A WORD TO TRUE SANTA FEANS.
| Because Of his loyalty to Santa Fe and
Santa Fe county at all times and under
all circumstances Hon. T. B. Catron has
had abuse heaped upon him at the hands
Of some OF the papers and OF certain peo
ole of New Mexico hostile to Santa Fe
for years. In their saner moments they
admit all that is claimed for him, that he
is an able, learned man, an astutt
politician, a successful man, 8
sef.made man, whose interests al
lie in New Mexico; man whose
personal welfare is linked with that of the
masses, but they hate him because his
motto is and ever Santa Fe and Santa
Fe county first, last and all time" Wha
would Santa Fe be to-day but for 7. b
Catron? The best years of his active life
have been spent in furthering the interests
of this community first and New Mexico
in general afterward. He has been loya
to both the county and the
territory. He has worked hard but tC
expend the fruits OF his labors for the ad
vancement of this county and territory
| He is the largest tax payer in Santa FL
county. Aside from his legal profession
he is a miner, builder of modern struct
ures, and in every sense promoter Of
such enterprise as those connected witt
the very foundation of all New Mexico's
rosperity-railroads irrigation canals
electric lights and what not. Is i
right for Santa Feans, then, to Join thei
enemies in the defeat of such man? Al
legislative councilman he will do SAINTS
Fe more good than dozen such men al
his competitor in this campaign. Go tt
the polls tomorrow and do your duty by
yourselves, ny your capital city and by
the richest county on earth in voting fo
T. B. Catron for the legislative council.
