JOINT STATE
HOOD FIGHT
Governor Otero and Chairman Bursum
Have Wired Strong Protests F. av.
oring CONGRATULATIONS
Suffragists Oppose 1t in
Present Form.

Governor Otero and Chairman Bur-
sum- of the Republican Territorial Cen
| trail Committee, spent some time Sat
urday last in formulating dispatches
containing vigorous protests against
the passage of the Hamilton joint
| Statehood Bill which is now pending
in the United States senate and giving
strong reasons for this course, as well
as making powerful objections to the
provisions of the bill.
These dispatches were sent to Sen
! ator Beveridge, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Territories, to Senator
of New Hampshire, as well as to sew
eral other senators who are not exact
ly in love with the pending measure
and who would be glad to have it de-
feated. These dispatches were follow
ed up by letters containing strong pro-
tests, giving the result of the recent
election and informing these senators
that the people of this Territory by at
least 80 per cent were strongly and
unequivocally opposed to the passage
of the bill and that it would be waste
of time, energy, labor and money to
have the bill become a law and to hold
a constitutional convention under it.
Governor Otero expects to start for
Washington tomorrow to appear before
the Senate committee on territories
to argue against the passage of the
bill and also to work on the same lines
with Individual senators of whom
quite number are warm personal
friends of the governor.
Women Suffragists at Work.
The woman suffragists are taking a
prominent part in the proposed passage
of the Hamilton Joint statehood bill
and recent Washington special says
in the matter: women suffraglsts of
this city have decided to oppose the
passage of the statehood bill which |
proposes to admit to statehood four
territories under the names of Oklaho- |
ma and Arizona, unless the bill is
amended to- provide for adoption of The |
franchise for women in the proposed
new states.
MRS. Belva Lockwood presided at a
meeting of women suffragists last ev-
ening, at which it was decided to ask
the senate committee on territories to
grant the suffragists hearing on the
amendment desired by them.
Protests aigned by women of New
York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Wash |
ington,, Wyoming and the District of |
Columbia, against admission of new
states with provisions discriminating
against women in enabling acts have |
been presented to congress and a Wig
orous crusade will be carried on by
the women to secure equal suffrage in
the new states, should they be admit
ted.
1T is believed that the bill now be-
fore the senate, which has passed the
house, providing for the admission of
four territories as two states, will be
passed by the senate without opposi-
tion of Democrats, who realize that
statehood in this form is the only
measure that will be allowed by Repub-
lican leaders to go through"
