Governor New Mexico Ever Had

PANKEY should be nominated ii

mate.
You can't fool the Spanish-Ameri
cans all the time. They may fall for
a man once-but no mas.
PANKEY will sweep the northern
counties and in the southern and
eastern will get a large democratic
vote of cattIemcn that no one else
on the republican ticket can touch
"Pankev is only a cattleman," say
some. Yes, and, like happens to be
the case with most of the catt1emtn
his heart and head are right and in
the right place and he will make the
BEST governor New Mexico ever
had--juSt as has cattleman Bill Cox
made the best collector this county
ever had; just as has cattleman Fell
pc Lucero' made "the best sheriff
New Mexico ever had" according to
democratic chief of police Of Albu-
querque, 6. r. Galusha; Just as cat
tleman Bill Mcdonald, who was in
favor of slashing salaries of all off
Gals, including the governors. made
one of the best governors this state
ever had. And just like every cat
tleman has made good in every posi-
ton of trust in which he may have
been placed.
PANkEY is NOT a candidate. but
he is a PATRIOT, a lifelong repub-
lican, and if urged will accept the
nomination for his country's sake as
it will tend to minimize campaign
strife, and for the good of the party,
because the party vote will be solid
ly behind him.
PANkEY is the kind of a PA
TR1OT that will sacrifice his inter-
ests for the sake of his country and
party harmony and success. He will
be New Mexico's best governor.
PANKEY does not consider him
self to be the whole Republican
party.
PANKEY is one of the best mixers
in the state.
PANKEY doesn't have to have it
said of him that he is 1000 American.
The too often repeated assertion that
an American is a iG1J7a American
sometimes implies otherwise.
PANKEY is a doer, not a talker;
he is SINCERE.
PANKEY will deliver the goods
all the people of the state, re-
CARELESS of politics, creed or any
thing else; he will back Wilson in
everything tending to help put the
and army hors d'combat.
PANKEY belongs to the common
herd, likes to mix with them, and will
be elected by them by a tremendous
majority.
PANKEY is made of the stuff that
has made men great. He has those
qualities that endear him to the peo-
Die; he likes to mingle with the peo-
Die and as governor will obtain his
Information first-hand not from mis-
nformants, jackass confidants, ct al.
PANKEY will be rendered the re-
publican nomination if the party de-
ides to do what is best for the conn
ry and the party. And PANKEY
will accept, p~erforce, for like rea-
,one
