ARIZONA MAY NOT
BECOME A STATE
FRANK M. MURPHY SAYS MANY
HERESiES HAVE BEEN IN
CoRPORATED I'M THE
CONSTITUTION.

New York, November, 1S-F'ranB
NJ. Murphy OF Arizona. who has been
40 less active in the fight TO make
that territory a state then i'm the de-
velopment of the territory itself, said
today that the chances of Arizona S
being admitted into the union at any
time soon are decidedly slim For this
state of things Mr.. Murphy holds Col.
Roosevelt responsible.
II have had advices," said Mr.. Muir
ply at the Holland house today, that
the New Mexico convention will put
up constitution that will insure
state, and il will be Republican. But
IL looks as il the constitution that the
Arizona convention will recommend
will not be accepted either to congress
or the president This is going to he
n great disappointment to all those
who have worked so hard and so long
for recognition. Besides, ! am inclined
To believe that the constitution as
framed up will be rejected by the peo-
pie of Arizona. so that there will have
To be another convention. The people
of Arizona are thus likely to see New
Mexico admitted into the union with
out difficulty, while their own terri
tory may not get statehood for a year
afterward, or perhaps several years.
"The trouble with the instrument
that is being framed by the Arizona
convention is that il contains the in
itiative, the referendum, and the re-
call--all the hereses that have been
tried i'm some of the western states of
late years and found wanting. If the
election of delegates to the convention
could only have been postponed until
the results in the east of the recent
elections had become known, there
would not have "A marked difference.
The trouble SINNERS down to the fact
that the Democrats, Socialists and un-
ion organizations took their cue from
the speech that Roosevelt made at
Pueblo Col. this year. which they

things, new ideas and extreme radi-
calism. While Roosevelt aftorward
disclaimed having said anything that
could be construed as indorsing the
initiative and the referendum. the dis
ciaimer came too late, for the mischief
had been done.
"If the people Of Arizona repudiate
the instrument that is to be submitted
10 them, another constitution will have
to be drawn. If Washington rejects il,
the territory will receive another OPP
portunity to make n constitution.
President Taft, i'm his visit to Arizona,
gave the people lot of good advice.
If they had followed this there would
have been no trouble ahead.
"The insurgency wave had got a
good hold on the country, and IL is
much to the credit of the eastern peo-
pie that they have started i'm To check
it in the right way though a good
price has had to be paid. What has
been done, however, is worth all It
costs"

Great Interest in Games.
Chicago. Ills. Nov. 19.--The East
and West divide the big game honors
today and each is practically for the
of it's section.
The game that most interests the
West is that to be played at Ann Ar

The teams are considered the best

and they go on the field about equal
favorites. These two teams have met
but eight times i'm the past eighteen
years, the record being five victories
for Michigan, two for Minnesota and
one a tie
Yale versus Harvard at New Haven
is the game in the East and upon the
result depends the championship of
the eastern division. Harvard is a de-
cided favorite in the betting, odds in
some instances being as high as
three to one. Since 1890 Yale has
beaten Harvard in twelve games, the
Crimson has won four and two have
been scoreless ties. In the last con-

the days preceding quashing of indict-
ments against certain officials OF the
