The second section provides for the executive power and authority to be vested in a governor, and prescribes his term of office to be six years, and his official duties.

This acquired territory has since been divided into several States and Territories, to-wit: California, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico, was subsequently divided, and by this subsequent partition comes the interesting history of the Territory of Arizona. A Confederate Territory. A Territory named Arizona was first laid out and organized by the Confederate States of America. On the 1st of March, 1861, the Territory was taken in charge by Lieutenant-Colonel John R. Baylor, who was in command of the Confederate Army force in the Territory, and possession was held on behalf of the Confederate States of America. The new Territory was to be included in all that portion of New Mexico lying south of the 34th parallel of north latitude, and a proclamation was issued, declaring said Territory temporarily organized as a military government until such time as Congress might otherwise provide. Officers were appointed for the government of the Territory.

Accordingly, President Jefferson Davis, published his official proclamation, in pursuance of the said act, as follows: Organization of the Territory of Arizona.

for Alaska and Porto Rico. From these quotations from the two platforms, it seems that in the success of either party the result must be that the Territories shall be admitted as States of the United States. Some points of history. My purpose is now to recite a few facts of history concerning the Territory of Arizona. This Territory is a part of the great Mexican purchase by the United States from Mexico, through the treaty of Guadaloupe-Hidalgo, of the United States with Mexico in 1848, growing out of the Mexican war, and five years later by the Gadsden purchase. By these two acquisitions of territory, the United States made a great expansion. By the treaty the United States acquired 522,568 square miles, or 334,443,520 acres of new territory, and by the Gadsden purchase the United States received other new territory of 45,535 square miles, or an area of 29, 142,400 acres. This acquired territory has since been divided into several States and Territories, to-wit: Califor

e next year, 1863, on the 24th day of February, it appears that the Congress of the United States, in session in Washington city, followed the Congress of the Confederate States and passed an act to establish and organize the Territory of Arizona, formerly a part of the Territory of New Mexico. The name, as will be observed, is the same as that of the Confederate Territory. See the United States Statutes-at-Large, volume twelve, page 664, or Revised Statutes of the United States, edition of 1878, page 335. It appears in the above cited act of February 24, 1863, that the United States made the Territory of Arizona of the western portion of New Mexico, by including all that part situated west of a line running due south from the point where the southwest corner of the Territory of Colorado joins the northern boundary of the Territory of New Mexico, to the southern boundary line of said Territory of New Mexico, and the same is hereby erected into a temporary government by the name of th

orado river, that was not in the Confederate States Arizona. If the Confederate States had been successfully and permanently established, then there would not have been any more of the Territory of New Mexico but that little corner above the Colorado river, and the present Territories of Arizona and New Mexico, together, excepting that corner, would be the Confederate States Arizona, as organized first by the Confederate States in 1862. So it may be observed that whenever the present Territories of New Mexico and Arizona shall be admitted into the union of States, on an equal footing with the original States, they will comprise that area which was once the Territory of Arizona, as it was first organized by that name, by the Confederate States of America, excepting the little northwest corner as stated. As a matter of fact in history, this may be of some interest, and may be worthy of note for future reference. Very truly yours, Robert L. Rodgers. Atlanta, Ga., August 6, 1900.

py of the act taken from Confederate records in the city of Washington in the Department of the Interior. The last section (17) recites: That the provisions of this act be and are hereby suspended until the President of the Confederate States shall issue his proclamation, declaring this act to be in full force and operative and shall proceed to appoint the officers herein provided to be appointed in and for said Territory. The act was approved by the President, Jefferson Davis, on January 18, 1862. Accordingly, President Jefferson Davis, published his official proclamation, in pursuance of the said act, as follows: Organization of the Territory of Arizona.

ou kindly permit me to make a supplementary statement about the Territory of Arizona, in connection with my article which you published in your paper on the 31st of July, with regard to the first organization of the Territory of Arizona, by the Confederate States? I did not state it definitely, and it may not appear quite clearly from my article as it was published, that the Confederate States Territory of Arizona, as defined and laid out by the act of the Confederate States Congress, in Feb., 1862, embraced or included the whole of the old-time, ante-bellum territory of New Mexico, to the Colorado river, as the west boundary line, excepting a little point or area in the northwest corner of the old-time New Mexico, north of the Colorado river. An inspection of an old map, and of the limits or lines as defined by the act of the Confederate States Congress in 1862, will make it very plain to any reader or student who may wish or care to verify this statement. Then the act of the Unit

The Confederate States organized Arizona in 1862. [from the Atlanta, Georgia, Constitution, July 31, Aug. 15, 1900. By Judge Robert L. Rodgers. The recent actions of the political conventions of the Republicans and Democrats, in Philadelphia and Kansas City, appear to make it opportune and appropriate for some notice of a few points of history, and to observe the prospects of the future. In the platforms of both parties there is one item, or matter, to which I desire to refer, and to direct attention. It is the item of making new States of the Territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma. The Republicans in their platform say: We favor home rule for and the early admission to Statehood of the Territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma. The Democrats in their platform say: We denounce the failure of the Republican party to carry out its pledges to grant Statehood to the Territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, and we promise the people of those Territ
