was very glad indeed to be once more
at home and among the people with
whom he had been associated and in
whose midst he had lived for over
twenty-five years and who had hon.
ored him repeatedly with election to
important offices, and by whom he
believed he would be honestly
and sincerely supported in Civ
ing New Mexico an efficient, clean
and successful administration. He
understood many of the responsible
ties and duties of the Office for which
