The democratic party of Arizona
in party council assembled, boldly
condemns and denounces what are
known as the Invisible Empire and
the Ku Klux Khan as an undemo-
cratic, anti-christian and un-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 various and outspoken denunci-
alton of Ku Kluxism
The democratic party is now, as
ever, the firm friend of honest labor
and the promoter of progress in in
dustry. 1t reneWS its declaration that
labor is not commodity; it is human.
Those who labor have rights, and the
national security and safety depend
upon a just recognition 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 injunction in
labor and political controversies.
The democratic party recognizes
that the employment of an espionage
system in industry is the most pro-
life cause of breeding hatred, sus-
picion and discomfort between employ
er and employee. 1t declares against
the continuance of the employment of
private detectives or operatives for the
deception of employees or the sinister
influence of their activities, and
pledges its candidates to the enact
ment of such legislation as will rem
edy 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 individ-
uals or corporation is vicious in
| theory, and sinister in it's application
We condemn the practice under
which such condition prevails and
pledge our candidates to enact and
enforce such legislation as will elimi-
nate 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 resent
ment 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
f1cult or impossible to promote un-
der conditions where the majority OF
the inhabitants of community are
under industrial repression. The
democratic party pledges its Candi
dates to enact and enforce such legis-
lation as will destroy forever in Ari-
iona practices which menace the
Americanization of our communities
We pledge the democratic party tt
the protection and continuance upor
the statutes of this state of their laws
designed for the protection of labor
The laws of the state of Arizona
through thirteen years of regular anC
| special sessions of the Legislature
court interpretations and amendments
and partial, unsatisfactory and incon
sistent revisions have placed the stat
ute laws of this state in a deplorablt
condition
We pledge the earliest practical re
