date. For We feel that the interests
OF Arizona and her citizenship as a
whole, and their wishes and desires
relative TO preventing joint statehood
and the securing of single statehood
and other rights can best be secured
by an uninstructed and unhampered
delegation, and realizing also that as
Arizona has no electoral vote and that
we can in no way assist in the election
Of Republican President is another
reason why our delegation should go
10 the national convention with its
hands free TO do whatever is for the
best interest of the national Republi.
can party, the Republican party in All
IONA and for Arizona.
1--WE believe that truly representa-.
tive men of Arizona as delegates, un.
hampered and uninstructed, can best
represent our party at the national
convention, and approaching the truly
representative citizenship, the long
and useful residence in Arizona Of our
honored ellow-citizen, Richard Z.
Sloan, we recommend to the Rcpubli-
can convention at Tucson that he be
sent as one Of the uninstructed dele.
gates to the national convention.
at il the further sense Of this con-
vention that all proxies to the Tucson
convention of delegates from Yavapai
County shall be held by a member OF
said delegation as selected by thii
convention, and if any member be alb
sent and unreprcscnted by proxy thai
the chairman of said delegation may
vote for him and in mis- stead.
L. "Provided further that said delega
ton shall vote as a unit upon all thing
, as a majority of said delegation shall
direct.
