TRYING TO BAM6oOZLE THE PEOPLE.

'fG TG0FIG.
 The omissiossof. the statehood ques. tion from the republican platform has placed the republicans on the defen- sive. Their efforts to bamboozle the people into the belief that no danger attaches to Arizona being united with New Aexico as one state is most cor set at naught, by Delegate Rodey of New Mexico. one of the most persistent and energetic workers that ever appeared in the House. While the willy politicians of tn z. O. D. in Arizona are circulating around and assuring the people that everything is 70. K."; that the joint statehood bill will never pass, and that the repub- licans will see that it does not, Del egate Rodey is hrstling over the Ter ritory of New Mexico, and preaching to the people over there that repub- lican success in New Mexico is abso- utely essential to joining Arizona and New Mexico. There is just the diff ference. Nav Mexico seeks union with Arizona regardless of how dis tasteful such miscegenation is to Ari- zona. New Mexico knows what an ad- vantage it would be to her to be taken into joint relationship with Arizona and for which there are many req sons. Arizona's name has gone out into the world as one of the greates. mineral states in all the country. and that fame is growing. Arizona is pro- ducing more, and her cost of taxa ton growing less so rapidly as to be startling. Arizona's population is in- screasing at an enormous rate, and while other states in the union are complaining of dull times" ArizoIa moves right along. as though there was no other state in the union. Therefore what has she to gain by go- ing into partnership with a Territory which can better her condition, not a can add nothing to her rep utation. can give her no greater glory than she herself possesses? II is merely an effort to pull the wool over the eyes of our people and bamboozie them to cover the deliberate slap in the face the National republican con vention gave to this territory when with cut and dried ticket they bowed and said yes to all that Theodore the First had prepared for them 10 gulp down.
 If the people of Arizona have any doubts upon this point they have only to witnes the names of repu olicar leaders in the Seaa.e and House from whom Rodey has assurances that they will support the mer,:sr 7i,l. Just take glance at these names and then ask if the g. O. op. is playing fair with the people of Arizona:
 Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives.
 Hon. Serene E. Payne, republican floor leader of the house
 Hon. John Dsizell. also a republi- can floor leader of the house.
 Hon E. L. Hamilton, chairman of the committee on territories of the house.
 Hon. B. F. spaulding, of North Da- sota.
 Hon. George L. Lilley of Connect icut.
 Hon. John A. Sterling of Illinois.
 Hon. A. L. Brick of Indiana.
 Hon. A. B. Capron of Rhode Island.
 The six latter are also of the com mittee on territories of the house.
 Letters approving of the merger have been received from the following
 Hon. B. s. Mcclure, delegate from Oklahoma.
 Hon. C. B. Landis of Indiana.
 Hon. H. c. Laudenslager of New Jersey.
 Hon. Jesse Overstreet of Indiana.
 Hon. James R. Mann of Illinois.
 Hon. J. w. Babcock of Wisconsin.
 Hon. J. A. T. Hull of Iowa.
 Hon. J. A. Tawney of Minnesota.
 Hon. Kittredge Haskins of Vermont
 Hon. H. c. Littlefield of Maine.
 Senator Henry E. Burnham of New Hampshire.
 Hon. John F. Lacey of Iowa.
 Hon. Robert W. Bonynge of Color ado.
 Hon. J. J. Mccarthy of Nebraska.
 Hon. James E. Watson of Indiana.
 Hon. E. Nj. Driscoll of New York.
 The slightest endorsement of the republican ticket in this territory this season is to be taken, and will be con- sidered so by the people of other states, as an endorsement of republican treachery to Arizona and a covering of the face to the double cross" handed the fair fame of this territory.
