Why should they not be? They dwell

a blue heaven stretches over them. For
all those reasons the Yankees may well
laugh. The Americans are. moreover,

WILL Be NO DELAY
Statehood at Once Says Teddy It
is Certain that the President
Will Approve Constitution.

| Washington, D. c., Oct. rs. = A
straight tip comes at noon today that
President Roosevelt is absolutely GER
tain to approve the constitution. This
is direct from headquarters.
The president may make formal
statement today. He will do this to
stop the republican activity here
against the instrument. Secretary
Bonaparte is standing pat on his first
declaration that the constitution Is
republican In form. The republicans
are using the same old arguments and
Henry asp and Charley Hunter are
leading the fight to have the presi-
dent to refuse to issue the proclama-
tion.
Hunter has trunk full Of what he
terms to be evidence to show that the
democrats were guilty Of sharp prac-
tices at the recent election. He is not
making much headwaY. 1t is said
noon that In all probability the presi-
dent would make some definite state
ment this evening.
The many federal appointments will
not be announced nntil after action is
taken on the constitution. Hon.
Frank s. Monett, a prominent Roose-
velt republican OF Ohio and a close
Deronal friend Of the president is In
the city and will have conference
with the president ou the constitution
this afternoon.
There are quite number of prom
lnent democrats In town and at least
$50 republican politicians are here,
many Of them fighting against state
hood and at the same time, asking
that If statehood comes, they be given
a fat berth at the federal pie counter.
