Vote for Principles in New Mexico constitutional choice
A 1910 editorial urges voters to back Democratic principles in the upcoming constitutional convention. It argues direct legislation and people power are at stake, contrasts Democratic unity with Republican divisions, and calls for electing Democratic delegates to control the convention. The proclamation sets polling places for Chaves County on September 6, 1910, for four delegates.
