President Roosevelt likes Arizona Governor Kibbey’s letter regarding Judge Edward Kent. He confides in Kibbey that he is unsure what policy to pursue concerning statehood. While the issue of joint statehood with New Mexico is likely dead, Roosevelt still wants to meet with “leaders of the…fight,” and invites Kibbey. Roosevelt will not accept Kibbey’s resignation as he is doing right by the people, unlike former New Mexico Governor Herbert J. Hagerman.
