Evidently the notices were not re

board met and organized. Commits

WHAT STATEHOOD MEANS TO US.

Probably few people take the time to realize what
statehood really means the people of New Mexico which
has so long been governed by Federal authority For
half century the struggle for freedom has been going on
and now we are about to hear the shouts victory as
bright new star goes upon the flag OF our country.
It means we are to govern ourselves as free and in
tegent people electing our own state officers and having
a voice in affairs at the National Capitol
It means that people who have been afraid of Terri
ora Government will be afraid no longer and that the
grand new state will be made the home of thousands OF
people who long to come to the land of sunshine but who
have been loath to give up full citizenship.
It means shat millions of capital will seek profitable
investment here and that peace plenty and prosperity will
be our portion.
