Debate on Dakota statehood and division in Ex-Googlean view
Ex congressman Lord discusses whether the Dakota territory should be divided for admission as two states or admitted as a whole. He argues the decision rests on political factors and the people’s wishes, noting size comparisons with other states and the potential impact on Senate balance. He views division as plausible if both parts are admitted together, otherwise admi ssion of the territory as one state remains likely. The Inter-Ocean Annual is featured, with remarks on its contents and distribution for readers.
