New Mexico and the MOrmOns.
To the Editor of TIE EVENING STAR:
In yNur issue Of yesterday you quote editorially
the statements that the ''Mormons have obtained
strong grip on the politics OF New Mexico by the
quiet immigration OF saints into that territory
from Utah,- and that the project OF admitting
New Mexico to statehood Is In furtherance OF q
.S;esp scheme OF the MOrmons to capture q state y
ami thus escape congressional control. l think
I have very fair opportunities OF knowing what Is
going on IN New Mexico. and state It as my belief
that % the l6D.OOO people inhablttng New Mexico,
exclusive Of Indians OF all classes, not 1000 are
NOrmOns, and that there Is not one polygamist
Mormon In that territory. Many people con-
found New Mexico with Old Mexico, into which
there has been for several years a considerable
immigration Of Mormons from Utah. There Is not
a state or territory Of the Union whose laws re-
IaJiBg to poly gamous onenses are more vigorous
or more vigorously enforced than are those OF New
Mexico. E q. Ross.
