torial central committed, you are espe- cialHy urged to devote whatever time may be necessary in cooperating with your county central committed. mayor of an incorporated city, or commercial organization within your county, in the selection of the accredited number of delegates from among the very best citizens of your county. Care should be exercised in the selection of only such delegates as will use every effort to attend the convention in person.
 The question of securing statehood for Arizona at this time is strictly bipartisan movement. and should have the individual effort and undivid- ed support of all citizens without re- gard to party affiliations.
 It is almost an assured fact that Ok lahoma will be admitted as state during the next session of congress. The governor of New Mexico has issued a call for a statehood convention to be held during the session of the territor- ial fair at Albuquerque next week. The movement for admission by the people of these two territories seems to be thoroughly well organized, and if we are to succeed in our own individual effort we must organize in like manner. A thorough organization is absolutely necessary if we desire freedom from territorial vassalage. If the people of this territory will show that thsy are in earnest in their desire for statehood, and will go before congress this com ing winter with a united effort and common cause, every present indica- ton and known fact bearing on this subject points to a successful issue.
 Please give this matter your earnest and most careful consideration.
 Respectfully,
 J. c. ADAMS. Chairman.
 Attest: w. c. FOSTER, Secretary.
 Governor Murphy left on Saturday night for Albuquerque. where he will address a statehood meeting to be held there on October If. He will be one oC the principal speakers on that occasion. The governor since last spring has ad- vocated that the territories, especially Arizona and New Mexico, work togetn- CT for statehood, for the admission of Oklahoma is practically assured. The admission of the other two will de- pend upon harmonious local effort, not only within each territory itself, but throughout both.
