SENATE ADMITS
PAIR OF STATES
BILL GRANTING STATEHOOD TO
NEW MEXICO AND ARl-
IONA PASSES.
VOTE WAS 53 TO 18
NELSON AMENDMENT OPPOSING
JUDICIARY RECALL
WAS LOST.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-By a vote of 50 to IS
the bill granting statehood to New
Mexico and Arizona was passed by the
Senate after rejection of the Nelson
amendment which proposed striking
out of the Arizona constitution its jul
dietary recall provision. The bill, as
passed by the Senate, differs only
slightly from the House measure, and
it is said may be unsatisfactory to
President Taft.
He has contended all along that he
would be glad to sign the statehood
bill if the Nelson amendment pre-
vailed, but that it was a grave ques-
ton whether he would be willing to
ed, as it was by 43 to 26. The indica-
tions are that the bill will become a
law without his signature.
The Senate amended the House bill
with two minor changes regarding the
manner of voting in New Mexico on
proposed amendments to its constitu'
ton These undoubtedly will be agreed
to by the House and the bill will be
expedited to the White House. These
amendments were reported by the
Senate committee on territories and
agreed to without debate.
Practically all the debate on the
bill centered around the Nelson
amendment. Even some senators, who
declared their opposition to the recall
of judges, voted against the amend
ment on the ground that if the peo-
pie of Arizona desired recall as part
of their system of government it was
for them and not for Congress to say
whether they should have it.
The bill as passed compels Arzo-
no as a condition precedent to entry
into the Union, to submit the recall
proposition to the voters for final de-
cision as to whether it shall remain in
their constitution. New Mexico must
vote on a proposition embodied in the
bill which would make the constitu-
tion of the state easier of amendment.
The test vote came on the Nelson
amendment, which was lost.
After this had been defeated it was
thought the bill would be adopted
without division, but Senator Bailey
called for the ayes and nays.
Senator Bradley of Kentucky, and
O'Gorman of New York voted for the
Nelson amendment.
The same two members, with Sen
ator Bailey, voted against the final
passage of the measure, as did two
progressive Republicans, Senator Bris
tow of Kansas and Kenyon of Iowa.
The others who voted against the ad-
mission of the territories were Sena'
tors Brandegee of Connecticut, Burn
ham of New Hampshire, Crane of
Massachusetts, Curtis of Kansas, Dill
lingham of Vermont. Hepburn of Ida
no, Lippitt and Wellmore of Rhode
Island, Nelson of Minnesota, Oliver

New York and Smoot of Utah.

promptly corrected lest the strain up

both sides are OF equal size the edges
