CHAIRMAN JONES OPPOS-
ED TO A CONVENTION.

A.. A. Jones, of Las Vegas, chair
man of the Democratic Territorial
Central Committee, has given out the
statement that he is unalterably op-
posed to the proposal made by Dele
gate Andrews to call a constitutional
convention, draft a constitution and
submit that constitution to congress
as a basis for separate statehood. Mr..
Jones points out that such a consti-
tuition would be worthless until it
was first voted on by the people. He
calls attention to the fac la some
years ago a constitution was voted
down by the people of New Mexico,
he argues hat no attempt should
be made to secure statehood except
in the regular way of obtaining an
enabling act, have the people elect
delegates to draw up a legal consti-
tuition and then allow the people to
vote on the constitution. Il am heart
and soul il favor of statehood" said
Mr.. Jones, but if congress has so
little confidence in us that it must
demand a specimen constitution be-
fore an enabling act is passed, it will
be better for us to remain a terrific
ry a little longer"

She writes most enthusiastically of
the school there, which is excellently
equipped and employs some fifty
teachers. The city itself she found to
be somewhat a surprise, having about
81, 900 inhabitants. Situated as it is
in the widest and toughest looking
country, the main streets have brick
walks and paving. Some of the hous-
are built in tiers up the sides of
steep mountains, and yet the town
contains many fine public buildings,
stores. etc, quite equal to those of

officially that the window had been
left open by the burglar after leav-

doubtless will be an application for
a franchise by a private company. The
first private ownership proposition.
however, was defeated by four to one,
while the municipal ownership prop
osition vas defeated by only two to
one. The same men who worked ag-

there are many choice varieties pro.
