Octaviano A. Larrazolo, Democratic
candidate for delegate to the Sixty
first Congress, was the principal speak.
er at the meeting Of the "unterrified''
Democracy last night. The speaking
took place in the hall of the house OF
representatives at the capitol and ev'
cry seat in the large hall and one-half
Of the seating capacity in the galleries
was occupied.
Hon. Charles F. Easley, presided ov.
er the meeting and gave a fifteen-m n.
ute talk, in which he praised the mo
BILE Spaniard" up to the heavens and
predicted that Larrazolo would be
elected this fall by a majority of at
least five thousand votes.
Bryan Supporter Talks.
Judge N. B. Laughlin was the next
speaker and expounded the doctrines
of the Peerless Nebraskan," William
Jennings Bryan, and advocated the
cause of Larrazolo for about thirty
minutes. Judge Laughlin also charged
the Republican territorial government
with rascality and said that the terri.
torial penitentiary was common
boarding house for Republican politi.
clans from all sections and corners of
this territory. The Judge said that dur.
ing Republican conventions and legis
lative sessions all the politicians Of the
Republican faith flock to the peniten
tiary to receive free board. This vete.
ran Democratic politician and prospec
tice governor of the territory in case
Bryan is elected was followed by the
speaker Of the evening, the Noble
Spaniard," Octaviano A. Larrazo'o.
When Larrazolo took the platform
there was some very weak hand clap
ping and shouting. Nothing more could
have been expected as most Of the aud
ience, especially the men Of voting age,
seemed to be tagged with Taft and
Sherman buttons and wore w. H. An.
drews watch fobs.
Appeals to Race Prejudice.
Candidate Larrazola spoke for about
an hour and a half. His voice was weak
on account Of constant speaking for
the last two months. He looked wor.
ried and worn out; his hair is turning
gray fast. The strenuous campaign
seems to be telling on his noble per
sonality. He is growing old with worry.
The main portion of Larrazolo's ad
dress was devoted to the statehood
question, alleged election frauds, roast
ing the New Mexican and Colonel Max
Frost. Regarding the statehood issue
he claimed that Delegate Andrews
would never be able to get that boon,
but that If the people Of New Mexico
wanted statehood they had better send
a Mexican, like he, Larrazolo, to Con
gress. He said the people in the East
had an erroneous idea that the Mexi.
cans are not educated, lack the intel
lectuality, ETC., to govern themselves,
but that If he was elected and sent to
the National Capital as an example,
to show Congress and the high.
toned Fasteners how highly ed.
ucated, ETC., the Mexicans really are,
statehood would be sure to come. The
words used with emphasis by the
speaker were that Nobody but Mex
lean can get statehood for New Mexi
co."
Whines About Alleged Election Frauds
He charged that the Republicans in
Valencia county voted the grave yards
two years ago for Andrews. He also
spoke at length Of the ellAged election
frauds two years ago in Colfax coun
ty.
All In all his speech was similar to
the speeches that he has delivered in
other parts Of the territory during the
past two months and extracts Of which
have been published In the columns Of
this newspaper on and on.
This morning Candidate Larrazolo
left for the south and spoke at Lamy
at 8 o'clock and at Galisteo at noon.
He then left for Albuuerue from which
place he will 60 to Grant county.
