PARTY PLANKS
ADOPTED BY
DEMOCRACY

Tha executive council of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee
adopted Tuesday night at Phoenix,
a platform for the November gen.
eral election campaign, with shorter
hours for labor, amendment of the
direct primary law, and higher
tariff on foreign copper among It's
outstanding planks. R. A. Campbell
and Craig Pottinger are the Santa
Cruz members of the executive
council.
The platform with feeling far
more cf colemn gratitude than of
party pride" refers to "the leader
ship of Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
whose services to this country we
profoundly believe to have been
vouchsafed by Providence-even as
were the services of Washington,
Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson in
other grave emergencies to lead
the republic through it's darkest
hours, out of its deepest gloom"
Ey AccIamation
After an afternoon and early eve
ming of debate by the platform
committee, appointed at the statu-
torily required noon meeting of the
committee at the state capitol, the
document which was. prepared was
accepted with only minor changes
and by acclamation.
The only major difference OF
opinion which developed between
the platform as presented by the
committee, and the Maricopa coali-
ton groups which previously had
sought unSuccessfully to assume
control of the party's affairs, was
oyer the wording of the plank ad-
vocating amendment of the direct
primary law.
This was ironed out, with DR..
w. P. Sims, Maricopa county men,
Der of the platform committee, TAX
ing leading part as mediator.
The entire committee accepted a
plank unanimously which recon-
mendS to the 18th legislature
amendment of the present direct
primary law, and calls to it's atten-
ton for consideration and adoption
If found meritorious, a system
whereby run-off primary would
be held whenever a candidate fail
ed to receive a majority vote.
Labor Plank
The labor platform advocates
general reduction of hours in all
industry approaching the six-hours
day and the five-day week., con-
tinuation of the minimum wage
law as adopted by the last legisla-
ture, unemployment insurance, civil
service for all governmental units,
free text books in high schools, and
regulation by license fees of private
employment agencies.
The copper plank, in addition to
urging a tariff of 10 cents per pound
on foreign produced copper, recon-
mended purchase by the govern
ment OF all surplus copper stocks

federal government of public lands

as are necessary for the use of In

The congressional delegation is

only defense of the Arizona border
The platform committee which
wrote and presented the party doc
ument which brushed aside ru-
mored strife in the presentation of
campaign principles, was composed
of w. B. Kelly, Graham county,
chairman; Glenn Jacobs, Apache;
Martin l.. Gentry, Cochise; James
E. Flynn, Coconino: John E. Bacon,

having departed before the organ
ization meeting.

man w. P. Stuart of Prescott and
w. A. Sullivan, of Globe, committee
secretary, were named chairman
and secretary, respectively, of the
state council.
Council Session Brief
The actual sessions of the coun-
Gil were brief, most of the day be-
ing spent in executive conference
by the platform committee.
The debate over the direct pri-
mary plank was initiated by w. L.
/ Rigney of Maricopa county, after
the platform committee report had
been read. He said he had pre-
sented his ideas to the committee,
but that it had not acted on them.
Rigney favored a distinct avowal
by the party in favor of the run
off primary system, whereby no
aspirant for nomination could win
without receiving a majority of the
vote cast.
Chairman Kelly of the platform
committee explained that the pri-
mary situation had been discussed
at length, but because so many
different remedies had been advo-
Gated, the committee had decided
to leave the solution in the hands
of the legislature.
"The legislature has go days to
consider this question, said Kelly
"while we have had only a few
hours"
Rigney and the Maricopa delega-
tion acceded unanimously, after
brief argument, to an amendment
calling the attention of the legisla-
ture to the run-off primary system
as q possible solution.

and the administration as signify
ing the willingness of the admins

Both Parties To Profit

Judging by the reaction to Governor Wilbur l.. Cross's speech delivered at the Democratic State Central Committee meet inr in New Haven Wednesday republicans are as we'll advised of the need of secur- ing the independent vote in this state as are the democrats. We hope that no democrat has ever been lulled into the security of feeling that two successive vic tories by Governor Cross has definitely broken the republican regime here It will take more than that.
 And he said as much in his talk to the committee members. And the Hartford Courant was wise enough to pick up his remarks and call them to the attention of the republicans so that they might also profit. In short if all who were advised accept the words of wisdom this election of 1884 should be one of the most inter- esting of recent years. And the demo- crats, we are happy to say, are approach ing the polls in the proper frame of mind and with every intention of leaving no stone unturned to protect their interests.
 The Courant said among other things, eff the Governors 5000 in the first in- stance could not be wiped out by the re- publicans in the second instance, but on the contrary was jumped to 10000, 1t seems plain enough that ne Will De any thing but an easy target this coming Mo- vember. He certainly does not mean to be and there are no indications that the independent vote has taken slump. Therefore, does it not behoove the repub- lican party to accept as personal to itself the Governors advice not to pay compli- ments to friends but diligently seek Character and personality'?. ..."
 As to the makeup of the state and na- tional tickets we should say they would be of unusually high calibre this year. There has been so much discussion of can didates to date that only the outstanding can be secure of the necessary votes when convention time is here. There must be a !. distinct appeal made to the voters this fall. . The democrats in following Governor . Cross's counsel will be making the first step towards securing these voters.

The Goals In Sight

Much has been written and said about the drive to cleanse the motion picture in- dustry of the indecent and immoral film. Connecticut is even now in the throes of the campaign. Most Rev Maurice F. Me Auliffe, Bishop of Hartford, inaugurated it among the Roman Catholics by promul- gating pastoral letter which will be read from hundreds of pulpits tomorrow morn- ing. It is apparent that the effect of this call to arms is going to make it's mark on our movie theaters And thereby turks lesson.
 The movie magnates, not the theater owners and managers, but the men out In Hollywood, had all the intimations they wanted of this blow that now has been struck at them. They were given ample warnings, but refused to heed them. As one writer said, they thought that this crusade was just merely a periodical re- ligious outburst. Unfortunately for the producers they are going to live to repent their short foresight.
 Not only has the drive for decency on the screen succeeded among the Roman Catholics, where it started, but also in other religious denominations and even among people of no religious faith It IS surprising to note the response to the plea for members of Legion of Decency. It is surprising to note the manner in which men of all religious faiths follow the lead ership of the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. It only goes to show that at heart the American peoples are moral race.
 Let us hope that we have reached a point in our progress where stop IS to be called on human filth It isn't neces- sary to bring up children on entertain ment which glorifies the criminal and the moral pervert. Other types will appeal to us. The moral forces of life have their place in education. It isn't necessary to depict life in the raw to give us a sense of values. Smut has to go, so let's all agree on it.

Reciprocity Treaties

power delegated to the President by Con- gress, for reciprocal reduction of duties, concessions will be proposed, hearings will be held at Washington on July 23, and the terms agreed on may go into effect next month. It is expected that Cuba will get a reduction of 50 per cent on sugar, and will make compensating tariff cuts on inn ports for this country.
 That is the maximum reduction allowed, and is equal to the range which was au- thorized downward or upward under the old law Formally, however, the initiative had to come from the Tariff Commission. Now the President can take the initia. tive. The next pact may be with Canada, which in recent years has usually been our
