RECORD FOR CONSTITUTION

IF an yfurther evidence were need
ed as to how his county will stand.
it was furnished by Mr.. Numa Fren-
ger. chairman of the democratic coun-
ty committee. Mr.. Frenger has been
an opponent of the constitution and
had not declared himself for 1t up
to the time of our meeting. When the
meeting opened, however, he was
elected chairman ana in opening the
meeting declared himself uncondition-
ally for the constitution. He said that
up to the time he talked with Mr..
larrazolo he had not given the con-
stltution careful reading, but that he
had now done so and was satisfied
mat 1t was to the best interest of every
citizen Of New Mexico regardless of
political consideration, to vote for the
constitution and for Immediate state
mood. Mr.. Freneer urged on the peo-
pie that our first duty Is to insure
immediate admission and that party
supremacy can we'll afford to wait un-
I'll afterward to be decided Our re-
ception at Las Cruces and the atten-
ton and applause accorded each
speaker as well as our private talk
with the people convinced us abso-
tutely that Las Cruces Is practically
solid for the constitution.

Opposition Confined to Two or
Three Persons and County
Tenders Real Ovation to
Speakers,
SOUTHERN ~ MEXICO
ENTHUSES, SAYS M0NT0YA
People Want Statehood First,
Last and All the Time and
viii See That Every Possible
Vote Gets Out.

Five hundred majority for the
constitution and for immediate state
hood for New Mexico in Dona Ana
county, is the good news which Hon
Nestor Montoya brings back with him
from Southern New Mexico where he
has been for several days with Gov
ernor Mills, o. A. I.arrazolo, III. o.
Bursum and others, holding non-parti-
san meetings in behalf of the con-
stitution.
Not only will Dona Ana county roll
Montoya. but interest in the consti-
tuition and the reasonable certainty of
immediate statehood has aroused the
people of all southern New Mexico,
with the result that il now seems GER
tain that every county in the south
will return substantial majority for
the constitution. Everywhere the
speakers were greeted with enthusi-
asm. Everywhere they found inter-
est in the constitution awakening and
the opposition waning. The great
mass of the people in southern New
Mexico, Mr.. Montoya declares, are
keenly alive to the vital Importance
Of the election now less than three
weeks away and he anticipates a
heavy vote and a great majority for
statehood
Opponents OF statehood have tried
industriously to leave the impression
that Dona Ana county is against the
the noise made by one or two dissat-
isfied persons as evidence of this op-
position.
According to Mr.. Montoya. the OPP
position to statehood in Dona Ana
county is confined to two or three
people whose combined influence Will
have but little effect on the vote.
THE statement that Dona Ana
county will go against the constitu-
ton or that there is any consider
able opposition there, Is absurd" said
Mr.. Montoya yesterday morning at
the headquarters of the Statehood

and myself arrived in Las Cruces
Monday evening and received the most
enthusiastic reception | have ever
seen accorded to a party of speakers
in New Mexico on campaign duty.
The meeting there left nothing TO be
desired either in the way of attend
ance or enthusiasm. The fact Is. the
people of Jas Cruces want statehood.
There Is no question how they are go
ing to vote, and they are going to see
that every voter gets out.
