FOR STATEHOOD
GOVERNORS OF NEW MEXICO
AND ARIZONA CON-
FER.
Irrigation Bill is IncIuded-They viii
Endeavor to Have the Two Terri.
Shafroth Introduced.

Chicago, Dec. IA conference
with much promise for the
people of Arizona and New Mexico
was held here last night. Governor
N. o. Murphy of Arizona and Govern
or NJ. o. Otero of New Mexico we're the
two conferees, and Immediately after
the conference Governor Murphy left
for Washington to %inaugurate the cam
paign which has for its object the ad-
mission of the two territories to state
hood and the repeal of the clause in
the Shafroth irrigation bill that ex-
cludes the territories from participa-
ton in the proposed irrigation appro-
priation of $40. OOO. 900.
Both of the territories desire to take
on the maturer honors of statehood.
and in both the people nave empower
ed their governors to intercede with
the authorities at Washington.
Work for Statehood.
Governor Otero. in discussing his
mission and that of Governor Murphy
to Washington, said:
we are members of the governors
committee that is to present at the
centennial exercises at the capital
next Wednesday. We are going to
Washington for other easons. howev-
er. and we are in hopes that congress
can be prevailed upon at the present
session to pass bills adj ltting the two
territories To statehood.
The people of both territories are
very anxious for the honor. and they
have often expressed their desire to
have the matter brought before con.
gress. They waited upon me a short
time ago. and. although felt it would
have been better to have the legisla-
ture take the first action. still they
have been so clamorous for immediate
action hat we are to try to get a bill
through at the present session.
In the Irrigation Bill.
Another piece of legislation hat we
are W Indhe every elOll W eleCl Is
the naming of New Mexico and Arizo,
ma in the irrigation bill that Congress,
man Shafroth has introduced. For
some unaccountable reason the names
of the two territories have been omit
ted in the measure, which calls for an
appropriation of $1O.O 900. 900 for the
purpose of constructing an irrigation
System in several of the western states,
Just why the names of New Mexico and
Arizona should be omitted we are at
a loss to determine. The only reason
that We can see for the omission is
that the congressman from Colorado
is making an effort to aid our cause by
advancing an argument why we should
be admitted to the family of states.
why, we are wards of the govern
ment, and as wards are entitled to even
more consideration than are the states
and we trust that our plea for a share
and a good share. in the appropriation
will not be set aside"

All talk about the removal of the
capital to Casper is the sheerest non
sense. PardoXical as it may seem,
Cheyenne is now and will be for many
years to some the most central point in
this statement we mean that it is the
most convenient point for all the PEG.
pie to reach. This is because of its
railroad facilities. Recently it has
been placed in closer connection with
Sheridan and the extreme northern
part of Wyoming. As the Casper Tri'
moving the capital would meet with
certain defeat.

THE VICTORY IN COLORADO.

Inc OIlCldl returns snow mat Mt.
Bryan's plurality in this state was 30
81 Four years ago the Bryan plurali-
ty was 34,SS2. The enormous major.
ity over Mr.. Mckinley was cut down
by l05,221, and in doing that the re-
publicans of Colorado made a greater
gain than their party associates achiev-
ed in any other state in the Union.
There is no doubt that if it had been
known for a certainty that Mr.. Bryan
would be defeated, his plurality in this
state would have been wiped out and
Colorado would have placed itself in
line with its n~eighbors. every one of
which went republican. On the morn.
ing after the election thousands of vo.
tiers who cast their ballots for the Bry,
an electors would gladly have chang,
ed their votes to the republican side
if they had been able. They saw then
the folly Of keeping Colorado in the un.
progressive column and giving its crit.
les in the east some ground for the as.
sertion that it is controlled by popu.
lism and political vaearies.
Such men will not again make the
error they committed this year. The
enormous gain in republican strength
is the handwriting on the wall which
says that fusion has been weighed in
the balance and found wanting. 1t is
a declaration hat Colorado will swing
into the republican ranks by the next
state election, never again to depart
from association with the enterprisine
and progressive members of the Union.
1t was a wonderful fight the republi.
cans made in this state, and they have
a right to feel proud of what they
achieved. The last vestige of populism
will be destroyed two years hence.
This assurance is an element in the
great republican gain. The people of
this state can go before their fellow
citizens in other commonwealth and
assure them that Colorado is virtually
Republican now. 1t Is fusion in its gov
ernment and it will be so for two years
more. But already a majority of the
people are ranged on the republican
side. Enough voters have seen the err
ror of last months action to make the
state safely republican, and were the
election to be held over Mr.. Mckinley
would surely receive a plurality.
There was no rejoicing when it be
came known that the Bryan electors
had won in Colorado. There was moth
ing to repoice over on that score. Blu
il the result had beer the other way the
whole state would have gone wild witt
enthusiasm. and in every city and ii
every village the people would have
celebrated Colorado's deliverance from
populism and fusion rule. To wipe on
the whole of the Bryan plurality of 1874,
1872 was apparently too great a tasl
for n campaign but we have ever!
assurance hat in the next presidential
election the republican gain will b
Sufficient to give the candidate Of tina
party a larger plurality than Mr.. Bryan

The writer was greatly amused to

was not so until of late years, but the
rank and file of the Republican party
are in open revolt against anything
by the name OF "Dobson''-and the
fact that II Dobson is the controlling
power in the recognized official paper
OF the Republican party in Akron and
Summit County has driven many n

go any way that they may happen to

EASY FOR JEFFRIES.


Champion James j. .Teffries Knocked
out John FiDnegan of littsburg Fri
day night before the Cadillac Athletic
club, of Detroit in 81 seconds. Finne-
gan landed the first blow as they came
to the center of the ring, and Jeffres
then put his left on the Pittsburgers
jaw and he went to the floor. Finne-
gan came up in few seconds only to
be sent to the floor again with blow
in the same place. He stayed down
longer this time, and when lie again
rose he was in visible distress. He had
hardly assumed fighting position be-
fore Jeffries put his left in the pit of
his stomach and Finnegan went down
completely out.
MATCHED WITH DUNKHORST
Bob Fitzsimmops has been matched
to meet Ed Dunkhorst of Cleveland in
limited round oout before the Hercules
Athletic club. New York, April 30.
The Cornishman intends to get in
trim for Ruhlin by working out with
big men and Dunkhorst Is the first of
the number. His next opponent will
probably be Joe Choynski, the Cali
fornian, whom he will meet before the
Chicago club next month. Fitzsim-
mons bout with Dunkhorst will be his
first public appearance in New York
since he lost the championship and he
should prove big drawing card. Fitz-
simmons, having come TO the conclus-
ion that 1t Is TO his advantage to get
all the money he can out of the fighting
game before 1t ceases on Sept, ], has
decided to take on few more third
raters before he fights Gus Rubin on
June =.
