Several things are being told
by some Of the Washington gos-

may safely be disregarded. One
Of these is that the bill be defeated.
Another is that a provision vii. be
inserted ii it cutting Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory apart
when either or both attain a
certain population Still another
is that the Republicans viii be
frightened into allowing Arizona
and New Mexico 10 come inN as
separate states.
The passage Of the statehood

session is just as certain as any
political thing can Re which y
