The committee also issued' 2
statement outlining Mr.. Holt
qualifications. as follows:
estate Senator Herbert y. Holt
of Las Cruces, New Mexico, ha'
lust announced his candidacy FOL
the United States senate from New
Mexico. Dona Ana county ano
southern New Mexico, are proud e
present to the republicans of the
state the name Of our foremost SOL
of the south for this highest office
in the gift of the people of the
state.
"The people of the state are en-
titled to the best material within
it's borders in selecting their can
didate for this great offeei the
best in honorable men, best IN ca.
pable men, best in men Acquainted
with the affairs and needs Of the
state In the widest sense. ABOVE
all, New Mexico is not only entl-
tied, but is in duty bound, to Sc
lect man whose unimpeaphablc
integrity Is O. guaranty beyond per-
adventure that his every act ano
purpose will be solely for the high
est welfare Of his state and nation
"Bare superla tives are rarely
convincing, but we feel thatIwe are
stating plain and simple fact
only when \ o assert. that State
Senator Holt is at once the most
capable and the most logical Tonli-
nee for the republican party tc
support in the coming election"
I'VE pass over for the present
the strength that Mr.. iIoit, COM
mands by reason of his support OF
those great national policies which
are paramount in the national ad-
ADMINISTRATION at this time.
Specifically, we say that Mr..
Holt is recognized as being as
nearly the leader of the bal in New
Mexico as any one man could be
said to be the. leader No judge,
member of the bar, or laynar, who
has come into contact with Mr..
Holt in legal way fails to reoog-
nize his exceptional attachments in
his profession. He is remarkably
endowed with the QUALITIES Of ac-
curacy, thoroughness, clear think
ing, good Judgment and industry
all peculiarly appropriate qualifi-
cations for United States senator.
Furthermore, as a public speaker,
q man of intimate dignity, and of
most engaging personally, ne is
rarely well equipped.
GAS for his character as a man:
He is cultured gentleman. His
life of thirty yelrs in this COM
munity, the esteem In which he Is
held by those who know him, and
the absolute reliance placed upon
his integrity speak louder than
anything that can be written IN
this respect. 1t is not possible to
get a better measure # mans
worth than whgt the home folks
think about him. And every man
