HERNANDEZ NOW a SENATOR
Maxwell Mail: Many OF the best informed
Republicans In the state are discussing the
advisability OF nominating Congressman
B. @, Hernandez for senator to succeed Sen.
ator Catron, The idea ID meeting with
much favor in Colfax county and Mr..
Hernandez will undoubtedly have the sup
port Of the delegates from here.
As Congressman MI. Hernandez has
worked for the best interests Of our state
and has made his influence felt at Washing
ton. BY his good work he has earned pro
motion to the higher branch Of the govern
ment service. Hts complete understanding
of affairs along the border makes him a
valuable man to have at Washington, and
We should keep him there
HOMETOWN ESTIMATE or ELY
Deming Graphic: When Ralph G. Ely
came to Deming, we didn't have as much
Deming spirit as we have now, and the
city was doing no community advertising.
For ten years he gave us the very best
that was in him. It was not a question of
moneysmaking with him, but Of helpful de-
velopment. His wells, his farm, and his
voice were always at the disposal of the
community and his voice was never raised
in an unworthy cause. He did his part in
the Organization of the Chamber Of Com
MERGE and was its first president. No one
ever asked his assistance in the sale OF a
piece Of land and didn't get it. No one
ever went to him discouraged and disheart-
ened and did not find him a careful coun-
selor and sympathetic listener and a help
full friend. At conventions and in newspa
pers and magazines he presented with all
his skill the goods features of the town
and county in which he lived and every
movement for its upbuilding met with his
support. He boosted our court house. He
talked the necessity Of a sewer system for
years before many Of us felt the need of it
and now we have it. Our children lave al
ways been able to call upon him for a com
mencement address, and other exercises and
his optimism, his faith in the future Of our
country and his thorough understanding of
our institutions and wide acquaintance with
Americas industrial development, had made
him always a prophet Of growth. The work
which he is doing now in the state, is
exactly the same work he did for us in this
county. It is a wider field and he is making
his enemies the same as he makes his
but his enemies are a credit to
him and his friends will never forsake him.
There are boys in this town who were his
boys twenty years ago and followed him
here. There are men in this state who will
be his partisan friends and supporters 20
years hence because he is preaching the
doctrine of good faith and fair dealing in
good business and presenting the highest
deals Of a political virtue.
We have often heard him say a man may
rot be as big a man as Washington or
Webster, or Lincoln, or Blaine, and may
1e excused for it, but every public man
should entertain and live up to the ideals
If these heroes OF the past. It is the same
doctrine that he is preaching now. He may !
ie defeated in this campaign, but the things !
or which he contends are bouRd to win, {
nd whether he wins or loses, he will equal J
Y enjoy the confidence and faith of the !
modest people Of this community who have !
zen cheered through their discourage !
nents, helped in their difficulties and al !
Ways sustained and never hipdered through s
lis efforts. Ralph G. Ely may never get I
ich, because he is not the kind Of q man !
Who amasses wealth, but the community in
which he lives will be richer and better be-
ause Of the things he does and tries to do.

idered by leading Republicans for the nomi- I
