The Republican party is condemned
in no uncertain terms for its mex
cusable and 1unconscionable neglect
and refusal to make use Of the funds
available for this worthy purpose,
and to vitalize the intent and pro-
visions Of a thoughtful and Demo-
cratic people.
Constitutional Rights, Freedom
OF Religion, Speech and Press
The Democratic party reaffirms
it's adherence and devotion to those
cardinal principles contained in the
Constitution AID the precepts upon
which Our government is founded,
that congress shall make, no laws
respecting the establishment of re-
ligion, Or prohibiting the free ex-
ercise thereof, or abr!dging the free
dom Of speech or OF the press, or
the right of the people peaceab!y
to assemble and t. petition the gov
ernment for a redress Of grievances.
| that the church and the state shall
be and remain separate, and that
no religious test shall ever be re-.
quired as qualification to any office
| of public trust under the United
States. These principles we pledge
ourselves ever to defend and main
| tain. We insist at all times upon
obedience to the orderly processes
of the law and deplore and con-
denim any effort to arouse religious
or racial dissension.
The Democratic party of Arizona
| in party council assembled, boldly,
Iemphatically and without reservation
condemns and denounces what are
known as the Invisible Empire and
| the Ku Klux Klan as an undemo-
/ cratic,s anti-christian and un-A -Ameri-
can organization.
We congratulate the Democrats of
Oklahoma, Texas and other states
| in purging the party Of the Ku Klux
menace, and we felicitate our stand
ard bearer for president, Honorable
| John w. Davis, and for governor,
Honorable George w. P. Hunt, for
| their vigorous and outspoken de-
nunciation of Ku Kluxism.
Labor
uC ~pdlIy lS AOW, dC
ever, the firm friend of honest labor
and the promoter of progress in in
dustry. 1t renews it's declaration
| that labor is not a commodity; it
| is human. Those who labor have
rights, and The national security and
safety depend upon a just recogni-
| tion of those rights and concepts.
The Democratic party in state and
nation has taken the initiative in
curbing the use Of the writ of in
| junction in labor disputes, and
pledges it's candidates to continue
to support measures which will free
the toilers from the abuse Of the in
junction in labor and political con-
| troversies.
The Democratic party recognizes
that the employment Of an espionage
system in industry is the most pro-
lific cause of breeding hatred, sus-
picion and discomfort between en-
ployer and employe. 1t declares
against the continuance of the enl-
ployment Of private detectives or
operatives for the deception Of en-
ployes or the sinister influence Of
their activities, and pledges it's candi-
dates to the enactment Of such legis-
lation as will remedy this evil.
The policy of giving the status
of peace officers. whether under the
guise Of deputy sheriffs or constables,
to private guards or watchmen en-
ployed and paid by private inditid-
uals or corporations is vicious in
theory, and sinister in it's applica-
tion We condemn the practice un-
der which such condition prevails
aud pledge our candidates to enact
and enforce such legislation as will
eliminate this evil.
We condemn the practice of. any
employer in attempting to control
the laboring mans pay check after
he has earned the same.
We pledge our candidates to the
enactment and the enforcement Of
such legislation as will create and
establish the right to full enjoyment
of citizenship and local self-govern-
ment to the inhabitants of all COM
munities.
We condemn the efforts of social
control Of large groups of employees
as definite effort to peoniZe our
laboring classes, which breeds re-
sentiment and hatred and is chief
among the causes of much Of the
industrial unrest which is prevalent
throughout the state and nation.
Good American citizenship is diff
ficult or impossible to promote un-
der conditions where the majority
of the inhabitants of community
are under industrial repression. The
Democratic party pledges it's candi-
dates to enact and enforce such legis
lation as will destroy forever in Ari-
zona practices which menace the
An REORGANIZATION of our communities.
We pledge the Democratic party
to the protection and continuance
upon the statutes Of this state of
those laws designed for the protec-
ion Of labor.
Code Codification
The laws of the State Of Arizona
through thirteen years of regular and
special sessions Of the Legislature,

ments, and partial, unsatisfactory
and Inconsistent revisions have
