The Republican party in the United States can not possibly object to the admission of New Mexico on party grounds. You say. "Dakota does not urge her case because she has thousands of Sioux (Indians) within her borders whom she does not count. but because she has. over onehalf million of Americans. Montana and Washington do not include or base their claim upon their Indian population. but upon their American and white inhabitants. it is not right that New Mexico should enumerate her ignorant. mongrel. foreignspeaking Greasers in order to qualify on a representative basis for admission." In your issue of December 20 you say: "Much time must elapse before this dense mass of SpanishAztec (Aztec means the Pueblo Indian) alien ignorance and superstition can be sufficiently Infused with intelligence by the operation of immigration to entitle New Mexico to such an honor. To couple the weak. stagnant. mentally childish. unproductive rubbish population with the enterprising. energetic. industrious. and rapidlyincreasing population of the magnificent Dakotas. and make the admission of the latter dependent upon that of the wretched. imbecile character of the former. or to demand their admission at the same time. is not only ridiculous but insulting." New Mexico does not count the wild or Pueblo (called Aztec) Indians in her population. They are not taxed and are by law prohibited from voting.
