STATEHOOD MEETING.
Plans Made for Work in All countie.
of the Territory.

| of the Territory.
Albuquerque Journal, Sept 23
Two hundred people gathered in
the rooms of the Commercial Club
yesterday morning to hear Governor
Llewellyn Powers of Maine give his
reasons for the advocacy of joint
statehood. At half past nine a band
played in front of the Alvarado hotel,
where a crowd gathered. and soon
afterward the speakers of the morn
ing with large number of members
OF the Joint Statehood League, march
ed to the Commercial Club, where
the meeting was called to order by
Judge A. A. Freeman, chairman of
the meeting. Judge Freeman made a
few brief Introductory remarks He
scored the present Territorial ad-
ministration as the enemies not on
ly of joint statehood, but of any kind
of statehood. holding up it's opposition
as inspired merely by the desire for
continued off1ce-holding. He then in
/
spoke at length. The congressman
from Maine said that he knew moth
ing of local politics, Or of the oppo-
sition to statehood in New Mexico
or it's causes, but he believed in the
admission of New Mexico and Arizo-
of the problem. He proceeded with a
careful explanation of the advantages
to both territories of the union. and
expressed his belief that even were
separate statehood possible, the un-
ion of the two territories would make
stronger state. He gave it. as his
opinion that joint statehood alone
could be had from this congress.
w. B. Childers, president OF the
Joint Statehood League followed with
brief address. He followed in the
line of Judge Freeman's remarks,
showing his reasons for the belief
that the opposition to joint statehood
in New Mexico was inspired not by
a desire for separate statehood, but
by opposition to statehood of any
most enthusiastic of recent date on
the statehood question. and it will
undoubtedly have wide influence in
determining sentiment in New Mexi-
co. The League having spread its
organization considerably as a result
of the meetings here during the past
week, will continue it's work on
broader lines. One of the first moves
will be the mailing of copies of the
address of Governor Powers to all
parts of New Mexico and Arizona.
| After an address by Hon. B. s. Ro-
dey, resolutions were adopted pro-
viding for the appointment of a gen
eral committee and a-eemmittee in
