Arizona republican., 1906-01-25

which no one had objection.
 MT. Williams yielded ten minutes to MT. Mondell of Wyoming one of the republican insurgents who expressed hope that the demand for the previous question would be voted down.
 NOT A PARTY MEASURE.
 Mir. MOndell denied that the bill was a republican party measure, every man., woman and child in Arizona was op- posed to being joined to New Mexico. There was a large number in the house, who, if their hands were not tied, would vote against joining these two territories. He characterized the pro- posed rule as a violation of party pledges.
 reply to MT. Mondell was made by Mir. Grosvenor of Ohio who main tained that the joint statehood bill was republican measure. The president was for it and the house in caucus had endorsed it. That it was a party ques- tion, he said will be easily recogniz- ed within the next hour and a half, as every democratic member on the floor would vote against the rule and the bill
 When MT. Grosvenor had concluded MT. Williams protested with great warmth against MT. -Grosvenor's efforts to make this a partisan question. The question of the permanent welfare of the people of the two territories should never be partisan measure. Opposition to the rule was made by MT Adams of Wisconsin one of the republican insurgents. Appealing for the rights of the people of the great state of New York, MT. Payne of New York. who followed, protested against equal representation in the senate from the territories. Should the providence of God.' he said, "inflict the country with a democratic rule we should have such legislation
 J. Adam Bede of Minnesota who followed began: "If we have demo- cratic rule, it wo,tt be the providence of God; it will be the mistakes of the he continued after order had been se- cured, "the Payne speaks about the New York senators--most people are trying to forget them"
 AGAINST HIS JUDGMENT.
 Mir. Tawney took the floor and brief ! ly explained that in lowing to the l leaders of the house in supporting the rule he did so against his own judg- ment.
 Mir. Jones of Washington professed more love for Speaker Cannon than any man in the country and also re- gard for the president, but he absolute | ly refused to go against his conscience and follow then in this matter. He l had supported the present opposition | two years ago, but since then he had visited Arizona and after seeing the splendid civilization there he should not vote now to destroy it. MT. Smith, delegate from Arizona, who spoke for three minutes, seemed 1 somewhat depressed The action of MT. Tawney in taking the floor against him was, he said, the most "unkindest" cut of all.
 Mir. DeArmond of Missouri and Mir. Kahn of California spoke against the rule when four minutes and a half was | yielded to MT. Babcock or Wisconsin the leader of the insurgents. He had, he said, always been opposed to joint statehood. He considered joining Ari- zona and New Mexico s-s q crime. He said the argument against single state hood was i've shall have four demo- cratic senator's"
 | In this connection he referred to the passage of tho Dingley tariff bill, | which he said could not have passed but for the vote of Senator Jones of Nevada. whose every amendment was accepted. He secuted the idea that those states would be democratic.
 The debate was closed by MT. Dalzell in favor of the rule. MT. Dalzell based his argument in oposition to single statehood that it was unjust to the leastern sections to have senators, who represented nothing but rocks and sand" have as much weight as senators representing large eastern states He asserted that it was partisan ques- tion. Both parties by caucuses had made it a party measure. He gave the republican vote in the last congress or the proposition when the rule was SUD- ported almost unanimously by the re- publicans.
 "I am admirinG the ingenuity of the gentleman as a party leader" respond ed MT. DalzeII. "in yielding his time tc members who he is going to vote solid- Iy against the rule. but to republicans whom he hopes to have follow his lea dership.'
 MT. DaIzen demanded a roll call or ordering the previous question on the adoption of the rule. The roll call be- gan at 11:45 o'clock During the dis cussion of the rule Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice occupied seats in the eX' ecutive gallery
 THE VOTE.
 Speaker Cannon requested the call ol his own name and voted for the rule The rule was adopted, the vote being 192 ayes, 165 nays.
 MT. Williams asked for recapitula' tion of the vote which was granted at- 7 ter some objection by the speaker who ; stated that the rule had been carried , by a large majority and such actioT was not usual.
 On the motion for the adoption of the rule, Mir. Williams demanded another roll call, which was ordered. As th' vote on the previous question was prac' ticalIy the adoption of the rule many members left the chamber for luncf during the call and many persons de' parted from the galleries.
