WANTS TO D M THEM ALL
The Minority Report of the Commit
tee on Territories Presented.

Washington. Dec. ~15.-SenatOr Bate
today presented in the senate the mi
nority report from the committee on
territories, favoring the immediate
passing by the senate. of the Omnibus
statehood DILL without amendment as 1T
came from he house. The report argues
for the admission Of Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona and opposes n
uniting of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory ia:o one state. IT shows mi
nutely the condition Of Zach of the
three territories as to population, wealth
and general features of the territories
and say these are SUCH as to call for
immediate statehood.
1t criticIses the ma Drity report and
shows that both the republican and dem
ocratic parties in their last national
conventions adopted with perfect unan-
unity a plank in their res Iective plat
forms recommending c of these ter
~ritorfes by name for statehood. Such
expression should, the report contends,
be respected by both parties.
