suits to New Mexico in more than
one respect He assisted greatly in
clearing away much misconceptiOn
and misin 'crmation about recent
events in New Mexico. He brought
to successful conclusion many mat

convinced himself that the feeling in
the national capital is really very
friendly to the Territory and that

are just as anxious to fulfill the party
pledges regarding statehood as was
the House. 4 believe that satisfac-
tory statehood bill will be passed."
