FIGHT OVER STATEHOOD
Renewed IN SENATE
Bill Designed to Meet Presidents s
Objections Encounters
Opposition.

The statehood. bill reported to the Sem
ate yesterday by Senator Smith Of Mich
igan from the committee on territories,
similar to the bill vetoed by the President
except for the ommission OF the recall of
judges in the Arizona constitution. was
taken up for consideration by the Senate
this afternoon on motion of Senator
Smith.
Senator Bailey quickly objected and
demanded to know what had become Of
Smith informed him that the original
measure was in the hands of the House
committee on territories. 1t became ap-
parent that some of the democrats wished
to try to pass the bill over the President S
veto.
The bill reported by Senator Smith was
agreed to by a conference between sub
committees of the committees on terri
tories of both houses. The House COM
mittee agreed to put the measure through
and not to press a vote on the veto. 1t
is known, however, that the House will
wait to see whether the Senate can pass
the bill before taking 1t up. If the bill
fails in the Senate, the House committee
will then endeavor to have passed the
original bill over the Presidents Veto
1t is expected there will be strong op-
position to the new bill, though Senator
Bailey has been opposed to the recall of
the judiciary.
A short colloquy followed between
Senators Smith and Bailey. Mr.. Bailey
said Senator Smith had been quick to
take up democratic resolution" and
Mr.. Smith charged Mr. Bailey with diff
fering with his democratic colleagues.
That is true. said Senator Bailey.
Before this debate Is over intend to
expose the lack of wisdom of those who
are behind this legislation, and / expect
to include the senator from Michigan In
the list of unwise statesmen"

introduced in the Senate by Senator
Smith of South Carolina today, who at
tempted to have a vote taken Immediate

ern states, stating that the crop would
exceed last years by 3.O0o.000 bales and
exceed the crop of any year by 2W0.0b
bales. and that within five weeks the
effect of the report had been to knock the
bottom out of the cotton market. the
price going down $50 bale.
He declared that the real facts i. the
case We're the cotton crop I'm many OF the
states would be less this year than .ast.
