done in q spirit OF anger because hel
expressed himself as quiet satisfied
with the ticket and will give it his en-
thusiastic support after the nominal
tons were made.
Larrazclo Is Strong Man.
Mr., Larrazolo is recognized as the
ablest Spanish American in the south
west, which means that he is ablest
Spanish American in the United
States. He is lawyer OF recognized
ability lie is one of the very few real
scholars in New Mexico politics,
speaking She English language with
out accent and with classical purity.
He is an orator in the best sense His
voice is good, his enunciatin clear,
his sentences crisp and at the same
time well rounded out. He is fond Of
epigrams and without the slightest
trace of attempted eloquence his ut
terances are poetic in their beauty.
Noted Educator.
Mr.. Larrazolo's early life, after
graduation from St Michael college.
was devoted to teaching. He taught
the first English lessons that were
taught in FL Paso county, where pow
erry-stricken though he was, he used
his first months salary of $50. and SIS
that he borrowed, for the purpose Of
buying for the students who had no
textbooks both Spanish and English
texts. He took McGIffey's third read.
err in English and taught the Span.
ish-speaking students to translate il
from the texts, both in Spanish and in
English when read by one student in
the one language and translated by
another student into the other lam
guage, until every pupil under him
had memori2ed the book in both lam
guagcs.
Why He Changed.
Many OF the most distinguished
men holding office and otherwise, in
I'll Paso city and county got their
carly education under the tuition OF
Mr.. LaTrazolo.
Z While it is known that the demo-
cratic leaders of the state will make
hard fight against Mr.. Larrazolo's
election, it is not known just how
they will attack him, as he was
twice nominated and enthusiastically
supported by them for delegate to
congress in recent territorial days
! The only grievance they have against
him is because seven years ago he
changed from democrat to republican
because he did not believe that the
native people were receiving the con-
sideration at the hands of the demo-
Gratis in the strongly democratic
Counties to which they were entitled
He believed that unless the country
schools, where the natives mostly 60
were improved and education among
the native children advanced, that
the Spanish Americans would in the
course Of time be largely dsfran-
chised, as they have been in Arizona
and Texas, and that from property
owners they would become hired la
borers on the railroads in the shops
| and on the farms and sheep ranches
of the state.
When the convention met it was
easily seen that O. A. LarraZolo was
the unanimous choice OF the native
delegates, and he was not opposed by
the Anglo AMERICANS. because they
recognized in him as a man of high
ability and clean record who would
make a strong, progressive governor

Land Commissioner.
One of the surprises of the conven-
non was me nomination or Nelson a. |

concern, as there wer} no less than
