the statehood bill. While the senate
Is very anxious 10 admit Oklahoma
and the Indian territory as a state.
II " my opinion that the house will
refuse TO pass any legislation giving
statehood to Oklahoma unless II is
coupled with a provision admitting
New Mexico and Arizona as a state.
The republicans in the house are wei
organized, and ! do not believe that
the insurrectionists will be able with
the aid OF the democrats 70 change the
present attitude OF the house. II is
possible that in the conference com
mittees that the provision enabling
New Mexico and Arizona 10 erect 4

will again be inserted in The Hamii-
ton bill. But with the Foraker amend.
ment providing that each territory may
vote separately on the question Of
whether 1t desires 10 become a state
attached thereto.
There Is a general feeling prevail
ing among the senators. both repub-
lican and democratic, that New Next
co and Arizona will not be compelled
TO enter the union as a single state
against the will Of either territory,
separately expressed. This Is mani
fest when you consider the large ma
jority cast for the Foraker amend
ment. The New England republican
senators are almost unanimous against
admitting either New Mexico and
Arizona separately as states. While
the western and northwestern sena'
tors are Just as unanimous against
combining them az one state. claim
ing that each territory is well quail
fled to become a state BY itself. With
these prevailing views I am Of the
opinion that II is about as easy te
rot statehood for New Mexico with
out Arizona as II would be to com
bine Arizona with New Mexico.
Senator Macumber Of North Dako
to made a very able argument where
in he favored statehood for both New
! Mexico and Arizona separately. II
the course OF his argument he stated
that the socialists were making grea'
inroads upon both Of the old political
parties, that Chicago was Q gov
erned by a socialist mayor: that there
was a very heavy emigration into tn
United States from Italy and Hungar,
and that they were largely settlins

England manufacturing towns. an
