The Maryland Journal, published at
Capitol Heights, Maryland, has the
following account of speech deliver
ed by Congressman Hernandez, fol-
lowed by very complimentary edi-
torial
The article says
The first big gun of the campaign
in Prince Georges county was fired
in Capitol Heights Monday night by
Representative B. c. Hernandez of
New Mexico. Mr. Hernandez is Serv-
ing his first term as member Of
Congress and is making good. He
is one of the best informed men in
the popular branch of the great lc-
gislatiye body. He votes upon every
proposition presented to the House
and always votes on the right side.
And with him the right side is the
right side. He hl, kept tab on every
move made by President Wilson since
the present session OF Congress con-
vened and hence has the record made
by Mr.. Wilson on the tip of his
tongue.
The gathering at Ryder'S Hall to
hear Mr. Hernandez was not as large
as 1t would have been il but one meet
ing had been held that night. A flag
raising at Greater Capitol Heights,
however, attracted a number of peo-
pie. But the attendance was good and
those present listened with close at
tention to the excellent address de-
livcred by Mr.. Hernandez, who spoke
fifty-eight minutes.
The Congressman began his speech
by telling his audience something
about the faraway State he repre-
sents. He told of its growth since
it assumed the dignity of statehood
and of the great future which lies
. before it. He spoke about its great
ranches, on which thousands of head
of cattle and sheep feed, and of its
agricultural, industrial and CONNER
cial advancement He described, as
, well as any man could have done, its
splendid climate with its eternal sun
shine, and then he told the people
OF Maryland about its politics. Re-
ferring to his candidacy for Congress
as the Republican nominee, he said
that he had been compelled TO make
hard fight to wrest the office from
his Democratic opponent. who had
held it for two terms. But in the
Fifth district of Maryland Mr.. Mudd,
the Republican candidate, was al
ready in and the fact that he has
faithfully and ably served the peo-
pie should insure his reelection by a
greatly increased majority.
Mr.. Hernandez then turned to Ma
tional politics and discussed in an en-
tertaining and instructive manner the
issues WHICH Mr.. Wilson has forced
upon the country. His familiarity
with Mexican affairs enabled him to
speak at length upon the situation in
that distracted country. He told his
audience many things they did not
know about the southern republic and
ifs people. He then pointed out the
mistakes made by the Administration
and showed that the policy adopted
and pursued by Mr.. Wilson could
have no other effect than to widen
the breach between the two nations
and most likely lead to war. While
the outrages committed by Mexicans
upon citizens of the United States
had Justly aroused the angry in
dignation of patriotic Americans in
every section of the Union, it should
not be forgotten that the men of
Mexico have the same love for the
unhappy country in which they live
and which to them is their native
land, that we have for the great
