tory. Il reads:
THE President, Washington, d. C.
I'VE sincerely regret that the joint
statehood bill should have been defeat
ed In the Senate. We are extremely
anxious for statehood of some kind. If
New Mexico were admitted as a sep.
arate state, she would be surely and
safely Republican and favorable to
your administration. We strongly
and urgently request that you favor
an amendment providing for the ad-
mission of New Mexico in the bill ad.
mitting Oklahoma and excluding Ari.
zona from further consideration.
