among Democrats and we believe he. hes

territory.-Springer Banner.

has been employed to supply music fol
the occasion and there will be fireworks
and bright lights interspersed with
speeches by Hon. A. L. Branch, N. B

Hon. E. L. Hall, of Grant county, who

last assembly, is candidate for U. S
marshal of New Mexico. He has been
strongly endorsed for the position local
| ly, and has brother who is member OF
congress from Missouri. Senator Vest

candidacy--he is honest and will endeavol
to do what is right if appointed.
The position that is now being sought
for ex-Judge W. H. Brinker is not re-
appointment, but the appointment as the
| U. s. attorney for the court of private

back to sunny New Mexico. The place
he seeks is right good one. 1t is under

committees; his strongest friend seems to
be Hon. w. B. Childers, of Albuq uerque.
The New MEXICAN is also informed that
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, will help
toward securing the appointment for
Judge Brinker.

addition to Jose l.. Lopez, of Las Vegas,
the following named are candidates for
the position of superintendent: John R.
DeMier, the present incumbent; E. H.
Bergman, formerly superintendent, and
DR.. R. H. Longwill. Thus far R. L. Baca
and P. j. Barber, the present incumbent,
are the, only candidates for the position
of assistant superintendent.
The Deming Correspondent of the 81
Paso Times writes: CATER the Colorado
legislators returned to Denver they passed
resolution of thanks to the people. of
New Mexico for their kindly h ospitality.
There was nothing out of ordinary in this,
had the Colorado solons not added a reso-
luton advocating statehood for New
Mexico. Their intentions were undoubt-
eddy good, but it would have been better
to inquire into the sentiments of the
residents of the territory before taking
such step. The people of New Mexico
do not want statehood under existing
conditions, and vote on the question
would result in utter defeat of such a
proposition. When conditions are
changed statehood will be accepted by
the voters of the territory, but not until
then"
