whom was unabated. His brief but
touching allusion to Colonel Roose-
welt brought applause from the as
sembly, perhaps one of the few times
on record when the mention of that
illustrious man had evoked such rec
ognition from a Democratic gath
ering.
Colonel Greenway said that he had
become convinced that. the safety and
prosperity of the state lay in a re-
turn to Democratic principles The
burden of taxation which has been
recklessly placed upon the people,
said Colonel Greenway, must be re-
moved, and it rested with the Dem
ocratic party to afford the necessary
relief.
Says Sincerity Essential
The next speaker was +. G. Struck
meyer who deplored the schism OF
the Democracy Of the state in the
past, and by his tone. rather than
by his words, he questioned the sin
cerity of the representatives of the
two factions of the past. But, he
said, they must be sincere if De-
mocracy in Arizona is to succeed.
Labor and capital must lie down like
the lion and the lamb. side by side

Major George II. Kelly of the
Douglas international confined his
remarks to an arrangement of the
Republican administration for gross
extravaganza at time when the
need of the people was the most
rigid economy. He would not, how
ever, say that the administration was
wholly to blame; much of the blame
was to attach to the system. Other
speakers were Mr.. McCluckey. q la
Dor leader of Gila county. Judge +. B.
Lame OF Greenlee county, and Mrs.
Frances L. Munds of Yavapai, the
first woman senator of Arizona
Mrs. Munds said she would employ
her time telling the Democrats of
Arizona "a few things" She was yet
Democrat and would always be
one, as would the other ladies pres
ent in the hall. But there was wide
spread dissatisfaction among the
Democratic women of the state in
view of the attitude of neglect Of
the party in providing for the full
equality of women. A bill. designat-
! ed to carry into effect recommends
| tion of the national Democratic con-
vention fully establishing woman
equality, has passed the Republican
senate of the present legislature,
only to be defeated by the Demo-
cratic house.
Takes Lady to Task
Mrs. Munds was taken to task by
I National Committeeman Barnum
| who pointed to Mrs. Mckinney as a
shining example of that the Demo-
cratic party had done for women.
But it transpired that what Mrs
Munds desired was separate or
| ganization of women in accordance
with the mandate of the Woman's
party. Another speaker was Hon.
| Matt Cohen. an entertainer from
Kentucky, though a resident of the
valley for the last two years. Mr.
Cohen has lived here long enough
to have grapsed the drift of things
from a Democratic point OF view, He
took a fall out of the Republican
party generally and interlarded his
remarks with humorous stories. He
was formerly a member Of the Ken
tuoky legislature, served as secretary
of agriculture for Kentucky and was
a. candidate for secretary OF state
but was defeated on one of the three
occasions in a century when the state
went Republican. He attributed his
misfortune to lack of organization
and so held himself up as a horrible
example to Arizona Democrats, and
urged them to avoid that rock
After this, speakers were called for
