Il have heard much about harmony
said Mr.. Ely. But harmony can only
come with the Lroper leadership
Harmony at the expense of principle
or decencv comes at too high price
The people of New Mexico have a
right to demand these things of their

"If your leaders do not measure mp
to the standard it becomes your duty
not to follow them. "

of constitution.
He argued against too great haste
in drawing and approving the con-
stitution. Pointing out that it re-
quirsd fcarteen years to draw the
constitution of the United States.
he urged those impatient for i'm

election of public officials. to have u
care against too great haste; to give
time and thought TO the constitution
30 that when completed and adopted
we can live under it the rest of our
lives and hand it to our children as a
useful document He showed that in
the framing of the constitution and
equally in the problems of establish
ing the new state, New Mexico, has
more need of statesmen than of politi-
clans in the generally accepted sense of
the word. He urged that thought he
