Hon. NJ, G. Spicer, Chamber Of Cons
merce Building, Clovis n. NJ,
Dear sir Yours Of the Sth inst.
Ia at hand. / do not find here any
opposition to the early admission of
Arizona and New Mexico. There was
some objection to the form of the New
Mexico constitution by those who are
inclined to believe somewhat in the
exercise of power or lodgment OF
power, ut least, in the people There
was some objection to the Arizona
constitution, on the other hand, by
those who do not believe In the people
exercising much control over their af-
fairs But those have been correct
ed and so far as know the Flood
resolution viii, without doubt, pass
when It comes up the ith of August
which Is the day set for the vote on
it.
Remembering with pleasure when
YOU were q resident Of Minnesota, and
with best wishes, | am
Cordially yours,
"MQSES 10. CLAPP."
"J. T. White, Weathorford, Okla.
"My Dear Mr.. white. Your letter
Of July 10Th Is received and ! am very
glad to have your suggestions AS to
statehood ann heartily i'm accord
with your views. ana am pleased to
say I am confident of favorable ac-
ton in the matter before the present
session ends With best wishes, | am
VERY truly yours
"JOSEpH H. BRlSTOW."
Those and many other similar let
ters have been received by Mr.. Mabry.
Mr. Mabrv is of the opinion that the
letters aud kilograms sent hv the peo-
ple of Now Mexico and Arizona are
largely responsible for the favorable
action of congress thus far, and that
the people should at once begin an
active campaign along the same lines
and continue until the matter is set
tied ON the seventh of August
Ambition is beginning to stir in the
breasts Of quite q number of people
and the different political aspirants
are freely discussed on the streets.
Judge ]. s, Fitzhugh one OF the
pioneer citizens of Clovis, ana an able
and conservative lawyer, is being dis
cussed as a possible candidate for
district Judge. Quite IA number are
also talking Of the fitness Of Hon.
Harry l.. Patton to take the seat to be
vacated hv Hon VIM II. Ponc in the
event of statehood Mr. Patton Is one
of the leading attorneys in eastern
New Mexico and his record as law
yer will do much toward assisting him
should he become candidate.
There seems TO be from one To ten
slated for each Of the yari-
Gus county Offices
