A special correspondent OF the New
Mexican gives the following concern
ing the rally and ratification meeting
held in Las Vegas Thursday night OF
this week:
Senator William. H. Andrews, Repub-
lican candidate for delegate to con-
gress, invaded George P. Moneys
home county Thursday in one OF the
most rousing mass meetings ever held
in this section of the country.
Twenty-Five hundred citizens OF Las
Vegas gathered in the west side court
house on that evening and packed the
room almost to suffocation. Mr.. Mon
ey undoubtedly has many loyal sup
porters in his own city, but the rally
was purely Republican, showing con-
clusively that San Miguel will be for
Senator Andrews when the votes are
counted the night of November 9Th.
Governor Otero was unable to be-
present, having been called back TO-
Santa Fe by the news Of the death OF
his friend and official advisor, Solicitor
General E. L. Bartlett. The balance OF
the party entered carriages from the
private car at o'clock and with the
Santa Fe band heading the procession,
proceeded to the place of meeting.
Several hundreds formed In line be.
hind the carriages as an escort OF honor
to Senator Andrews.
When the court house was reached
the room was found SO crowded that
it was necessary to clear passage
way before the platform could pc

arrival of the campaigning party that
Mora could not be visited owing to the
impassable condition of the roads, mao

Everybody was in the best Of humor,
no one failing to participate in the con
tinuous ovations rendered the candl
