An ephemeral survivor of the Republican political campaign in New Mexico in 1884. Herein, William Breeden, the territory's attorney general, pleads with voters to nominate L. Bradford Prince as the territory's congressional representative, urging a united party front. Breeden extols Prince's virtues and experience, noting that his two competitors are less qualified despite having been territorial residents for a longer time. Indeed, Prince would go on to be territorial governor from 1889 to 1893, and to be actively involved in territorial and state affairs, in addition to authoring several historical works on the region and its history. Scarce and ephemeral, we locate four copies in OCLC -- Yale, Huntington, SMU, and the University of New Mexico.
