The Strongest
Senator Isaac Barth nas announced
himself as candidate for governor of
the State of New Mexico on the dem-
ocratic ticket. Mr. Barth is the
strongest candidate the democrats can
nominate. He is considered a good
lawyer and is an energetic and suc
cessful campaigner. Whatever divi
. .
sion of opinion may exist as to his
personal qualification to be governor
of New Mexico, there is none as to
nis ability as a campaigner and vote
getter. La V'oz Publica.

Vil'a is heading a band of these men,
though the story of his death is
still persistent. The troops from the

who persist in hanging on the border

Word drifts back fiom the Persh

suffering under the hot suns of the
Mexico sands and that they have
suffered many hardships. The food
supply has been poor and scanty and
there has been a heavy loss of ani

Mr. Hernandez speech pleased the
Capitol Heights Republicans mightily
and when tip sat down Attorney
James M. Wood arose and moved that
he be tendered a vote of thanks for
it. Instead of expressing themselves
in the usual manner, every man in
the house arose and stood for a mo
ment.
T'ie Meeting was presided over by
President Gibbs of the Capitol
Heights Republican Club, who intro
duced Mr. Hernandez in a short
speech which made the Southwestern
Congressman feel at home.
The laudatory cfitoriat reads as
follows :
A man who is winning for him
self an enviable reputation not only
as the representative of the growing
State from which he comes, but as
a fairminded, farsecing member of:
Congress, is the Hon. B. C. Her-'

of the new southwestern Common
wealth made no mistake in choosing
him to represent them in Washing-

they wi not fail , renew lhcW fait1l
