1t was In the committee on resolu-
tions that the most spirited differen
ces of opinion were brought to the
surface. The two planks causing most
of the discussion were those endors-
ing the Territorial administration and
statehood. 1t was only upon Hon. III.
o. Bursum, assuring his friends that
he certainly approved of the Republi-
can party endorsing the Republi-
can Territorial administration,
and the diplomacy of Hon.
Solomon Luna, who again sustained
his reputation as a pacificator, that OPP
position to the plank subsidized and 1t
was eventually adopted unanimously,
without however, the proposed: I'VE
pledge him our unqualified support" I"
The statehood forces had it out but
the committee by an overwhelming ma
jority declared in favor of joint state
hood. Hon. Solomon Luna presided
over the deliberations of this, the most
important of committees. The commit
tee adjourned for supper and then re-
convened and was in session until af-
ter eight o'clock in the evening, keep
ing the convention waiting.

Address BY c. A. spiess.
