In a land which we all love and which we all alike hope and believe will endure. mere party advantage is but temporary and fleeting. but the fruition of the hopes of the people of this Territory will bring lasting and enduring blessings not only to themselves. but to the people of this entire Republic. Mr. Chairman. I am just as desirous of seeing New Mexico admitted into the Union as I am of seeing Arizona admitted. These two Territories have been retarded in their growth and development by reason of not having been granted the right of statehood. It has been difficult to get capital with which to develop their marvelous resources. Development has been stopped. Industrial immigration has been halted. Statehood will remove these disadvantages and these barriers to their progress. They have done everything that a people could do unaided and alone with the governments which they have had.
