Gallup Herald. Judge Hnna For Coventor Richard H. Hanna was one of the first men in New Mexico to set hip face like flint against crooked prac practices - tices practices in his own party, which was Republican. He was not deterred by threats or persecution with the re result - sult result that there is probably not a right thinking man the State who does not hold him in esteem. Since Judge Han Hanna - na Hanna possesses the ability, the character and the high qualifications for office since it is the heights of fashior te nominate judges of our courts for office, the Repnblic here and now nominates Richard H. Hanna as thr Democratic and Independent stand standard - ard standard hearer for the office of Chief Executive of New Mexico. On our first page today The Re Republic - public Republic takes the unauthorized Vbrrt of mentioning as the hest candidate for jrovernor of the state of N'ew Mexico Justice Richard H. Hanna

ico will second this nomination and that a wave of state patriotism will rally to his support U 'ty that will leave no doubt as to what New Mexico wants. The Demand mult be made upon Judg Hanna that any sacrifice made by him is made for j his state and her good government ' and he will not fail to corne to the j rescue at such an hour of need. Wcj believe he is he logical cadnidate tc succeed Goervnor McDonald and to defeat Mr. Bursum. Lai Cruces Re Republic - public Republic . SpanUh-Americant Loyal The loyalty of the Spanish-American people to the United States is being demonstrated with greater force every day. These good peo ple from the first have manifested themselves to be perfectly willing to perform their share of the work of defending our nation, either from the incursions of bandits or of the re regular - gular regular troops of the Mexican army. This fact when considered with the other estimable qualities of these people leads to the inevtable con conclusion - clusion conclusion that they are among the best citizens we have in these United States. In addition to being patriotic enough to shed their blood in time of war, they are noted for their res respect - pect respect for the law and quietness dur during - ing during times of peace . We arc unable ( at this time to state how many of i tlu young Spanish --VmericniM volun- teered for service in our national i guard in New Mexico, but informa information - tion information in our possession loads us to believe that a majority of the aopli aopli-cants - cants aopli-cants for enrollment in this org-ani-j zation have been from the ranks of the Spanish-Americans. We are also confident that when the president calls for volunteers, not only will the Spanish-Americans furnish a large' contingent for service as cnlistedj men, but will also furnish from the educated and qualified Spanish -Americans of this state, a valuable nnm ber of officers. This has been done in the Spanish as well as in the civil wars I. as Cruces Citizen. i Judge Raynoldt Again A press report of yesterday is to the effect that Judge Herbert F. Ray Ray-no'ds - no'ds Ray-no'ds of Albuquerque is liUely to he presented by Valencia county and supported by Otero courty for the senatorial nomination before the state convention.

A Bum Cuen A gentleman who telegraphed to the Albuquerque Herald the informa-! tion that this year the Colfax county Democrats are together and the Re Republicans - publicans Republicans are divided needs to have his guessing mechanism overhauled It is certain that the Democrats have not yet come together because of the peace and quiet that prevails here hereabouts. - abouts. hereabouts. When they do get together, a telegram to the downstate papers j will not be necesary to inform them of the fact. The dynamic reverbera reverberations - tions reverberations will speak for themselves. As to the Republicans, they have noti been better prepared to give succes-, ful battle to the enemy since 1910 than they are today. Do not fear for them, dear brother; rather, fear! them. And if you enjoy the game of guesing do not let us stay you. Take six more. Perhaps you will get a good , one out of the lot. Raton Range. Dr. Shuler O.

CATRON AND HUBBELL We realize that the fight for the nomination for governor on the Re Republican - publican Republican ticket will be very hirdly fought and very close but at the same time we believe that Hon.

Eursum since being defeated at the last elec election - tion election by the Progressive Vote that was recruited from the ranks of the Re Republican - publican Republican party has grown stcadil.y in strength and is the strongest man that can be placed in the field by the Grand Old Party.

Gallup Herald. About Mr. Catron.

Judging! from the claims eman ating from the rival camps, the vote will be close but both Thomas B. Catron and Frank A. Hubbell, the rival contenders, are putting up the best fight that's in them, an ! which whichever - ever whichever man loses will give his undivid undivided - ed undivided support to his rival in the election next November. So far as is known neither is overlooking any argument why he should be elected and neither is endeavoring to win by abusing or belittling his rival. The Optic believes tl.e state is fortunate in having t-o such sfong men as available senat.o-- ' . Of the two, however, it is of the opinion that Mr. Catron is best suit- ed, by experience, ability as a lawyer, j and l.-moerament, for z scat in the( United States senate. Senatnr Cat-' ron is just finishing a term in the np-' per house of the nation's highest leg legislative - islative legislative assembly, where he has sir siren - en siren a good account of himself.
