Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1911-07-18

Arizona i'll accepting the ult;matum
of the president and congress to elm
mate the judiciary, in order to secure
statehood. is not sacrificing much to
secure the one great thing needful
am very sorrw that Mr.. Wilcox has not
seen fit To make public the names Of
the men, irrespective of party, who
signed the petitions for congress to
eliminate the recall if necessary to Sc
cure statehood. Politics and personal
tiles have no business in the fore
ground now. There has been too much
of them already
And | trust that when the vote is
taken on statehood under the conditions
demanded at Washington. it will be a
rousinS vote, and not leave the matter
To socalled representatives OF the peo-
pie at Washington. believe that
President Taft has rather gone beyond
the exercise of his preroGativcs as an
executive to demand the elimination of
the recall provision, hut as he has done
so. and | have no doubt of the hon
eSty of his motive. il is the part OF
common sense to temporarily accept
the mandate.

CONDITION CONFRONTS
AND NOT THEORIES
Attorney Alfred Franklin On Ehm'na
ton of Recall.

Judge Alfred ]. Franklin, high among
Phoenix lawyers, progressive demo
Graf of the sensible class. member OF
the late constitutional convention and
patriotic Arizonian. has come out flat
footedly for the contamination of state
hood by the elimination of the recall OF
the judiciary, as demanded by Presi-
dent Taft as the only way of secur-
ing executive approval Of the state
hood admission measure To he voted
upon August Z.
No democrat in Maricopa county has
stood more faithfully for the principles
of his party. While Judge Franklin
does not personally approve of the re-
call of the judiciary, above that he be-
! lieves in the domination of the major
| ity, and when the vote came upon the
adoption of the constitution as q whole,
he stood loyalty by his party majority.
With Judge Baker and a number OF
other leading members of the conven-
ton. Judge Franklin opposed the judic-
iary recall provision, not alone because
of his personal opposition thereto. but
because he understood the attitude of
President Taft in the matter. and that
to insert the judiciary recall would en-
danger the whole fabric of statehood.
Judge Franklin said:
1T is a time to lay aside all personal
feeling in this statehood matter and
look the thing squarely in the face. In
the language of that great victorious
democrat. Grover Cleveland. Arizona is
now confronted with a condition and
not a theory. The paraphrase fits our
case exactly.
This is not the time for fustian.
The time is ripe for the exercise of the
soundest judgment and good common
sense Give brain diplomacy an inning
until statehood is actually brought
about. Then will be time enough to
agitate the recall of the judiciary. if
such an agitation is demanded. The
initiative and referendum are still in
the constitution. They open the way
for reopening the judiciary recall ques-
ton.

Result of Capt. Wilcox's Canvass Sent
to Washington.

| The statement braZenly printed dan
after day To the effect that at least 81
per cent of the people of Maricopa
county are absolutely in favor Of re-
manning a territory Indefinitely rather

Santiago, long time Arizona resident
and at present proprietor of the Adj
ans Pharmacy at the corner of Cen
ter and Monroe streets, in the city Of
Phoenix
Here is the list of people who
signed the petition asking that the re-
call be eliminated if its presence in
the constitution meant the sacrifice
Of statehood"
Captain Wilcox showed list of
over 12O names. all secured in the
three most thickly settled blocks in
the heart of the business district of
Phoenix The list contained the names
of bankers. merchants, ministers.
lawyers. among whom three of the
most distinguished Maricopa members
of the late constitutional convention;
contractors. mechanics; in short. from
every walk in the industrial life Of
Phoenix.
The petitions declaring for a terri
tory forever, rather than sacrifice
Of political honor. by heck, contained
the names Of just seven people. and
they were Just as industriously circu-
lated as the ones for statehood.
This talk about sacrifice Of honor
to a sensible man is simply nauseat-
ing" said Captain Wilcox. with wry
face. Il am making this statement

on To the proper authorities in Wash
ington. where they ought to do the
most good. There isn't one man in
fifty I'm this city who cares CONT
mental about the recall of the judici-

one is vitality interested in securing
statehood. That is the spirit l found
everywhere. Nearly every one of

That means statehood, and in my
judgment statehood means the biggest
boon that can possibly come to Arizona.
Given statehood and we may confident
