WE SHOULD ELECT A REPUB,
LICAN DELEGATE.

the union at y opening OF the
| Sixty-hrst Congress and 1t Is
necessary to elect a republican
delegate in order that the bill TOT
admission meet the approval Ut a
republican congress, SO the issue
confronting us first is the election
OF a delegate, and the election OF q
republican depends upon the Sc.
lection OF the right Mann
Judge Edward \. Mann, OF Ma.
mogordo. Leading republicans
all over the Territory believe Judge
Manu- the strongest candidate
asking tot the republican nomina.
ton; the Governor believes he can
easily win against Larrazolo; and
while he is taking no part in the
campaign, he feels a deep interest
in the selection OF some one who
can win at the polls in November.
The TACT that Andrews Is not q
! strong candidate Tor the nomina.
ton is developing in many sections
OF New Mexico. In San Juan
county the tide has turned against
him, and the arguments that have
been made there that he, and he
alone, was responsible Tor the Ell
forts made to reduce the size OF the
Navajo Indian reservation and to
cause a speedy allotment ot the
reservation lands has topplcd over
OF its own weight, and those who
have been alleging 1t to have re-
suited through Mr. Andrews in.
huence are confronted with the
tact that Gov. Curry is the man to
whom this honor must I've given.
The truth OF this was developed IN
the organization OF a republican
club at Pennington when the friends
OF Andrews made the assertion
that he was solely responsible tor
this legislation. 1t was further dc.
veloped while supporting their can.
didate with this argument that they
intended to organize an Andrews
Club, having in view the lnstruc-
ton OF San Iaun county delegates
Tor Andrews. This precipitated a
disturbance akin TO a riot and
thnty-hye OF the torty.hve rrpuh.
licans assembled, walked out, and
alter converting in another place,
organized a TAFT Republican Club.
So It may be added tina; the nom.
nation OF Andrews would caus. .
split in the republican ~orsaniz.
alton OF San Juan county, which
would result in I majority tor
the democratic party, adding to
the probability oil republican defeat
IN the territory, thus again hazard
Ing our chances OF admission
to the union during the SiXty-hrst
Congress. IL is given out plainly
in San Juan county that the feeling
against Mr.. Andrews is very bitter,
because OF what is believed to have
been his inactivity in several mat.
tiers OF Importance to that people
before the last session OF Congress
in which he is charged with du.
plicity Of political action towards
them.
Now as 10 the situation in Quay
county. The News has no hest.
fancy in saying that it has material.
Is changed since Mr.. Andrews
conduct toward us during the time
Quay county was asking tor a g..
=. Land office ut Tucumcari. We
were disposed AT first TO give him
credit tor this legislation, and we
gave him a very enthusiastic boost
Tor that reason. The situation in
Quay county is pretty we'll explain
ed IN a Tucumcarl dispatch to the
Albuquerque Journal, date OF
July I4th. 1t is in part as iol.
