congress were unable to secure ent

Mr.. Money is not an orator, but he
is an interesting speaker, and held
the close attention of his large aud
ience throughout his address, His
speech was a discussion, plain and
| frank, of Territorial conditions. He
convinced his hearers of the honesty
of his purpose, his understanding of
| local conditions, and his ability to
ably represent the Territory in the
halls of congress. His speech will
add to the majority which Chaves
county. will give him tomorrow.
Hon. G. A. Richardson presided at
the meeting and introduced the spea-
ker. In his speech, Mr.. Richardson
held up to ridicule the business
meeting" of Saturday the week be-
fore He showed the Righteousness
of the promises of "Bull'' Andrews
to build railroads, construct dams,
and bore artesian wells. He express
ed his contempt for the disreputable
Albuquerque convention, and in intro
ducing Mr.. Money said: "On the eve
of this holy day of God, it is a fit
ting time to consecrate ourselves TO
the work of next Tuesday,
Mr.. Money on being introduced ex-
pressed his pleasure at being able
to at last keep his Roswell appoint
ment He Immediately plunged into
a discussion of Territorial condi-
tions. All through his talk there
were sparkling bits of wit, good sto
ries and amusing anecdotes. which
kept his audience in the best of hui
NOR. AS a delegate had no vote in
congress, he did not discuss national
issues. In our own Territory he con
sidered our Infamous jury law, and
that system which makes the trial
judge also a member of the Supreme
Court to pass upon appeals especially
obnoxious. He said that if elected
he intended to introduce a bill estab-
fishing separate court of appeal in
New Mexico, and he expressed the
belief that no one would appreciate
this legislation more than the bar of
New Mexico, and the present judges
of the supreme court who are now
overwhelmed. He also intended to
introduce a bill which would prevent
the Governor of the Territory from
appointing any member of the legis-
lature to any Office during the term
of such member, because he believed
that the three coordinate branches
on which this government is founded
should be maintained free and indie
pendent, one of the other For when
one trespasses on the jurisdiction of
the other, it is destructive of the syS-
tenn of government which was secur
ed and adopted after great cost in
blood and money.
He scored various district attorn-
eys for using their offices for politi-
cal ends, and also the Governor for
his declaration that he would not
pardon anyone who did not have the

ton by Roosevelt's own words he
showed the duplicity of the Presid-
ent, and how with this as with other
issues he has reversed himself
Then he took up Andrews cam
paign, and the absurd promises he
is making to every community in
which he speaks. He referred to the
means Otero and Andrews used to
defeat Rodey at the Albuquerque con-
vention So open and patent was the
bribery, that in open convention the
chairman of the Republican commit

as they cast their votes for Andrews,
