It's Fate to Be Settled at
Caucus Today.
TWO DELEGATES DIFFER

Measure Last Appellate Sena-
tor Quay's Plan.

The fate of the statehood proposition Is
to be decided today at caucus OF the re-
rublicans of the House of Representatives,
to be held at o'clock.
From expressions on the part OF repuoli-
cans who will go into this caucus ana VIII
have much to say concerning its action, IL
seems likely that the statehood question Is
to made a party measure, as. in fact, II
was practically when the bill passed tae
House. and that there is to be tug of war
between the Senate and the House, with
the Senate conferees fighting to maintain
the bill that is not supposed to voice the
opinion of majority of the Senate, 6u'
which is recorded as the action of that
body through fortunate parliamentary ma
neuvering on the part of opponents of the

TWO DELEGATES Differ.

Delegate Rodey of New Mexico will be in
the republican caucus this afternoon and
is expected to make a strong plea for con-
currence in the bill as passed by the Sen
ate Mr. Rodey says that the people OF
New Mexico are overjoyed at the idea OF
having single statehood without any part
nership with Arizona. They accepted state
hood with Arizona jointly because they
thought it was the best they could get, but
now that they see single statehood as
possibility they are anxious TO nave the
measure completed.
But while. Redey is for the bill in It's pres
emit form, Delegate Mcclure of Okla homa
would like to see nothing done to leopard
ize statehood for Oklahoma and Indian ter
ritory Jointly. Ever since this measure was
before Congress the Oklahoma people nave
realized that New Mexico and Arizona have
jeopardized their chances for statehood. VI
course, all the territories are working TO-
gether very earnestly In order that they
may all fare as we'll as possible, but at the
same time the Oklahoma people have felt
from the first that if they are defeated in
statehood at this session of Congress 1t Will
be because they are chained hard and fast
to their neighbor territories so far as get
ting legislation is concerned
A Party Measure.
At the caucus this afternoon it will be
represented that in April last the republl-
cans of the House in caucus decided upon
the statehood Dill as pdSoo Wy 'ii0 AA""'o'
That was party measure, being opposed
only by democrats. They do not propose
to give up the purpose of the party at that
time and there appears to be very large
majority now among republicans 1aVorlng
standing pat upon the action Oh the last
caucus.
Speaker Cannon is regarded by republic
cans of the House as favoring this course,
as do practically all of the republican
members of the House committee on terri
tories. 49,
There is also some degree of pride on the
mart of the House to make the senate odch
down. especially in view of the fact tnat
tho Senate bill finally prevailed by ma
iority or one, which might nave Deen
ma iority of one the other way mad Sen,
ator Platt of New York been present, anu
had Senator Knox of pennsylvania peeh
paired. They say that as the matter nov
stands if the House is defeated and the
Senate bill substituted in IT'S place, the 1act
will be that the entire republican party III
the House and most of the republicans IN
the Senate will have been defeated IN thelf
purpose by dozen or SO republican sen
ators who Joined with the democratic side
in defeating what was practically party
measure.
Plan of Late Senator Quay.
There is another strong influence being
welded by men who want the bill as II
was passed by the House. That is, the
