STATEHOOD BLOCKED BY THE RECALL.

approved with the recall of judges included. there will be danger Of delay and eprhaps defeat in the senate, unless President Taft shall take the initiative in approving the constitution as it was sent to Wash ington. That there are many sena- tors in tAe senate who are bitterly opposed to the recall provision O. the constitution is known. and so long as there is possibility of effecting the final elimination of that provision of the constitution they will find a way to delay any final action on the res olution for its approval. Even | both the house and senate should give their approval to the constitu- ton that would not bring Arizona [ Into the Union until President Taft should also give bis approval. The opinion seems to prevail in Wash ington that the president will not approve the constitution of Arizona SO long as it provides for the recall Of the judiciary of the new state. I've believe the people of Arizona ], would be willing to accept state hood without the recall in the con stitution, as that feature could be replaced ia the constitution if . majority of the citizens of the new state should desire to do so. To our mind the Arizonans-in Washing ton, who have gone there to assist in hurrying our territory into the Union would do the right thing if they would have their friends and the friends of Arizona ia congress yield to the presidents desire to have the recall eliminated from the Arizona constitution so that the in terminable wait for statehood could end now. With the recall provision eliminated from the constitution sent to Washington by Arizona VIC believe that all opposition to the speedy admission of both the terri tories would disappear and that within week the president could formally issue the proclamation bringing both the remaining territo- ries into the Union
 When the word goes out to the country that Arizona has been ad-
 nitted into the Union and clothed with ali the rights and projections guaranteed to every state then We may expect that immediately the attention of thousands of homeseek' CTS and investors will rivet their at. ftentlon on Arizona, thus giving stirn iulation to greater activity in every industry and enterprise.
 After the presidential proclama
 tion is issued declaring Arizona to
 be a sovereign state of this UnioI lit would not be long until the new
 state would send two senators tt
 Washington, there to look after th' Interests of the magnificent common wealth and it's citizenship.
 These considerations. to our mind should be sufficient to dwindle th' ldesire for the radical recall. whiel
 at most. is only the means by whicl an unfaithfuI public official might b
 removed from his position by DOT
 ular vote. instead of by other mean
 which are provided in the constitl
 ton. and cause Mark Smith, Geo. W
 P. Hunt and Brady o'Ne1 to talk lthe shortest and surest route fo
 statehood. In such action the
 would no doubt be upheld and al
 'plauded by the people of Arizona. ! It is beeolAing quite the custom i 9 many of the states for candidate Q for office to use display advertisin - in the newspapers in presentin l their claims for election. Especial T will this custom become more con r mon under the direct primary sy r ter of choosing candidates in Ar g zona. Under the system provide
 for choosing candidates in Arizon ,. each candidate seeking a place on n party ticket will have to mak r known his own platform and to d
