third judicial court of New Mexico
at Las Cruces and received the pa
pers which admitted him to full

soldier was overcome with emotion
when Federal Judge Frank w. Par

the fact that he was the first Boer
to become an American citizen. With
tears streaming down his bronzed
cheeks Niliccn made those about
him a stirring little speech. in which
he declared that for seven years he

Elect Humphrey

On the basis of his record in con-
Dress during the last eight years the
Hon. William E. Humphrey, of this
district, ought to be returned says
the Seattle Post Intelligencer in its
issue of last Sunday. That paper
further says:
cit doesn't make great deal OF
difference what may or what may
not happen in other parts OF the
country in the coming election the
hest interests of Seattle and King
county, and of every other county
and community in this congressional
district will be best served at this
time by keeping Mr.. Humphrey IN
the national house Of representatives.
Faithful, alert, aggressive in be-
half of his own district and his own
state: understanding the particular
and pressing needs of his own con-
stituency; understanding, too, the
problems which are of special con-
Germ to this section, and knowing
how to secure what we ought to
have, and how to keep congress from
forcing upon the people of this state
legislation which might be disas-
trous to the material interests of
the state. Mr.. Humphrey is well
equipped to champion and defend
the rights and interests of the peo-
pie of this district and of the state
in the lower house of congress.
Experience in such matters is
worth a great deal. No mex
perienced citizen can accomplish
as much in congress for his district
or state as can a man of experience.
The fact is fully realized in the old
-er states, and hence when they get
a good man in congress, a man who
is faithful, honest and efficient, they
keep him in congress until he COM
mits some error which will justify
them in turning him out. Mr..
Humphrey has served this district
and state we'll and faithfully; he has
committed no error which would
justify the electors of this district
in turning him out of office at the
period of his greatest usefulness te
them.
Moreover, Judge w. w. Black
of Everett, Mr.. Humphreys Demo.
cratic opponent ought not to be
elected. Probably many of the
things charged against Judge Black
in connection with his numerous
mining and other ventures are not
as grave as they seem to be; but in
any event they are of sufficient
gravity to make his election alto
gether too unsafe to be hazarded by
the people of the first congressional
district. Black should be defeated.
Humphrey should be elected. :"

The Seattle Post Intelligencer of
October 30, says:
"The rawest political fake and
fraud which was ever attempted in
this state is the movement to drag
the supreme court into disreputable
partisan politics through the false
pretense of an alleged nonpartisan
ticket. This ticket was put into the
field by number of politicians who
attended an alleged convention of
self-chosen delegates, representing
chiefly themselves.
"Thereupon, by the worst of the
old convention tricks of dickers and
fusion, they traded with the Demo-
Gratis, also holding convention to
which no delegates were elected by
the votes of any portion of the elec-
torate. Having made up a ticket
by a political dicker, through which
certain places on the ticket were al
lotted to the Democrats through
agreement that the Democrats would
support the other nominations made
by the self-constituted convention of
disgruntled politicians, the people
are invited to consider this as a
.snonpartisan" judicial ticket and
for political reasons only, to vote
out Of Office the present members of
the supreme court.
1t is crude, raw and disreput-
able fake.
ssIt is a deliberate attempt to
drag the supreme bench of the state
into dirty politics. As an incident
showing the character of the whole
political deal, men who have been
nominated for these great judicial
offices are now stumping the state,
using the arts of the political orator
to advance their for tunes.
up to this time no political par
ty in this state has ever nominated
q man for the great Office of q Judge
OF the supreme court who was SO
lacking in respect for the dignity Of
tnat high tribunal as to take the
stump and become his own political
advocate.
