very difficult to solve this riddle. Stat.

voting precinct, belonging to the elec
ton of 1906, very carefully examined
by a competent person to ascertain
what proportion Of the voters were
of Spanish, Mexican or Indian des-
cent, and what proportion were OF
Anglo-Saxon or other origin. The vot'
ing lists are all certified and sent to
the Secretary Of the Territory, and
we're therefore available for exanina'
ton. The result showed that 63.51 PEI

of Spanish, Mexican and Indian des
