Walter Moore Comments on Outcome at the Polls
 Monday

Walter Moore. who was a pro- nounced opponent of every measure submitted to the electorate, Monday. yesterday made the following state n,ent on the outcome:
 "The result was no surprise to me and I feel much gratified at the de- feat of every proposition that was submitted and fully repaid for every effort I made on the opposition line. The verdict of the people at the polls shows that vast majority of our electorate are thoughtful, con servatiye and patriotic and that they have the welfare of the city, the present and future generations, at constructive measures for the uplift of the city and are guarding against over burdening the people old and young.
 T can well understand the view of those who opposed us in our suc cessful effort to preserve the credit of the city. They entertain the idea that we need fine and more elaborate school buildings. spacious parks and playgrounds, public auditoriums of mammoth and gorgeous dimensions. and were anxious to grasp the pres ent receptive tone of the bond market. let the financial consequence to the city and the tax payers be what it may. They failed to be impressed with the thought that there is to be future financial accounting, which would bear down heavily upon this and future citizenship and bring us into bankruptcy. thus. retarding rather than prospering the growth of Birmingham.
 T am In full accord with that great majority which recorded it's vote on Monday, that 1t Is better to maNe haste slowly. conservatively anG soundly than to build without foun- dalton to be followed by wreck. ruin and disappointment Our schools are going straight along without enormous bond issues There will be seat for every child and a shelter for his head, and year by year as the number of children increase other school houses and more teachers will be employed. I look upon Mondays result as a victory rather than de- feat of our public school system not withstanding the threat of the ad- vocates of the bond issue that our schools would go to the "demnition bow vows" if the people voted neg atively on the monstrously expensive and unwise propositions submitted to them on Monday.
 Birmingham is all right and once again has demonstrated the wisdom of her electorate"

Mob Violence Condemned By Citizens Last Night
 Al Public Mass Meeting

''By the eternal it shall not hap pen againw
 With renewed faith in the suprem- acy of law. upwards to 500 law abiding citizens enraged and embit- tered because of the outrageous at tack upon the person of pr. J. D. Bowling, in these words expressed themselves last night.
 The meeting was held at Woodrow Wilson park.
 With sentiment crystalllzed to a degree against such thrusts at the basic foundation of civilized law, seven of Birminghams most promi- nent and representative leaders in the business and professional life of the city addressed the meeting.
 These men," said Frank Dominick, have taken the stand that they are bigger than the law under which they exist. Let us then resolve that we twill leave no steps unturned to prove to them that the sanctity of the law will not be violated and exemplify the majesty of the government which they strike at the very foundation when they take the law in their own hands to punish one single citizen because he failed to agree with them in matters which call for the perform anoe of duty"
 Tribute Paid Bowling
 Throughout the mass meeting which assembled last night each speaker paid tribute to the man who fell victim to severe flogging when called from his home ostensibly to render medical aid to a wounded man. and while in his act of mercy was waylaid by the treaoherous bandits.
 T say to you that Dr. Bowling was Q oreft ham Lincoln himself" assorted c, P. Beddow, who bitterly arraigned the crime against the health officer. Such men who do these acts of violence are CUTS and towards, and while they may be at your very el- bow at this moment, they haven't the moral courage to show their face in the open sunlight,
 "Dr. Bowling did his duty as he saw it," continued Mir. Beddow, "and whether you do your duty or not. if this thing Is to be countenaneed. you may be their prey tomorrow.
 It is sad commentary that man, living in free country and walking amongst honest men, should find 1t necessary to become walking arsenal in order to protect himself against law1ess mob. Let us re- solve, being peaceful and righteous people, to bring about new order"
 Dcfies Masked Bandits
 Mir Beddow flung defiance into the face of any organization, which he said he did not doubt had members present. who parade the highways masked and armed for whatever pur- pose they went forth to accomplish. '1tet them show their faces to the sun where freemen might know the duty they pursue"
 Borden Budd declared 1t "a shame we haven't spoken sooner, and whether he be criminal or not, ban ish forever such means of visiting punishment upon any man or woman without due process of law"
 Mir. Burr paid tribute to that gal lant band of men, who during the carpet bag regime of the old south. took upon themselves the salvation of the laws under which their fath- CTS lived and downed carpetbag rule Things are different is this mod ern day and we find that our laws are just, giving equal rights to all,' he said.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM INCLUDES
 PLANK ID REVISE ELECTION LAWS

for the soldiers Attention is called to the fact that a Democratic Ari- zona legislature was among the first to submit comprehensive and work able soldiers settlement measure, providing for cooperation with the federal government, but the procras- tination of the federal government, under the control of the Republican party, has rendered the measure in effective.
 Personal Liberty and Law Enforce
 ment
 The Democratic party has always stood for freedom of religion, free dom of speech, freedom of the press and the right of the people to be secure in their persons, homes and property, as guaranteed by the con- stitution.
 The right of citizens to exercise the electoral privilege and to vote and have voice in the selection of our public officials is sacred right which has rightfully been pro- tected by legislation national and state The right to hold and fill of fees by election and appointment is even more precious than the right to VOJe- we plcuSe tue party to enact legislation to prohibit all actions and movements by indi- viduals and organizations designed to defeat candidates for election or ap- pointment to public office because of their religious beliefs or affiliations.
 We pledge the Democratic party of Arizona to combat with unabated vigor any organization which under takes to arrogate to itself the func- tions and duties conferred by law upon peace officers and courts in the administration of public justice.
 We especially condemn acts of that un-American and masked aggrega- tion known as the Ku Klux Klan, as being subversive of the great prin- ciples of liberty and freedom upon which this Republic was founded. Commentator for Faithful Servants
 We warmly commend and recom- mend for election ArizOna's Demo cratic United States Senator, Henry F. Ashurst, and Congressman Carl Hayden, for their able an untiring efforts in behalf of their state and their country; in defense of the ideals of their party, and in opposition to Newberryism and every form Of political shame and disgrace which the name implies.
 Home Ownership
 The primary unit of American gov ernment is the home. The best guaranty of the maintenance of those principles of liberty, law and order upon which our government is found- ed is through the increase Of home ownership in our state and nation. It is through home ownership that people become attached to our soil and become permanent citizens and contribute to the progress and devel- opment of our state. The weakness of a government is in proportion to it's tenantry, and no state or nation can build to it's highest degree Of economic, social or political eff ciency through a citizenry of tenants.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1922-10-06

Home ownership IS made possible only through encouragement given it by such legislation as will foster the ownership of homes. We pledge our candidates to vote for and en- force such legislation as will tend to increase home ownership.
 The Democratic party pledges to the people of Arizona new and greater prosperity in the growth and development of the state; pros perity which will be real democratic prosperity, reaching every citizen of the state.
 The democratic party appeals to the people of the state for the sup port of it's platform of principles and especially invites the first voters, those young men and young women just ready to participate in the con- duct of the government of their country, to join the Democratic party and to actively identify them selves with this organization of vot- CTS which has stood faithful to the principles of liberty and has fought valiantly for the maintenance of the

rights of the people equally m the dark hour of defeat as when trium- phant in victory and clothed with power.
 Confidence in Victory
 Upon this platform the Democracy of Arizona goes forth to the ap- preaching contest confident of vic tory. Upon these issues there is no spot where the enemy will dare to challenge battle. The great body or intelligent citizens will realize that they can find the best expression of their ideals in a Democratic party which has conscience and the cour- age to be truly democratic.
