For the first time In the history OF
the territory the republican press is
solidly united in support OF the repub-
lican nominee for congress. Here are
a few of the hearty Communications:
4 New Mexican: Hon. b. 8. Rodey
stands square and fair for statehood.
He believes sincerely that the people
' OF New Mexico are entitled to their
birthright of freedom, which has been
denied them for fifty wears; he believes
that New Mexico IL more than a colony
and that its people are entitled TO ev-
cry right and privilege that the consti-
tuition OF the United states grants to
| every citizen OF the states. 1t Is time
that New Mexico be no longer regarded
az a foreign country. but as a part OF
the great and glorious United States.
Bernard g. Rodey Is a self-made man
of unblemished character and liberal
attachments. His nomination by the
republicans will prove very wise, as

elected.
