POLITICAL POINTERS.

SAMPLES OF THEIR METHODS.
The most senseless and outrageous
falsehoods were circulated by the anti
statehood crowd in upper Santa Fe to de-
feat the constitution. The wonder is that
50 many people could be found who ap-
peared to believe these stories. For in
stance, not few voted against the in
strument because they were informed
that should statehood carry new streets
would be cut through their properties
every 800 feet and their houses and lands
would be confiscated for public uses,
not a cent being paid for the damage
done.
In the Pojoaque valley the people were
informed that every vara of land would
be taxed "$7" if the constitution
carried. This is the unfair and
dishonest way the fight against state
hood was carried out, the ignorance
of the masses being taken advantage Of
whenever and wherever opportunity Of
tered. And yet, the men who circulated
these fasehoods and thus imposed upon
the masses pretend to be friends of the
people and ask their respect as party
leaders.
