Tsperial Dispatch 10 the Morning Jourusil
Washington. d. C., Aug. The
fate OF the statehood resolution in the
senate apparently rests with the So
called "unholy alliance" or combina-
ton Of insurgont republicans and DEM
ocrats which so recently has assumed
almost absolute control of the senate.
This Is the coalition which passed the
bill fer the revision of the tariff on
wool and the farmers free list bill,
and II Is said tonight that it is detern-
ined TO pass the Flood statehood reso-
htion In practically the form in which
II came from.the house. The situation
has gone beyond anything the New
Mexico ait. '~izona , ggatiVns can
do and IT IL not believed that anyone
will present an amendment eliminate
ing the recall of Judges from the Ari-
zona constitution, which would make
statehood certain. At present It APP
pears that Bailey Of Texas and O'Gor-
mon. the new senator from New York
will be the only democrats, and Ken
yOn the only insurgent republican to
oppose the Flood resolution. TINS
will give II clear majority of five in
the senate.
Being q house measure, tho resolu-
ton will naturally meet with favor
there, and it now appears that the
president will have to use his veto
to keep the territories out.
Both the insurgent republicans and
the democrats are asserting that Tatt
will not veto the Flood resolution
They do not expect him to sign II, but
profess to believe that he will allow II

the "unholy alliance" In the event
that the president does veto the reSo-
luton. Is to pass another resoluuon'
with the judicial recall eliminated,
but providing that the New Mexico
people shall vote on the easier amend :
ment feature Of their constitution. rms
resolution, Il Is claimed, can be put
through both the house and senate be-
fore September /.
The New Mcxicans here are not Ill
sympathy with this program, They
prefer statehood Immediately under q
resolution which they know VIII give
II to them, but the democrats III thc
house, and tho insurgents in the SEN
ate, are feeling too jubilant over their
recent successes In putting the presi-
dent in a hole" to allow this chance 10
get away from them. Apparently the
ambitions Of half = million American
citizens are matters of minor consluer-
ation when an opportunity to score
party or factional political advantage
presents itself
Although the senate met at ~
o'clock this morning and continued
steadily at work until this after
noon. 1t was early evident that vote
could not be reached today. This was
due to the large number of senator's
Win speeches which they just natur-
any mad to get out of their systems

reached tomorrow, but the speakers
are so frequently interrupted by ques--
uohs from senators holdin~ different
views that much time Is consumed.
