Republicans Stand Pat on Statehood Bill After Conference
In a two and a half hour caucus the House Republicans voted 126 to 35 to back the statehood bill as it passed the House and seek a Senate conference. Mondell’s insurgent resolution to drop Arizona and New Mexico failed 128 to 43. Speaker Cannon and Hamilton pleaded for the bill, arguing it had GOP support and backing from the President. The Speaker asserted caucus binding force, saying party action binds all members and that admitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory now would yield four new Senate seats from the two territories rather than two.
