evident that workingmen in every in

oughly aroused to the vital importanc
Of the coming campaign to their every
interest and are going to take COM
pelling part in naming the men and
women who will fill city, county and
state offices the coming year and the
years to follow. Comittees to cover
every phase of the work of the cam
paign are being appointed and the
county campaign committees are au-
thorized to appoint additional COM
mittees and to add to them as occa

are being threatened by law-making

OF a democratic form of government
be maintained in this country and the
liberties of the people preserved.
Here in Maricopa county was the
only point where any disposition was
shown to depart from the program of
the American Federation of Labor to

attempt to establish a third party
movement. 1t was advocated by small
