THE DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY
OPEN TO MOCRAuC PARTY

This is election year in Arizona
and as we enter the month of
March candidates are in training
for the political race billed for
the primaries ia September and
general election ia November.
The majority of the candidates
in both political parties will
stand before the electorate with
out q platform. and if they have
q personal platform, it is liable
to upset when the party council
is held at Phoenix.
Under our ridiculous election
laws candidates of each party
are nominated first. and the
party program is adopted later,
with the result that we have the
spectacle of q candidate in the
primary making declarations
contrary to q legislative program
promised by the party council.
Heretofore party platforms in
Arizona have been hastily thrown
together on the spur of the mo
ment and adopted by the party
councils, intended rather for a
vote catching divice, than a
solemn and binding declaration
by the party as to what the elec.
torate may expect in the event
the candidates of the party are
elected.
Platform making by the two
political parties in Arizona has
heretofore been a frivolous un.
dertaking. The platform is bur.
riedly wsitten and quickly for
gotten. Legislatures meet and
adjourn without any thought of
making good platform pledges.
Conditions have come to pass
in Arizona which demand a
change of procedure and the
door of opportunity is wide open
for the Democratic party. thru

mittee. to give thought to the
important questions confronting
the people of Arizona in the ap

The Democratic party of Ari

GENERAL CRUZ
CROSSES INTO
THIS COUNTRY

After nearly nine months of hid
ing and privation in the mountains
of southern Sonora in fear of his
life, General Roberto Cruz, one of
the last of the Escobar revolution
airy leaders, crossed the interna-
tional border at Nogales Saturday
and instead of a hunted rebel, be-
came a free alien.
His passage into this country was
made possible by the Mexican gov
ernment itself, which had given
him free passage and escort to the
border, after he had surrendered to
federals at El Fuerte.
General Cruz was accompanied
by his wife. He reached the border
at / p m. Saturday and was pas
sed into the United States at 2 p.
m. Col. Juan Rico, commander of
the Mexican garrison at Nogales,
assisted him in a safe trip to the
border, on instructions from the
Mexican war department. He was
accompanied into the United States
by Eugene Sidell, immigration in
Spector.
He expressed himself happy to be
in this country and for the kind
ness of the Mexican government,
which allowed him free passage to
;he border, instead of standing him
before q firing squad, fate which
! number of his brother officers of
The revolution met. He is a former
chief of police of Mexico City, and
S well known throughout Mexico.
General Cruz was with General
Francisco Manzo in the attack on
Mazatlan last spring and was
wounded in that engagement, and
after the revolution was several
lines reported captured and execut-
I'd by the federals.
He will make his home in Tue
