Gen. Hobart made an entertaining talk
OF ten minutes, spoke of the earnestness
of the members OF the convention as ex-
emplitied by their works, and compared
their methods with those of the Demo
cratic party which doesn't know where it
stands on the statehood question; in fact,
is at sea on all the public questions of the
day. The speaker spoke of the benefits
of statehood OF the needs OF New Mexico
to have stronger representation at Wash
lngton two senators more will bring the
center of government that much further
west, said the speaker, and New Mexico
must supply these two senators. Said
the speaker: "Vote for state at the
October election and vote for Republi
can at the Nobember election and place
New Mexico in the front rank OF pro-
gress." There were frequent applause
during Gen. Hobart's remarks, and when
he incidentally mentioned the name Of
Hon. NJ. S. Otero it was followed by an
enthusiastic cheer.

to indorse Joseph for delegate to congress.
