Arizona republican., 1905-05-28

believe that the union of the two ter ritories as ore state would be inimi- cal to the best and highest interests of the people of both and because of the differences in our history, laws, customs and races, and because of the geographical divisions which naturally separate and divide us, such union would be particularly harmful to the people of Arizona.
 We believe that the complications which would inevitably result from an attempt to adjust impartially the bur dens of the debts of the territories and of the various counties and munich palities thereof, would result in ire concilable differences and that the prosperity and welfare of the various territorial institutions, educational. eleemosynary and reformatory, would be endangered and their usefulness destroyed.
 We further believe it would be inn possible to adopt such a code of laws as would meet the conditions in each territory and yet which would be just to the whole people of the proposed state. We further represent that poli- tical autonomy is the dearest wish and hope of our people, and the stimulus of much of our work, labor and effort in establishing institutions which have for their object the education of our children and the care and maintenance of the unfortunate, in the improvement and growth of our material interests, and in the development of our distinc- tive type of civilization; and that the loss of this autonomy would destroy our hope, discourage effort, confuse our purposes for the future, retard our de- velopment and permanently injure us as a people.
 To be compelled against our will and desire to lose our indentity and to be merged into the proposed state in which we would have so little voice wounds our pride and violates our sense of justice and fairness.
 Therefore, as a patriotic and law abiding people we confidently appeal to the congress of the United States to avert the disaster that threatens us, and rather than force upon us this proposed union, to allow us to remain territory indefinitely.
 Mir Perkins of Apache reported the plan for the formation of the league and it in turn was unanimously ap- proved OF a motion of Bo Whitesides.
 Chairman Kibbey announced that the next thing in order would be the selec- ton of a president of the league. In stantIy c. M. Shannon of Graham county was on his feet to propose the name of J. c. Adams of Phoenix, and it was seconded by Santa Cruz. Sim ultaneously w. B. CIeary secured the floor and in a spell binding speech started the excitement of the evening. lie told how hard a political fighter he was and how often he had been knocked down; could even yet hear the reecho of the latest dull thud he had received. But it taught him to love and respect his enemies, especially his political enemies who were true to their colors so he knew where to find him. He said it was a pleasure there fore, even though he was a democrat to nominate a republican, one who held the highest office in the territory. He said he had already asked this man to serve and he had declined as he thought it would not be right, proper or expedient for him to do so, but MT. Cleary believed he was the man for the

the course of the deliberations, pre- judice should be controlled. He be- lieved that if the case of the territory could be laid before congress strongly and in the proper manner there would be found enough fairness there to see that justice would be done.
 Former Delegate Wilson concluded the speech making Of the afternoon. He had a full realization of the danger He had gone through the mill and now his successor Mir. Smith had been call ed upon to face the ordeal. There was he said no use to discuss the merits of the case. It was we'll understood in a general way that the jointure would be inimical in the highest degree to the interests of the territory. Yet even the people of Arizona might not un- derstand the full force of the reasons why there should be no joint statehood. It was now the business of the gentle men at the head of this movement to make these reasons known everywhere and so arouse the highest enthusiasm on the subject. We must rely" said the speaker, upon the developed sen timent of the territory"
 Following the address of the former delegate there was discussion as to the hour to which the convention should adjourn. Finally a recess was taken until eight o'clock.
 The convention, at all time enthusi- astic was provoked to a wild outburst of applause by the reading of a letter presented by Governor Kibbey. The governor said that he had received many letters and telegrams regarding the movement and all of them were encouraging They had come from all parts of the territory and all parts of the country. He had decided to read none of them but this letter was slight ly different from the others. The writer regretted his inability to be

present but he enclosed a check for $100 to help the cause along and to as- sist in preventing Arizona from being made a vermiform appendix to New Mexico. This was preventive surgery. There was a clamor for the name and it was finally given to the convention. The writer was M J. Riordan of Flag staf.
 It appeared on the surface that the evening session would be merely the turning of the crank and the formal grinding out of the convention product, namely the official roster of the Anti Joint Statehood League of Arizona then in process of evolution. But if anybody had such an idea his mind was dis abused of it within five minutes after the proceedings begun. Never was there a witticr or more good humored aggregation assembled in convention and never YVES so much novelty and enthusiasm wrought out of so har- monious a gathering. It became all most a rough house in the efforts of the respective delegations to shower honors on each other and on the gen tlemen recognized as their leaders.
 The Indian band had given several selections finally blending its instru- menus III lne harmony OL the star Spangled banner, when the assemblage instinctively arose and the gentlemen who occupied the stage in the fore noon, led by the convention officers, filed back into their places. Chairman Kibbey rapping for order announced the reading of the report of the com mittee on permanent organization and order of business, which was first that the temporary organization be made permanent, and which announcement was met with loud applause. The next order was that each county be entitl- ed to four votes for each representa- tive it has in the legislature, a total of IA. The next suggestion was that all resolutions be referred to commit tee without debate and finally, was re- ported the plan for the formation of

place and should accept. Then he named the chairman Of the convention, Governor Kfbbey.
 The convention went wild with en- thusiasm as Governor Kibbey arose and restoring order declined positively to accept and stating many reasons for his action. Eugene Brady O'Neill secured the floor to say that Governor i<ibbey was the Moses who had smitten the rock and got water in this country and he was the Moses who should lead Arizona out of the wilderness. Wiley F. Jones of Graham county county asked for recognition. The chairman said he would recognize him if his pur- pose was to add to the list of nominees.
 MT. Jones did not commit himself until he got the floor. Then he began an impassioned appeal to the governor to accept. Finally he jumped upon press table and swinging his hands wildly in the air demanded of the gov ernor to accept the crown. He said it was a unanimous demand that ought not to be denied. There was not voice in protest and the impulse of the hour should be needed. In his eX- tremity, while he yet held the floor, or rather the table. MT. Jones put the mo- ton and it being unanimous he declar- ed Governor Kibbey elected.
 The chair tried to get the floor and MT. Adams came forward and intro duced the chairman as the president of the league. The chair recognized that the convention was two laps ahead of him but he was equal to the occasion. He therefore declared himself elected and then exercising the prerogative of a president, resigned.

| the league. This plan differed in no respect from that previously presented as a tentative plan, except that in ad- | dition to the vice presidents for each county, who shall serve as the presid- | ing officers of the respective county or = ganizations, there should also be nom mated by the respective delegations a secretary for each county to be ratified by the convention. The committee report was adopted on mo- ton of E. J. Edwards put by Robert iI. Morrison for the reason that the temporary officers were concerned. It was unanimously carried and Chair man Kibbey rendered his thanks in a brief speech of appreciation. 80 Whiteside of Santa Cruz the champion of the Phoenix Board of Trade arose at this juncture and moved that that organization be also given eight votes in the convention. It car ried of course with a laugh.
 Judge F. E. Sloan, acting for Chief Justice Kent, chairman of the com mittee on resolutions who was un- avoidably detained next presented the committees report which was received with vociferous cheers and adopted by rising vote, and the text of which is as follows:
 RESOLUTIONS.
 We, the members of the Anti-Join Statehood convention chosen from ev- cry political subdivision. and repre- senting the people of the territory of Arizona, in convention assembled do hereby declare:
 l Whereas, We have reasons to fear that at the coming session of congress an attempt will be made to enact a law providing for the admission into the union jointly as one state of the | territories of Arizona and New Mex ico. and,
 1 Whereas, We have been authorized and directed by the people of Arizona to give an expression of their views in regard to sucn proposed union, Now therefore be it resolved that the people of Arizona are unalterably op- posed to the union of Arizona with New Mexico.
 And, on their behalf we do earnestly protest against the enactment of the proposed measure by the congress of the United States, or of any measure which has for its purpose the admis- sion of Arizona into the Union as a part of any other state or territory,
 And, believing that all governments derive their just powers from the con- sent of the governed. we urge the con- gress to heed this expression of the sentiments of our people on this ques- ton and to listen to some of the req sons why we will never consent to the proposed union.
 Our people feel a just pride in their history, prosperity, development and nigh civilization, and confidently look to the future for the realization. through the development of our won derful resources and by reason of the splendid energy and character of our citizenship of still higher civilization and more general prosperity and to the time, near at hand. when our qualifi- cations, by reason of our wealth, pop ulation and development, to single statehood must be recognized by the whole people of America
 We entertain for the people of our sister territory New Mexico, the kind Hest feelings, and sympathize with them in their efforts for admission as a state of the Union. Yet, we profoundly

others addressed the convention, all paying tribute to the governor but agreeing with that official that his stand was the judicious one to take. A motion carried closing nominations after which on a motion of J. F. Ma honey of Navajo county, J. C. Adams was unanimously chosen for president and introduced by the chairman. Mir. Adams spoke but a minute or two in which he pledged himself to the cause and urged that the organization be giv- en the continued support of the con- vention as enthusiastically as it was TOW offered.
