Arizona silver belt., 1904-12-29

Governor Brodie seems to be very hopeful of the defeat of the joiut statehood bill, although he does not give any very substantial reason for his belief. As republican partisan he scouts the idea that the democratic senators will offer any determined re- sistance to the passage of the bill, but with childlike faith in the g.o.p., be- lieves that at the eleventh hour some of the senators of the majority will relent and vote against the statehood bill. Arizona is certainly in bad way if that is the only chance of escape. But the case would not be hopeless, even though the bill did pass the sen ate and received the signature of the president. We believe that the senti
 ment against joint statehood in Arizona and New Mexico would be strong enough to defeat the adoption of the constitution whom 1t came to q vote.
