It is stated that the Liquor in
terests are out for the next Leg
islature in this State and that
they are going to have a major
ity in that body even at a ire
mendous cost of money. The
fact is that we have heard that
they were willing to spend as
much as $3.50, 900 for a majority
in that body. Whether this is
true or false there is one thing
certain and that S that they
realize the power arrayed against
them and can not figure it a trifl-
ing matter. In all probability
the next Legislature of this State
will give one or the other parties
a tremendous advantage. If the
majority favors temperance we
look for Prohibition to follow. but
if the other sentiment prevails
it will unquestionably be serious
ly retarded, if not knocked out
entirely. AS matters now stand

"Why | can sell you that very same

ARlZONANS ARE UNIT
IN STATEHOOD DESIRE
GOV. SLOAN SAYS ADMISSION
is DUE TERRITORY
Chief Executive Declares Citizens Not
Only Desire to Become One Of
Union, but Confident They
viii Get II Soon

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-In their
desire for statehood, the people of
Arizona are unit, says Governor
Sloan in his annual report on affairs
of the territory, submitted to the sec
retary of the interior today.
"They not only desire it," he adds,
''but confidently expect to receive it
from the present congress. This conf
dence is based on declarations made in
recent political platforms, favorable
consideration hitherto given to efforts
of the territory to obtain admission by
the house of representatives and the
seemingly growing sentiment in favor
of early admission on the part of the
senate, and particularly on the ground
that, in the light Of the precedent
congress has hitherto set in the ad-
mission of new states, statehood is due
us as a matter of fair and just treat
ment"
The population of the territory is
estimated at more than 200,0 900. Gov
ernor Sloan reports the last year was
one of general prosperity and was
marked by a substantial growth in
the output of mines and in products
of the soil.

Americans, representing all but three
of the states and territories of the
United States, made homestead entries

These figures, compiled today by Of

With the figures for November and
December still to be received from the
various registration offices, it is eX-
pected the entry list for the year will
show over 11,OOO Americans as home
