HON. b. 8. RODEY.

From Silver City Enterprise.
The record OF Hon. B. 8. Rodey,
whom the republicans have nominated
as their candidate for delegate to ON
gress, II 30 well known that most peo-
pie of this territory feel well acquainted
with Mr.. Rodey. even although they
have not the pleasure Of his personal
acquaintance.
Mr.. Rodey mas long been one OF the
leading attorneys of New Mexico, and
nearly every lawyer in the territory can
tell of some sure case he has tried, In
which when II went TO the jury he dis
covered that he had everything but the
jury, n that Mr.. Rodey had captured
the one important thing necessary and
had won a signal Victory for mis- client.
II II this. the ability to win cases be-
fore Juries that has made Mr.. Rodey
the strong. formidable opponent that
he IL everywhere recognized to be In
legal circles. Probably no man In this
territory has lost 10 few jury cases as
the republican candidate.
Mr.. Rodey. before coming to Albu-
querque. had read law In the Office of
Hon. Benjamin + Butler, and acquired
sufficient knowledge OF Its technicali-
ties to admit him to enter upon the
practice OF his chosen profession. But
upon arriving at Albuquerque In the
early days, he discovered that his ex-
chequer was short. SO with a stout
heart he entered the service OF the At
lantic h Pacific railroad company and
held "a clerical position In the general
afHgaa - tho ,afnpanx far .., .t,,.
and until he had accumulated enough
funds to Justify him In opening a law
office. From the first he commanded
the respect of the legal fraternity and
won golden opinions from his clients.
Il o but a very short time to carry
him into the front ranks among the
successful practitioners OF the territory
a position which his ability enables
him to maintain with ease.
In politics Mr.. Rodey has always
been a staunch republican. Early I'm
his career his political %inclinations lead
him into the political arena to do bat
tie for his political convictions. His
ability as a public speaker soon gave
him q leading position In the ranks OF
his party. and In 1889 he was honored
1 Wy NV honiuiation lot vie ttTTllDIlhl
council, His election by a large ma
jority resulted. and he was one Of the
leading spirits OF the senate during the
succeeding term. He had previously
been a member OF the constitutional
convention. selected to frame a consti-
tuition for what was then expected to
soon become the state of New Mexico.
His experience acquired while a men,
Der of the constitutional convention.
served to give him a keener insight In
to his legislative duties. and his opin-
Ions came to be recognized as entitled
to great weight on all legal and con-
s~titutional questions coming before
that body. We will not here refer to
any OF the particular acts with which
the name OF Mr.. Rodey became init
mately associated. suffice It for the
present to say that no member OF that
legislative body exerted greater In
huence for the welfare OF the people
and the good OF the entire territory.
The nomination OF Mr.. Rodey by the
republican convention assures his
election as delegate to congress. In nd
dition to the fact hat this is n repub-
lican rear. the well-known fitness OF
Mr.. Rodey for this position will COM
mand for him many votes outside the
ranks of the republican party. As a
representative OF the interests of New
Mexico. Mr.. Rodey viii command at
t%ention and respect OF that distinguish
ed body OF men.
When the votes are counted on the
9Th day OF November next, the repub-
/ iRan halaQnfa uIl no found 10 ha,,a
been elected by one OF the largest ma
J%orities ever given to any successful
candidate In his territory. and New
Mexico not only will have a congress-
man who will do her good. but will
have one OF whom she may well feel
proud.
