 Liberal quotation is made from the report of the majority oA the statehood bill. One of the parts quoted is that referring to the statement made Dy 8 witness that some white people in tne territories are like the riffrIff who fOi- low the construction of railroads
 Commenting on this statement the minority report says. "The 'rinraff who follow railroads have been sturdy Irishmen whose picks and shovels and spade and labor have built the nun dreds of thousands of miles of --meri- can railroad Why that 'riffram- slouL: net be as good citizens in New Mexico as they arc in every other state and territory the report does not advise the sen1te. Prcsuming that the witness upon whose testimony this reference to riffran has been made was greatly mis- informed, we are forced to conclUde that there has been a mistake made somewhere between the witness and the committee, since the testimony has all the earmarks of q purpose to con- yict of unpreparedness on the part Of Arizona and New Mexico rather than to enlighten the senate as to tne.r re- publican form Of government"
