SEPARATE VOTE ON QUESTION
Of Joining Two Territories
Before Delegates Go to
Constitutional Convention.

at the next regular territorial elections
of Arizona and New Mexico to be
held next November for delegates toI
a constitutional convention to frame
constitution for the proposed new
state and to vote on the question OF
statehood to be submitted in this form:
"Shall Arizona and New Mexico be
united as one state?'
If majority in each territory vote
in favor of joint statehood then dele.
gates to the constitutional convention
will be called together. II majority
of either territory be recorded against
statehood then the convention shall
not assemble. 1t eliminates the ex-
pense of holding a constitutional con
vention in the event that the decision
of either territory is against state
hood and avoids a confusion of the
statehood question with the election
for state officers.
