on the part of the republican leaders
to admit New Mexico to statehood.
There are enough republicans in con-
greSS who hold the same views as to
this territory as were embodied in the
Struble report made 81 a ago this
month, and those embodied in the Be
veridge report made six years ago
last December, to prevent the passage
of any statehood bill for New Mexico.
Had it not been for the fact that
Thomas B. Catron, of this city insist
ed on the insertion of a statehood
plank in the national republican plat
form adopted at Chicago last June,
nothing would have been mentioned
concerning statehood for New Mexico
in that document. The committee had
agreed on that point, but Mr.. Catron
the most astute republican politician
in New Mexico, carried his point. The
Eagle of June 20. 1908. printed the fol-
lowing:
There appeared to be a determine
tion on h part of the committee on
resolutions to leave out a statehood
plank, which was being urged by
Judge Rodey, of Porto Rico, and the
New Mexico delegation, but at an ear
ly hour on Thursday morning the CON
mittee on resolutions restored the
plank which had been stricken out by
the subcommittee. but this was not
until after Delegate Catron, of this
city had declared that the convention
seemed to he busily fixing matters so
as to make democratic victory easy in
New Mexico next fall. The final de-
cision of b committee to put a state
hood plank in b platform was un-
doubtedly due to a desire to help the
republican party to carry this terri
tory at b coming election, and not
on account of any intention on the
part OF the delegates, or the republi-
can leaders to keep the pledge and
use the party machinery to pass a bill
for the admission of New Mexico to
the union"
It was just as apparent to the Eagle
then as 1t Is now that the republicans
had no intention OF admitting this ter
ritory and that the plank was put in
the platform for the purpose of aiding
the election of a republican delegate
to congress. Hundreds of democrats
swallowed the bait and the result was
the election of Andrews who could
not have been elected without the
promise of Immediate" statehood. !
The attitude Of the republican party
toward e Mexico has not changed
during the past twenty years, nor is
It likely to change. yet the voters of
this terF9tory continue their chfldsHke
faith In the promises of the republican
party, none of which have been kept.
The last EFFORT to pass q statehood bin
which terminated last Saturday,re-
suited again in advertising to the
world the rottenness OF conditions in
this territory n may end in another
sensational investigation and & report
similar IN character to the Struble re-

that these leaders Of a gang who have
controlled the affairs of the Territory
for Ian were the important factor IN
the defeat of statehood.
Andrews vas nominated against
the protests of the masses of the re
publican party for Congress last sum-
mer-he was simply showed on them.
His agents went into most every coun
ty n controlled b conventions
through promises of great things and
coercion. The party did not want
him, but the men who controlled 81
fairs did. But the party accepted him
in a ~half-hearted way, some as a mat
ter of party pride" and some who
believed that in order to secure state.
hood it was necessary to elect him.
The Republican party was not, in re.
atty responsible for his nomination,
but the republican party is RESPONSE
BILE for his election-the election of a
man who has proven himself to be the
cause of statehood's defeat, instead ot
the man whom it was necessary to
elect that we might be admitted as a
state.
Andrews promised to resign If he
did lot secure statehood for New Mex
leo from the short session of Congress
just closed. He did not do it. Will he
keep his work? Will he resign? 1t is
now plain to be seen that the Terri
tory's interests demand his prompt
resignation"

these reports were made by repubh-
cans and there is not the slightest rea
son to suppose that another republi-
can report will differ materially from

Twenty years ought to be long
enough time to convince the voters of

republican party is not frfendfy--to-

ility, the ext campaign will be fought
