WASHINGTON was invaded recently

gress to take favorable action on
statehood for these territories.
1t had been supposed this action
could be taken by the president and
statehood accomplished by proclama-
ton, in case congress should adjourn
without acting. But the statehood
boomers found that Attorney General
Wickersham held differently. He says
the enabling act contains an alterna-
tive clause making approval by joint
resolution necessary.
To the constitution submitted by
New Mexico the principal objection Of
fered came from those who wanted a
statewide prohibition article incorpo-
rated The objection raised against the
Arizona constitution has been that It
contains a sweeping recall provision
applying to the judiciary as every 9th
