Now that the bill providing for the
admission OF New Mexico as a state has
been introduced In congress, the friends
Of the territory should lose no OppOrtun-
ity to help II along. There are many
residents OF the territory who have
friends in the east with influence In CON
gressional circles and they can do much
toward assisting statehood by using that
influence. The growth and prosperity
and development OF New Mexico will be
greatly advanced by securing admission
as a state, and certainly the benefits 10
be derived are worth the little effort and
expense that will be required 10 secure
the passage OF the bill which has here
been outlined. The men opposed 10
statehood are using everything that can
be thought OF TO defeat any change In
the territorial government. and TO Offset
those efforts II il necessary for an united
effort on the part OF those who desire TO
see the territory occupy the position
among the states 10 which she Is entitled,
TO overcome the opposition.
