Las Vegas, N. M. Oct. 6.-(Spe-
ciai.) )-Rousing Republican meetings
were held here yesterday afternoon
and last night and both the meetings
were attended by big crowds from
this city and practically every pre-
cinct in the county. The meeting last
night was held in the Duncan opera
house and the building was crowded,
while number were unable to gain
admittance.
The meetings were addressed by
Delegate w. H. Andrews. Governor
Curry, H. o. Bursum, NJ. A. Otero,
and several local speakers. Hon.
Frank Springer acted as chairman
and in one of the best speeches made
told why he supported Andrews for
delegate to Congress and why the
election OF Republican delegate
meant more for New Mexico than II
would be possible for a Democrat to
secure.
All the people of the territory who
honestly want to see New Mexico
advance should cast their votes this
fall for the Republican candidate -
he said. Politics should be set aside
and the people should stand together
irrespective OF their party affiliations,
to set statehood for New Mexico"
Governor Curry made strong
speech for the Republican candidate
pointing out the reasons why 1t is for
the best interests of New Mexico to
send Republican to Congress.
'If I believed that Larrazolo could
win statehood quicker than Andrews
would be here supporting Larrazolo
This is something We are doing for
ourselves and in voting for Andrews
we are helping New Mexico to be-
come a state. Andrews and state
hood is the only ISSUE"
The meetings yesterday were the
most enthusiastic ever held here and
indicate that San Miguel will this
year give the biggest part OF Its vote
to Andrews.
