BRIBERY CHARGEs

Insurgents, Led By Tawney, De.
clare they Will Not Relent,
in Face Of Stories.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The statehood
insurgents in the house Of representa-
tives, led by Representative Tawney Of
Minnesota, claim they have already won
their fight and that it will not be pos
sible at this time to pass any bill which
gives joint statehood to a Arizona and
New Mexico.
A new feature has entered the con-
test in the form of certain indirect
charges by prominent senator, who is
one of the leaders for joint statehood,
that some of the house insurgents have
been "bribed'' by the gift of stock in
southwestern gold and copper mines.
One Of the insurgent republicans today
declared that this bribery charge had
embittered the contest to such degree
as to make it impossible for the in
surgents to relent: He says that no bill
can be passed which fails to give Ari-
IONA and New Mexico an opportunity
to vote upon the question separately,
and that even such bill as this may
fail.

At any rate, the word graft has been
