Washington, D. c., Aug, 9.-The New
Mexico delegation will call on the
president this afternoon and enter a
plea for statehood, urging him that
If he cannot sign it to at least let It
become a law by Limitation, but all
feel that there is small chance of es-
Gaping the veto.
However, there is yet hope for state
hood if congress does not adjourn I'M
mediately, because as coon as the veto
gets to congress. the Objectionable fea-
turei will be eliminated and the bill
will again be sent back for approval
The resolution came from the senate
this morning to the house for concur
renee in the senate amendments. These
will be accepted, as they are OF
minor nature. The speaker will then
sign the bill and it will go the sem
ate for the signature of the vice pres1-
dent This will probably occur tomor-
row, because the senate is not In ses-
sion today owing to Frye's death.
To Reach Taft Friday.
1t will then go to the president,
probably reaching him Friday morn
ing. If the veto is announced immedi-
ately, a resolution amended so as to

meet his approval should be back to
him in week The resolution passed
both houses by far more than the two
thirds majority necessary to pass IL
over his veto. so it would seem that
the veto would be of no avail, but 1t
must be remembered that II stand pas
Republicans voted for the Flood reso-
luton after the Nelson amendment
was defeated. In case an attempt were
made to pass the bill over the veto, it
is considered too much to hope foh
that these u would still vote for state
hood in opposition TO the instructions
of their party leader, so no attempt
will be made TO pass the bin over the
veto.
Plan to Embarrass Taft.
The passage of the Flood resolution
without striking out the recall was
part of the same program to embarrass
the president by the Democrats and in
surgents, by practically daring him to
veto measures, they believed were
called for by the people such as the free
list and wool bills. They evidently be-
lieye Taft will lose in the opinion of
the voters if he yetoes these measures.
However, the general impression
prevails here that statehood will be
achieved in the next two weeks be-
cause the sentiment is practically

ations asked by governor Colquitt to
prosecute violations of the election
law From present indications, there

Lightfoot Wants Liberty.
The senate finance committee is hav-
ing considerable trouble in getting this
governor and the attorney general to-
gether over the appropriation asked
for by the attorney general The at
torney general, while he itemizes each
account for which he wants an appro~
priation, asks for lump sum of about
S45, 900. The appropriation asked is so
arranged that the governor cannot veto
one item without disappearing the entire
appropriation. He does not ask for any
increase in the number Of assistants,
but he wants to have free. rein as to
how he shall disbuEse the appropr
alton made by the Legislature
The Mexican Vote.
An inclination to probe the vote
of the border counties in the recent
prohibition election is strongly upper
most with the Legislators, as they have
been led to believe that. many frauds
were committed on the border by Mexi-
can voters. The state committee OF
pros in it's recent statement, declared
that the Mexican vote in the main Is
the worst debauched in the state, that
the aequal representation law reduced
the tfraudulentsv voting of many Next
cans, but was unable to wholly prevent
it. especially where the pros were not
represented. That a goodly number Of
foreigners were permitted to vote. al
though they had not declared their
intention to become citizens. That
there were frauds in some rural pre-
cincts where exemption certificates are
not required.
The committee says that while many
negro preachers and teachers, backed
by a considerable number of. the best
element of their race, who usually
paid their own poll taxes, worked
faithfully for prohibition. they did so
in the face of intimidation and pro-
tests from their own color.
1t saws that judicial Investigations
Just before the election, notably at
Austin, were hampered in every way
by the liquor traffic It further re-
fers to the fact that it issued warn
ings against the use of poll tax re-
ceipts fraudulent1y issued and Illegal
" voted, and says such warnings were
characterized as efforts at intimida-
| ton.
The exact language in reference to
| the Mexican vote follows:
1--WE have inquired into, as far as we
! could, the Mexican vote which Is
known to be, in the main, the worst
] debauched and most corrupt1y con-
| trolled vote of any magnitude in the
state, and while the equal representa-
/ ton law and the courage and fidelity
of prohibition representatives in
| o-rea+ nuuher Of voting boxes reduced
| TO considerable extent the fraudulent
| voting of many Mexicans, still the law
and other efforts could not reach a
/ very large number of those voting, es-
pecially where the pros were not rep
resented and which conditions found
! their worst expression in the returns

unanimous in favor of admission. but
the unamended Flood resolution and
the resulting veto are all considered
part OF the game of political advan-
tage.
Had the delegation from territories
had their way, the amendment would
have been introduced in the senate
eliminating the recall from the Flood
resolution, so as to make 1t certain of
approval but they could not get the
senators to view it In the same light.
All of them were willing to give the
territories statehood, but they must
play their little game first.
If the veto comes quickly, there Is
every reason to believe that congress
will get a move on and fix up reso-
luton so the president will be salts
fled.
A number of New Mexicans have an.
nounced their intention of staying here
until the question is settled either by
getting statehood or until congress adj
journs.
Amendment Presented.

Joint resolution known as the Flood
