"OutFin New Mexico the people all
firmly believe that congress at this
session will admit the territory to
statehood, declared Delegate William
II. Andrews, who has been known
down in ,ihis bailiwiek for eight years
AZ the official statehood getter.
The republican party and he
democratic party both were pledged
in the last campaign to admit the ter
ritory to statehood, and there is no
reason why they should not make
FOOD this time added Mr.. Andrews.
New Mexico has all the necessary
and legal qualifications to admit it to
the sisterhood of states. The popula.
ton is greater than the minimum re-
onired; the valuation of property, the
schools. the public improvements
everywhere are equal to, and, in fact,
superior to those in many states.
New Mexico is a rich country in
every respect and her prospects are
the brightest. She will be a bright
star in the glorious banner of the
United States. There is no doubt, in
my mind, about New Mexico lining up
in the republican column and sending
republican members not only to the
house, but also to the senate. Bush
ness is improving and people are
making money and are happy"
