Finds Mistake in
 Arizona Constitution

Assistant Secretary R. A. Kirk says he mas discovered that tha late Con- sti tutional Convention failed 10 pro- vide in the constitution for the elec- tion Of justices and constahles. II Mir. Kirk is correct. It mean- that the precinct officers, elected in 1908 will hold their positions in the event statehood is granted, until the fret legislature of the new state meets and makes provisions for .he;. election. As the first general election after the meeting Of inc first legislature will not occur until 1912 the present in. cumhents will remain in office until Jan. l, 1913 It ia confidently ex- pected that this will be eminently satisfactory to the justices and consts. bles throughout the territory.
