ly in carriages and buggies and about

ty speech and told the people that he
was there to visit them, that they re-
sided in one of the most fertile and
beautiful spots in the territory, that
prosperity abounded and that he hoped
were he to be re-nominated and re-
elected, to do some good for the Mora
valley which deserves special atten
tion in the matter of agricultural de-
velopment and investigation of agricul.
ture and horticulture. He thought that
this would be splendid place for an
agricultural experiment station and
the Mora Valley had the reputation of
being one of the most fruitful sections
of the territory and as from his per.
sonal examination now he knew this
was the case.
Thereafter the meeting was ad-
journed and the delegate spent the
rest Of the day in Mora in social in
tercourse with its citizens where he
became very well acquainted.
Wednesday morning the delegate
drove overland to Las Vegas and en-
route visited all the settlements along
the Mora-Las Vegas route. In each
of these he was very cordially and
pleasantly received and made many
acquaintances. People all over seem
ed to know him, evidently from his
likeness published In the papers with
many favorable articles concerning
him which have appeared recently in
the papers in northern New Mexico,
every editor of the Spanish papers in
that section being in favor Of his re-
nomination and reelection.
In the Race to Win.
Yesterday the delegate returned to
this city and this morning left for
TERRA Amarillo to visit the towns in
Rio Arriba county. He felt very good
and when asked what political signifl-
canoe his trip to San Miguel and Mora
had, he sifply smiled and said "The
future will show l am pleased to
say to you that am in the fight for
nomination as the candidate for dele
gate Of the Republican party to the
Sixty.first Congress-, l will stay in
it to the very last I am pleased with
the situation so far and there Is no
reason or cause for me to have any
thing but favorable expectations. AS
far as other candidates are concerned,
I have nothing to say Any Republi-
can who is competent, has a perfect
right to be candidate. I have not
word to say against any candidate
so far mentioned. Personally they
have my best wishes. From polite
al standpoint believe, and say this,
I hope, without egotism or vain-glori-
GUS ideas, that my services to the peo-
pie and to the party during the past
three years entitle me to favorable
consideration at the hands Of the Re-
publicans of New Mexico"
