CONGRESSMAN ADAMS.

Congressman Adams, of Wisconsin, was the next speaker. It was his un- derstanding that .when the party left Chicago, there were two things forbidl den on the journey, one being not to play cards, and the other not to make any speeches.
 "The first day when we were out, '" remarked the speaker, "I was in a hole, and the second day I was in a deeper hole. The third I got into a hole on the top of a mountain.'' Con- tinuing, MT. Adams said: "You have exercised your hospitality as well as any set of men I ever met. I want to say that in Arizona have had as good dinners as were ever served in the Waldorf Astoria. Your resources are surprising. Your skill in preparing a feast fit for the gods is beyond belief, were it not for the fact that we can personally testify to your ability in that line. I am not like the man who said that he was raising alpaca hay by irritating the soil, and have no hesitaney in declaring where l stand-not like Brother Martin, who said he voted for joint statehood be- cause of the powers that be, but I vot- ed for it because I did not know any  your captain. I surrender completely.

SPEAKERS ALL
 FOR STATEHOOD

Judge Sloan ably offciated as toast master, and said: "It gives me sin cere pleasure to welcome the congress sional delegation, and other guests to the Yavapai club, which represents much of the intelligence and wealth of northern Arizona I welcome you to Arizona for twofold reasons. First, we are glad to know you as gentle men, and second, as representative to Congress, realizing to what extent your visit means to us. Knowing you as we do, we believe in you and we trust that you believe also in us. Regardless of the estimate that you have formed of us, we are willing to make eorpor- ate oath that we are as good as we seem to be. We are glad to welcome you and for you to visit us, and be- lieve that we will receive ample jus tice at the hands of the 59th Con gress.

CONGRESSMAN DAVIS.

Congressman Davis of Minnesota con- fessed that he had been taught that Arizona was not fit for statehood through reading the Beveridge report, and now he was prepared to make a re- port of his own. ''I am making a col lection of menus, and now, don't you think that they will make a stronger argument than Senator Beveridge's re- port2 I voted for joint statehood. Tut now I know better. If the Bevcrid-e report is true, how wonderfully Arizona has changed. I won't say how I am going to vote, as a Congressman should not do so, but can say that I am from the west, that my hope lies in the west, and that I don't want to see any more states with such vast domains as Texas. This question of admitting a state is the most solemn question that one can deal with. It cannot be revoked for all eternity. I believe that Arizona to- day is competent to be admitted into

 CONGRESSMAN MAYNARD.
 Congressman Maynard; of Virginia, stated that he was proud of his state because of it's famous hospitality, but if any of his neighbors had been pre- sent on this occasion they would have blushed for the comparison. If it had not been for his social and family ties, the speaker declared that he would re- main in Prescott and sell his return ticket. He admired the resources and industry of the territory, and the pluck and grit of the people, and as regards the statehood question, he said: ct is no use to say how I am going to vote am too old to change. I voted for single statehood and against state hood"
 CONGRESSMAN MARSHALL.
 Congressman Marshall of South Da- kota asserted that he was the only man up to this time that had not made a speech. "Arizona does not ask for any favor from any Congressman or Senator,' he remarked. "Au you want is that the truth may be told. I believe that every member of this par ty will go home and preach the true gospel. for one will so do and in do- ing so will revise my former views Aside from my own personal interests, believe it is wrong for any Congress man to broaeh the idea of a union of the two territories.
 Frank M. Murphy was the conelud ing speaker, and upon rising was giv- en demonstration. His words were brief, stating that it had been decidedly unfair, yes, it was almost a crime to | ladies of the pleasure of hearing the eloquent sentiments that had been ex- pressed.
 The company then dispersed, and went upstairs to the ballroom, where Congressman Adams and Tawney spoke, after which dancing was the diversion until midnight to music supplied by an orcho1tra consisting Of Mrs. Smith, Miss i.-rille Morrison, and J. A. Zander.

stitute monument of which any state in the union might well feel proud. What these two territories need is not agitation. Only two obstacles exist, and they cannot be overcome until customers are forced to recognize that you are no longer a territory, and when this is recognized the sentiment will be for statehood. I want to say to you further that you have adopted the only method to secure statehood, and that Is to withdraw your application. Nothing will help you so much as the develop ment of your resources. Wait until the great irrigation projects under way have been eonsummated, and the ter ritory populated, and there will be no power under the sun then that can keep you out of the union. When you settle whether you will continue the agitation for statehood or remain un- der federal power, that will determine your future'

CONGRESSMAN MADDEN.

Congressman Madden, of Illinois, the next speaker, uttered a sentiment that was heartily echoed: ''YOu have one public-spirited man." said he, "that cannot be too highly commend ed. I refer to Frank NJ Murphy. Thanks to his efforts more than to any other source, is due the visit of this delegation. We are simply here to ascertain your wishes-we are your megaphones. As I understand it, you want single statehood or none. The day will come when you will get it. If I can help you I will do so, believing that when do I speak the sentiments of tn best people of Arizona"

DELEGATE SMITH.

Delegate Mark Smith was introduc- ed, and he said in the course of his re- marks: "I have never seen a better table nor a finer lot of intellectual men than are here this evening. have told my colleagues that had the best constituency in the union, and I think I have proved my assertion. I can congratulate Arizona that it is the first time in my life have had few witnesses to stand by me on the pro position against uniting Arizona with New Mexico. They tell Us to wait, and so afraid am I of the obstacles that confront us at present, and so confident am as to the future that I will not introduce a bill for the admission of Arizona as a state As well as know this territory have been surprised on this trip as to its marvellous develop ment. I would rather die in Ari- zona as a territory than have my chil- dren 's children rest under the curse of joint statehood with Mexico"

CONGRESSMAN STENNERSON.

Congressman Stennerson of Minne- sota prefaced his remarks with the statement that the delegation started out with the modest intention of being educated. "We feel grateful for our visit" said he, Ffor it will enable us to discharge our official obligation bet ter than otherwise could be done. We can stand out for you, knowing of your wonderful resources. We have seen and been convinced. We have been charmed by your people. They have appeared to us as delightful and polished citizens. Nowhere can there be excelled the schools we have seen. I have not the least doubt that in the near future your agricultural resour- ces will equal your mineral resources, and that you will not only join the great sisterhood of states but even sup nlv laader for tbam ,j

CONGRESSMAN GoEBEL.

Congressman Goebei, of Ohio, ohe of the directors of the Great Peck mine, who was here several months ago, dur ing which time he made many friends, expressed himself thus: 'fMy friends, you have entertained us royalty, and I want to thank you. We have passed through New Mexico and Arizona and more than ever am I convinced that you ought not to be joined to New Mexico. 1 am convinced that you have been done a great injustice in the report of that distinguished senator for Indiana. He has injected ele
 ments into it that were never before considered in the admission of any ter ritory into the union. The great dan ger to you today is that you might be annexed to New Mexico. We shall go back better informed and better able to explain to others what we have seen and what we now know"
