Arizonans Should Accept State.
 hood.

While many people feel that Ari- zona has been badly treated by the President, nevertheless one and all should accept the boon of statehood, now that it has been rendered us, even though a pet measure will have 10 be eliminated from the constitution be- fore we are freed from the thraldom of territorialism. Under the cOnstitu- tion an amendment can be readily adopted, should the people wish, re- placing the recall of the judiciary in our organic document.
 The benefits that will come to Ari- zona through statehood are so many that it would be useless to enumerate them. And while the whole territory is getting a great benefit Mohave county will be the largest gainer of any of the counties. In the first place the Santa Fe railroad will be assessed at its proper value, including it's hun dreds of thousands of acres of grant lands, which will bring the levy of tax so low that it will offer inducement to investors to come here and aid us in the improvement of latent resources.
 Every territory has shown wonder ful improvement in wealth and popula- tion the first years of admission as states and there is no reason why Ari- zona should not benefit far more than any of them on account of the world of advertising il has received ny reason of the great fight that was put up for us in the congress of the United States.
 So let us vote out the recall of the judiciary and vote Tn the state that is to be the brightest star in the starry flag of the greatest nation on earth.

Primary and State Election.

Governor Sloan has given out to the press the information that he has de- cided to call the primary election for the selection of candidates on October 24, and that the date of the election has been set for December F. This will give about seven weeks between the primaries and the election, quite a long campaign. In discussing the sub- ject he thought that seven weeks would be none too long for the primaries, as it would take much of the time for filing nominations, getting up petitions and conforming in all respects to the direct primary law. The proclamation will not be issued until the 20th of this month.
