 that if the territory should elect a re- publican delegate to congress the terri | tory would rot be admitted by the democratic minority in the United States senate. Even Hon. Marcus A.
 Smith was engaged in the promulga- tion of that kind of a doctrine He was telling his hearers that the demo- cratic senators in the event of repub- | lican success in this territory would repudiate their promises made at the
 last sessicn and deny Arizona admis- sion. MT. Morrison said that he had
 more confidence than that in the in | tegrity O. the democratic senators. But in any case the territory could not hope for statehood from the minority Minorities do not enact legislation. 1 What could the democratic senators do against the republican majority of eighteen?
