of who Governor Hunt is backing. as it is. which of these candidates are backing up the ideas and policies of the governor. It is not primarily the man in which we are concerned it is the principle. We believe that all men are inherently honest and mean well. About the only differ ence in men is the basic principles that govern them; principles that have become a part of the man. And if it so happens that of the several men who are candidates for governor that only one of them has had taught, pounded, or imbeded into his very being the proper rev erence or loyalty to his country. SD that he sees that the greatest issue in Arizona now is: How shall We view the I. w. w. menace and how shall we deal with the same" then it is up to every good citizen to lend his support to that man.
 There is an old doctrine which is as old as the hills-no man can serve two masters. or two prin- ciples. One is either for thing or is against if. Are we for I. w. w. ism or are we not?
 Fred Sutter has the backbone to come out and take a MANS stand against the I. W. w. The other democratic candidates either have not the nerve to so do-else they are in sympathy with the Hunt policies af fre -I~
