Letter from William H. H. Llewellyn to William Loeb
William H. H. Llewellyn believes that while there is a genuine effort among credible individuals to achieve statehood for Arizona, the government and business interests are fighting the measure. Appointed by President Roosevelt, Governor Joseph H. Kibbey has worked against Roosevelt’s wishes by actively working to defeat statehood. While Llewellyn does not believe there is justification to remove all political appointees in Arizona, Kibbey certainly must go. Not only is he working against the President’s wishes, he is also an alcoholic.
