THE STATEHOOD BILL.
The Sensible View Taken BY the Denver Republican on
the Question.

Says the Denver Republican,:
The Republican members of the SEN
ate made a mistake in postponing until
the winter session all consideration of
the bill which has passed the house
providing for the admission of New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona. The
bill should have been considered and
passed without delay.
But as the matter has been disposed
of for the present, the thing for the
friends Of statehood to do is to secure as
large Republican vote as possible in
all three of the territories. Thus they
may make the Republican members
appreciate that they will make no mis-
take from the standpoint of partisan
politics if they let the proposed three
states comes in.
OF the three, Arizona is the only one
that can be considered Democratic. The
Republican majority in Oklahoma is
very large and ordinarily the Republi-
cans carry New Mexico. The prompt
admission Of the three by congress at
tillS ScSSluu WOuAu Ildfc SLTcLkLn Ln0Ileu
the Republican hold upon both New
Mexico and Oklahoma, and possibly II
would have made Arizona doubtful
Coming in as Republican states they
would in all probability remain
SO for many years unless some peculiar
issue should arise throwing them out Of
line with the policies Of the Republican
party.
There is some satisfaction in the as
surance that the senate committee on
territories will take up the considera-
tion Of this bill early in the winter
session, for II this Is done It's passage
before the expiration of the present
congress may be achieved. There Is lit
tie doubt that the president would sign
It were 1t to reach him. It is so clear
that these territories are entitled to ad-
mission that there ought not to be any
opposition to the passage Of the desirc,
act az soon as 1t reaches vote in the
senate.
