The date set for the vote on the
statehood bill is March 9th. 1t IS
believed that the bill will pass
with the Foraker amendment, and
that the House will accept the
amendment and dispose OF the
measure as soon as it is presented.
The Foraker amendment provides
that the question OF admission OF
the Territories as a Joint state be
submitted to a vote Of the people
of the territories who will vote on 1t
separately, and If either Territories
casts a majority of votes against It
statehood is defeated. The opln-
ion seems prevalent i'll the two
territories, among the newspapers,
anyway, hat Arizona will poll a
majority OF votes against JOINT adj
mission, and that New Mexico will
be for it. The News does not
concur in this opinion, as we be-
lieve that it's chances will be more
favorable in Arizona than III New
! Mexico. The entire, or almost
the entire native element OF
this territory is opposed to joint
admission, and their vote, aug
mented by that of the American
opposition in both parties, is likely
to defeat it in New Mexico. There
is another feature that we may
lose out on before the bill with
the Foraker amendment is put to
a vote on its passage, and that is,
should action be delayed longer
than the time set for it's consider

have it tabled in order to give right
