STARE FACT IN FACE,
URGES WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENT
Both Houses VIII Be More.
Than Pleased 10 Find an tx
cuse for Rejecting the New
Constitutions,

mind immediately on that point and
stare the real facts in the face. Up
TO the last day senator Aldrich. who
has quite Il power Ia HE senate. SAID
he would not congcnt to tho admis-
sion into the sisterhood Of states. OF
the territories OF New Mexico and
Arizona, II required some OF tho
closest political work that has been
done for many q day to get the state-
hood bill passed by the senate. Some
day the inside facts viii bc given 10
the people. suffice II Ia SAY now that
IL was not intended that the bin
should be come q law at the last Sos
sion, and the plans were set to pre-
vent II. The fun intention was 10 get
tho bill Into conference ana then TO
reach IT next winter or never n
most likcl, the latter. and today the
influences thai control In the senate
are praying that some clause required
by The statehood bill will hc omitted,
or that some section or clause VII
give them q resemblance of AN excuse
10 reject the bill next winter. The
president. when he signed the state-
hood bill, stated 10 the delegates and
others present, that MI he had to say
was Tint they 10 back and see that
their conventions send shfe md a n
constitutions Ia him to be signed
Now 1t la safe to infer that II the
president does not think the cOnsti-
tutions are safe and sane" that he
will not recommend favorable action
by congress, that he viii not sign them
aud VIII not Issue his proclamation
admitting New Mexico and Arizona to
statehood, As stated before, the puw-
ors that control In the senate would
be more than pleased to find somc
small excuse To reject both constitu
lions. Delegates Andrews and cam
cron and many others that know the
inside facts, can confirm that as the
exact and true situation. Now It isl
M to the people Of Arizona and New
Mexico 70 say whether they want
statehood now or wait for another
twenty years or go. II would be a
comedy II not tragedy to hear some
people talk about their large popula
lions. their great resources. their con-
stitutlonal and ether rights. The peo
pie OF "A territory are Ike poems 81
subjects. They do not vote Tor presi-
dent. they have no representation in
the senate. their delegate has no vote
even IN the house nor la tho com
mittrcs. The senate gives the terri
tories such consideration as II p%leases
pnd no more; and sneers at their
claims. Fake oklahoma aud indian

Congress 'iust put them together as
one state. slapped prohibition IN the
bargain aud said You sixteen hum
drcd people take n a or stay out as

II was accepted rather thAn to remain

nation admitting them to statehood
The people fairly got wild with the
thought of being rejected They sent
