To the Citizens Of New Mexico:
At the coming state convention 1t
is my desire to secure the republi-
can senatorial nomination.
Having been q lifelong republi-
can, and, during my thirty-one
years residence in the state wing
been an active worker in every po-
litical campaign, and having ac-
quired comprehensive knowledge
of the needs of the state, and a
wide acquaintance among its citi-
zens, and believing myself to be
qualified by education, training
and experience to represent the
people of our commonwealth, I
feel justified in seeking the high
honor.
Believes in Harmony.

party success; that the will Of the
majority fairly expressed, should

be SUBMITTED to the duly accredited
representatives of the party
for decision, whereby har-

wards should be accorded to those
possessed Of the requisite qual,fi-
cations, and who by answering
loyalty and active and faithful
service have proven themselves
worthy.

organization in Dona Ana county,

suits are secured by efficient pub
lie service and party harmony and

during my incumbency there was
upon me the honor of
being chosen as majority floor
leader. From such service yalua-
