Little Didi Rajamaitri
Is Admired.
The center of attraction during
the first hour of the party was little
Didi Rajamaitri, who stood with her
mother and made curtsies as the
guests passed down the line. The
little daughter of the Minister and
Nine. Rajamaitri, however. divided
her interest in the party with doll
almost as large as herself. She told
guests that the dolls name was
Baby" and that Mrs. William E.
Borah had brought the doll to her
that very day. Little Didi looked
like a doll herself in dainty white
organza dotted in blue. blue ribbons
around her waist and her very dark
hair tied back with ribbon.
The buffet was lavish. There were
whole turkeys, delicious salads of
all varieties, and ever so many other
dainties to enjoy along with bev-
erages of all sorts served during the
afternoon. 1t was long past the
closing hour that guests fingered
to further enjoy the charming hos
pitality always found at the lega-
ton of Thai.

gentine Ambassador, was among
those to arrive early at the party

JUST about fifty years ago to a
day as the 26th Washington
state legislature is assembling, pc
titions were being signed by the
citizens of Washington territory
asking congress for admission to
the union of states. The petitions
had been prepared and the state
hood campaign organized at con-
vention held at Ellensburg, Jan. 3,
1889.
The matter of Washington state
hood had been before congress pre-
viously but there were various
reasons why it had not gone
through. In one instance many
residents of the territory were OPP
posed. They feared that, as in the
states from which they had come,
statehood would mean more COM
plicated government. political in
Movements and higher taxes. They
were doing very well on the farms
or in business, so why bother about
statehood.
Another reason for the delay
was political. The dominant
party was not quite sure how
Washington would vote II adj
mitted to statehood. Rather
! than take IA chance. the state
hood issue was sidetracked.
As had been the case in making
that portion of Oregon north OF
the Columbia river Washington
territory, much of the steam which
kept the statehood movement GO
ing was generated in Tacoma and
Pierce county. AS a result OF the
continued emphasis on statehood
the Ellensburg convention, COM
posed of delegates from the L.
territorial council districts, was
called.
Watson {. Squire. of Seattle,
whose money and superior po-
ntical strategy euchered Pierce
county out Of the first United
States senator. WAS elected
chairman of the convention.
Henry Drum, prominent bank
er and mayor Of Tacoma, WAS
named vice president and .
sort Of executive secretary.
Because of much of the worl
done in Tacoma and Pierce county
very little time was wasted in pre-
liminaries and the work was dons
in a few hours.
In the statement which the con
vention prepared to accompany th'
petition to congress, three essen
tial qualifications were empha
sized. First, population; second
character of citizenship. and third
industries and natural resources.
Because there had been no fed
eral census since 1880. population
was necessarily matter of cstl
mate. The figure of 100000 wa
arrived at this way:
In the fall of 1850. when tn
federal census gave the territor
i, a population of 66,972. there ha
, been sharply contested electio

institutions, civil. political or
religious, not In harmony with
the republican form of govern
ment. The territory was peo-
pied, In short, by ideal citizens.
IL was the home of families,
not adventures; of home
builders, not transients.
On resources, the convention had
this to say:
Washington territory has with
in her borders an ineXhaustible
supply of lime, fish. timber, gyp-
sum, marble, coal, lead. iron and
the precious metals. In coal and
iron she is the Pennsylvania of the
Pacific Coast. Her agricultural
and pastoral resources are I'M
equaled. No country can exceed
her in the production of cereals,
vegetables, fruits, hops and live
stock"
To the citizens of the territory
/ the convention addressed this ap-
peal:
THE admission of Washing
ton territory into the union at
this time will be but an act of
simple justice. IFS longer ex-
clusion will be n grave political
wrong. Your delegates in con-
vention assembled appeal TO
you to join i'm an earnest and
united effort to secure its adj
mission into the union by the
present congress. =. The time
has now come for action. Let
no honest endeavor be spared
to insure success"
A central committee, composed
of one member from each terri
torial council district, had charge
of the campaign. From the first
district, A. S. Bowles, of Walla
Walla, was named. second, NJ. NJ.

The committee must have
done its work well. for the

influence the passage of the
omnibus statehood bill so that
President Grover Cleveland
could sign the bill creating the
only state named Tor a presi-

gram but probably also the
fate OF the new deal In 1910
and the ability Of FDR TO
name his successor as demo-
cratic nominee.
The presidents prestige with
politicians was reduced last No
vember, when the COP made
sharp inroads in the democratic
majority in congress and captured
several state elections. Democratic
leaders are still debating whether
their losses were the result of a
series of local miFfortunes from
coast To coast or a reflection Of
national sentiment toward the
new deal.
But Institute surveys fore
cast the dimensions of the

vealed that President Roosc-

to the comparatively low point
of 54.4 just before the Novem-

The present survey. like all po-
litical surveys of the American
Institute Of Public Opinion, is
based on a scientifically selected
cross-section of voters. Every
state is represented in proportion
to the vote cast in the national
election. and within each state
Democrats, Republicans and third
party voters are represented in
correct proportions, as are urban
and rural jewellers and members
of all age and income levels.
The number of persons included
in any Institute study varies with
statistical requirements. In the
study reported today $4,000 per-
sons were included. This number
insures that any error due solely
to the size of the sample will be
less than one and one-third per
cent.
