Gpmmittee on Finance, U. s. Senate
Washington, D G., May u, 1904
Dear Mr. Rodey:
In answer to your letter Of the
End, asking my opinion with reference
to the possibilities Of the passage Of
the joint statehood bill at the next
session OF congress, will say that It
Is the general understanding that the
bill Is to be taken up the very first
days of the session, and that i will
pass the senate y an sarly day
| will also say that, In my judgment,
there is no possibility Of the bill be
ing amended In the senate SO as 70
provide for the admission Of New
Mexico as q separate state. and that
your only chance Of securing state
hood. at least for q long time'to come,
lies in the acceptance Of the house
bill.
Very trnly yours,

good friend, Senator Stephen B. Elk
ms, OF West Virginia. The senator Is
really one OF our best friends, but he
really does not know SO much about
the statehood question as some other
Of our friends, because he never gave
it as much attention as they did. He
is too busy man with his own large
interests.
You will note that he is strictly in
favor Of New Mexico as a separate
state. but he realizes that We cannot

cannot get III alone for twenty-five
years. But our people are entitled 70

could not be done, because Beveridge,
Lodge. Nelson, Quarles. Spooner, et
ais. would not stand for 1t,
Our people will notice what he says
about the name and how radically op
posed he Is to the name New Mexico
Nobody can question the senator's
friendship for us. II Is well known
Whenever, he talks to me about New
Mexico, he expresses the deepest love
for our territory and our people, and
he Is really our best friend. He doe
not like the name Arizona either
but In private conversations with me
he thought maybe that It would bt
better than to drop both Of them.
