TAOS COUNTY
FOR ANDREWS
Big Republican Ma.
jority Predicted
in November
APPROVE DELEGATES WORK
Demostenes Martinez, Pro.
minent Citizen of Taos,
Tells of Conditions

Demostenes Martinez, deputy pro
bate clerk of Taos county, and the
younger brother OF Hon. Maliquias
Martinez, one of the most influential
and leading citizens OF the county
came to the city Friday evening on
business. Yesterday he spent in Las
Vegas visiting friends and today he
moved about the city renewing old ac.
quaintenances and making new
friends.
Mr.. Martinez states that conditions
| in Taos county have materially i'm
proved and while there has been but
little rain there has been plenty of
water in the rivers, small streams and
irrigation ditches and hence very good
crops of alfalfa, wheat, oats, corn and
vegetables will be the result. Part of
the fruit in the valley was killed by
the late frosts but very fair crop of
|apples, pears and peaches will be har.
vested.
Big Republican Majority Certain
Politically, Mr.. Martinez is of the
|opinion that Taos will give a larger
Republican majority in November
next than it did in November. 1906,
when the majority for his brother was
the greatest ever given any Republi-
can candidate for the legislative coun-
Gil and when Delegate w. H. Andrews
received the largest majority ever CIV
en- any Republican, candidate for dele
|gate.
This year, according to Mr.. Martinez
who is we'll posted. the Republican
majority in his county will be still
greater as the people are satisfied
with the Republican administration Of
Governor George Curry and with the
splendid work OF Delegate w. H. An
|drews as performed in Congress both
in getting many very important and
beneficial measures passed by Con-
Igress and for helping the people in
securing reductions in grazing fees on
the National Forests, have such kept
down and giving the people better
show in getting permission to herd
|sheep and goats on the National For
Tests.
Delegates Work Appreciated.
There are good many old soldiers
in Taos county who have been benefit
ed by the delegate aiding them in
pushing their pension claims to ap-
proval; there are also many widows
land orphans of veterans in Taos coun-
|ty whose requests have been attended
to promptly and successfully and
whose claims have been pushed more
rapidly than ever was the case hereto
fore. The county administration there
since the Republicans have had hold
Iof it has been honest, economical and
for the benefit of the people.
"We not only have nothing to kick
about said Mr. Martinez, "but quite
the reverse. We are we'll satisfied and
want to continue the present admins
tration and affairs of our country"
r. Romero, farmer and well-todo
citizen, who is also a resident of Taos,
was with Mr.. Martinez. They were
friends and Mr. Romero came to visit
the city of Santa Fe and to become
acquainted here.

securities have decreased IN market
value about $4,000 in the past
year.
The report is particularly inter
esting as it sheds some light on the
character OF Mr.. Rockefelier's in

been a heavy investor in the Gould
