The joint Republican and Democratic committee met in Phoenix, Arizona, to vote on the matter of joint statehood. The vote was thirty-five to fifteen against joint statehood in the Republican Committee. William H. H. Llewellyn thinks the vote results are due to the proxies procured by Governor Joseph H. Kibbey, William Spencer Sturges, and Frank Morrill Murphy. President Roosevelt’s supporters in Arizona claim that the majority of the Committee is in favor of joint statehood.
