Statehood bill battles loom in Washington Senate
In Washington on January 5 Senator Beveridge says the statehood measure is doomed, while Quay campaigns suggest the plan will fail. The Republican steering committee lists speakers to delay the session as factions split on the omnibus bill, with Fairbanks and Foraker taking active roles and western votes sought to block Roosevelt’s path. Local notes mention real estate conveyances and town business in Binger and Anadarko.
