We heartily endorse the national ad-
ministratiOn OF William Mckinley, the

William Mckinley 20 be the president OF
| this country, the people were governed
by wise considerations, and their choice
has received the commentator OF
those having the best interests OF the
republic At heart; In the selection OF
Miguel A. Otero TO be- governor OF New
Mexico, President Mckinley acted wisely
and we'll; he chose u governor In whom
the people OF New Mexico have every
confidence, and whose administration OF
public affairs has and will continue to
