Hon. Nestor Montoya OF Albuquer
que editor OF ia Bandera Ameri-
cam. member Of the constitutional
convention and several legislatures
lon his way to Rio Arriba county, this
forenoon declared that Valencia, So,
corro and Bernalillo counties viii
roll up at least $500 majority for the
constitution. He added that San Mi
!guel will give at least 1000 majority
land the southeastern part of the Ter
IritOry 1000 more. But we ought tt
make the total majority 10000 saic
/ mn. MontUya. ii is now only ques
ton of majority and that ought to b'
as handsome a majority as it is pos
/, sible to roll up so as to demonstrate
Ito the world that we are indeed fl
, for statehood. There ought not b
one county in the twenty-six givin
a majority against it"
What Colorado Did.
Says Editor Claussen of the FOl
, Sumner Republican in a reminiscer
mood:
"Wheu the Coloradoans voted on tn
adoption of their constitution thirt,
five years ago, there was only on
, iquestion considered-how many vote
could we poll. Practically everybod
voted for it, and in their zealousnes
many who voted early forgot tn;
they had been to the polls and vote
the second and in some instances tt
third time. 1t was for a good caus
and was the first step toward makir
great state. The old print has ne
er regretted the mite he contribute
toward the formation of the Cente
nial state, and expects, in less tha
thirty-fve years, he will see Ne
Mexico away ahead of the FoOrad
of today"
