Ernest H. Liebel called on Theodore Roosevelt earlier to ask if any “eleventh hour publicity program” regarding Arizona statehood would be advisable, given the new information about the urgent need for the judiciary recall, as discussed in President William H. Taft’s letter to Mayor of Tucson George B. Heney. Liebel is intimately familiar with the situation and can verify the facts. He wants Theodore Roosevelt to write an editorial on Arizona’s adoption of the recall out of necessity.
