Letter from Charles E. Arnold to Charles Phelps Taft
Charles E. Arnold informs Charles Phelps Taft that Arizona will not send an instructed delegation favorable to Secretary of War Taft to the Republican National Convention unless President Roosevelt assures them that the upcoming congressional session will not discuss joint statehood with New Mexico. Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield, Frank H. Hitchcock, and Arthur I. Vorys, Taft’s campaign manager, have promised to help, and Arnold hopes Charles Phelps Taft can as well.
