 The designation of such persons will, l assume, necessarily rest with your organization.
 l shall address note by this mail to the boards of supervisors of the sev- eral counties of the territory, enclosing copies of this letter for their informa- tion, and make the recommendation which have no doubt will be cheer fully complied with, that they direct every election board at the election of November 6, 1906, to permit the at tendance of representatives of your or ganization at the polls during the de- posit of ballots, at the count, and at it's public proclamation and certifica- tion.
 In those precincts where there may be no voters favoring the statehood proposition, shall advise the admis- sion to the count and certification of any qualified elector of any other pre- cinct in the territory who shall be properly accredited by your organiza- tion.
 I am so completely confident that the people of this territory want the en- suing election to be fair, unequivocal and unimpeachable record of their ser- timent on the joint statehood question that expect every board of supervis- ors and every precinct election board will not only permit. but will invite, the attendance of representatives of every view upon that question at the casting of the ballots, at the count of the ballots, and at the public procla- nation of the result and its certifica- tion.
 Your association, and any subordi- nate or auxiliary organization under the auspices of your organization. will be recognized as authorized to accredit representatives for this purpose.

Complaint is Made to the President
 That a Fraudulent Count of Votes
 is Intended
 The jointists have been caught at it again slandering the citizens of Ari- zona. The following interesting cor respondence was made public last night by Governor Kibbey, says the Phoenix Republican of the 3rd inst:
 Office of the Governor,
 Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 2, 1906. Hon. Thomas F. Wilson, President
 Joint Statehood League, Tucson, Ari-
 zona:
 Dear Sir: find upon my return from visit out of the territory let ter awaiting me from the president, of which the following is copy:
 Oyster Bay, N Y, Sept. 20, 1906.
 My Dear Governor Kibbey: 1 am sorry to say grave charges have been made to me that under the organiza- tion of which you are the active leader there will not be fair count of the votes on the question of statehood. If these charges were we'll founded l need not say to you that it would be a national disaster. 1 have no doubt there is no truth in them; but some prominent people in the United States do believe them, and they are joined in this belief by some of the most promi- nent people of Arizona and New Mex ico. Therefore, to avoid all criticism, l direct that, if you can in any way arrange it, you have representatives of the statehood people present at the canvassing of the votes on statehood. l have sent copy of this letter to Governor Hagerman and directed him to make the same arrangement that Is, have representatives from both the statehood and anti-statehood parties present to witness the count of the votes. Sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Hon. Joseph H. Kibbey, Governor of
 Arizona, Phoenix. Arizona.
 l have of course assured the presi- dent that 1 shall do all that can do to have representatives of the statehood people present at the canvass of the votes on statehood.
 In order to do this must have the cooperation of your association.
 l need hardly advise you of the pro visions of our law designed to secure a free, untrammeled vote of the people upon any question, and particularly the safeguards to secure fair count, nor need remind you how efficacious our system has been since it's adoption in 1891. Since the adoption. fifteen years ago, of our present system of conduct ing elections, and during which time many elections have been bitterly con tested, think I can confidently say there has never been an instance of a wilfully unfair count of the ballots. Such thing is practically impossible under our law.
 This speaks we'll enough for the eff ficacy of our system. But in order that any suspicion as to the fairness of the
