tions. One other thing he mentioned

Inc experience Of the people Of other
states proves that the additional ex-
penso is much more than offset by the
increased value Of all property under
state government
The Enabling Act pranta 70 the state
for the schools and state institutions
about 5,750,00O acres Of land and
certain portion OF the proceeds Of sales
OF all public lands within the state.
Il is Of the utmost Importance that
New Mexico should be admitted as soon
as possible 50 that those lands may be
selected before an the good public
lands are disposed Of.
The income from the rentals and
sales Of this land would furnish large
revenue for the support Of the schools
and public institutions and very much
decrease the burden Of taxation.
II should be unnecessary 20 say any.
thing 10 those who have lived under
territorial form Of government, about
the desirability or statehood.
People in an ages have fought for
their independence, the right to govern
themselves
The people Of New Mexico have
struggled under a territorial govern
ment for over sixty years and it speaks
well for the character Of the people
aud the wonderful natural resources of
the country that there has been a gradu
al improvement during all that time,
in education, in government, in con
ditions of living and in everything that
makes for a higher and better civil.
zation
But during that time we have seen
successive waves Of prosperity sweep
over the country, which have enriched
the people Of our neighboring states but
Of which very little crossed the bar
rier Of territorial government into
New Mexico
We want TO elect our own governor,
judges and other officers.
We want voice in the election Of
the president Of the United States.
We need two senators and two rep
resentatiyes in congress to see that New
Mexico gets asquare deal along with
the other states; that fair share Of the
money appropriated by congress for
public Improvements be expended with
in the state; and that the millions of
acres Of land withhold and tied up in
reclamation and other projects. be
thrown open TO settlement at the earli-
est possible moment.
The wise statesmen who Negotiated
the treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which
transferred this territory and its inhabi-
tauts to the United States, realized that
the people of New Mexico could not
hope to achieve their highest destiny
under a territorial form Of government.
They stipulated that at the proper time
New Mexico should be admitted to the
enjoyment Of all the rights and privi-
leges Of sovereign state.
After long years Of waiting, the prop
en- time has come.
On Saturday the 2lst day Of January,

election ever held by any people. Let
