Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1897-03-03

Hon. Martin A.. Sanchez, of San Miguel
is loyal and true to his convictions and ii
with the members who believe that the
capital should remain IN Santa Fe. He
is steady and methodical man, thinks 6
good deal and votes according to his
convictions. He is chairman of one ot
the most important committees of the
house aud is making very good record
Hon. Jose Pablo Sandoval, member
from Guadalupe county, represents his
county with force and ability. He does
the right thing in voting and is very
careful of the interests of his county and
the people. No vote that he has given SO
far in the house has been amiss. He is
making valuable member and he de-
serves the thanks of his constituents. He
stood by the capital.
Hon. John Morrow is making very
good record. Oolfax county ought to be
we'll satisfied with his acts in the assem-
bly,. For years has Ration tried to get
through the legislative assembly meas
ure by which it might obtain the county
seat of Oolfax by fair means and failed.
Mr.. Morrow engineered such a measure
through this session aud it took work,
diplomacy aAd popularity to do it. Mr..
Morrow may well be prouu of his record.
He is all right.
Hon. Juan N. Jaquez, representing San
Juan and Rio Arriba counties in the
house, is one of the able men of that body,
and throughout the session has represent
ed his section of the territory in manner
which reflects credit upon himself, his
constituents and the territory at large. 1t
is men of Mr.. Jaquez' stamp that the
voters of New Mexico will do we'll to trust
IN the future with such responsible posi-
tions, as they may have TO confer as the
reward of unswerving loyalty and high
conception of public trust.
Judge Golfers wish was father to the
thought as will be seen by the following
from the Albuquerque Citizen: "Judge
Collier, who was in Santa Fe yesterday
attending the territorial supreme coart,
has returned, and is very sanguine over
the passage of the capital removal bill.
Nearly everybody up there seems to be
confident of its passage he said this
morning in reply to question. Sixteen
votes are required to pass the bill
through the house, but the friends of the
bill say they have that many votes abso-
lutely pledged, so the prospects for the
passage of ths bill seem very bright" 1t
seems though his honor was mistaken.
Even judges may be off at times. Strange
but true.
Hon. Antonio Ortiz, representative
from Bernalilo county, is straightfor-
ward, courageous and honest man and
member of the house. He voted against
the capital removal bill because he
believed his action right and proper.
He acted from conscientious motives
and because great majority of
his constituents desire no change in the
location of the capital. He knows that
the native people of the territory are, by
a vast majority, greatly attached to Santa
Fe by ties of sentiment, and historical as
sociations and because many of the fore
fathers were natives of Santa Fe and
Santa Fe county. Hence he voted like
man and could not be bulldozed, could
not be cajoled or intimdated into voting
against what he considered right and
just. All honor to Mr.. Ortiz. He de-
serves it.
