WELL KNOWN ARIZONAN
SPEAKS OF STATEHOOD
Former Delegate TO Congress Talks
Pessimistlcally of Chances or
Entering Union

Mark Smith, former delegate to con-
gress from Arizona, is among the Elks
who have arrived to attend the grand
lodge reunion Mr.. Smith is one of the
most prominent men in public life in
Arizona. More than any other man
he forwarded statehood in the house
as well as the senate. When he was
displaced by Republican he was
eulogized on the floor of the house by
Republican members, among whom he
stood high.
Arizona win be given statehood as
soon as Aldrich, Hale and that gang
see St" said Mr.. Smith last night
For .pme reason the corporate in
terests don't want the territory to be-
come state. There is a suspicion in
Washington that they feel that the
west already has enough representa-
ton, and IL two more senators were
added 1t would be all the harder to
overcome the influence in the United
States senate. i do not know and can
not say that this is the reason state
hood was opposed, but there is a mig
ger in the woodpile somewhere. How
ever, l am not in congress now. I'm
in Los Angeles and here to have a
good time. And propose to do it in
spite of politics and every other in
fluence"
