Monster Petition Received bQ
LeagueExeCutiveC Committee
DOCUMENTS ARE RAPIDLY
FORWARDED TO CONGRESS
B. S. ROdey Will Probably Address
Big Arizona Joint Statehood Gath
ePing at Tucson Dec, IA, y

The people of New Mexico are ex-
pressing themselves in no uncertain
terms to congress on the question of
statehood. Petitions are being now
forwarded from all over the territory,
asking that congress pass a bill this
session admitting New Mexico with
Arizona as a ioint state.
A most enthusiastic meeting of the
executive committee of the Non-Par-
tisan Statehood League was held last
night in the offices of Bernard S.. Ro-
ley, at which petitions were read from
the following cities and counties of
New Mexico: Roswell and Chaves
county. Portales and Roosevelt coun-
ty, Gallup and Mckinley county, So
zorro and Socorro county, Las Cruces
and Dona Ana county Captain and
Lincoln county. Springer and Colfax
county. Silver CITY and Grant county,
several towns in the northern part of
Santa Fe and Rio Arriba county and
elsewhere in the territory. Letters
were also read from prominent New
Mexicans in the other counties saying
that the netitions sent out by the joint
statehood league have been extensive
ly signed and will be sent in at once.
Several have already been sent on to
Senator Beveridge and Chairman
Hamilton of the house committee on
territories from various places, nota-
bly, Roswell where the petition was
signed by practically every citizen. w.
C. Reid. of Roswell. to whom the petit
tion was sent, renorted that inside of
two hours it had been signed by over
three hundred neople.
Members of the league in the vari
Gus counties also report that county
conventions arc being arranged at
which resolutions will be passed sim
liar TO the petltions
A Morning Journal representative
had the pleasure of looking at a num-
ber OF the petitions last night and saw
appended to them the names of the
most prominent citizens of the terri
tory irrespective of party. Besides
sending in his name on a petition a
well known officeholder of Silver City
addressed a letter to Mr.. Rodey In
which he expressed himself as en-
phatcallv in favor of jointure, and
many other similar letters are in the
committees nossession.
At the meeting last night we're
heard numerous expressions of satis-
faction at the appointment as COVER
nor of Herbert 7 Hagerman, well
known to be an ardent advocate of
Joint statehood.
A look at these netitions Is enough
to convince the most skeptlcal that
the people of New Mexico are over
whelmlnRlv in favor of ioint statehood.
Mr.. Roiev has received a letter
from Secretary Mark A. Rodgers Of
the Pima county. Arizona. statehood
association asking him to be in Tucson
on December IA to address a territor-
ial Joint statehood convention TO be
held there at that time. From Mr..
Rodgers letter it appears that this
gathering will be a great demonstra-
ton.
Another meeting Of the executive
committee will he held at the same
place Tuesday night and further i'm
portant action will be taken In behalf
of the statehood league

The dispatches say nothing as to the
reasons for the mutlny or of the ie-

is frankly given by some OF the high

principal and underlying reason for

therefore, 1t is not easy to organize a

which are now being mobiliZed in the
Don provinces will apparently be
needed in the home districts to pre-
serve order.

If you are suffering from rheuma-

cure yourself and do it quickly if you
will lay side your prejudice and
skepticism.

Uricsol cures rheumatism in the
only possible way 1t can be cured
Uric Acid and Urates are the cause
Of Rheumatism. These are deposited
in the tissues, blood vessels and joints
OF the body.
These deposits must be dissolved
and eliminated from the system be-
fore cure can be accomplished.
Uricsol is a solvent of these and
tones up the system, stimulates the
