Ralph R. Duniway recently read an article by Theodore Roosevelt on the proposed Arizona Constitution, and reflects upon Roosevelt’s argument that it is a republican constitution like that of Oregon, assuming that Roosevelt is arguing against the allegation that it is a pure democracy, and not a republic, because of the recall of judges. Duniway feels that the ballot initiative, referendum and recall of judges have already pushed the government away from being a representative republic, but concludes that a case presently before the Supreme Court will decide the matter. He sends Roosevelt some documents relevant to the case, as he believes he will be interested.
