RALPH ELY SUCCESSFUL
FORMER ALMA BOY is CALLED
LEADING POLITICAL FIGURE
IN NEW MEXICO

Ralph C. Ely, former Alma boy,
son of Townsend Ely, is rapidly becom-
ing the leading figure in civic and po-
litical circles in New Mexico and if
we may Judge from the spirit of the
press of that state he is slated for the
governorshp with the backing of all
the best elements of the state. Even
papers processing a different political
faith join with friendly papers in com
mending Mr.. Ely for the advanced
sand he is taking upon all the lead
ing issues of the day. He is a member
Of the Republican party and the ac
knowledged leader of the progressive
wing in New Mexico. AS chairman Of
the Republican state committee, he is
making his influence felt stronger,
every day. The Evening Herald of
Albuquerque, a Democratic sheet, has
this to say of him in an editorial:
''No little courage was required of
this commencement day speaker to
deliver the address he gave. Mr. Ely
is chairman of the Republican state
committee. His direction and vigor-
Gus work last fall won the election in
this state for his party. He was re-
sponsible for the Republican success
in gaining an overwhelming majority
in the legislature. With this record
behind him, and in his official position
of responsibility for his party, when
Mr.. Ely tells us that the best legisla-
ture was controlled by an irresponsible
and unreachable lobby, we may take it
as an absolute fact"
In another issue this same paper
says, ar. Ely's address was one of the
most eloquent pleas for pure politics
and for adherence to the ideal by
young men in their relation to the
state that ever has been delivered. He
was cordially received and heartily APP
plauded."
Mr.. Ely delivered the commence
ment address to the graduating class of
the High School in Deming. The Ora
phic of that city had the following to
say of his brilliant discourse: "Of
course the chief feature of the even
ing was the masterful address by
r. G.. Ely who is properly recognized
as the leading platform speaker of the
state. Mr.. Ely pursued the develope-
ment of America from its pioneer
stage to its present high stage Of de-
velopement, giving much from the
storehouse of wisdom he has gathered
from experience and observation. He
admonished the members of the class
that much would be expected of them
in making a high grade of citizenship
clothing his ideas in pure simple Eng
lish, that could not help make a deep
and lasting impression upon his at
tentive auditors. Mr.. Ely opened his
address with a reference to the scene
of his boyhood i'm little central Mich
igan town, as it appeared to him as
boy in the middle seventies. He said
that the problems of the pioneer were
far more difficult there, the obstacles
greater, and the prospects of redeem
ing that land far less than those with
which we have become familiar in
this little spot in the desert in which
our efforts are being set forth and our
hopes conferred"
