WASHINGTON, May ia new
orator appeared in the ranks of the
Republican minority in Congress to-
day. The opening speech on the
minority on the Arizona-New Mexico
statehood resolution, distinction &C.
corded to Representative Frank B.
Willis, freshman from Ohio, turned
out to be two hours running fire
repartee and fight with the Demo
cratic leaders.
Mr.. Willis supported the New Mex
leo constitution as President Taft has
approved it.
Mr.. Hamilton of Michigan, former
chairman of the territories commit
tee, also urged the immediate ap.
proval Of the New Mexican consti.
tuition. The Republican speakers
condemned the recall of judges in the
Arizona constitution and approved
the plan to force Arizona to vote
again on that feature; but they de-
clared no change should be made in
the New Mexican constitution.
Lively Debate.
The statehood resolution will be
before the House until Tuesday, on
which day debate on the measure will
be closed.
Washington, Lincoln, jefferson,
Madison and Roosevelt would have
been victims of the recall had it been
included in the constitution when
they were in the presidential chair,
said Representative Kahn of Califor-
mia, speaking against the initiative,
referendum and recall in the Arizona
constitution.
when Washington sent the Jay
treaty to the Senate to be ratified"
said Mr.. Kahn, there was such an
of disapproval on all sides
that "a hours after the necessary re.
call petitions would have been
signed by thousands of electors in ex-
cess of the required percentage.
Lincoln would have been put to
the task of defending his title as
chief executive of the republic, il,
during the dark days of 1862, the re-
call had been one of the cardinal prin-
ciples of the federal constitution.

signatures could have been procured
