REPUBLICANS ENDORSE ADMINISTRATION AND
 SCORE KU KLU KHAN

diers we have spent $1,500,OOO, ,OO0. Our party is neither forgetful nor ungrateful to its defenders. It is now engaged in the preparation of a bonus bill which partially, at least, will compensate the soldiers for the services rendered and the sacrifices made by them. We approve this poll icy and desire the passage of this bill before the present Congress adjourns. We deplore the obstructive tactics of the democratic party in the consider ation of this measure.
 Praise for Cameron
 "The republican senator from this state, the Honorable Ralph E. Cam eron, is heartily supporting the ad- ministration in these worthy under takings and is untiring in his efforts to present the needs of Arizona to the federal government and in help ing our citizens transact whatever business they have in the national capital. We commend him in his ef- forts and unqualifiedly approve the course he has adopted.
 Ku Klux Hard Hit
 "The republican party stands for law and order. We hold sacred the privileges of citizenship. The rights of individuals as guaranteed by the national and state constitutions must never be violated. With all our strength we shall oppose any man or group of men who advocate the vio- lation of these rights. When a man. is accused of crime let warrant issue for his arrest, confront him with his accuser, permit him to procure wit nesses in his own behalf, and give him a trial by jury of his peers. We condemn those men who would usurp the powers of the courts in this re- gard. Wherever an organization takes the law into it's own hands, and with out due process inflicts punishment on an accused person, it is violating the principles upon which the nation is founded. Such an organization has no place in American life.
 CampbelPs Administration
 "The state administration, under the leadership of Governor Campbell, has rendered efficient service and through its plans for the development of the commonwealth has won the ad- miration of the people generally. The land department is efficiently, eco- nomically and honestly administered. The people have confidence in it. In the leasing of lands no favoritism is shown, and for the first time the hardy men and women living on the land can secure their rights and trans act their business without expending large sums for the services of skilled and influential attorneys.
 Praise for Miss TOles
 "We are proud of our schools and we mean to support them. No officer has rendered better service than our superintendent of public instruction, Miss Elsie Toles, who at all times has had the backing of the state board of education. We believe in educa- tion and are willing to bear whatever financial burdens we shall have to carry to the end that every boy and girl in Arizona be given the oppor- tunity to acquire an education. We are proud of our university, it's growth and development, and at all times it shall have our support. Our best in- vestment is the money we spend on education.
 Endorse Road Policy
 "We endorse the administration road building policy. We desire to bring about the completion of the state highway system as it has been projected by the state highway de- partment. Under the direction of Thomas Maddock, state highway en- gineer, good roads have been built of great value to the people of the state. During period of depression many of our citizens were given em- ployment on the state highways. In this connection we commend the pol icy of our state engineer in giving | preference to ex-service men. Road building is essential to the develop | ment and the future prosperity of this | great young state so vast in extent | and rich in natural resources. We approve the departments policy of securing all the federal aid it can get.
 A High-class Executive
 Arizona has been fortunate in her governor. No other one of her citi- zens is more familiar with her needs. He represents no faction, is dictated to by no class, but at all times is rep | of all the people. The ex- tcutive departments under his leader ship are giving entire satisfaction. | The various state institutions are be- ing conducted efficiently and econom- ically. The development of the Colo rado river is receiving the most care full attention on the part of the gov ernor. We are with him in his sup port of the Smith-M -McNary bill and his opposition to the Swing bill. We realize that he keeps constantly in touch with the situation.
 "We appreciate the sentiments ex- pressed by the governor regarding his of the law and the pres ervation of order and by this resolu-
