ARE NOT AFRAID
OF THE MORMONS
New Mexico Sentiment Openly Ex-
pressed in a Political Disease
Arizona is Burdened With.

The New Mexican takes no stock in
the agitation of the Mormon question
in New Mexico and Arizona. The
passage of the present Hamilton joint
statehood must be fought upon other
grounds if the opposition would be
successful. There is absolutely no
danger of Mormon domination in the
new state of Arizona, should it be or
gained The Mormon question is too
far fetched to be brought into the
play. At the very utmost there are not
over 500 Mormons in New Mexico and
probably not over 5000 in Arizona.
New Mexico's soil is not congenIal to
Mormorism and where there is as
strong a Catholic population as there
is in this territory, Mormon religious
principals cannot take root and -four
ish. The subject is not OF sufficient
consequence to give it much newspep-
er space. As is we'll known, the New
Mexican is against the passage of the
joint statehood bill, but it makes its
fight upon solid facts and figures. The
Mormon problem is not vexing one
in this commonwealth and what is
more, it never will be.-Santa Fe New
Mexican.
One of the desirable features of the
consolidated state of Arizona VIII be
identieally on the above linse. 1t is
notorious fact that in every biennial
election in Arizona, the Mormon
knows but one political creed, and as
the last election will again prove they
hold the power by their vote to elect
or defeat any candidate. In twenty
years they have with but one or two
exceptions voted solidIy for one party
candidate, and Notwithstanding rain-
bow promises they will continue to be
identified with the same political
channel in the future. 1t is a dis
graceful admission to make, but it is
nevertheless true that this so called
religious order has and will dominate
this territory at the polls. We would
welcome an associate like New Mexico,
under these conditions of theological
fairness, not the contracted element
that is uppermost today in this terri
tory. Mark Smith, the idol of delaoe-
racy as we'll as of Nor nonism, is faith
full to mis- cause. in his strong opposi-
ton to the unionizing of statehood. He

Nearly everyone around here is now
