sions among the Santa Fe county Demor-
racy had resulted in the determination TO
withdraw Thos. p. Gable from the legls
latiye ticket. Inquiry, however reveals
the fact that Mr. Gable has no intention
of Withdrawing. He says hereceiyed the

county to speak upon political matters.
David L. Miller, of Cerrillos, will no
doubt be the Republican nominee for
county commissioner, and he will run
noble race. -Cerrillos Rustler,
Acts of lawlessness by officials or White
Caps should be carefully noted and
brought before the proper authorizes at
the proper time. This thing of intimida-
ton must stop.
Col. j. Frank Chayes and Judge A. l..
Morrison are i'll Taos county and will at

dress the people on the benefits and ne
cessity OF statehood for New Mexico,
1t is understood that the county clerk,
| Mr.. MarceIino Garcia, IS to run the as
SCISSORS office, should Mr.. Abe Gold be

Mr.. Garcia on the Democratic ticket for
assessor then?
Hold on to your taxes; wait till after

Judge Axtel returned from Springer
last night. He and Judge Trimble spoke
to excellent audiences at Las Vegas and
Springer on the statehood question, and
the latter went on to Ration where he

much encouraged at the outlook for the
adoption of the constitution in San Miguel
and Colfax counties.
What's the matter with putting Frank
Delgado on the ticket for sheriff if he is
to run the sherih's office and if the funds
collected are to be used to make good
amounts now short and not paid over to
the territorial and county treasurers?
What have the people, the tax payers and

sessment of 5000 per candidate was made;
that the candidates for the more import
ant places will be called upon for more
contributions, and that these latter were
to spend all the money necessary to elect
them. They probably will, if the public
funds hold out.
Statehood observations by the Cerrillos
Ruster: A man in Cerrilos owns a lot in
Albuquerque which he bought nearly
eight years ago, and which has cost him
nearly 81 900, The highest offer he can
get for it to-day is 800. This is progress
under q territorial government.
II. B. Ferguson and Neil B. Field,
two Albuquerque lawyers, spoke
against statehood at Santa Fe
Wednesday night. And they
are from Albuquerque, which boasts of
being a progressive town, 4. In
any place but New Mexico, there would
be scarcely a dissenting voice against
statehood. If Oklahoma could vote Tor
statehood tomorrow, she would do it by
reclamation. Political reasons, even if
they were we'll founded, should not intiu-
ence a single vote against statehood.
