ne,rst for Double Statehood.

Mr. W. r. Hearst has announced
himself in favor of double statehood
for the twin territories. In a speech
delivered during his recent tour ne
said:
81 visited your territory eighteen
years ago with my father and have
been here many times since. Just as
my father worked in his day for the
admission Of Idaho and Utah, so | am
working now Tor the admission Of four
more territories into the Union, be
Iieying that / am doing as my father
before me would have done.
Il believe these territories should be
made into states and by that | mean
they should be individual states. II
one territory in the North is large
enough 10 make two states, | see no
reason why IL should take two terrific
rcs in the South to make a single
state. | have come TO help you in
this desire, and, iu order to help you
more cffoctually, ! nave made this new
inquiry upon the spot into your re-
sources. your population and your
