RIO ARRIBA COUNTY
FOR w. H. ANDREWS
Republican Voters There Appreciate
Delegates Good Work and Want
Him Returned to Congress.

Manuel Sanchez, well-to-do farm
er and stock raiser at Las Trampas,
Rio Arriba county, spent yesterday
and today in the city on business. Mr..
Sanchez says that the crops in his sec.
ton are in good condition although
it has been very dry. There is
plentiful water supply in the rampas
river and in the bitches for irrigation.
Most of the fruit crop in the Tram.
pas valley has been injured by the
late frosts but there will be a good
crop Of late apples.
Our people, said Mr.. Sanchez
ARE very well satisfied with their
county administration which is hon.
est and fair My very good friend, the
Hon. T. d. Burns, who understands
our conditions, looks carefully after
all matters connected with our county
and helps our officials by good advice
and by setting fine example as tax
payer and as a citizen.
I'VE are also we'll pleased with the
administration Of Governor George
Curry whom we have found to be an
able, energetic and faithful executive.
From conversation with the citi
zens in my section, / find that Dele.
gate Andrews stands very high in
their estimation and our voters, es-
pecially the Republicans, want him
renominated and reelected. They be-
lieve that he has done more for this
territory during the three years he
has been in Congress than all the
other delegates put together and has
secured more favors for our people.
They are especially thankful to him
for having succeeded in tightening and
decreasing the fees for grazing sheep
and goats on the national forests and
for helping many Of our people who
have claims to agricultural lands in
these forests to have their rights and
privileges duly recognized. They al
so feel thankful because he has been
instrumental in securing the privi-
lege of grazing more sheep and live
stock on the national forests.
"There are number of veterans in
our midst who served during the Civil
war and whom he has helped materi.
ally in securing pensions and in hav.
ing such increased; there are also
many widows and orphans of veterans
in our vicinity. These, too, very thank.
full and grateful to him for timely as.
|sistance.
"They have nothing against Mr..
Larrazolo, the Democratic candidate
for delegate, but they do not believe
that his election at this time, would
benefit our people. They have become
convinced that Delegate Andrews is
the right man in the right place to
secure benefits for our territory and
for themselves. They also want state
hood and therefore wish Mr.. Andrews
reelected because they know that Mr..
Larrazolo would not be Of any use to
them in Washington think our coun-
ty will give a very heavy Republican
majority this fall from delegate down
to county surveyor. I fully believe
THAT 1t will be much larger than 1t was
1.-TWO years ago and that Delegate An
l,,o~,, 40 ho ;c +ha candidate will keen
even with the county ticket"
Mr. Sanchez is well posted on con-
ditions in his county, politically, agrl-
culturally, live stock raising and ev-
cry other way and has thorough ac-
quaintance with the people in his Sec
ton. His family has lived there over
1.-TWO hundred years. While serving in
| the House Of Representatives OF the
territorial legislative assembly, he
made a very good record.
