BIG PAPERS WOULD
CHANGE OUR
NAME
of Immediate AdmiS-
sion Of New Mexico Brings
Forth Plea That New State
Be Named Lincoln

After leaving New Mexico to fight
matter of fifty years, some OF the big
newspapers of the middle states and
the east. now that there is a fair
prospect for immediate admission,
propose to supply the new state with
a name, holding hat New Mexico win
not do.
The Chicago Tribune recently car
ried an article advocating editorially
that the new state be named Lin
coin" This editorial has been widely
copied throughout the east and has
inspired a number of other editorial
suggestions to the same end. The
Tribune editorial follows:
The suggestion for appropriate
memorials to Abraham Lincoln in
connection with his centenary are
many. one correspondent contends
that "A state should be named for him.
President Roosevelt has expressed the
hope that he may be given the priVi-
lege of signing bills for the admission
to separate statehood of New Mexico
and Arizona. If this hope is realized
the opportunity for such action viii
be available.
The name Arizona ought to be kept.
II is e~uphonious. II has its distinct
American flavor. The words New
Mexico" mean nothing. They recall a
chapter of history not pleasant to most
citizens. Their abandonment for the
name Lincoln would cause no regret
To the people OF the territory The
suggestion is a good one. It ought
to be followed mp.
our states are named after English
and French rulers. after favored lords.
after pioneer explorers. after indian
words. often fun ST meaning. after
features of the landscape. In one in
stance only has AN American states
man been honored in this way. With
the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico the continental territories will
cease Ia exist. save distant Alaska.
other states may be formed from
Movements for division else
have been favored ia tho past
and may be noted ia the future But
10 any one is to share with Washing
the glory of having a state named
for him. Lincoln is undoubtedly the
one To choose. IL would be "a happy
situation it the honor could be- given

ton. l never sought their COM
bined Endorsement, and feel that
| could not honorably have done
so in a primary whose basic
principle is opposed to such ac-
ton, and under my pledge to the
people Of this State that I would
not.
[ consider it radically wrong
and undemocratic in principle to
use the rules and dicipline of
caucus action by any subordi-
nate party organization to coerce
the minority of such organization
against any member of such
party. but there can be no doubt
Of the wrong when a law framed
by that party itself condemns
such action. l am told that this
is the effect given the Primary
Law in Mississippi, and that any
attempt to control the voters OF
that State has never failed to re-
ceive the resentment of the peO.
pie.
But there is this, moreover.
which is Objectionable and often.
sive to our sense of selfrespect
and manhood, and that is the
clear attempt of the bosses to
extend their control over the
politics of the State, and to CEN
tralize the power of State admin
istration in New Orleans and its
vicinity.
There are four remaining
State candidates to be nomina-
ted at the second primary
namely, the Lieutenant Govern
or, the Attorney General. Audi
tor and Register of the Land
Office. Three of these-to wit,
Messrs. Guion, Capdevielle and
Crandell-are residents of the
city of New Orleans, and are
identified with her every in.
terest, and Mr.. Lambremont
lives in st. James,, one of the
near parishes to the city, and
has always been in close political
afiliation with the city, If the
bosses succeed in carrying out
their purpose, the balance of the
State will practically be bereft of
representation in the States ad-
ministration, and it is to be hoped
that the country, at least. will
not stand for such a condition.
1 trust the people of this State
will not permit themselves to be
dismayed by the dictum of the
bosses. There is a strong feel
ing in the city against it. which
need only assert itself at the
polls. But if New Orleans is in
ert in her sense of self-respect
and manhood, there is still the
country, to which we might look
for our redemption from ring
rule and domination.
Men are nothing to the people,
beyond the principles for which
they stand. and if the bosses
have selected ano put out ticket
it is not on account of their love
for the candidates they nomina-
ted, but because they represent
ideas and principles in accord
| with their own.
It may be the boast of the
bosses that they have the city of
New Orleans under their power,
and that the submissiveness of
her people has rendered them
bold, and they wish to extend
that power over the country.
That appears to be the drift of
events. tits up to the people of
the State to say whether it shall
be so. The issue is clearly
made. The verdict will be rem
dered on the 25th inst. There
can be no question as to the re-
suit if the people will turn out
and vote. Men of Louisiana,
stand by the primary law!
Respectfully.
