 Platform of the Republican Party of
 Arizona, 1918
 The Republican party council duly assembled at the capitol in Phoenix on the first day of October, 1918, hereby adopts the following program:
 The Republican party of the state of | Arizona declares that the employment l of the entire man power, and of all 1 the physical, financial and industrial resources of the nation in the prose- cution of the war to a complete vic tory, transcends all other questions before the state and nation. We de- clare that it is the supreme task of the civilized world to crush the German military autocracy until it has ceased to be a menace We demand victory so complete and conclusive that it will insure civilization against another war for Teutonic domination.
 We accord to the brave men of our country, who have already laid down their lives for the cause of liberty. to ! lUOSc WHO are llSHlillS IOl us ONci Stdo and, to those who are about to go, the honor and gratitude they so richly de- serve, and we hail with pride the splendid victories already achieved by American arms.
 We are proud of those leaders and members of the Republican party in congress who have given such splen- did support to the present administra- tion and have rendered such effective aid in the enactment of the great war measures. We deplore the disposition wherever manifest to make the war a partisan affair and to capitalize po- ltically war activities. We insist that the business of war upon which the country is now engaged is the business of all the people of this land 1rrespec- tive of political affiliations. We condemn the I. W. W. whose ob- ject is to embarrass the nation in the prosecution of the war. We main tain that there is no place in the coun- try today for those disloyal in act teachings or thought. We abhor the tendency among some officials ot the l state, and candidates for office, tt cater to those who are attempting to , impede the efficiency of the nation 1T the present struggle.
 we contend that ilOIi. llloiiidS i1 l Campbell was duly elected governor oi : Arizona in 1916 by the voters of the : state. We are convinced that the de- cision of the court. by which he wa; deprived of his office and the com pensation for his services, was purely a political one and not in accord witt the facts in the case. We are satisfied ! that the great majority of the people O . . the state of Arizona are convinced tha . he was legally elected to that office : and that. in a sense of fair play, they , will re-elect him by an overWhelmns majority.
 By the reelection of Governo Campbell. a government that shall b' F. marked by efficiency and economy. b. a broad and impartial consideration that shall be given to the claims 0 il | every interest and of every section ant n above all. to the loyalty of the ma , tional government the times so i'm : perativelv demand. will be assured t :. the people of the state
 V We urge in this connection the i'm portance of the election of our entir y state ticket and of a legislature tha
 will be in accord with the state ad
