llC ONGl luC OutCOlC vi tiiC IlP uo was
Governor Curry. you cannot imagine
what an intense interest the people
of that part of the territory are taking
in the present campaign and the is
sues on which it is being fought he
said to a representative of the New
Mexican. 81 never saw such unre.
strained enthusiasm as was manifest
ed in the continuous ovation which
was accorded to Delegate Andrews and
his party during the trip. We visited
Las Vegas, Mora, Sape.lo, Watrous
Wagon Mound, Springer, Ration, Gin.
arron and other places, and every
where the people were wild in their
demonstration of welcome.
At Mora there was procession of
people that extended over mile and
a half, which came out to the town linn
it's to meet us and escort us to the
place of meeting. Three hundred
horsemen, handsomely mounted with
several hundred school children and
men and women were in line, and a
float was provided on which Governor
Curry and Delegate Andrews rode in
to town. Needless to say there was an
overflow meeting at the court house.
Miss Kelly, of Mora, dressed in white,
delivered an address of welcome, and
this interest Of everyone, men, women
and children, can be taken as indica.
ton of how the election is going to
result in Mora.
Open Air Meetings Necessary.
"At Cimarron we couldn't find a hall
big enough to accommodate the crowd
of 1900 or more men who attended
the meeting and we were accordingly
forced to go out into the open air to
make the speeches.
"At Wagon Mound and other places,
where only one meeting had been
scheduled, so many people presented
themselves for admission that we
were compelled to hold two meetings
in order that all who wished to hear
the speakers discuss the campaign IS
sues, might do so. A torch light pro-
cession and barbecue at Cimarron,
made the day of our appearance there
a continuous holiday and the people
gave themselves over to merrymaking
Democrats For Andrews
II know that several thousand Dem
ocrats in Union, Quay, Mora, San Mi
guel and Colfax counties who voted
for o. A. Larrazolo two years ago
will this year cast their ballots fol
Delegate Andrews, and help return
him to Congress by handsome ma
jority and the same condition prevails
all over New Mexico AS Governor
Curry said, the. intelligent people o
the territory realize that statehood /.
impossible unless Delegate Andrews il
reelected and they are casting all 9th
er issues to the winds and are com
| ing out strongly in favor of Delegate
Andrews as the only man who can sc
cure for them their great ambition.
Party lines will be too weak t.
hold them and they will come owe
in great numbers on November thirt
; and vote for statehood.
Delegate Andrews himself, has a
SO spoken at Des Moines, Folsom
Clayton and Saturday night at Mar
:. Visa, where he received a great ov;
tion, and the outlook in that part (
: the territory is that the Republican
:, will carry the election by one Of tn
largest maiorities ever recorded in til
! territory.
Great Credit Due Speakers.

! from the counties which we visite

cessity Of voting for Andrews if the

2 The campaign is nearing its clio.
now, and you may say for me, th

81 Chairman Bursum said that viii
\ they had hard work, none of the par
felt any worse for the trip, and th

s stood the strain very we'll.
