the bill.
From talks had with members Of
the committee, the chances are that
some of the New Mexico-Arizona
slO,0O0.O00 can be used to pay Of
the bonded debt of both territories.
and the railroad bonded debt Of New
Mexico's counties, leaving the bal
ance of the cash, with the vast guam.
tity Of public land, for the use Of COM
mon schools and institutions. Things
look right favorable now. at least in
the house.
II was expected that the majority
and minority members Of the full
comittee would make statements Of
the positions Of the two parties on
the subject Of statehood legislation,
and the kind OF measures they would
prefer, but there were no full expires.
sions on this point. Mr.. Hamilton
was asked by Mr.. Lloyd IL The ma.
iority did not intend to proceed with
the framing of the committee meas.
ure and then report to the democrats
what they had done. Mr.. Hamilton
frankly admitted that was the pro
gram. The republicans were to be
held responsible for whatever state
hood legislation there was. and, hay.
ing a majority Of the committee and
Of the house. II was but natural that
the republicans should frame the
bill.

That we pledge our faith and allie
glance to the principles, measures and
men under whose application. enforce
ment and guidance this government
has forged to the ranking place of all
nations.
We commend the fearless, aggres-
sive and honest administration OF Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt and unani-
mously declare for his denomination
and election.
We endorse the administration Of
Governor NJ A. Otero, and commend
him for the energy, and zeal which has
characterized his executive tenure,
and congratulate him upon the great
progress made all over the territory
under his administration.
We congratulate and commend Dele
gate B. s. Rodey for the faithful work
he has done for New Mexico In Con.
gress, and for the force and ability
with which he has championed the Ia.
terests of all the people.
We deplore the death OF Senator
Mark Hanna. Easily one of the fore
most men Of the country. and power
in the circles Of republicanism, his
loss will be long felt.
We ask that the bill creating a
sixth judicial district for New Mexico
and granting an additional Judge there
for, which has passed the lower house
Of congress, be speedily passed In the
senate. Public, business and interests
demand it, and we, therefore. urge
early action.
We unequivocally favor and urge the
admission Of New Mexico to statehood
but such admission must be with
boundary lines unchanged. Joindel
with Arizona is neither practicable moi
desirable. All effort should be con
centrated on securing separate state
hood, and such admission should bt
with the name Of New Mexico un
changed.
