Arizona republican., 1905-10-13

Beveridge were impressed by the sight. The Indiana senator did not see the children at all. He became absorbed in the contemplation of an adobe church on the opposite side of the street.
 MT. Tawney, who is regarded as the leader of the party and who was large ly Instrumental in its organization, and MT. Davis, aIsO of Wisconsin, said last night that when they started they had intended to be entirely non committal. They had found it at first easy to be so. But after they got into Arizona and had seen so much that they had not expected to see, all to the credit of the territory they found it harder to restrain themselves and were about ready to submit to inter views on he subject of joint statehood. They did not say what the nature of their interviews would be but it can be easily inferred that nothing would be said that could be construed into unfriendMnesS to the territory. MT. Adams, also of Wisconsin, mad little to say on the joint statehood question but no member of the party was more favorably impressed than he.
 It was remarked by several or the gentlemen that they had curiously seen no persons of Spanish descent in the tour through New Mexico. They did not meet them at Raton, Las Ve- gas or at other places where functions had been arranged in their honor and they saw none from the car windows in the smaller towns through which they passed.
 IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATION.
 Two of the representatives said that their purpose in coming had been to see all that was to be seen in the limited time at their disposal and to talk with all who cared to talk with them and to hear all that was to be said in favor of the territory. They said that they had not come to listen only to what they might want to hear and to see only those things which might not be entirely creditable to the territory. They wanted to see the best and nearly all that they mad seen was the best. Though in this connection they did not mention the name of MT Beveridge they had his famous inves- tigating tour in mind.
 As has been mentioned, among those accompanying the party is Sergeant at-Arms Harry Casson of the house of representatives. MT. Casson is a pleas ant gentleman with a long public eX- perience. He has also had some jour nalistic experience, having conducted paper at Peoria, III.
 Mir. Madden, who was lately elected to congress, is an old acquaintance and friend of J. c. Adams. so the pleasure of visiting the territory is joined with the pleasure of meeting MT. Adams.
 All of the gentlemen expressed their appreciation of the courtesies which l they had received at the hands of Col Randolph and Messrs. F. NJ. Murphy, Walter Douglas, Jas. Colquhoun of the l Arizona Copper company, anc Mr. Simmons of the Fl Paso and South western.
 Delegate Smith has in store for the | visitors something that he believes will | impress them still more and still fur | ther prove the right of Arizona to con- l sideration- He has shown them how | the territory has surpassed other re- | gions in mining, worthy men and | handsome women. He is now going | to show them how far it is ahead of | the rest of the earth in maintaining a | great hole in the country. Most of the | representatives have never seen the | Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 TODAY'S PROGRAM.
 | So far as could be ascertained, to- | days program has been changed but little if at all. Early in the forenoon l the visitors will be taken to call on i the governor and Chief Justice Kent | and shown such places about the towr as may be of interest. The next will l be a drive by the fair grounds, the | Adams stock ranch, one of the ostrich | farms and the Indian school. Return | ing by Central avenue it is expected | they will be in town again about noon
 The central school building will Dt
 
 and there the children of the city schools will greet them. The childrer will report as usual at their respectivt schools this morning and it has beer arranged that at 11:3O they will marcl from the ward buildings to the cen tral building, under escort of thei l teachers. This ceremony and the sub | sequent review, will necessarily talk
 up a portion of the noon hour, henc
 it is not unlikely that those childrel
 who go home for their dinners vii
 be late and parents are advised tha
 they need not worry if the children d
 not come home at their usual time
 They will be carefully looked after b
 the teachers and their tardiness a home should not be construed as evi
 dence either of accident or willful con
 duct. They will come as soon as the = , late yesterday to give the parents not
 ice through their children in school.
 Immediately after the conclusion c
 the school review the visitors will b
 taken to their special train and thenc
 to Mesa, where they will be entertain
