The constitutional convention is to have
severity-five delegates to be apportioned
by the Governor, the chief justice and the
Secretary of the Territory from the sever
al counties. Within thirty days after the
President has signed the bill the Govenor
shall issue an election proclamation. The
time to vote on the constitution shall be
fixed by the convention at not less than
sixty days nor more than six months after
the convention has adjourned. The vote on
the separate amendments is to be canvass
ed by the Govenor, and chief justice on
the third Monday after the election. If
the constitution is adopted and found to
be in accordaoce with the United States
constitution and the federal laws by the
President the latter is to issue a proclama
tion within thirty d iys thereafter proclaim
ing New Mexico a state. The state offi
cers, the members of the stats legis'ature
and one Congressman are to be elected on
the same day that the constitution is vot
ed upon. A 'grant of $2, 500,000 in cash

acres of land is granted to the state insti
tutions and public schools.
New Mexico people are flooding the
House with telegrams requesting the con

for New Mexico is splendid.
