 "When the constitution arrived l took it to President Taft and to the attorney general myself and I asked them to approve it as it came from the people. One day I asked the | president if he would approve the constitution as it stood. and he put hand on each of my shoulders and looked me square in the eye and said 'Mr. Delegate, I have carefully read the constitution of Arizona, the at torney general has carefully inspected the constitution of Arizona, and I have come to the conclusion that I will pass the constitution with the exception of the recall of the judici- ary.'
