Mr.. Rodey is enthusiastic as to the
prospects of statehood for New Mexico.
1T has been long fight" he said, "for
ffty.fye years we haye been pleading
for statehood. We have seen other ter
ritories with half our claims admitted
into the siaterhood of States and they
have prospered as we will. Every false
statement which has been made in re-
gard to my territory, which has come
to my notice, have corrected. and l
have written hundreds of letters to the
press. Think of it; New Mexico fur
nished more soldiers to the Union army
than any other State two'thirds of the
Presidents regiment came from New
Mexico. All our generous revenues
have gone into the Federal treasury
and without such assurances as have
been given to Porto Rico that an equal
amount would be expended within our
borders. But victory Is now in sight
and a territory which is equal In area
to New York, New Jersey and all Of
New England, which built 300 miles of
railroad last year. will soon become one
of the fai:est and most prosperous
States in the Union.
