The Citizen Of last evening has the fol-
lowing relative to the remarks of Gov

Rough Riders The governor was
greeted with a round of applause as he
stepped forward to respond. He said,
In part:
Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gentle
MENTIONING to the general rejoicing
throughout the United States over the
results of the recent war with Spain,
which, instead of waning, after some
weeks of indulgence, seems to grow in
intensity with every passing day, the
patriotic managers of this fair have
thought it proper, if not, indeed, neces-
sary, to devote at least m day to gem
eral j%ubilation.'
Referring to the Rough Riders" he
said:
"'They there made a record never be-
fore paralleled, which time itself cannot
efface, and which, however emulated
hereafter, can lever be excelled, and
won undying fame for Roosevelt $
Rough Riders" and for each n of
them who participated in these battles,
a repute which will be cherished by his
remotest descendants
After dwelling upon the heroic deeds
of the Rough Riders in the Santiago

diers' Aid society for what they had
done for the soldiers since the war be-

Colonel Ralph e. Twitchell then &C.
livered an address on "Our Quota" Mr..
Field, in his speech, referred to Mr..
Twitchell as the greatest orator in New
Mexico, and the latter fully proved his
right to the title by the speech which he
made today. Lack Of spa ,e makes it
impossible to publish it in f1ll, but In
part he said:
What cause has New Mexico lor
congratulations? Why are we here to-
lay assembled with hands of welcome
far extended and happy hearts beating
in patriotic fervor? Why do u peopl-
rejoice? The answer is ready on YOU
lips. A few short months ago,
In every heart was own the spark that kin
died fiery war;
And now today.
Our heroes brows are bound with victory's
wreaths,
Their bruised arms hung up for monu
ments."
mo more the drum provokes to arms, OF
tr,lmpet's clans or shrill
Atfrights the mothers. wives, or the virgin
blood can chill. -
white winged peace is ours, and we
shout the paeans of triumph at her jul
bilee.
PROUD as we are of the greatness OF
u country and our people, we still
have occasion to consider the cost OF
glory, the price of u greatness.
CAT some tireside there is a vacant
chair. For those whose hearts blooe

flag, some mother refuses to be comfort
ed. Years will not efface that mothers
grief, and the pleasures of peace are as
naught to her. But the war was no OF
our own making, and the heroes whc
fell will ever be remembered by a CRATE
full country. Their names are deep cut
in the register of immortality, and If
the decades to come will be revered by
a nation which is destined as the power
which shall civilize the world
Referring to Governor Otero he said:
"'All honor, then, to our executive.
All honor to the man IN gave New
Mexico the chance to demonstrate to her
sister commonwealth that In u mids'
we have u population of that stuff of
which heroes are made. All honor to
the man who could gather together In
the brief period allotted to him a bat
TALON whose battle standard is today
the most cheerful emblem OF u peo-
pie. All honor to him, heart and soul,
whose every thought was the welfare OF
the boys who carried that banner to q
glorious victory on the heights of San
Juan and proudly loosed it's folds to f1ut-
ter in the winds that waited the strains
of the Star Spangled Banner at the fall
of Santiago
