There is not much to add to the an
nouncement of the New Mexican on
Saturday afternoon at four o'clock
that the constitution had swept the
state by 10000 majority and that a
veritable landslide engulfed the anti
statehood leaders in Santa Fe coun
ty for the entire county did not give
800 votes against the constitution and
only IA men could be found in Santa
Fe who voted against the constitu-
ton. By all appearances, Santa Fe
county gave the largest majority of
any county for the constitution and
Santa Fe the largest majority of any
city or town. In other words, Santa
Fe county and Santa Fe city have re-
deemed themselves in the eyes of the
people, not only of New Mexico, but
of the entire United States. The
great rock that impeded the progress
of Santa Fe has been rolled away and
from now on, the city should go for
ward by leaps and bounds, that is if
its citizenship remains as united as
it was at the polls on Saturday.
By $50 p. m, on Saturday evening,
all the votes in the city had been
counted and verified the count made
during the day as the election pro-
gressed. for no one made any secret
of the kind of ballot he cast. Prac,
tically every vote was gotten out and
SO it can not be said that the election
was carried by default or that any
large number of citizens failed to ex
press their will The total number
of votes cast was 1875 of which IA
were against and 1901 for, making a
clear majority of 1928. In other words
only about one voter out of every
eighteen voted against his own best
interests, Precinct No. 3 was the
banner precinct This was George
w. Armijo's and Jose D. Senas pre-
cinct, both of whom contributed sc
valiently to the success of the cause
throughout the entire commonwealth
This precinct also recorded the few
est votes against the constitution, and
as it is a Spanish speaking precinct
this testi1es to the patriotism of the
native-born people.
The County.
Outside of the city, the county also
stood for its own best interests. Two

You will hardly get a vote for the
constitution in southern Santa Fe

of disaffection had only "a votes

Even Cienega had five majority foI
it. Northern Santa Fe county dit

received from Pojoaque, Ildefonso
