lowing TO the columns OF the New

To the Editor OF the Evening Post:
Sir:-You say New Mexico is in no
way fitted for statehood. II your OBJ
lection IS based on the ground that
its attempts at selfgovernment have
heretofore not been highly successful.
the reply is pertinent that a good part
OF the political sins committed in the
name OF New Mexico were committed
by eastern carpet baggers. appointed
to Office by a complaisant president.
The indigenous political crimes OF
New Mexico are no worse than, II as
bad as, those which have recently
come to light in New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, etc.
II your objection is based on popu-
lation, or rather the lack OF it, a
complete refutation of your argument
is to be found in the table below,
which shows the total number OF
votes cast in the last general election
in 1908. The New Mexico vote was
for delegate 10 congress. The figures
for the other states are for presiden-
