William H. Andrews responds to Senator Smoot’s letter regarding the Joint Statehood movement. Andrews implores Smoot to get Democrats Wilfred T. Webb and Andrew Kimball involved in the movement. Although Smoot believes that the general sentiment of voters in Arizona supports statehood, involvement from both parties will help influence more people. Andrews wishes for joint statehood to be the main focus, rather than politics. Andrews encloses a copy of a letter from President Roosevelt to the Secretary of the Statehood League of Arizona that may be of use, and he would be willing to send more, if necessary.
