convention, and the people will want
to consider the proposition
The constitution framed by this
convention must be good one If
it is, the people will favor it, and we
will have statehood If it is not good,
we will have no statehood. There
must be restrictions as to the ex-
penses Of the government, such as
the national government now has in
effect in the Territory. The limit
should be no greater than it now is
There must be a law that will pre-
vent counties from issuing bonds to
assist railroads and other corpora
tions. A governor must be allowed
to hold but one four-year term. A
governor must be disqualified from
running for United States senator
These last requirements would pre-
vent the building up of a machine in
politics and would get better service
from the governors With these pro
visions, as we'll as others, the peo-
pie will adopt a constitution and we
will have statehood"

Such is the Prediction of Major W..

Having finished his work in the
present term of court, Major w. H
H. Llewellyn, U. S. Attorney, left this
morning for his home in Las Cruces.
Major Llewellyn has just returned
from Washington, where he dined
with the President and spent some
time working in the interest of New
Mexico applicants for re-appoint-
ment. Before leaving Roswell he said
to Record reporter: "The joint
statehood bill will pass, granting Ari-
zona and New Mexico statehood if
they desire it. A single statehood bill
would not pass in your lifetime or
mine. There is no doubt but what the
constitutional convention will be
held by New Mexico and Arizona.

The Tallmadge Case Will Come Up
for Trial in the Spring.
After hearing the evidence and the
last of the argument in the applica-
tion for a change of venue by the
defendant in the case of the United
States against B. H. Tallmadge, in
Federal Court this morning, Judge

grounds for change were not suffi-
cient, and the petition was refused.
The case will come up for trial here
next March or April. The 80 days
time given originally by Judge Pope
was extended 80 days, and this will
give defendant until the latter part
of March to make a new answer.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 20.-The proc
morrow at noon has created most in
tense excitement. If it can be sue
cessfuHy begun and maintained the
revolutionists are confident that it
will break the governments back
In government circles, however,
confidence is expressed that the pro-
letariat organizations cannot effect
complete tie-up and that the strike
must be of short duration. This hope
seems to be based on the theory that
the extreme program of the Reds"
has alienated the sympathy of a
large proportion of the real work
men, ard upon what they claim to
be absolute knowledge that the org
anizations are without funds.
The governments calculations in
the past, however, have proved deplo
rably at variance with the true situa-
tion. and the strike leaders declare
that the government is again hope
lessly ignorant of the magnitude of
the struggle confronting it. From
the nature of the appeal of the lead
ers to the troops. it is evident that
they expect to precipitate crisis in
the army.
The Central labor committee pro-
poses to stop all work in the empire
not only railroads, but manufactur
ing, wholesale and retail stores and
all government works except water
works. Bakeries in cities will be al
lowed to run, unless they raise the
price of bread.
The police are hunting down and
arresting the strike leaders as rap
idly as they can be found Compare
lively few captures have been made,
however.
On account of some confusion the
general strike was proclaimed at
Moscow at noon today instead of to-
morrow. 1t began with a complete
suspension of street car service The
government enters on the new strug-
gle greatly crippled. The situation in
the Baltic provinces is growing stea-
dily worse, and in the Caucasus the

reign of terror AT Sebastopol new
mutinies have occurred, and 1,600 sol
diers have been disarmei and are
under guard. The troops at Kharkoff
have revolted and the inhabitants
are still administering the affairs of
the city. The weather has been very
cold and a deep snow covers the
country as far south as Kieff 1t is
believed that few days hunger and
starvation will easily drive the peo-
pie to desperation and provoke up
risings and attacks upon the part of
the strikers, and perhaps result in
general piliage.
