Americans from that vicinity.
Since the last fight at Pedernales
Orozoco, the insurrecto leader, has
been busy with most of his force

west of Guerrero. A light force was
kept in front of Navarro to impede

for the fact that 1t has taken the gem
eral a week to advance twenty miles.
The brush at Rosario Wednesday
occurred in this way:
There were rumors that some
losses had been sustained but they
were without confirmation according
to today's advices. The retreat of the
revolutionists was anything but a
rout. Orozoeo retreated with deliber-
alton to begin the work of changing
his base while his rear guard engage

forces.

lean is said to be a revolutionist.
Orozoco used up nearly all of his
ammunition at Pedernales and Nal
Paso and 1t was only two days ago
that his predicament was relieved by
the arrival OF thirty mules laden with
cartridges.
Navarro occupied Minaca yesterday

Dear SIR
Replying to yours OF the 4th inst,
l have given this constitution now be-
fore us a great deal of thought. While
there are one or two sections in Ii
that are not what | would have liked.
yet compared with the many excel
lent features II contains, those that
do not appeal to me are unimportant.
Therefore, | most heartily endorse II
In its entirety.
firmly believe that should the
people refuse to endorse the constitu
ton on January 2lst. they will make
mistake which II will take decades
to overcome. on the other hand, II
the constitution be adopted, the re-
suit will be an incalculable benefit TO
ourselves and our posterity. We
need immigration. We are large
enough and rich enough In undevelop-
ed resources to provide amply for
two million people. We cannot get
any considerable influx Of the kind
of people we want unless we can
, guarantee them protection. Our
present territorial status and the
} conditions under which we are gov
erned do not afford this but the con-
stitution as drafted for the new state
not only protects those who are now
residents Of New Mexico, but also
provides ample protection for those
who have capital and who are now
; only waiting for MS to be admitted
into the union when they viii invest
millions in developing our mines
manufacturing our timber, settling
our agricultural lands and building

AS nearly as | am able to judge
from the comments of eastern pap

one under which fair minded legisla-

all the radical ideas | would like to

mittee Statehood League:
Dear Sir
Answering yours of jan
uary 4. In which you ask
ME for my views on state
hood question.
l do not claim TO be IA
miliar enough with the con-
stitution to discuss II to any
extent. III | were familiar
with 1t and knew there
were some defects in II /
would still support 1t to the
best of my ability. What we
want now Is STATEHOOD.
The constitution can be
changed by those whom II
does not suit later. II the
majority of our citizens be-
lieve Ii should be changed.
Would be glad IL some OF
the strong critics of this
constitution would show
me a constitution of any
state in the union which Is
flawless.
IL Is my opinion that the
defeat of this constitution
would mean delay Of state
hood for us for several
years. while the passage of
ii means statehood for us
not later than the next
long session of congress. II
II we are made a state
now we will have some
merry political scraps. II
We are made a state ten
years from this time we
are still in line fer the po-
litical scraps, and In my
opinion We are aep.er able
able to handle the troubles
while we are young, as we
may not be able to come
back" in our old age.
Statehood means Pros
perity for New Mexico and in
my opinion every voter who
has the interests of New
Mexico, and incidentally his
own. at heart, should vote
for the passage OF the con-
stitution as its stands.
