MATINEE For L. s. SENATOR.


From La Noz Publica. Santa Rosa
In an interview last week with Hon
BeniCno Padilla. a leading Democrat
Of this county, the question was asked:
Who viii the Democrats nominate
for United States senator"
1T is yet early to forecast this i'm
portant matter" said Mr. Padilla. but
great care should be exercised TO select
a man who can be Of the greatest bene-
fit to New Mexico. New Mexico has a
man who is pre-eminently qualified for
the place, a man who has already been
greatly honOred by president Wilson
and in whom the president and his
cabinet have implicit confidence This
man is Felix Martinez, a native son of
New MeSiCo. Mr.. Martinez. by sheer
force Of character and almost miracu-
lous native ability. has risen from a
poor lad to one Of the most eminent and
successful men in the great southwest
New Mexico democracy owes il TO our
people Of all races to name Felix Mar
tinez as our next senator. Another rea-
son also exists for his nomination. This
reason may perhaps be called a political
one, but nevertheless is an all import
ant one That is, Felix Martinez would
unite all discordant Democratic fac
lions and would easily defeat any man
placed in nomination by the Republi-
cans. If nominated he will be sure Of
election"
