TO BEGIN IN EARNEST
IN BERNALILL0 COUNTY
Governor William ], Mills to At
tend the Monster Statehood
Meeting a It EIks' Theater
Thursday Night,

The opening gun OF the campaign
for the ratification of the constitu-
ton for New Mexico, win be fired in
Bernalillo county Thursday night, De-
eember 20, at monster statehood
meeting 20 be held in the ElSs the
ater beginning at S.15. The meeting
will be bipartisan affair. Poll
tics will not enter into the discussion
of the constitution 1t will be discus
sed in a broad and statesmanlike man
ner, with political doctrines and
isms" placed in the background.
There will be democratic and republi-
can speakers, well known for their
oratorical powers, who will talk about
the constitution and explain it, to-
gether with the benefits which New
Mexico will gain If the act is ratified.
Governor William j. Mills, in re-
sponse to requests from both demo-
Gratis and republicans, has agreed to
come to Albuquerque Thursday and
attend the meeting. 1t is quite pos
sible that Governor Mills will be call
ed upon to say something pertaining
10 the constitution. Governor Mills
former chief justice of the supreme
court Of New Mexico, was appointed
as governor by President Taft, it VIII
be remembered, because the president
considered him. both as q man and a
lawyer eminently desirable to occupy
the position as chief executive of the
territory while g constitution was be-
ing framed Governor Mills was in
santa Fe throughout the constitution

ent parts of the constitution as they
we're adopted The governor is there
fore naturally unusually well inform
ed on the provisions OF the organic
act and an explanation by him Thurs
dav night will be both interesting and
Instructive.
Prominent among the democrats
who have agreed to speak on the con-
stitution is o. A. Larrazolo, OF Las
Vegas Mr.. Larrazolo has been for
Years prominent in the councils OIL the
democratic party in New Mexico. He
has been tireless and indefatisable IN
his efforts to increase the influence
of his party in the territory. Mr. Lar
razolo is very popular with the voters
cf Bernalillo county regardless of po-
iitical civilization, and many will at
tend the meeting to hear him tell, in
his brilliant oratorical style. why he
thinks the constitution framed at
santa Fe a good constitution, and why
ne is going to vote for 1t first, last
and all the time.
While in this county Mr.. Larrazolo
will deliver number OF speeches,
both in Spanish and English. He will
arrive in Albuquerque Wednesday
morning and viii speak al big nom
partisan meeting in the court house
at old Town at 1880 o'clock Wednes-
day night. On Thursday morning he
will speak in the villages south OF
Town and in the afternoon at Ala
media and other small towns, north of
the city.
The announcement that an active
partisan campaign is to be be-
gun in this county for the purpose
of explaining the provisions of the
constitution. and working for its rat
ification on January 21, has met with
instant favor among voters in Albu-
queraue and contiguous territory.
