COLONEL TWITCHELL'S ADDRESS.
Col. r. e. Twitchell was the last
sneaker Of the evening, and again
proved his power as a peerless cam
paign speaker, a student of statistics
and political conditions as they apply
to New Mexico in particular. He dwelt
upon the object lesson which the two
preceding administrations have furni-
shed the nation. He told of the power
Of organization. how the Hammer and
Tongs club at Las Vegas has now
membership of 470 Republican voters, or
three times as many as Republican
votes We're cast at Las Vegas four years
ago. Mr.. Twitchell drew a comparison
New Mexico territorial and municipal
bonds went begging below par, and
now, when they bring premium, and
investors are so eager to get them that
in Las Vegas they brought suit at law
to force the delivery to them, at above
par, Of per cent bonds recently issued
by the board of education of East Las
Vegas. He told of the gloomy prophe
cies that Col. w. J. Bryan made at the
Santa Fe court house four years ago,
within his hearing, and that none Of
these prophecies had come true. The
bank deposits in New Mexico to-day
amount to over $5,OO00O0, of which the
poor man has deposited $1,250,0O0, or
more than the business men Of the ter
"itory, and the women had $250,O00 on
deposits. The deposits per head of fam
lily in New Mexico are larger than in
my state of the Union, New York ex-
,epted. This was not brought about by
nance, but by the policies inaugurated
md carried out by the Republican par
". In conclusion, Mr.. Twitchell told of
he immense amount of capital brought
nto the territory this year for the de-
velopment of mines, and that despite
he prophecies of Mr.. Bryan, more men
Ire employed in its mines and more
money is made by its miners than ever
before in the history of New Mexico.
