 EVENING SESSION.
 To be devoted to business directed by the convention. The committee of arrangement, appointed by the board of trade has the following tentative program and plan to suggest. These suggestions are made with a view to simpiying the work of the convention and expediting its labors:
 TENTATIVE PLAN OF ORGANlZA-
 TON.
 That an Arizona anti-joint statehood league be organized.
 That all Arizonians who oppose joint statehood of New Mexico and Arizona shall. at their own option, be deemed members, with all the privileges of members.
 That the officers of the league con sist of president, vice president for each county, a secretary ana a treas urer, all of whom are to be chosen by
 
 tary and treasurer by the whole con- vention, and the several vice presi- dents by the convention upon the nom ination of a majority of the repr esen- tatfves at this convention of the re- specGve counties.
 It is suggested that the president of the league, and its secretary, be se- lected from the same locality, and that the place of their residence be the headquarters of the league.
 It is further suggested that the vice presidents shall constitute an execu- tive committee, which shall be charg- ed with the work of formulating the work of the league, and directing it's performance. and be charged with the full management of the league.
 It Is further suggested that each vice president shall be the president os the local league, subordinate and auxiliary to the territorial league, to be Organized under the auspices of the territorial league, in each of the sev- eral counties. That the various coun- ty organizations, organized under the proposed plan, shall be known as and discharge the functions of the ........ ............ (naming the county) county auxiliary anti-joint statehood league.
 The purpose of the organization of .l-- ,-s.1 l,aD HDr to oppose and defeat joint statehood with New Mexico.
 COMMITTEE MEETING.
 The reception committee held final meeting last night. It was requested that all members of that committee be on hand early this morning to look after the interest of visitors. A sub committee was appointed to attend to the seating of delegates as they arrive at the opera house, directing each one to the seats reserved for the respective county delegations and also escorting to the platform, those who are invited to seats there. These will be as fol- lows: the temporary officers of the convention; the supreme judges; for mer governors of Arizona; former judges of tine supreme court; former Delegate Wilson; territorial secretary, treasurer, auditor and attorney gen eral; mayors of cities; president and directors of Phoenix and Maricopa county board of trade and members of the reception committee.
 It has also been suggested, though 1t is a matter for convention action, that while every friend of the cause is entitled to a seat as a delegate, some plan for fair representation should be devised in the matter of voting, that Maricopa, or any other county who chances to be more strongly represent ed would not have n unfair prepon- derance. To that end it was suggest ed that each county delegation might perhaps be given four times as many votes as she has in the territorial as- 1 sembly. That would be a regulator on the proportion and be numerous enough to have a representative vote.
