is too much divergence of opinions
and II is believed the consideration o
the matter in committee would leave
no time for discussion in the senate
as opposition Is known to be much
stronger in the senate than in the
house.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. May o.
Some very sharp words were uttered
in the house today in the discussion
OF the statehood bill Mr.. Grosvenor
contended that 1T was not wise poit
ically to admit new states as Dokata
was admitted. He denounced the bill
as evasive and cowardly and placing
the matter on a low key.
1t was shown that New Mexico and
Arizona had undergone a long proba-
tory period. much longer than any
other new state, and that to keep
them now from the benefits of state
hood would be far from wise.
While the Democrats proclaimed
generally for the admission, Republi-
cans were not wanting to advocate the
measure on the ground of political
wisdom asserting that judging from
cry probability that the three new
states would all send Republican sena-
tors to Washington. They urged the
passage of the bill, however, on
broader grounds, insisting that as two
Republican national platforms had de-
clared for admission, it would be the
duty of congress to carry out the
promises made.
WASHINGTON, d. C., May @
The house this afternoon passed on
viva voce vote without division the
bill to admit to statehood. Oklahoma
New Mexico and Arizona.
