O. D. M. Gaddis spoke with Charles Henry Akers, editor of the Arizona Gazette, about the matter of joint statehood. Akers is eager to use his paper to support statehood, but fears a loss of advertising business might result. Gaddis asks if a sum of five thousand dollars can be raised for Akers to “start the ball rolling.” Gaddis argues that if they secure Akers’s support, their cause will have a leading daily and the only Republican paper in Phoenix, Arizona.
