Hilarity in Williams

Hilarity in Williams
 When it was learned that the statehood bill had been signed by President Taft, Monday at 1: 40 D m., it was urged by a majority of the business men of Williams that the event be observed by participa- ting in a demonstration fitting the occasion.
 About six o'clock Monday even ing men began to carry dry goods boxes and everything else that was movable to the vacant lot across the street from the postoffice where it was piled up and ready for the torch to be applied. The news had been passed around that big demonstration was to held and by 7:3O o'clock. it looked as though every citizen of Williams lined the streets anxiously waiting for the fireworks to start.
 The K. of P. band entertained the crowd with patriotic airs appropri- ate for the occasion and which were we'll received by the gathering.
 Speeches were called for from all parts of the patriotic gathering. and the first local orator prevailed upon to take rostrum was Bobby Burns. Bobby was very modest in his remarks until inspired by his enthusiasm he launched into praises for the persistent and tireless work of Ralph Cameron. our fellow citi- zen and delegate to congress. in the cause of statehood Bearing strong ly on Cameron's efforts, he declared that the citizens of Arizona were under obligations to the delegate for the success of the statehood measure.
 Tom Maddock was the next ora tor to take stand and he soon con- vinced the audience that he was familiar with the great undevelop- ed resources of the new state, it's wealth in mine, forest and prairie Resources waiting only the trend of western emigration for develop ment. Showing that the people of Arizona are patriotic and true to their flag, he used Col Roosevelt in Cuba as the subject of his illustra ton, saying that Roosevelt was the greatest of all Americans, he sud- denly asked the question: "Who helped to make Roosevelt great"' the crowd yelled. "the boys of Ari- zOna.
 Mayor H. M. Stark delivered an address on the advantages and re responsibilities of statehood. The ten- dency it would have to eradicate many of the evils now existing through the sluggishness and often through miscarriage of justice un- der our present system of misgovern- ment. The mayors address, short as it was, was we'll received and to the point.
 Ed. Hamilton closed the meeting with short speech, instructive in it's nature, ,on the kind of constitution we should adopt and how it should be framed. MT. Hamilton stren uously objected to any radical mea- sures being embodied in the consti- tuition of Arizona similar to the Oklahoma constitution. MT. Ham

spring before.

and climate are no better than we have
right here. A man who wants to farm,
