General AinSworth Declares
Administration viii Continue
to Appoint Statehood Advo-
Gates to Office in Territory,

Phoenix Aug. 25.-Former Attor-
ney General Ainsworth returned here
from Los Angeles this week, where
he has been spending the summer.
Ainsworth was candidate for dele
gate to congress on the joint state
hood ticket in the last campaign and
is the leader of the joint statehood
forces in this territory.
When seen today Mr.. Ainsworth
stated that he did not believe that
Roosevelt would change his joint
statehood policy toward Arizona and
New Mexico upon the statements
made by Kibbey and Sturges. The late
candidate for congress stated absolutely
that he had it straight from Secretary
Loeb in Washington that in the fu-
ture none but joint statehood men
in accord with the presidents policy
were to be appointed to office in Ari-
zona.
He gave 1t as his opinion that thu
policy of the republican party regard
ing joint statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico would not be changed
one iota and that he doubted that
if Kibbey and Sturges could take
Arizona away from Roosevelt If they
tried According to Ainsworth the
jointists will enter the next conven-
tiOn in favor of an uninstructed dele
cation to the national convention, but
favorlng a delegation which would
further the cause of joint statehood.
