Candidate for Representative.

BY action of the Democrat conven-
ton the nomination for representative
was given to man who we are proud
to present to the voters of San Juan
county. No man has done more for
the up building of our county than
VIM. A. Hunter. No man will in the
future do mora than he. While Mr..
Hunter did not favor a distribution OF
the county Offices between the Demo.
crat and Republican parties, he was
willing to endorse the principle ''let
the majority rule" Mr.. Hunter is
well qualified for the Office to which
he aspires, and we are sure that il
elected he will have the interests ol
our county foremost In his mind, and
do all in his power to further any ad
vantegeous measure. Let us all sup
port and vote for him
