THE WHITE CAP BUSINESS.

We do not believe that the law. abiding
citizens Of San Miguel county will ialter
at the polls on November Hhenit comes
to casting their ballots for or against
White Cap methods. They can not afford
it; as blood is thicker than wate-, 80 the
interests OF ones home, of his Preside
happiness and Of his personal pocket, is
greater than ones political beliefs. 1t is
not question over there Of maintaining
the dignity OF labor every honest man
respects labor, but In this case there is
nothing in the claim OF tho White Cap
party that they represent the laborers of
the county. 1t is shame and a disgrace
that such lot of political agitators and
otfice-seeking sharks should set them
selves up as the representatives OF honest
labor. Out on such nonsense. 1t is life
and death struggle, pure and simple, in
San Miguel county, in Santa Fe county
and in Mora county this time and every
mothers son of the gang that is working
this White Cap racket in San Miguel, in
Santa Fe, and in Mora county, ought to
be by honest votes buried out of sight.
Are the people of San Miguel county, of
Santa Fe county, OF Mora county, equal to
the emergency? The New MEXICAN be-
lieves they are.

BENJAMIN NJ, READ.

One of the candidates for member OF the
lower house of the coming legislative as
sembly upon the Republican ticket is Mr..
Benjamin NJ. Read, OF this city.
He is native citizen of New Mexico,
and was educated in st. Michael'sscollege,
Santa Fe. In 1869 he WAS brakeman
on the X. P. r. r., east of Denver, and
In 1870 acted as conductor. In 1871 he
was appointed interpreter and translator
to Gov. Marsh Giddings, which position
he held for four years. In 1875 he was
employed as teacher in St. Michael g
college and was after that the principal of
our city public schools up to 1880. In
1881 he was appointed by Gov. Sheldon
interpreter and translator Of the executive
office of the territory, which position he
held for several years In addition to this
last employment, he was in 1882 appointed
translator OF the house of representatives.
In 1884 he was elected unanimously
chief clerk OF the legislative council.
In 1885 he passed very creditable ex-
animation for the bar, having studied law
for that purpose for three years and was
admitted to practice, Since then he has
practiced his profession here successfully
and creditably.
Mr.. Read is we'll known to our people !;
he is a man Of probity, integrity, energy
and hard worker; he is good speaker
and possesses a great deal OF information
on public matters; he is intimately &C.
quainted with our needs and wants and
is staunch friend and supporter of free
American public schools. If elected and
We think, he will be, rs all good citizens
regardless OF party can we'll afford to vote
for him, he will make valuable, ener-
getic, honest and handwriting member
Of the legislative assembly and will be
found to be true friend to Santa Fe
county particularly. 1t will be credita-
BILE and beneficial thing for this county to
elect him as one OF its representatives in
the Goth legislative assembly.

THE circular dodge does not work well
and the Democratic executive committee
is not sending out quite as many circulars
as it did; the funniest OF these was a
double set; one in the English language
assuring voters, that if elected Joseph
would do his utmost to have the Stewart
bill passed and make this an English
speaking territory, the other one in the
Spanish language addressed to the Span.
ish speaking voters, asserting that NJ. s.
Otero had the Stewart bill introduced,
that if elected he, Otero, would work to
disfranchise the native people and have
the Stewart bill passed, and that only Jo-
seph's election could prevent that, and
calling upon the Spanish speaking voters,
by everything that was holy, to vote for
Joseph, the just. The game 10 proving
too thin, too utterly thin, and the Demo
cratic executive committee is not sending
out as many Of those circulars as it did a
few days ago.
