President Roosevelt slightly prefers the wording of Senator Beveridge’s amendment to the one presented by the House, but does not think the difference is vital. Roosevelt recently spoke with Representative Henry Cullen Adams of Wisconsin regarding the majority report, and he accepted most of the amendments proposed on the bill. Roosevelt reiterates that he is not concerned with the way these amendments are phrased, but is concerned rather with the results obtained. He especially wants to avoid getting bogged down in arguments about minutia, as was the case of a statehood bill several years ago.
