Elections for the ratification Of tho con
stitution for the proposed state OF New
Mexico are to he held throughout the
territory tomorrow.
The indications are that a heavy vote
will be poled. The constitution was
framed by a convention Overwhelmingly
Republican and that party is united i'll it's
support. The Democracy Is divided. one
wing OF the party ardently supporting
the constitution. while the other is just
as ardently opposing il
The most bitter opposition comes from
the temperance people, who made an un-
successful attempt to have a prohibition
clause incorporated in the constitution.
Leaders of the Anti-Saloon league assert
that they will never permit New Mexico
TO enter the union otherwise than as 4
prohibition stale.
Charges OF attempted fraud in the cleo
ton arc being made by those opposed
10 the constitution. The charge OF fraud
is based on the statement of an timer
ant evangelist working in Albuquerque
that ballots against the constitution
were not being printed in some coun-
