 terms offered. Fourteen per cent are many more than five per cent. But take the vote actually cast on the statehood issue, and those who voted for iointure are nineteen per cent of that total. When one con siders the great odds at which the statehood advocates worked, with all the power of the territorial gov- ernment, nearly all that of the federal officials of the territory, all the great corporations, and nearly all the newspapers, the fact that there were nearly one in five of those who gave the subject consideration who were marshalled for the issue, gives reason for con- graduation, and room for hope. Joint-statehood is not dead by a long ways. The seed is sown, has taken root, and will continue to grow. The issue will come again, and yet again, until it is adopted. It is an issue of the national re- publican party; and the national republican party is not in the habit of laying down on issues it has adopted once.
 Then there are some other very significant features in the canvass of the vote as shown in the table presented. It does one thing for a certainty: and that is that 1t brands the anti-joiuture news papers and some of the men who were most conspicuous Tn their op- position to statehood as some of the most consummate liars on the 1 face of the earth. For instance, l they asserted most positively that lin all Cochise county there was not single advocate of jointure. i One of the most blatant of those at whom this point is leveled was Mir. Mahoney, superintendent oi the Arizona Industrial school at Benson. He made that statement in 6 newspaper interview that was copied all over the territory by the anti i-lointure press. Yet in Cochise county 609 voters cast their ballots 1 for statehood. That Is thirteen per cent of the total vote of the county. and more than seventeen 1 per cent of those who voted on the question of statehood. In the same way the people were assured 
 that not one man would vote fol statehood in Graham county. Yet of the total vote in Graham county eighteen per cent were cast fol statehood, and of the vote thai gave the subject consideration 
 there were 229 per cent in favor 1 Other instances can be taken, but 1 those two will suffice.
 Now, then, there is a moral tC all all this. Yes, there are two O them: First the people of Arizona are not a unit against jointure Second: Had republican leaders Ar {
