INDIANA PEOPLE ARE URGED To
WRITE AND WIRE SENATOR
BEvER|DGE ON STATEHOOD
Hooser Clubs May Be Means Of Securing Admission of New
Mexico at Present Session of Congress- albuquerque Or
ganlzaton Expected to Take Lead in Movement Which
Must Be Started Within the Next Twenty-FOu Hours.

Ispecial Dispatch 10 the Morning journal
Santa Fe. \. M. Jan. 25.-It is pos
sible that those citizens of New Mex
leo who came here from Indiana and
who have friends and relatives in that
state may be the means of securing
admission to the union for New Mex
leo at the short session of congress.
Governor Curry received a telegram
from Washington today urging him to
get all of the Indiana people in New
Mexico to write or wire to their
friends in Indiana, urging them to APP
peal to Senator Beveridge to with
draw his opposition to the statehood
bill 1t is not desirable that appeal be
made direct to Senator Beverdge, but
that he hear from his people at home
The desire is to make an organized
movement of this kind among Indiana
people i'm New Mexico, and Governor
Curry suggests that the Indiana peo-
pie hold meetings in every town in
New Mexico and see to it that every
man write his proportion of letters or
send his quota of kilograms. The In
diana society of Albuquerque could
well afford to take this up, not only
as a society, but individually, among
the members, because their active as
sistance now may be the direct means
of removing the last obstacle to state
hood. Meetings of Indiana people will
be held within the next twentyfour
hours in all the larger towns Of New
Mexico, and Albuquerque should take
the lead
