The Republican party at the recent
state assembly showed rare Judgment
when 1t selected Will R. Murphy, ed
itor of the Las Animas Leader, as
its candidate for secretary of state.
Unfortunately for the people, that Of
lice TO rthe past two years, has been
occupied by man who has devoted
all OF his time to telling what a really
great man he is, while as a matter
OF fact he is Of mediocre ability.
Murphy is native son of Colorado;
has real ability and pronounced 10y
atty. In the Arkansas valley, where
he runs the Las Animas Leader. no
man enjoys greater respect and con-
hdence. He was selected by the Re-
didate, after much careful con.
uidate. after much careful con-
sideration.
