national government and Of this terri
tory.
we recognize that the paramount
question at this time before the people
OF New Mexico is that of statehood
and hereby congratulate our people up.
on the provision of the Republican plat.
form that pledges the party to the i'm.
mediate admission Of the territory into
the union as state upon equal terms
with all others. 1t should be borne in
mind, however, that this pledge Is
based upon the assurance that the
territory Is now, as it has been for
many years past, reliably Republican
and in sympathy with Republican prin
ciples and policies. It would therefore
be most unfortunate II at the coming
election 1t should appear by the cleo
tion of Democratic delegate that this
assurance was not in fact well-founded
We therefore appeal to all voters. ire.
spective OF party, to promote our as
piratiOns for the great boon Of state
hood by casting their votes in the com.
ing election for Republican delegate
and thereby make assurance of state
hood doubly sure.
I'm securing the present favorable
position of our statehood application
we recognize the great services of our
present Republican delegate, the Hon
orable w. Fl. Andrews, and greatly
commend him for the energy he has
shown and the influence he has been
able to command in the houses of
Congress in promoting sentiment
favorable to the immediate admission
of the territsfy. Not only in this mat
ter but in all others wherein his duties
as delegate have been involved he has
shown his efficiency and devotion to
duty to marked degree, and we. the
Republicans of Dona Ana county, here
by extend to him our cordial thanks
and commend his favorable record

Lured to Montoya's Home.

According to the statement of Pro
fessor Ramirez, Montoya called at his
room about two o'clock in the after
noon and asked him to go over to his
house to see Mrs. Montoya who is the
pianist of the orchestra. in regard to
the music at Saturday nights dance.
Ramirez says he accompanied Montoya
to the house and after he and Mrs.
Montoya had short talk about the
music he alleges Montoya approached
him regarding matters between the
professor and Mrs. Montoya.
Ramirez says he became suspicious
and walked towards the door with the
intention of leaving the house and as
he did, so, claims Montoya reached in
his pocket and drew revolver, start.
ing toward him. Ramirez upon seeing
the weapon, made a grab for the gun
in an attempt to disarm Moytoya. The
latter pointed the pistol at Ramirez's
breast, but the latter lodged just as
MOntOya pulled the trigger of
the revolver with the result that the
bullet grazed the right side of his head,
near the top. Montoya fired again
and the bullet struck Ramirez in the
left shoulder. He then cinched with
Montoya and hit him several blows
about the head and face with the butt
of the pistol.
Combatants Finally Separated.
Mrs. Montoya screamed for help
saying her husband was killing the
professor. Jose Valencia and another
man who were in the same building
rushed in the room and found Ramirez
his face and shoulder covered with
blood, in hand-to-hand fight with
Montoya, and pistol in the hands Of

and he dressed Ramirez's wounds
which, while painful, are not serious.
This morning Ramirez was able to be
up in his room and will probably be
able to be out in few days.

make a statement regarding the affray
but it is understood that he claims
Ramirez had pistol and aimed at him
first and after seeing it he fired al

Trouble Has Been Brewing.
It is said that since Professor Ram

ago and took charge of the band and
organized the Ramirez Symphony

Montoya was the accompanist on the
piano for the quartette, she and the
professor have been together more OF

Montoya's jealousy which yesterday
reached such high pitch as to cause
