PRESIDENT The Guest of New Mexicans Makes Brief Speeches.
By Associated Press.
Deming, N. M., May 6.—Before the train left El Paso the party, including Mexican officials, went for a drive. They were driven to international bridge and at the office of the American customs the President alighted. Interesting buildings on the Mexican side were pointed out to him. President Harrison in 1891 went half way across the bridge, but McKinley today did not so much as set foot on the structure. Shortly after leaving El Paso the train crossed the line into New Mexico and ran through the grazing section of the territory. It was a hot, dusty ride. The first stop in the territory was made at Deming, where the President was welcomed by Governor Otero and his staff. A big crowd and a band was at the station and the President was given a warm greeting.
The address of welcome at Deming was largely devoted to New Mexico's claim for statehood. A broad banner above the train read "New Mexico demands statehood."
The President made a brief speech.
