stltuticn. they declaring from start o finish that Arizona would never consent to statehood without the recall.
 Besides being opposed to the re- call. we say that there would be great danger to statehood if that provision was included in the con stitution. and we advised that it be leu out. trying to show the friends of the proposition that under the provision in the constitution for it's the people of the terri tory could add the recall at any time the people desired, and on their own initiative. That was the advice that came from the national capital from both democrats and republicans; that was the advice that came from many democrats in Arizona who believed in the recall Even Bill Cleary, ultra radical and who believes in everything connect ed with the recall from yanking judge of the supreme court of the United states off the bench to ty- ing can to the most insignificant justice of the peace in Coehise county, saw the danger that would come to admission if the recall ot the judiciary was put in the con stitution and advised against it at Phoenix, and for doing so was roundly denounced by those who were in the same class with Cieary as a radical progressive. But all advice was ignored on the plea that If it were left out there would be objection that might hinder the election Of some of the constitu- tonal favorltes.
 The result shows that the advice given was sound and was in the interest of statehood. and now the friends of Arizona in Washington have taken the bull by the horns and propose to admit the territory in spite of the protests that have been lodged in Washington against the very course which is now to be pursued. which is the only course that was possible at any time since
 Arizona's constitution was pre-
 sented in Washington When the
 presidents message was received
 by congress there was some tall
 about al, attempt to pass the Floot resolution over the veto, but thi,
 was not pushed and It's attemp
 would have certainly ended on
 statehood hopes for the present,
 Now that the recall is to be elim
 mated and Arizona admitted with
 out 1t, if at all we do not expec
 to hear very much more about thu
 people of the territory being unwill
 ing to accept statehood without thi
 one provision of the constitution
 but expect to see the terms whic have been agreed upon in Wash ington accepted by a practicall unanimous vote at the first stat election.
 , If the statehood resolution, agree on yesterday. passes both house 2 of congress 1t win only be a fe' t weeks until the machinery of tn , primary election provided for by th ' election ordinance passed by tn h constitutional convention will be s' > in motion and then all who desil D public position in the new staf r will be at liberty to submit the
 claims to the popular vote of the | desired constituency.
 r. It looks now that the democra l. will have a walkover from one CT D of the territory to the other, ar b we do not expect to hear more
 the fool cry of Cameron ar
 Statehood" which resounded ov D the mountain tops and through t
 canyons and valleys Of Arizona du
 ing the fall of 1908.
