 J0INTURE
Is Writing Letters to Spanish American War Veterans
 Asking Support,

DOUGLAS, Aug. 2s,~-(SpecialJ-l Delegate Andrews, oe New Mexico. | is putting a good poition of his time these days appealing to the boys who went to the Spanish war in the Rough Rider regiment, in the name of Major Llewellyn to to come to the relief of joint state hood. John B. Wylie, who is an em- ploye of the Calumet & Arizona smell ter in this city. was a member of the rough rider regiment and is proud of 7 that fact. He has a high personal re gard for Major Llewellyn, but de clares that should he start out in Douglas distributing joint statehood buttons he would consider himself in danger equal to any that he faced in | Cuba with the boys in brown and blue MT. Wylie is in receipt of the | following letter from Delegate An drews:
 Albuquerque, N. Nj,
 August 21, 1906. John B. Wylie. Esq,
 Douglas. Arizona:
 My Dear Sir.-Your name has been given me by comrade Major Llewellyn of Las Cruces N. NJ, and l have taken the liberty of addressing you on the subject of statehood. and 1 would be igreatly obliged if you would drop me a line and give me an idea of the situ- ation in Arizona as regards Jointure. l | enclose a statehood button. You will notice the picture of the president in the center. Should you want any to distribute in your section, let me know and l will send them to you.
 Hoping you will let me hear from lyou. l am. Yours truly.
 w. H. ANDREWS.
 MT. Wylie has answered the above letter and told Mir. Andrews that there is a total absence in this part of Arizona of any sentiment favoring joint statehood and declining to be the medium of distribution for joint statehood buttons.
 1 We note in the Phoenix Republican lthat Delegate Andrews wrote an exact copy of the above letter to J. D. Car ter, an ex-ROugh Rider of that city. MT Carter wrote a reply to Delegate Andrews, of which the following is a copy:
 MT w H. Andrews,
 Albuquerque. N. NJ:
 Dear Sir.-Replyiug to your favor oi the Fist inst, requesting me to give you an idea of the situation in Arizona as regards joint statehood, I am most happy to say that I can see no indica tions as yet of any desire on the part of the people of this territory to give the running of it's affairs into the hands of New Mexico politicians. OuI own are bad enough, but they arc several hundred miles nearer home where we can watch them and, beside I I,1;,.
 There are no doubt a few "fussS personages" in our community who are for joint statehood, but they are mostly the kind who generally repre sent the reverse of popular sentiment in their respective political parties return herewith the joint state hood button with President Roose velt's photograph thereon. You might have use for it in New Mexico. We . don't need it here. We give Presi . dent Roosevelt all his credit marks and love him for many things, but we've got this joint statehood busi ness posted up" on the other side oi his account.
 : With personal regards to Major , Llewellyn, and tell him to gues: l again, I remain, Yours truly. J. D. CARTER. I There have been other letters of { - similar character received by Rougl { Riders in the territory, but it is doubt s full if such an explicit reply has beer e given as the one sent by MT. Carter e who was a captain of the Rough Ride
