soldiers. Attention is called to thu
TACT that democratic Arizona Legis
lature was among the first to submit
comprehensive and workable soldier
settlement measure, providing for co
operation with the federal government
but the procrastination of the federal
government, under the control of the
republican party, has rendered the
measure ineffective
Personal Liberty and Law En-
forcement
The democratic party has always
stood for freedom of religion, freedom
of speech, freedom of the press and
the right of the people to be secure in
their persons, homes and property as
i guaranteed by the Constitution.
We pledge the democratic party Of
Arizona to combat with unabated Wig
or any organization which undertakes
to arrogate to itse.f the functions and
duties conferred by law upon. peace
officers and courts, in the administra-
ton of public justice,
We specifically condemn acts of
that un-American and masked aggrega-
ton known as the Ku Kluy Klan, as
being subversive of the great princi
pies Of liberty and freedom upon
which this Republic was founded.
Commentator for Faithful Services
We warmly commend and recon-
mend for denomination and election
Arizona's Democratic United States
Senator. Henry F. Ashurst, and Con-
grcssman Car Hayden, for their able
and untir'ng efforts in behalf of their
state end their country; in defense
of the ideals cf their party and in
opposition to Newbc-ryigm and every
form of political shano and disgrace
which the name implies
Home Ownership
The primary unit of American gov
ernment is the home. The best guar
anty Of the maintenance of those prin-
cirles of liberty aw and order upon
which our government is founded is
through the increase OF home owner
ship in our state and nation It is
through home ownership that people
become attached to our soil and be,
come permanent citizens and contri.
butte to the progress and development
of our state The weakness Of gov.
ernment is in proportion to its tenan-
try, and no state or nation can build
to it's highest degree of economic, So
cia, or political efficiency through a
citizenry of tenants. Home ownership
is made possible only through the en-
couragement given it by such legis,
lation as will foster the ownership Of
homes.
ne pledge OR candidates to vote for
and enforce such legislation as will
tend to increase home ownership
The democratic parry pledges to the
peop,e of Arizona a new and greater
prosperity in the growth and develop
ment of the state; a prosperity which
will be real democratic prosperity,
reaching every citizen of the state.
The democratic party appeals to the
people of the state for the support
of its platform OF principles and es.
pecially invites the first voters, those
young men and young women Just
ready to participate in the conduct of
the government of their country, to
join the democratic party and to ac.
lively identify themselves with this |
of voters which has stood |
faithful to the principles of liberty |
and has fought valiantly for the main
tenance of the rights of the people !
equally in the dark hour of defeat as
when triumphant in victory and cloth.
I'd with power.
Confidence in Victory
Upon this platform the democracy
Of Arizona goes forth to the approach.
