Arizona republican., 1911-08-29

When Governor Richard E. sloan opened his mail yesterday he found Ill a big letter from the White House the official verification of Arizona well understood joy and gladness' the qualification of President Taft of tne massage of the statehood resolution under the authority of which the gov ernor is to issue a proclamation call ing an election for the selection or state officers, and the passing ot Juog- mont on the elimination of the recall of fudees from the Arizona constitu- tion Thereupon instantly became per tinent the question as to the date the election and the issuance of the proclamation by which 1t is to pc called.
 These questions being put to the governor he indicated that 1t was a matter he should approach without unseemly haste as it deeply concerns the whole people and there are severe things in connection with the elec- tion to consider First it is to be held under the provisions of ordinance Nc
  vention which provides direct pri- maries which must be held on the fifth Tuesday after the issuance ot inc proclamation. That would throw the primary on the 2nd of Octooer if the proclamation were to issue al once. thereafter will come the can wasting of the primary returns by the board provided for by the election ordinance, which will take little time to determine who the candidates are. Then will come the campaign and while the people do not want to delay matters longer than necessary, they want time enough to make a rroper canvass. The governor seem ingly is desirous of knowing the wishes of all parties all over the ter ritory as to the length of the cam paign and indicates that he will act just as promptly as he can when this information is at hand and the proc lamation can be drawn in accordance with the provisions of its authoriZa- tion He condensed his statement of the matter into the following:
 T will determine in the next few days when I will issue the proclama tion and call the election. l want to be fully advised as to how much time should be allotted. having in view the primaries under ordinance No. 2. which must be held on the fifth Tuesday after the proclamation is issued and the length of the campaign that the people desire thereafter"
