Show The Reason Why The New York Press had some nasty things to say regard to New Mexico Arizona and Utah which it perceives cannot much longer be kept out of the Union It reels off the old yarns about ignorant Mexicans Indian population and Mormon polygamy and says The territories the Democracy propose to admit ad-mit are not now and will not be for many years to come fit to enter the sisterhood of states Is it possible that a paper like the Press published in enlightened and cosmopolitan cosmopoli-tan Gotham does not know that all these alleged disqualifications are things of the past We suspect the Press is quite aware of that fact but has some ulterior motive in thus declaring against the territories ter-ritories waiting to ba made free If these territories were only proposed to be admitted by Republicans how different dif-ferent they would appear in the light of Republican journalism They would be all right in every respect Wyoming with about a third of the population of New Mexico and far less than that of Arizona could go in Mormons woman suffrage and everything else Why Be cause it was to be a Republican state thats all The Press talks of Utahs thousands of stolid dupes Its editor Ought to come here and see the intelligence of the people and their interest in political questions ques-tions He would find out what a prominent prom-inent Gentile who ha visited a large portion por-tion of the territory has recently discovered discov-ered that the masses ol the people know more about their political rights and are better prepared to maintain them as a rule than an equal number people are taken in bulk in any state or territory of the Union The Press is afraid of more Democratic Senators That what is the matter with it and the party whose policy it represents |
