STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES
THE ADMINISTRATION WILL SEEK
ADMISSION OF THE THREE
TERRITORIES.
Aetion Is Expected During Early Days
OF Session as the Agreement Made IN
the Last Session Calls for a Vote
December 10.

Washington. Nov. 1N.-Thero Is
much speculation and wide difference
of opinion among officials and pCliti.
clans here as to the prospects for the
passage OF the bill admitting Okla.
homa. Arizona and New Mexico to
statehood at the coming short session
OF Congress.
The sentiment seems to I've that the
bill will be passed by the Senate prac-
ticaiiy as it was passed by the House
at the last term, although there are
propositions looking to various amend
ments.
one or these is to leave New Mexico
out of the BILL admitting Oklahoma and
Arizona. Another is, drop both New
Mexico and Arizona and to admit Okla
homa.
The President is known to favor the
admission of all three OF the TerritOr-
les
The Senate Committee on I'erri,or-
les has planned a trip of investigation,
so its report will presumably be in
readiness for the Senate on its opening
DAY. or perhaps may be made public
before. The Presidents message us
ually absOrbS attntiOn on the first day,
and the report of the Secretary, with
the book OF estimates, on the second.
Since the voting must take place on
the 10th of December unless that
agreement be vacated by unanimous
consent, it might be well Tor the com
mittce to get It's findings before the
public in some form DelCre the assem-
bage Of Congress, and so give the
country a chance To express itself on
the question. The committee of inves-
tigatiOn. to start out from Chicago on
Monday. will consist OF Senator's Bey-
eridgc of Indiana, Dillingham; of Yer
mont. Burnham of New Hampshire.
Nelson of Minnesota and Bard of Cali
fornia Republicans; with Bate of Ten
nessee and Heitfeld of Idaho, Demo-
Gratis This committee, only part of
the Committee on Territories, profess
es to start out with an open mind,
ready to be influenced by what 1t finds
as To material and moral resources OF
IutSe anu THEIR
Of permanence. Several arguments
favor the admission of these Territor-
les Under our system, they will have
to be admitted sooner or later and
few years, one way or the ether, would
make little difference in the life of
nation.
The first Democratic administration
that comes along would surely admit
them, and from a Republican point OF
view the now dominant party might
just as we'll gain the favor in those
communities by comforting upon them
the great boon of statehood as to leave
this advantage to its ever-resourceful
opponent.
New Mexico was practically prom
iSed admission to the Union at the
time of the .IeXiCan cessiOn; it has for
more than hall a century urged its
claims upon Congress. Oklahoma is
abundantly large for State, and no
enc objects to its admission. especial
