WHAT HAS DELEGATE +
JOSEPH DONE f?
Stop, Look, Listen While the
Record Speaks.

Daring the campaign OF tw
years ago. between the same candl
dates which the two great polihcs
parties of this territory have place
before the people in this congre'
sional election, the Democrat
party drew the deadly parallel
between the two candidates, Hor
| Antonio Joseph and Thomas l
Catron, and took its candidate
cause manfully and confidentl
before ahe people on his record a
their faithful servant during eIgh
years in congress.
That record, of unusual fertility
carried for more than a month il
upwards of twenty newspapers IL
parallel with the unusually sterll
public record of T. b. Catren, wa
| a continuous challenge to the op
position, but neither Candidate
Ca,ron nor his supporters attempt
| ed to deny the record truth The
fertility of the one and sterillty o'
the other.
An intelligent and discrlminat-
ing constituency saw the parallel
appreciated and approved the
campaign of education thereon and
reelected Delegate Joseph on his
record.
The Democratic party again and
with increased confidence presents
him to the people of New Mexico
as its candidate for delegate to the
House of Representatives OF the
54th congress and respectfully asks
public attention to the splendid
additions he has made 10 the proud
record presented two years ago,
During the first session OF the
SD congress, to which Mr.. Joseph
was elected two years ago, and
which closed its long session DUR
the last days of August past, over
5000 bills were introduced by the
35S members that constitute the
House OF Rapres sntatiyes, In
which a delegate from territory
merely has a seat without vote.
Butt 1920 of these bills became
laws. This made an average OF
three and one-half bills passed to
each Of the 358 members. Dele
gate Joseph passed ten of these,
thus securing about three times the
average OF a full fedged member
who has a vote with which to work
and on which to trade.
Think on it, men Of New Mexicol
Your poor, weak, voteless delegate,
representing people aspersed and
insulted iu the halls OF congress
by Infamous minority reports" at
the hands of the Republican party,
and denied by Republican
leaders even the credit OK
for the rishts
and dignities of full citizenship
and measurable self government
under statehood this voteless
delegate, standing in congress for
a people that had been discredited
hy Republican aspersion, instead
of aid, during the many years OF
that psrty's ascendency IN the
national government, has been
able. by dint of his sheer devotion
to duty, 10 outstrip the prondest Of
them who are accredited as the
orators add statesmen OF congres
sional halls and whose fame rests
rather upon their ability to win the
applause of the galleries than upon
iscessant aud fruitful ploddlng
and proddipg in committee rooms
aud in departmental routine,
where Delegate Joseph's so secure
" rests.
Let US look somewhat in detail
st these late additions 10 his uni
iorm record.
