 CONVENTION

llc UOdEu Ol tIduc COiIlIlliGGcS d p- pointed for outlining a program for the anti-iointure convention today, prepared the following as the re- suit of their deliberations:
 The document begins by yannounc- ing that Arizona demands the right to work out, within her own bound aries, her destiny, and that all citi- zens of Arizona who are in sympa- thy with the movement against joint statehood will be considered members of the convention and delegates to it.
 It is desired that upon arrival or as soon thereafter as convenient, and before 2 o'clock p.m., all per sons who are here to attend to the convention shall go to the board of trade room, at the northeast corner of First avenue and Adams street, and there register with the tenn porary assistant secretary of the convention. This is important so that a complete list of the delegates especially of those out of town, be had for use at the convention.
 It is arranged that the board of trade room shall be the temporary headquarters of the delegates to the convention.
 10 o'clock a.m.-The democratic territorial central committee will meet at the capitol at the office of the governor, which will be at It's disposal.
 The republican territorial central committee will meet at the capitol at the office of the secretary of the territory, which will be at its dis posal.
 A 2 o'clock pm. the convention will assemble at the Doris opera house.
 The convention will be called to order by the president of the board of trade, who will designate the governor of the territory as tenn porary chairman. the Hon. E. E. Ellinwood as temporary secretary, and Nose Drachman as temporary assistant secretary.
 Permanent organization will then be in order.
 The committee of arrangement. appointed by the local board of trade, has the following tentative program and plan to suggest. These suggestions are made with a view to simplifying the work of the con- vention and expediting it's labors.
 That an Arizona anti joint-state- hood league be organized. That all Arizonans who oppose the joint statehood of New Mexico and Ari- zona shall, at their own option, be deemed members, with all the priv ileges of members.
 That the officers of the league consist of a president, vice presi- dent for each county, a secretary and a treasurer, all of whom are to be chosen by this convention, and the several vice presidents by the convention upon the nomination of majority of the representatives at this convention of the respective counties.
 It is suggested that the president of the league, and it's secretary, be selected 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 executive committee, which shall be charged with the work of formula ting the work of the league, and directing it's performance, and be charged with the full management of the affairs of the league.
 It is further suggested that each ;';ce president shall be the presi- dent of local league, subordinate and auxiliary to the territorial league, to be organized under the auspices of the territorial league in each of the several counties. That fba ", r;oup oo,nf,, or0o m 1o tiopc
