Letter from Ralph R. Duniway to Theodore Roosevelt
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.
