burst of applause. He reviewed
at length the several attempts
which New Mexicos people have so ear

show that in each instance the Demo-
cratic party had brought its every influ-
ence to bear toward the defeat of this
strike for American independence in New
Mexico. He said the key note of the pend
ing campaign is the admission of New
Mexico as state, and that there is no
question as to the result; there can be no
such thing as fail where such vital inter
ests are at stake.
