Of Big Delegation.

Governor Curry and Hon. w. s
Hopewell, president of the Territorial
Statehood League, had lengthy con
ference yesterday afternoon concern
ing the adoption of plans OF action
and work of the league. Governor Cur.
ry informed Mr.. Hopewell that he had
received donation of $66 from the
citizens of the town of Ia Rito, Rio
Arriba county, which was sent by
Colonel Venceslao Jaramillo, a lead
ing citizen of northwestern New
Mexico and who has served very
creditably as member of the Coun
ell and House of the Assembly. Col
onel Jaramillo headed the list with
$25. This struck Mr. Hopewell as very
commendable and he Immediately put
down his subscription of 500 for the
expenses of the league Money is the
sinews of war, especially politically
and as the admission of New Mexico
to the sisterhOod of states is a po'
litical matter 1t will take some money
for legitimate purposes to carry the
plan into effect. After several hours
discussion Governor Curry and Mr.
Hopewell agreed upon the following
plan:
Within the next ten days Governor
Curry will proceed to Washington,
consult Delegate w. H. Andrews and
look the situation over carefully. 1t

ted to the sisterhood of states and to
present facts and figures which will
demonstrate beyond cavil the fitness
OF the people of New Mexico to be-
come sovereigns and their ability to
support a strong and efficient state
government. Regular commissions will
be issued to these delegates. The gov
ernor and Mr.. Hopewell have been
duly authorized and directed by reso-
lutions OF the statehood league to do
