KEEP UP THE FIGHT FOR STATEHOOD

Be no dispositiontc hasten the negotiations for an
agreement,
That an agreement will be reached upon the basis
of one of the Foraker amendments is confidently

But, no one is 50 sanguine as to believe that We
are past the breakers That point will be reached on
" when the President has signed the bill.
Meantime while the bill is dragging, there is
grave danger that the statehood workers in the terri
tories, thinking their labors are finished. will rest
on their oars. merely waiting for congress 10 give the
finishing stroke to the bill A splendid fight the great

ment to relax our efforts. A prominent senator and
friend Of statehood has written ter to one Of the
