Washington, D. c., March 13.-Suf
ticient names for a Republican caucus
to be held at o'clock Thursday after
noon next on the Hamilton joint state
hood bill have been secured. The mat
ter of the Hamilton joint statehood
bill will be thoroughly considered and
the chances are that Speaker Cannon
will be sustained by the majority vote
of the caucus. This may mean the
defeat Of the Hamilton bill at the
present session and may bring about
the creation OF four states during the
short session of the 59th Congress. II
is admitted that the new state of Okla
homa with the Indian Territory, will
be surely Democratic by 10000 and
over in the 1908 elections and this may
give the presidency to the Democracy
as well as the next House of Repre-
sentatives. The question of politics is
evidently entering into the statehood
situation and may help New Mexico
to separate statehood, as leading Re
publicans claim that the new state
will be safely Republican by from
eight to twelve thousand majority.
The Colorado incident of 1876 may
be repeated in 1908. All posted on
current history of the country remem
Der we'll that Colorado was admitted
by a Democratic Congress in order to
get the vote of the new state for the
Democracy, but that the electoral vote
OF 1t was cast for Hayes which elected
him over Tilden.

bring about the location of fish hat
cherry in their Territory this will be
done.
