Arizona republican., 1909-09-06

Just how long the presidents cal will remain here is not yet ascertained but regardless of the length of time the committee has decided to construct a platform, which will be elaborately decorated, and from which President Taft will make his address. There are a good many things yet to be definitely arranged, and they will be discussed at the next meeting of the board which will take place on Thursday the 16th of this month.
 At this meeting the committee on arrangements expects to outline the program of amusements, which will help to fill out the day and entertain the thousand or more visitors who are expected. Chairman Whalen is now planning an extensive advertising campaign. which is expected to attract the largest crowd to Wickenburg ever seen here. Correspondence has been taken up with the A.

 There still seems to be doubt among the committee on arrangements as to whether they shall present the president with a canteen of the famous Hassayampa water or with a whole barrel full Many are of the opinion that President Taft can take care of a barrel full just as easily as that of a canteen full.
 Everybody is invited to come and give the president a great welcome. and show him that We are civilized and GOd-fearing men. men of educa- ton and men of the world, and that We are justly entitled to statehood
