The Republicans of the territory have
only themselves to blame if all the judges
for New Mexico are appointed from out
side the territory. In this district there
was no unity in favor of home candidates,
and the leading Republicans of the dis
trict Endorsed an eastern man for the
Observation-Disclosures Citizen.
Just SO! In the First district it is not
80 bad. Nearly all the members of the
bar and leading Republicans and many
prominent citizens as we'll as many mem
bers of the Republican territorial COM

Edward L. Bartlett for the position of
Judge of this district. General Bartlett

SEVERAL local statesmen now claim that
they we're instrumental in having Mr..
Jonathan W. Crumpacker of Indiana,
appointed a member of the Territorial
Supreme court. This story is about as
true as were their stories last May and
June when they were appointing COVER
nors and other officials for the territory
The truth of the matter is that Mr.. Mo
Kinley made the appointment upon the
recommendation of Senator Fairbanks.
and that no New Mexico statesman, big
or little, had anything to do with it.
