Movement Tovaro statehood.

ST.. PAUL, Dec. 1.-THE movement
toward statehood for Dakota assumes
new phases almost daily. One of the
recent developments was call for a
convention of the democrats of the
southern portion of the territory to adj
vance the interests of the new state.
and that has been followed by similar
suggestion for the remainder of the ter
ritory. The question of division has
apparently been settled, so far as the
people of the territory are concerned,
and it simply remains for them to
hasten their admission into the union.
Letters to prominent DakotianS give
little hope of the passage of a bill by
the present congress, but Hon. ). ).
Cox writes that he believes that suf-
ficient number of democrats may vote
for division to give it majority in
the house.
At the proposed mass convention of
northern Dakota people, it is desired to
have addresses from Congressman Cox.
of New York, Mcdonald. of Minnesota,
and others. The people are beginning
to realize that if they want statehood
they must work for it. Agitation meet
ings are being planned for all over the
territories to follow up the work al
the most part the feeling has
been strong for the retention Of
the name of Dakota for the other state,
owing to its commercial value. 1t Is
claimed that Dakota wheat is famous,
and to take another name for either
part of the territory would be giving
away a name to which it was entitled.
On the other hand the people are sem
sitive about the climate, and calling at
tention TO it by having north" and
south" Dakota does not meet with
the greatest satisfaction. so that a sent
iment against these names is slowly
growing, whether it be called North
dakota or 'Sembina" or Lincoln. p"
| The people of the northern part of the
present territory of Dakota feel as
sured of the final admission to the
union, which they consider their right.
because of their population, natural
wealth and production, and they are
| fighting for it.
