We all Of us remember the tales Of
the boyhood Of those who have been
candidates for flee, and these stor.
les have stayed with us in the aftel
years. We have not forgotten the
books Of long ago which told Of the
bitter struggles Of Lincoln, the rail
splitter; Of Garfield, the canal driver,
and the stories of the early efforts
Of so many Of our public men, battl-
ing onward in the world. against the
awful odds which confront everyone
who is trying to make his way.
One OF the candidates before the
people Of New Mexico has his pa
thetic, manly and appealing story Of
q boys life and the outcome Of a
brave strife against bitter odds.
Hugh Williams, candidate for cor
poration commissioner, ON the Re-
publican ticket, saw the harsh and
distressing side Of life in his curly
years, and il required the sterling de-
termination and manly courage which
is part of his makeup, to win out,
gaining, as he did one promotion at
ter another, from the corporations
with which he was connected. The
position which he holds, he won be-
cause OF his recognized fidelity and
peculiar fitness. Now, after the ex-
perience in the position he is only
better qualified than before to work
out those problems which are for the
good Of the people Of this great state,
and he is heart and soul bound up in
a desire TO do just this thing. II
is not necessary for the voters Of
New Mexico to speculate on what po-
sition Hugh Williams will take on
certain questions and how he will
stand on others. as his inventory has
been made and by II he can be judg-
ed. His whole record is the record Of
a man Of the people, and yet possess
ed Of strict sense Of justice. With
these qualities Of nature and with the
experience Of the past three years
in the position, is It not the part Of
wisdom and good citizenship to re-
elect Williams to this position which
he has so well and satisfactorily ALL
