Albuquerque, N. M, Nov. S.-One
of the largest audiences ever gathered
to hear a political discussion greeted
Holm o. Bursum last night when he
addressed the voters of Bernalillo
county on the issues of the campaign.
The Elks' theater was packed to the
doors, both up stairs and down, sew
eral hundred people being compelled
to stand up in the rear of the house.
The audience was fully twice as large
as that which greeted w. c. McDon-
aid when he spoke from the same
stage during the week of the state
fair in Albuquerque. The size of the
crowd was equalled by its enthusiasm,
and Mr.. Bursum was repeatedly inter-
rupted by enthusiastic cheers which
showed that his hearers were fully in
sympathy with him.
Judge e. A. Mann presided over
he meeting and introduced as the
irst speaker Delegate w. H. Andrews.
Who. delivered short address urging
,arty loyalty and stressing the i'm
,ortance to the people of New Mexico
# adhering to republican principles.

made powerful and convincing argu-
ment in favor Of continuing the repub-
lican party in power. He dwelt at
some length on the democratic policy
of free, trade and showed that its ef-
feet on the wool industry of New
Mexico would be ruinous. He pledged
himself to support measures looking
to an efficient public school system
and a system of state Industrial edu-
cation and promised that his admins
tration would give every encourage
ment to the building of complete
and efficient system of roads through
out the state. On these subjects Mr..
Bursum was clear and explicit and
left no doubt as to his position. Mr.
Pursum concluded his speech VITA an
argument in opposition to the adop-
ton of the Blue Ballot amendm ant
which was pronounced the ablest pre-.
sentation OF the question made by
any public speaker who has yet been
heard IN albuquerque.
Mr.. Bursum received the closest at
ention from the big crowd through
'ut his speech. The meeting was be-
vond all question the most successful
hat has ever been held in Albuquer-
lue during the campaign.

ALBUQUERQUE GIVES BuRSUM
AN ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME
Republican Candidate for Governor Repeatedly Cheered When
He Dsproves CHARGES of Ex-Governor Haeerman.--Makes
Mastery Arraignment OF the Blue Ballot Amendment

The exertion Of arduous campaign
ing seems to have agreed with Mr.
Bursum, for he was in splendid physi
cal condition and aside from a slight
huskiness in his voice which soon
wore away as he proceeded with his
address he showed no sign of the
strain under which he has been for
the past several weeks. Mr.. Bursum
spoke for nearly two hours and re-
viewed every phase of the present
campaign. His reply to the charges
of Herbert ]. Hagerman was marked
by the utmost candor and manliness
and undoubtedly gained him many
votes. He completely refuted every
one of the charges, and when he fin
ished that part of his address he was
given prolonged and enthusiastic ap-
plause.
Mr.. Bursum explained that the
county of Socorro had been saddled
with debt during the administration
in that county of e. v. Chavez, who
s now campaigning against Mr.. Bur
sum. and explained that the republi-
cans of Socorro county had ever
ince been struggling to overcome the
'ffect of the Chavez administration.
