STATEHOOD GATHERINGS,


Co.. Chavez and Judge Morrison spoke
on the question OF statehood at Embudo
on Friday evening. There were some
fifty voters at the meeting, which was
held at the placita OF Pablo Valdez, and
Lucas Martin acted as chairman during
the evening At another house near 10y
Delegate Joseph and J. II. Crist were
also holding an anti-state meeting, In
Guiding the two speakers there were, by
actual count, Just ten men present, and
two of these were Republicans. While
Col. Chavez was addressing the friends
of statehood committee of three from
the Joseph-Crst meeting came into the
statehood camp and proposed a Joint
meeting and Joint debate. This was
cheerlully accepted, and a commit
tee circumference named to arrange details.
The anti-statehooders, however, as usual
tried to hog it.
They proposed that the statehood men
come into their meeting where only ten
were assembed) and that speeches be
made as follows; Crist to open with Il
half hours speech, Chavez and Morrison
to follow, speaking half an hour each,
and Joseph to have full hour to close
the debate. This was manliestly unfair,
placing the statehood advocates between
two fires, as it were. The Shareholders
made a counter proposition offering to
allow each speaker half an hour, Crst to
speak first, Chavez to follow, then Joseph,
and Morrison to close. This the anti
statehood crowd would not listen to, so
the two meetings proceeded, Crlst and
Joseph having to content themselves
with only ten listeners, After the larger
crowd had been addressed by Messrs.
| Chavez and Morrison, Republican league
club of fifty members was organized with
Margarito Borrego as president and }. d.
| Montova secretary

Some of the Democratic county nomi-
nees appear to be growing very kindly
toward the constitution. Too many Dem
ocrats here are going to vote for it, and
the candidates for office who expect to
ride into popularity by fighting it will
find a whole lot OF votes against them
when election day comes on.
