tuition on the strength OF his being your
superior. lie treats you as a Mexican,
he can make you believe anything, even
a falsehOod, vote for the constitution
WILL GIVE TIE LIBEL
to all tho unjust and gratuitous attacks
that have been heaPed upon YOU. BY
your vote you will prove to the world
whether you are fit to govern yourself
Opponents to statehood and this. consttu-
ton say it was conceived in sin would it
have been conceived in grace had they
framed it? Their saying that the state
will increase taxation is mere bosh, and
they should tell that to the marines, not
to intelligent men.
The committee lately appointed by
congress to visit our territory is the most
gratuitous insult ever offered to free
people. They will have to summons the
author of "El Gringo' and others of his
kidney to testify against us. Some of the
opponents of statehood say there are not
white folks enough in New Mexico for
self government. Why did not congress
send a similar committee to the newly adj
mitted states-because there were no
Mexcans there, Ell? If you care to sit
and allow this insult it is for you to say
so by voting against the constitution on
October +. Whoever advises you against
the constitution is your enemy, traitor
to himself and to his country, the enemy
OF your home and of your best interests"

held at the Republican hall, and called

precinct are all for statehood.
