welt.
What need Of my telling you of the
mighty deeds OF this great leader OF
the nation that have stirred not only
Europe, but also the Orient. BE it as
a peacemaker among nations; as a
protector Of American republics; as
a builder Of N oceanic canal: as a
trust buster OF as a constructive
statesman, be has no peer amonG
living men and time is writing his
achievements large upon the pages 81
history. As 4 tried and true friend Of
New Mexico, as a man especially near
and dear to us, we. who knew him be
fore the highest homes had come q
him, We Ill respect him and most d
us, veal hope all Of us, love him.
&c Is true, he has been misrepre'
scented even by this territory, but
what man In public Life Ia not?, lie,
me tell you from my limited personal
knowledge that there Il no man in the
national capital who has had or who
does have so near to heart the welfare
of this commonwealth az Theodore
Roosevelt and who understands Its
needs so WELL. He has planned for its
future as a father plans for his child
rem, he has helped more than any
other III 10 make the generous pro
visions for the great state Of which
he hopes to see New Mexico the prtnt
cipal part, and in this as In all othei
things tie father 10 even more far
seeing than the children. No matter
how some may disagree with hi
plans, no one dare tell ME that tht
president Is not honest in his friend
ship for New Mexico and does no,
seek 70 further It's best Interests.
