The La Junta Democrat last week
made the charge that Senator Swlnk was
not the friend OF the laboring man. The
editor of tho Democrat has recently ar
rived in Otero county, which fact may
account for statement SO utterly with
out foundation. Those who have known
Senator Swipk for term of years testify
to the fact that laboring men and mon
with limited means have always found
in him friend who was ever ready to
give them substantial aid. Senator
Swink is not only the friend OF the labor
ing man, but is n laboring man himself.
An eastern manufacturer who has

to ask them to buy, Knowing that they
have no money and get no surplus for

hope; no relief. The free coinage of sd

major took a walk, finally landing at the
home of his mother in time for tea, where
a portion Of the evening was spent. The
express wagons made their usual trips to
the house, unloading several turkeys, a
large box of game from some Western adj
mirer and a huge arm chair from a Cana

the doors of the study. There were not
