In 1890 there were thirteen states in the
union with an organized country of 1926 ,065
square miles Of territory During the
second decade Kentucky, Vermont and
Tennessee were, respectively, admittedin
1901 1892 and 1896. In 1902 Ohio came
in from 1910 to 1920 six stars were added
to the flag, dated thus: Louisiana 1912,
Indiana 1916, Mississippi 1877, Illinois
1918, Alabama 1919, Maine 1920 In the
year 1881 Missouri came in; Arkansas
was admitted in 1886 and Michigan in
1897, In 1850 the flag numbered thirty
one stars, the five additions being Florida
1915, Iowa 1915, Texas 1916, Wisconsin
lS47, and California 1850. In 1860 there
were two more, Minnesota 1858, and
Oregon 1859. In 1870 four more states
had been admitted, namely, Kansas 1861,
West Virginia 1862, Nevada 1864 and
Nebraska 1867.
From 1870 to 1880 but one state was
admitted, namely Colorado in 1875.
During 1889 the states Of Washington
Montana and North and South Dakota
will be admitted, making forty-two states,
embracing territory OF 2,405, 070 square
miles. Within the next four years, New
Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho and Arizona
more than likely will be admitted. Verify
this is a great and glorious country.

TWENTY days before the election OF dele
gates to the constitutional convention
takes place the several boards Of county
commissioners are required by law to
issue the necessary proclamations, des-
ignate the necessary polling places (not
to exceed one to each precinct) and APP
point the necessary judges and clerks OF
election. The law makes this duty man
datory upon the county commissioners OF
the several counties. The latter should
obey the statute, and wherever there is
an inclination amongst these officials to
ignore the plain letter of the law and their
sworn duty the courts should be appealed
to. Time is short and something must be
done. The good people of this territory
are greatly interested in the matter, and
the manifesto OF the Democratic bosses
as against the admission OF New Mexico

OF the law. The several prosecuting otfi'

CONFIDENTIAL,

All members OF the Holy Catholic
church, and especially all those OF our
people OF Mexican blood, to whom this
sign may come are invited to read it care
fully and to weigh its contents.
We ask YOU to respect all that is con
tanned in this paper as thing stated III
strict confidence. You are summoned IN
this because we believe You to bca faithful
son OF the church and know youto beaman
OF considerable influence. a convention
to make constitution for the rev state
of New Mexico will be held i'll the town
OF Santa Fe on the 3dOf next September.
1t is the pronounced intention OF the Cne-
mics of our religion to send delegates to
said convention who will so make the
organic law lor the purpose to compel
YOU to deny your children all kinds OF
education except that of the world. The
| plan is to provide in that constitution that
YOU may be compelled to pay taxes Tor
| the support OF public schools, notWitll-
/ standing that you can not, from
conscientious scruples, permit your
children to be educated in such
places. No faithful son of the church
and no man ui the Mexican people WHO'S
in accord with what is due to himself and
the traditions of his fathers will submit
to this. Tie contest in the last leglsa-
ture proves how great the danger is that
this execrabe and wicked education
should be forced upon us. The escape
then was but very harrow escape. we
now have it in our power to avoid this
calamity by taking hold OF the business in
good time and working well and hard for
what is right.
The election for delegates is ordered for
the 5th day of August We have to or
ganize and work together without rest tC
the end in view that our own people and
the men of our own faith should rule in
that convention. We invite you to join
with other friends who are in sympathy
with our feelings. Teach then in con
fidpnce one to another this invocation
"Work in silence" Choose and nOmi
nate faithful men for delegates-mel
Nhom We can depend upon and who shaI
agree in secret to defend our church' Tor
ever against the sacrilegeous and arrogan
spirit now threatening us. 1t Is wei
to DO it at once, but keep CAREFUL,
the secret of your intentions. Do not al
low personal ambition or preferences t
bring disroru between you. Always keel
in view the design to defend our religion
and our people from the usurpations o
men who have the clear intention to dom
iueer and subjugate us.
What they call progress is the progress!
OF perdltion. Their bomhastic energy il
their groundwork to deprive us OF on
homes and our possessions.
