COL WILSON HAS SURE PLAN
FOR STATEHOOD.
cFrom "Wednesday Daily

Col j. +. Wilson Of this city, twice
Democratic delegate to Congress from
this Territory, has made another bid
for political notice by asserting that,
in his opinion, Arizona should not press
her claims for single statehood at tnis
term of Congress.
In an interview with n press repre-
sentative, Col. Wilson said
"Thc statehood proposition il one
IN which ] nm rs much interested nv
any other man, but ] do not believe
that Arizona will secure statehood nj,

sire statehood would be more effective
" put forth IL directed, not in pre-
scnting bills to'Congrcss for statehood,
but in urging our delegate to present

eminent census of the population o'
this Territory.
President Roosevelt, in n recent in
iervi,w with Senator Flint, OF Califor
uia, said no believed that both Arizona
and New Mexico were entitled to sepa
rate statehood, eventually, because OF
the fact that they had expressed them
selves against Joint statehood when tn
proposition was submitted to them. The
President further said he wouI'
heartily endorse statehood for Aiizon'

dent is a sincere convert to our figh
to statehood, and therefore believe
would be best to get a bill througl

Fix Delegate Wilson stated that n
was convinced there were more tha'
100000 inhabitants Of Arizona, an
that n census would 50 prove WI
