DnI ITInc nhIlc[ W-IIIUU UnUUL IF BLOCKING
 STATEHOOD
Roosevelt WeakenS In Face of Opposition and DiscourageS Those Who Would Help Ari- zona and New Mexico,

Reports from Washington. D. C., are that President Roosevelt's an aouncement that he will remain neu. taI in the event that a statehood contest comes up in the next congress has served to effectually sGuelch the hopes of those friends of the terri srries, who, because of the admission at Democratic Oklahoma and for oth- ex reasons apparently as sound, had hnped for some action in favor Of Ari- zana and New Mexico at the coming ssssion.
 Statements made immediately fol laying the Presidents Mississippi trip A2s led friends of the territories @serywhere to believe that the execu- sfFe intended to urge the admission ul A3zona and New Mexico on congress and to support the measure with all nke great influence at his command.
 f the president is to remain pas zfVe, it means that even under most eavorable conditions otherwise, little ax nothing could be done. Other con sstions, however, are not favorable, and the situation, insofar as the i'm mediate future is concerned, is dis ksnctly gloomy.
 There are several causes leading up to this gloomy outlook in addition to the attitude of the President. First h is pointed out that Senator Bev- erfdge is likely to give up the position sf chairman of the senate committee Sn territories to take a position on the majority side of the great committee sn appropriations.
 Membership in that committee Efves higher standing than the chair Nanship of any other committee, and Senator Beveridge is ambitious and A looking out for his own political ad- Eancements as politicians are prone to do.
 This change would be unfortunate fer, strange as 1t may seem to Ari- zonans, Senator Beveridge is under xtood to have come to view the state hood matter as President Roosevelt does; that the verdict of the people at the polls in Arizona should be EDal and that when the territories are admitted they should come in as sep arate states.
 In the event of this change the 1hairmanship Of the senate commit see on territories would fall to Sena- sor Dillingham; of Vermont, who is
  rate statehood or statehood of any kind for Arizona and New Mexico.
 Senator Hanshorough of North Da- kofa and Senator Garter of Mo3tana are the only members Of the senate -. -a----------x1-----a- .-.s--I-s..s~ 5esss. ss4akahs4aa an fIaoi-- ~wn account, all the others who went 60 Washington and successfully stTug. ked for statehood for the territories Having retired from public life.
 These two northwesterners will sup port separate stateho d for the ter Kft6 rieg whenever t comes along, but shey win have little opportunity 10 dc anything at the coming sessicn.
 The political situation in New Mex Rco is coming in for some attention here as a result of the renewed effort 4o gain admission and that situation k not causing much enthusiasm, par kcularly among Republicans.
 Quietly, the strongest card for the admission of New Mexico right away,
