President Roosevelt tells Senator Beveridge that he is still figuring out the plans for Monday, December 19, and has asked Benjamin F. Barnes to speak with Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt on the subject. The president encloses a letter and papers from Kansas Representative Charles Curtis about the prohibition of liquor to Native Americans in Indian Territory after it becomes a state. Roosevelt asks Senator Beveridge if this could be incorporated into the statehood bill.
