Special TO The journal.

Atdlut, N. M, sept. A-.--l ne re-
publican campaign party, which is
comprised of Mr.. Hill, Judge Davis,
Nestor Montoya ana Hilario Del
gado, reached here from Santa Fe
this afternoon. after having made
a stop at Espanola, where an en-
thusiastic welcome was accorded
the candidates.
Mr.. Hill, who is working through
a new territory here, showed him
self to be good candidate and a
ready mixer and seemed to leave
behind him the impression that he
lis an earnest worker and a care
full and conscientious man.
Fully half of the population of
Espanola promised to attend the
meeting scheduled to take place
here tonight and, that they kept
their word was evidenced by the
size of the audience, which was
even larger than had been antici-
pated. The meeting had been well
advertised and voters were on hand
from all over the valley.
Speeches All Short.
The speeches delivered were all
short, but were to the point and
the issues, both state and national,
were fully covered.
In his remarks Judge stephen B.
Davis, Jr., candidate for senator,
dwelt chiefly on national issues, in
Guiding the tariff, in regard to
which he said that protection was
vital to the interests of New Mex
leo, and pledged himself to do all
that he could to initiate and foster
legislation that would be beneficial
to the state. He praised warmly
the foreign policy of the Harding
administration, and assured his
hearers that he was opposed to en-
tangling alliances and strongly in
favor Of this government attending
to its own affairs. The judge made
some striking comparisons between
the Harding and Wilson admins
trations and closed with an appeal
to all of the people to use their
best judgment and bear the inter
ests of their state in mind when
casting their votes in the coming
election.
Judge Davis was followed by Mr..
Hill, who spoke briefly, introduce
ing his remarks by saying that he
was not an orator or politician,
but only a business man who would
use his business experience for the
best interests of the state.
HIPS Pledge.
II pledge myself" said Mr.. Hill,
"as your governor, to see that your
money is honestly spent, that eff
cheney is maintained at its highest
standard and that no men are re-
tanned in public office who are not
worthy of a public trust. | am as
we'll aware as the democrats are
that certain reforms are necessary
in this state and | promise you that
| will undertake these reforms. But,
until | am better informed as to
the exact conditions, | am not 60
ing to make exact promises as to
methods l will adopt. Later in the
campaign / hope to be able to issue
definite statements as to what the
people of New Mexico may expect
me to do in regard to their schools,
the penitentiary, the tax levies and
other matters. but until such state
ments are issued ] want you all to

has made no promises to any man
or set of men in this state and who
will, as your governor, deliver the
goods to the very best of his abil-
ity."
Montoya Speaks.
Nestor Montoya also delivered a
very effective speech. He began
by bringing before the people the
names of each one of the candidates
on the republican ticket and went
into some detail in regard to each
one concerning his or her fitness
for office. Mr.. Montoya spoke
with especial warmth insregard TO
the candidacy of Mrs. Otero-War-
rem. He referred to her as my
successor in the congress of the
United States" at is going to be
my mission" said Mr.. Montoya, ito
inform the people of this state what
a woman can do in congress. Her
sphere of usefulness has extended
itself from the home to the halls
of the legislatures and her influ-
ence in the one will be as effective
in the future as it has been in the
other in the past. In the house or
representatives Mrs. Warren as my
viii, meet with nothing
but courtesy and respect. The fact
that a woman is a woman detracts
in no way from her efficiency in
the congress of the United States
where the gallantry of men is as
great as it ever was. Mrs. warren
will undoubtedly be elected and !
predict for her a useful and success
full political career"
From Alcalde the party will go
on to Taos, where a meeting will
be held ON Saturday night. The
campaigners will be Joined at this
point by Governor Mechem and
Mrs. Warren. Further changes in
the personnel and the complete
itinerary will be announced in a
