Joseph Done?
Stop, Look, Listen
While The Record
Speaks !

During the campaign of two years ago,
between the same candidates which the
two great political parties of this terri
tory have placed before the people i'll this
compression al election, the Democratic
party drew the deadly parallel" between
the two candidates, Hon. Antonio Joseph
and Thomas B Catron, and took its can
didate's cause manfully and confidently
before the people on his record as their
faithful servant during eight years in
congress.
That record, of unusual fertility, car
ried for more than month in upwards
OF twenty newspapers in parallel with
the unusually sterile public record of L.
b. Catron, was continuous challenge
to the opposition, but neither Candidate
Catron Eor his supporters attempted to
deny the record truth-The fertility of
tie one and the sterility of the other.

people OF New Mexico as its candida,
fer delegate TO the House of Represents
tives OF the 54ih congress and respect
fully asks public attention to the splen
did additions he has made to the prouC
record presented two years ago.
During the first session Of the 53d con
grtss to which Mr. Joseph was clcctet
two years ago and which closed its Ions
session during the last days of Angus
past, over 5000 bills were introduced b,
the 3j9 members that constitute The
House OF Representatives. in which a
delegate from Il territory merely has I
seat without a vote. But 200 Of thes
bills became laws. This made m aver
