test.

Washington, June 21.—Dele-
gate Rodey of New Mexico has ap
proached his colleagues from the
Territories, Messrs. Flynn of Ok-
lahoma and Smith of Arizona, and
urged them to join with him in re-
signing from Congress in case the
bill fails. Mr. Rodey represented
to his colleagues that the failure of
the Senate to pass this bill would
be a clear violation of the plank of
the Republican platform indorsing
statehood for these Territories.
Delegate Smilh, who is a democrat,
contended that he had nothing to
do with the sins of omission of the
Republican party, much as he re-
gretted them, but that his party
had voted for the bill unanimously
in the House and is prepared to do
so in the Senate, and consequently
he saw nothing to be gained by re-
signing. Mr. Flynn also objected
to leaving Congress at this session
in the way proposed.
The promise of tlie Senate Com-
mittee on Territories that tfie bill
shall be taken up at the short ses-
sion is regarded as merely a meth-
od postponing action until action is
impossible. Mr. Rodey said with
much vehemence that the present
is the forty-sixth bill offered in
twenty-one Congresses for the ad-
mission of Ne.v Mexico to the
Lnion. The bills passed one
