President Roosevelt reminds Senator Beveridge that when they spoke, he urged him to admit both New Mexico and Arizona as states at the same time. However, he acquiesced to Beveridge’s decisions and told Senator Frank P. Flint to do the same. As far as he knows, Flint did so. Now Roosevelt does not think any good will come from further delay. Keeping the territories out for even a short time will only make them irritated at the Republican Party.
