serious as the bullet passed through the
fleshy part of his leg.
| OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
get it. William H. Andrews, the next
delegate to Congress, is the man who
can do you the most goood." Some of
the local Democratic and Independent
Republicans then came in for little
scoring at the hands of the governor,
but it was handed out in good -humor-
ed way, the kind of smiling sarcasm
that does more good in politics than
the use of invectives and raving de.
nunciations.
Senator Andrews, at the introduction
of the Governor, received an ovation,
such as has been rarely given polit-
ical candidate in Santa Fe. The SEN
ator only made few brief remarks,
put forth in a straightforward business
like manner, style that pleased the
audience. At the close of his address,
prolonged cheering shook the building
to it's foundation. He said that If he
could not do for the Territory what he
had promised, he would resign and
come home. After selection by the
band, Edmund G. Abbott, candidate for
the council for this county, was in
troduced and delivered forceful
speech both on Territorial and local
issues. If the audience at the meeting
was any criterion, Mr.. Abbott will be
the next councilman from this county.
In his introduction of George W..
Prichard, Governor Otero referred to
him as the "silver-tongued orator of
Lincoln County" That the Govern
or did not exaggerate the abilities of
the Lincoln County speaker will be
vouched for by all who were present,
for it does not occur often that San.
ia Fe audience is given an opportunity
to hear an orator like Mr.. Prichard or
listen to an address such as the one
he delivered Saturday evening. In his
eloquent and convincing manner, he
spoke of the issues Of the campaign,
both national and Territorial, in a
way that went straight to the hearts
of his hearers and 1t was good thing
for the Democratic party that the peo-
pie of New Mexico are unable to vote
in the national ELECTION, for it is safe
to say that the speaker would have
made many votes for the Republican
nominee for the Presidency. AS it was,
there is no question but what he made
votes for the nominee for delegate,
who was present.
Mr.. Prichard, in his address, said
that there is no independence in
politics any more than there is in life.
We are all dependent on some one in
all the phases Of life. Any vote cast
for a so-called Independent will be a
vote thrown away. "Do not abandon
the party" he said, "of Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield and Mckinley, because some
man comes along and says he does not
like the governor. No state has been
admitted into the Union for it's extent
of territory, for it's aggregate wealth
or for the superior intelligence of it's
people, but because of the constitu-
tional rights of it's citizens to Ire ad-
mitted. The man whom we have nam
ed to make the fight for us will pre-
sent the matter to Congress on good
business principles and our constitu-
tional rights" His speech was a bril-
liant effort and scintillated with bright
and witty sayings. A number of laugh
able but appropriate anecdotes added
the sauce piquant to the oratorical re-
past and it is vouched for that any
time Mr.. Prichard comes to Santa Fe
to talk on politics or anything else,
he can always fill the house.
It was nearly II o'clock when the
meeting closed, the best one held in
this county during the campaign. 1t
was . grand success, except in one di-
'rection, in which a candidate for 10.
cal county office allowed his personal
feelings to predominate. The meeting
did just what it was intended to do,
show the people what kind of man
the Republicans Of the Territory had
chosen as the next delegate to Con-
gress. and to make votes Tor him.
