Phoenix, Feb. 8.-The action of the
Senate in granting statehood to Okla
homa and Indian Territory Jointly and
to New Mexico has aroused much en-
thusiasm and great satisfaction is ex.
pressed. The opinion is generally ex-
pressed that Arizona's chances for ad-
mission have been greatly improved
by the favorable action as to New Mex
leo and that this territory will be ad.
mitted by the next Congress.
What Denver Papers Say.
The Denver papers of this mornings
late print the following expression of
Governor Otero upon receiving the
tidings that the Senate had adopted
the Bard amendment to the Hamilton
Joint Statehood Bill, admitting New
Mexico to statehood with it's present
name and within it's present bound
aries:
'Words can hardly express my de-
light over this triumph for New Mexi
60. We felt keenly the aspersions
that Arizona cast upon this Territory
Ind let me assure you that New Mex
co was just as much opposed to joint
Ire with Arizona as Arizona was to
ointure with New Mexico. The future
ooks bright indeed and New Mexico's
star is in the ascendancy No other
state will ever need to be ashamed of
New Mexico as a sister state"
H. o. Bursum, chairman of the Terri
orial Republican Central Committee,
said: "The people of the Territory
are very much gratified, in
act, the sentiment is almost unani-
nous in favor of statehood. A consti-
ution under single statehood will meet
10 opposition from the people. The
lew state will enter the Union under
he most favorable conditions. In ad-
lition to the impetus which will be
,iven every industry and enterprise,
he Supreme power has blessed us with
.bundant moisture which assures
most prosperous year. All citizens, re.
,ardless of party aff1liation are rejoic-
ng over this outcome of the statehood
light and consider it just recognition
# their constitutional rights by the
United States Congress-"
SENDING THEM BACK.
