ADVANCE ELECTION DATE.
 (PhOanix Sunl

Since there has arisen a vexing con troversy over the effect upon the terms of office chosen in the first state election should the states admission not be proclaimed until after January 1. 1912, there seems to be but one safe solution of the matter That is for Governor Sloan to revise his an- nounced program and advance the date of the election in such a way as to make sure that the state can be admitted within the present year.
 No one doubts that the constitu- ton makers expected the state to be admitted this year, and so provided in the even numbered years, concurrent ly with the national elections that oc- cur in such years. They also intended that the first officials should serve only until their successors, to be elected in 1912, should become regu- larly qualified.
 Tn the face Of these patent inten- tions Governor Sloan would meet the expectations of the law and the peo- pie by so arranging that those inten- tions would be realized
 We believe that Governor Sloan is a reasonable and patriotic man, dis posed to serve the public welfare and indisposed to throw confusion, liti- gation and expense upon the people unnecessarily. To risk a late cleo ton and a legal controversy over the terms of office of state and county officials would serve no visible pur- pose of personal or political advant- age to him.
 The people are looking toward Gov ernor Sloan as the practically certain federal judge of the district of Ari- zona, and their present large conf dence in his fairness and good judg- ment would be splendidly augmented by so sane an act as the re-arrang- ing of the election dates so as to accomplish statehood within the cur rent year, as contemplated in our con stitution.
