Here's HopefuIness.

Should the increase in POPULATION
in New Mexico continue for the next
year as rapidly as it has in the year
past, there will be, by the time of the
election, not less than 400, 900
people in New Mexico. The immigra-
ton mostly into the eastern coun-
ties of the Territory and is OF the
farming classes, mostly from Texas,
Oklahoma and the middle West. 1t
of the voters coming into the Terri
tory are Democrats, so hat it ought
not to be difficult to predict the re-
suit of the next election.-Santa Fe
