FOR THE TERRITORY

SINCE THE Republican convention Albuquerque there has
been persistent effort the part some of the democratic
leaders and stump speakers nue the personal reputation
Senator Andrews and many false and vicious things have been
said by them the hope of securing votes for the democratic
ddate This the part of the opposition short sight
ed contemplate and help but disgust honest men of
their party without possible show of securing the
votes of others.
The only way conduct successful campaign on the
sues of the day and not by abuse of the candidates of the
other party and the democratic friends learn this the
better it will be for them.
In the present campaign there are few ISSUES which are
of paramount Importance and these the Republican party taken
with determination to push them successful finish and the
people recognize what party working for their interests
New Mexico territory The only thing she do to
ask the United States look after her give
her what she entitled For this purpose she sends her dele
gate and he look after her interests and use his
influence with the members the states who have votes for he
has none to give her what she is entitled to-
There things which the people of New Mexico should
not lose sight of this year. and for which all other considerations
should take secondary position One of these statehood ques
on this hangs the settlement of lands the influx of east
capital and the development of boundess resources The
other and scarcely less important the irrigation question
The permanent Prosperity OF any nation depends more on
the products of the SOIL the agricultural products than on any
other thing and this country these are dependent entirely
the supply for irrigation for without irrigation there
be any Importance aside from the native grasses
which only sufficient to supply grazing for limited number
OF cattle which can never support large population For
years there mas been an effort on the part of strong combination
FL Paso action the part of congress which would
practically appropriate all the of the Rio Grande the largest
in the territory and leave this rch valley desert
That this movement is being conducted seah by the land ring
at the Pass City there question and eternal vigilance is the
only price of security on the part Of our territory
The who represents New Mexico the 59th congress,
should be of affairs who knows the needs Of the terri
tory and the dangers she exposed to- and has ability and
influence with which protect her interests Such man is Sem
ator WILLIAM H. ANDREWS of Albuquerque a man who has
exhibited his personal ability business enterprises which have
brought thousands Of dollars Of capital into territory and has
developed country which few years ago was almost I'M
known into prosperous well settled region Then too the fact
that hes intimate touch with the leading of the dominant
party congress gives him influence which not be under
rated We have desire anything derrogatory of Mr.
Money we believe him to be honest bright Young man
and believe he would do his best for the people he were elected
but we must that Of judgment either party will
think he cannot but the conclusion that the amount
he could do would be little indeed 1t true he has father and
other relatives and friends congress- but they are IN tho
minority side and could do but little for US however good their IN
enons might be- and Mr. Money boy without legislative
experience and the people of New Mexico cannot afford to risk
sending such to congress this year of all years.
We submit the people of Luna county who are tax
and who have business interests protect the men who are %
ing for the advancement of the territory that the risk too
send any but of experience and influence to look after m
interests Washington this winter and that laying aside all marty
predes there other in New Mexico who can or will do
so much as Senator:W. H. Andrews.
