Attorney Robert {. Morrison Of
Prescott Talks on the
Situation.
FOR SINGLE STATEHOOD
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and the West Safe for
Roosevelt.

] Attorney ROBERT T.. MORRISON, OF
Prescott, Arizona, who was a guest OF
his father Judge A. L. Morrison, of
Upper Palace Avenue, yesterday, re-
Gently made a trip through the east.
He stopped several days in New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where
he gained much insight into the polit-
lcal situation. Mr.. Morrison had the
following to say to the New Mexican:
Santa Fe | find to be more and
more attractive. In going about the
city, noticed that there are a number
OF fine residences in course of erec-
ton, and in the business district i'm
provements are being made The Cap
ital City is unqiestionably progress
ing. l am glad te again VISIT the place.
Eastern Political Conditions.
"a trip through the east has occu-
pied my time for three weeks. Dur
ing this period I visited in Pennsylva-
MIA, New York and New Jersey, and
also in Washington Being interested
in politics in my own territory, Ari-
zona, I naturally made some inquiry
as to the conditions in the far east,
and found that, as far ais Pennsylva-
mia and New Jersey are concerned,
the conservatives all agree that there
will be no change in the present situ-
alton after the election in November
New York, also, will give handsome
majority for the Republican national
ticket, and Connecticut will do like
wise. The politicians in those states
take the view that there is no good rea-
son why there should be a change in
the national administration In other
words, they are satisfied
'It has been strong and vigorous
administration. The condition of the
country everywhere is prosperous. The
voters, who change the conditions at
Washington are contented with the
present situation
Parker is Unknown.
"Is there any good reason why we
should vote for Judge Alton Brooks
Parker? What does he stand for in
this campaign? These are the ques-
tions the people in both the east and
the west are asking themselves Judge
Parker is spoken of with respect and
honor, and all people who have come
in contact with him say that he is an
able jurist, STILL he never has been a
national figure, and, as the people say
in the Mississippi Valley, has never
been west of the Allegheny mountains
To compare him with President Roos-
evelt, who is familiar with all parts
of the nation, is to make a comparison
that is not at all creditable to Judge
Parker
In the manufacturing districts Of the
country, the declaration of the Demo-
cratic platform to the effect that pro-
lection is robbery is looked upon as
an uncalled for thrus, at our indus
trial institutions. Judge Parker was
on the subject of tariff
There is difference Of opinion, both
in Democratic and Republican ranks,
as to his declaration in regard to the
money question. His famous telegram
to the St. Louis Convention did not
clearly state what his position was
in regard to the gold standard. Many
look upon this move of Judge Parker
as a grand-stand play that he was
obliged to make in view of the fact
that the platform adopted by the Ma
tional Democratic Convention had
nothing to say upon the subject.
Illinois Not Doubtful.
81 visited the Republican national
headquarters at 1 Madison Avenue in
New York City. Here met Chairman
Cortelyou, with whom was previous
ly acquainted found things in a
state of activity and no sign of want OF
interest, as the rooms were crowded
by prominent persons from the vari-
Gus states of the Union.
Coming west, anyone who suggests
that the result will be doubtful in ILL.,
nois does not understand the condt-
tions at all. The Succor State will
have large Republican majority. The
same is also true Of Wisconsin. Indi-
ana, owing to the great personal pop
ularity OF Senator Fairbanks, aside
from the fact that the state has been
for many campaigns, viii
pile up the usual majority for the G.
o. P.
"In the Mississippi Valley President
popularity is even greater
than in the east He Is looked upon
as a strong American character. The
state of Colorado is also a Repuhli-
can certainty.
Single Statehood Desired.
81 am unreservedly for separate
statehood for Arizona, and advocate
also separate statehood for New Mexi-
