This office is in receipt ofa copy of the speech of Hon. Henry C. Adams of Wisconsin, made before the House of Representatives on Jan. 25th, 1906. Mir. Adams was a member of the Congress sional party that toured this ter ritory few months ago. Unlike Tawney, he has the courage to stand for his convictions. From the trip through the territory he became convinced that Arizona was forging rapidly to the front, that it was populated by an in. telligent and enterprising people, that her soils are rich and pro- ductive, that she holds second place in the production of copper and also ranks high in the pro- ductlon of other metals. He was of the opinion that it would be a crime to join Arizona on to New Mexico, and the. way he had of. telling the members of the House how he felt wasn't slow. He called their attention to the fact that the Republican platform Of 1900 declared that Arizona and New Mexico should be made sta tes. The cry now is should Ari- zona be made an independent state two more Democratic sena- tors would be sent to the United States Senate; and he asked the question, "When did it become a crime to be. a Democrat?"
