Just five weeks after the official
canvass of the vote cast on Noyem-
Der I was begun, the certificate for
President Taft is ready and tele-
gram received from Congressman
Elect George Curry says he will ar
rive from his home in Tularosa, this
evening and will leave on the Santa
Fe Flyer tonight with the certificate
which will reach the White House on
Wednesday forenoon of next week,
although the hope is expressed that
President Taft will take judicial not
ice of the fact that the canvass has
been completed according to law and
will issue his statehood proclamation
as a New Years gift to the people of
the commonwealth who have strug-
gled sixty years for statehood. For
the first time, the canvassing board
gave out the total official vote cast

ing the remainder, only three tickets

only one, Valencia county, anything
