Last week the News again
played the game of "scoop'' on a
number of its contemporaries, not
only among the weeklies, but in
cluding several of the dailies.
Soon after two o'clock Friday
afternoon readers of the News
in Estancia had the whole of the
Statehood Bill in their hands.
The Tribune-Citizen of Albuquer
que was the only daily, to appear
in Estancia containing the bill
previous to that time, and not a
single weekly had as yet shown
it. In fact, no other paper in the
county has as yet shown up with
the bill, matter of news in which
i .. (. ..1
our peopiu are vuany nucic-bicu.
As a result copies of the News
have been in demand in various
towns in the county. It is merely
a matter of repetition of the fact,
"to get the News, you must read
the News.'' The News publishes
more news wnile it is news than
any other paper in tne county.
In connection herewith we de
sire to express our gratitude to
the Tribune-Citizen, whose
friendly assistance made possible
our scoop. Muchas gracias, ami
gos. Constitutional Convention
Candidates for membership in
the Constitutional Convention
are looming up as thick as bees
around an alfalfa plant, several
of them pressing their claims as
strenuously as if their very life
depended on their election, The
average man seeking the oiiiec,
especially at the amazing returns
of five dollars ' per day, is not
looking toward the good he can
do, but to some motive behind
this. We are not in favor o f
sending to the convention anyone
who proclaims that he is for par
ty first and people afterward.
