Arizona republican., 1903-01-25
The Decisive Week.

All advices from Washington agree that this will probably be the moment ous and decisive week for the statehood bill. Every friend of Arizona who has an acquaintance with a senator of the United States should without delay urge upon him the claims of this terri tory and of New Mexico to place in the union.
 When the senate, on Wednesday last, voted down Senator Cullom's motion to lay aside the omnibus bill for an execu- tive session, it was accepted on both sides as a test vote. The republican senators who by their votes on this motion placed themselves on record for the admission of the three territories were:
 Joseph R. Burton of Kansas; Clar- ence D. Clark of Wyoming; Stephen B. EIkins of West Virginia; Addison c Foster of Washington; Jacob H. Gal finger of New Hampshire; Henry C. Hansbrough of North Dakota; John P. Jones of Nevada; Porter J. McCumDer of North Dakota; William E. Mason of Illinois; John H. Mitchell of Oregon; Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania; George C. Perkins of California; Matthew Stanley Quay of Pennsylvania; Will jam NJ. Stewart of Nevada, and George L. Wellington of Maryland.
 This is truly a roll of honor which Arizona will never forget. But it by no means represents the actual strength of the statehood bill on the republican side. The Republican has reliable but confidential information that at least two other senators will vote for the bill when it is placed on passage, and there are still several senators who may fairly be classed as in the doubtful ceI- umn. However. the senators who voted against MT. Quay on the Cullom motion were:
 ; Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode Island: Russell A. Alger of Michigan; William B. Allison of Iowa; Thomas R. Bard of California: Albert J. Beveridge of Irdi- ana; Henry E. Burnham of New Hamp. shire: Julius c. Burrows of Michigan; William J. Deboe of Kentucky; John F. Dryden of New Jersey; Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota. Shelby M. Cullom of H. linois: Charles H. Dietrich of Ne braska; Jonathan P. Deliver of Iowa Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana William P. Frye of Maine; Robert ; Gamble of South Dakota; Marcus A. Hanna of Ohio; George F. Hoar oI Mas sachusetts; Louis E. McComas of Maryland; Joseph H. Willard of Ne braska; Knute Nelson of Minnesota: Rcdfeld Proctor of Vermont; Joseph V. Quarles of Wisconsin; Joseph Simon of Oregon; John C. Spooner of Wisconsin; George P. Wetmore of Rhode Island; Francis E. Warren of Wyoming; Thom- as C. Platt of New York; Thomas Kearns of Utah; Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia; Joseph R. Hawley of Connecticut; William P Dillingham; of Vermont; John Kean of New Jersey; Alfred B. Kittredge of South Dakota; Chauncey NJ. Depew of New York; Or vile H. Platt of Connecticut and Flu gene Hale of Maine. In this list we make no distinction between those who voted for the CulIom motion and those who were paired for it.
