Viii Arizona Be Kept Out Because
II Is Democratic,

Senator Charles A. CulberSon
of Texas has issued a statement
roundly scoring those Democrats
who opposed the admission of
New Mexico and Arizona during
the closing days of the last Ses-
sion because the Arizona consti-
tuition contained the initiative,
referendum and recall. The
statement marks the widening
of the breeeh between Senator
CulberSon and Senator Bailey,
who opposed the admission of the
States and resigned from the
Senate, only to reconsider his
resignation within six hours, be-
cause a majority of the Demo-
Gratis had followed Senator Owen
in voting fayorably on the adj
mission of the two States. SEN
ator Culberson said that the DEM
ocrats in the Senate should COM
bine in favor of admitting the
| two States. He said in part:
/. believe the two territories
have the requisite population and
are entitled to admission into the
/ Union as an original question.
,. The Democratic platform OF
| 1908 declared for their immediate
admission and pledged the party
/ to that policy.
>. New Mexico is normally Re-
publican and Arizona normally
Democratic. To admit New Mex
/ leo and deny admission TO Ari-
IONA would give an unjust and
undeseryed advantage to the Re-
Ipubl,cans in the contest for SUI
I r.5maey in the Senate.
(. The enabling act OF Con-
qress of 1919 provided for their
admission upon their complying
with certain requirements in
their constitutions and ordi-
nances and each territory COM
Piled fully and completely with
them.
5. Some objections are urged
to the constitution which the peo-
nln of Arizona adonted. but
favored its admission upon the
broad ground that their internal
affairs should be left to the peo-
pie of that territory free from
Federal dictation. for that is an
attribute of their sovereignty.
| Oklahoma was admitted into the
Union in 1907, although its con-
stitution contained the initiative
and referendum.

an influence for a greater good.
When the people Of all the Ameri-
can countries learn that the assur-
ance given by Secretary Root at the
Rio conference was made IN good
faith, our protection will be largely
sought. instead Of sullenly or pass
lively accepted. When they realize
that the United States seeks no ter

in control of a country's finances,
nothing but the welfare OF that coun-
try is sought, il is almost certain
that the inclination will be for our
neighbors to look to MS more and

When they see that prosperity fol-

white and long hair, and the eternal
wonderful Jesuit's smile. They ad-
vanced, these three, amidst those tre-
mendous shouts and enthusiastically
two royal personages leading the mas
ter, one holding each hand. They ap-
preached the gilded armchairs imme-
diately in front Of me, and the Prince
and Princess indicated to the master
that he was to sit between them at
the table covered with flowers. He
made little pantomimes or modesty, he
drew his hands through their grasp, he
walked quickly away from the arm
chairs, and because I was just behind
