Speaker Nestor Montoya, of the
house OF representatives. said this
morning that at the request OF several
o. the BARRIERS of Albuquerque he ha3
introduced a bill in the house, which
bill Is now pending before the com.
mittee on territorial affairs. Mr.. Mon.
toya. before taking the bill up for &C.
ton, would like full expression from
the BARRIERS union of the city and
other organizations of the territory.
This morning, Hon. Nestor Montoya,
speaker OF the lower house OF the ter.
ritorial legislature, was a pleasant
caller at The Citizen Office. He stated
That the Albright bill annexing con-
tiguous territory to Incorporated cities
and towns had been sent back to the
council from the house with slight
and 1t was his opinion
that the council would kill the bill
The people OF Albuquerque are oppos-
ed TO this bill. and Speaker Montoya
says he will use his influence toward
its defeat.
Just as soon as Hon. +. A. Hubbell
of this city, was convinced that the
PEOPLE of Albuquerque were in dead
regarding county division. he

turned delegates that Mr.. Hubbelrs
influence among house members Is
well known at the capital. and one
word from him yesterday. to the eau.
Gus meeting. would have told another
tale. The bill creating the county Of
passed unanimously yester.
Jay afternoon. was the original propo- |
sition submitted by Mr.. Hubbell at the |
second meeting OF the Board Of Trade |
and citizens held in this city a short |
time ago. II was a good proposition |
then. and surely most excellent prop
osition when embodied in the bill
which passed the legislature yester-
day. We now have county division:
thus one OF the wishes OF the merch- |
ants ami taxpayers of this city was &C. |
without the people being
called upon for subscriptions.
The legislature will adjourn finally
on the goth Of March.
This city should demand the two
commissioners who are 20 be
chosen at the special election on Ap.
ril IA.
The local option bill was defeated by |
the territorial council last Saturday. |
The chances are that the Sunday law |
will hereafter be vigorously enforced |
In New Mexico
The Citizen does not believe in max |
ing martyrs by constantly abusing |
certain politicians. That Is the bust. |
ness being INDUCED In these days by |
the great political hopper-the Jour
The Citizen has upon all occasions |
stood squarely for the best interests
Of Albuquerque, and will continue to
do so In the future.
The Citizen has never been CONTROL. |
ed by bosses. II has always been a re- |
publican paper and will SO remain I'M
der its present ownership. Upon few |
occasions certain republican leaders |
have tried to dictate the policy of this |
paper and failed.
The statehood bill will be one OF the |
first measures TO be consulted by the |
senate next December and II viii be |
passed. The republicans have agreed |
TO pass the bill as party measure. |
New Mexico and Arizona will be |
into one state.
Only few years ago the Journal. |
Democrat Popped from democratic to
a republican paper. The ownership |
has not changed at any time. The |
sheet now says II intends to be indie
pendent, which Is an admission that II |
has been under the control OF some |
political boGs. That paper has never |
the political sentiment Of
this city and county on any occasion,
and whether II supports or opposes a
candidate will be a matter OF very lit
