President Roosevelt informs New Mexico Territorial Governor Curry that he has met with congressional leaders about statehood, but they are at an impasse concerning statehood for New Mexico and Arizona. Congress would like to wait until after the 1910 census and proceed from there based on the population data. Roosevelt has also written to Arizona Territorial Governor Joseph H. Kibbey, and does not see much point in addressing the matter in his upcoming message.
