Special to the Morning Journal
Washington, Jan 23.-Tonight Is
the night before the battle and both
the friends and enemies of joint state-
hood are at a high pitch Of excitement.
Every line is drawn tight. Champions
and opponents OF the Hamilton bill
have done their best and all Is over
but the roll call.
The statehood fight this year Is one
of the closest ever fought on the floor
of the house of representatives. At
the eleventh hour both the insurgents
and the organization are claiming VIC
tory with equal confidence. There IS
no doubt that it will be a close shave
either way. A dozen powerful pleas
will be made tomorrow for the pas
sage of the bill and if It fails to pass
/. will not be because its friends have
not put up a splendid fight

Declares His Close Friend
Jacob A. RiiS.
PRESIDENT WOULD NOT
SHRINK FROM CALL OF DUTY
Noted Writer Declares Party Lines
Will Vanish in Election
Of 1908,

Toledo, O., Jan. 23.--Jacob A. Riis,
close friend aud writer of biography
of President Roosevelt. asserts that
the president may become candidate
for denomination in 1908. He said to-
dav:
If duty demanded that President
Roosevelt continue this fight, he would
do it, | know he does not want to
become a candidate for another term.
but at the bottom of his heart he be-
Iieyes the people will fight for him"
The first indications of the indirect
effect of the Roosevelt administration
says Mr. Riis, will be felt in the con-
gressionai elections of 1907, when par
ty lines will be wiped out
Washington, Jan 2S.-Jacob A..
Riis' declaration that President Roose-
velt would run for q third term if it
became necessary in order to achieve
the defeat of the money power, a"
which he believes is engaged IN OBJ
structing the administration reform
program. attracted considerable atten-
tion here In fact everything printed
bearing ON the presidents political
ambition attracts much attention ana
especial importance is attached to Mr.
Riis statement that party lines will
be wiped out in 1908" This it is de-
clared foreshadows the formation Of a
Roosevelt party that will sweep the
president in for a third term
Representatives of the president
point out significant things, both north
vi ts, l.
lief. They say that the president has
already laid the ground for q "Rocse-
welt party" in the north He can eth
er control the republican party I'm New
York and New England or create a
Roosevelt party" just as he chooses
In the south he is working to appease
the southern democrats His appoint-
mont of General Luke Wright to be
ambassador to Toxic is regarded as
purely political. His selection of
Judge Ross of Arkansas. to be one Of
the American delegates to the second
peace conference at The Hague is on
the same lines. His determination to
retire negroes in the south as office
holders so that they can make way for
white men is part Of the same policy
There is a very general feeling that
the president expects to get strong
support from the south and he is seek
ing to hold enough southern men In
congress to carry through his meas
ures, despite republican opposition.
The southern democrats saved the
Philippine tariff bill last week
Senator Tillman, when asked about
! the statement of Mr.. Riis, said he was
not surprised at It, Many members Of
congress however, Immediately "froze
up" They resent the idea that the
president is the only representative Of
the American people In Washington
and that they are controlled by the
money power" except when the pres
| ident spurs them into action; but they
don't want TO talk about IT,
