the Taft smile this morning as he dis
cussed the election Saturday. you
may say for me that the result is
most gratifying" he said, "and what
is particularly pleasing is that the
constitution was voted on as strong
ly in the Democratic as in the Repub-
Ii an counties. 1t is pleasing to the
last degree to note that the INTELLI-
GENT voters could not be led astray
by the specious arguments of those
who were opposed to statehood in
any form.
New Mexico will shortly be
state, and no star in the flag will
sine more brightly than that repre-
senting New Mexico, and no state in
the Union will contain more loyal and
prosperous citizens"
The governor was the recipient of
much telegraphic. attention on the
part Of prominent politicians in the
various counties who wired reports
of their precincts and towns.
What MIR. Bursum Says.
A dispatch from Albuquerque
states:
Chairman H.-O. Bursum, of the Re-
publican territorial central commit
tee, who has led the campaign for the
ratification of the constitution in
New Mexico, was in Albuquerque last
night. To say that Mr.. Bursum is
pleased with the result is putting it
mildly. THE majority is even larger
than I expected" said Mr.. Bursum,
though never for a moment had |
any serious doubt of the result. 1t
was simply question of getting the
people who favored the constitution
and who were sure of it's ratification,
aroused to the Importance of casting
their individual votes to swell the to-
tai, and thus convince congress that
the people Of New Mexico almost to
a man really desired statehood" Mr..
Bursum was especially pleased with
the big vote for the constitution in
the Pecos valley, where Chaves rolled
up fifteen hundred and Eddy twelve
hundred majority for the constitu-
ton.
"The ratification of the constitu-
ton in the solidly Democratic coun-
ties by big majorities, and its ratifi-
cation in solidly Republican counties
and in counties divided politically, by
equally large majorities will rob the
opponents of statehood of their last
chance of crying fraud or coercion;
or if they are so welded to their folly,
as to raise the cry, will rob them of
any chance of having themselves TAX
en- seriously in congress or anywhere
else, where reason rules"
According to Mr.. Bursum, Socorro,
his home county, so far as heard
from, has given a majority OF some
500 for the constitution, and it is not
improbable that when the entire vote
is counted, the returns will show
majority of one thousand.
"That the constitution will be ap-
proved by congress and the presi.
dent" said Mr.. Bursum, there is
scarcely shadow of doubt, and it is
quite safe to predict that before the
coming summer is over, New Mexico
will have elected full corps of state
officers, members of the legislature
Sd and county officers"
