Mighty Poor Excuse.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, April PA
telegram received yesterday by Sum
mers Burkhart, says the Albuquerque
! Journal, throws further light on the
wonderful brain processes OF the four
| distinguished patriots, supposedly
representing the Democratic party
who are now in Washington 10 as
sumo the onerous responsibility OF
changing New Mexicos constitution
for her. The telegram referred to
was as follows:
We find it impossible to get early
admission without providing Tor some
change in the enabling act and meth
cd of amending the constitution by
| the people. 1t is utterly useless to
talk of early admission without such
action. Fall, Curry and other Repub-
licans are, in our opinion, only caus-
ing delay.
(Signed) "A A. Jones, W. r. Nc
Gill, H. B. Ferguson, j. D. Hand"
The utter, insane foolshness of
such statement is the final demon
stration of the fact that the Demo.
cratic party or New MeSioo ought 10
take these brilliant statesmen and
put them in padded cells until the
statehood matter is finally settled
The publication of this telegram re.
moves the last doubt that these gen.
! tlemen are in Washington for the sole
and simple purpose of blocking state
hood The statement, made by whom
;soever, that the constitution is not
amendable by the people is a bald
glaring, transparent falsehood. The
gentlemen who are making this state
!, ment know it to be a falsehood which
lis refuted by the wording Of the con
stitution, so plainly that a school boy
can see it. The spectacle of four al
legged Democrats who have been re
pudiated by the rank and file of the
New Mexico Democracy assuming t
decide as to the possibility of early
admission and assuming to say wha
changes shall be made in a constitu
ton ratified by the whole people i!
one that has disgusted people of al
parties all over New Mexico.
A prominent Democrat of this city
said yesterday that if it isfound tha
any serious delay is being occasioneC
by these four men, the parry will senC
a strong delegation of it's leaders t.
the capital in person to brand tht
knockers and protest to congres
against their impertinence.
| Telegrams and letters are alraad
being sent by Democrats all over tht
territory, particularly in the Peco
valley and the local Democrats will
transmit telegram of protest today
i. New Park in Arizona.
