Will Put Democrats on Record.
Washington, July 26.-Statehood
is going to come at the present ses-
sion of Congress-unless somebody
stubs a toe on a representation, and
many toes have been stumped in the
past on statehood forecasts. 1t has
been agreed to vote upon it at the
close of the present session early in
August, and the tip is handed out that
the Senate report to accept the New
Mexico constitution as 1t is and take
in Arizona without the recall para
graph. will be the measure that will
become law. President Taft will
sign this, and then the two new states
can be on their way in a few months.
AS politicians here look at it, New
Mexico is going to be Republican with
out any trouble and will send w. H.
Andrews and w. J. Mills, present gov.
ernor, as the first two senators.
Arizona Senatorships Us.
Arizona, the politicians are not so
certain about, but many are inclined
to believe that at any rate there will
be compromise and that Ralph Cam
eron, present delegate to Congress will
come up as one of the senators, and
that Eugene Brady O'Neill, of Pres
cott-brother Of 1.-The late famous
"Buckey"-or Colonel Pickett, of
Tombstone, will be the other.
In case the territory goes Republi-
can, it is believed here that delegate
Cameron and Hoval A. Smith will be
the first two senators. Mr.. Smith,
late Republican chairman, is modest
and does not care for politics-shown
by his resignation of the territorial
chairmanship-and then, too, he is a
man of large business interests, but
it is believed that he could be persu-
AIDED to accept senatorial toga, and
he would be one of the Youngest men
in the Senate, If he did. He has been
here for some time, but not on politi-
cal affairs in the territory. It is known
that Mr.. Taft is anxious to sign a
statehood bill if it is one that he be-
lieves Is right and just, and he will be
glad to sign the Arizona measure as
soon as the recall feature is eliminat-
ed. The Senate majority report is the
same as the house minority report and
is the one that will be passed by the
Senate and which the House will have
to accept or 60 on records as against
statehood, which would be violation
