JOINT STATEHOOD TALK AT LAS VEGAS.
Two statehood meetings were arranged
for in Las Vegas on Monday night, one
in English at the opera house, in the new
town, to he addressed by Gov. Prince,
and one in Spanish, at the court house,
in the old town, to be addressed by Major
Sena. There was large gathering OF
Democratic leaders in town coquetting
with the White Cap convention, and
they asked to have the meeting at the
ntv,t
The statehood committee agreed to this
with pleasure, and Mr.. Childers was Sc
Iected to represent the anti-state men.
| The discussion lasted two hours, and the
utter weakness of the opposition to state
hood and progress was shown by the fact
that Mr.. Childers could find no argument
to present but those which have been re-
iuted time after time before. OF course,
Gov. Prince, with facts and figures at
command, found no difficulty in setting
them at rest.
AT the court house meeting, the anti
state people tried to prevent Major Sens
from having hearing, by filling the
room with members of the Peoples
convention, and electing Felix Martinez
chairman. Then Mr. Ferguson was in
troduced and spoke till nearly 10 O'Clock
and after that Sena was allowed but fiji.
teen minutes for reply. But in that
short time he turned the tables so COM
pletely that FERGUSON no doubt wished
he had never left Albuquerque. The
gallant major is to be heard at large to-
morrow evening after the Republican
convention.
DOING GOOD WORK.
Mr.. II. E. Twitchell addressed an en-
thusiastic statehood meeting at Gloreta
last night. There were present about
fifty voters, every one of whom is in favor
of the constitution and statehood. Messrs
Atanacio Romero and Facundo Pine also
addressed the meeting and scored the i'll
advised opponents of the constitution in
a way that will bring only favorable re-
suits on the day of election. The people
of Glorieta precinct are intelligent and
alive to their best interests.
STATEHOOD TIPS.
Got 'em on the dead run.
Gaining friends every hour-the state
hood movement.
The Republicans of Santa Fe county
propose to let the Office seek the man.
Every real estate owner in Santa Fe
who votes against statehood, votes against
adding so per cent value to his property.
Bear this in mind.
The Santa Fe county candidates on the
Democratic ticket are fairly coddling the
constitution. Statehood has too many
friends here among the progressive ele-
ment for them to openly oppose it.
An enthusiastic meeting was held at
Pena Blanca on Saturday evening last on
statehood. All the prominent men in
the neighborhood were present. Hon.
Amado G. de Baca addressed the crowd.
In Joint debate on the statehood Ques-
ton at Las Vegas night before last Major
Sena completely demolished the points
set forth against the constitution by H.
B. Ferguson, the Albuquerque attorney
and would-be Democratic boss.
Judge Trimble and Judge Axtell speak
at Las Cruces on tomorrow night.
Thence they 60 the following day to Dem
ing and after speaking of statehood there
they will 20 north into Grant county,
Judge Trimble speaking at Silver City and
Judge Axtell at Hudson's hot springs.
1t is very probable, in fact, more than
probable, that the tax money, If now paid
in, would 60 .i,e way of all flesh. That is
Judging from past experiences. "By
their deeds, We shall know Them" Hold
on to your taxes, fellow-citizens, till q
change for the better is brought about.
Gov. Prince addressed the miners
meeting at Cerrillos last night. 1t was a
joint discussion of the statehood question,
or rather would have been if Ferguson,
of Albuquerque, had not grown too
tired" Ferguson led off in the debate
and the governor followed, breaking down
his every argument and making such q
perceptible impression upon the miners
present that Ferguson failed to under
take reply. 1t was decided victory for
the statehood movement.

ton has placed the following ticket in
the field: For senator, Narciso Valdez !;
