DEDICATION
HTO THE MEN of New Mexico who have
fought the hard and successful fight for
statehood, this book is dedicated.
INTRODUCTION
"C^OR some years past the editorial departments of the great
newspapers of the United States have recognized the fact
that photographs and biographical sketches of men of affairs in
the different states of the Union, have become very important
as news features. For this reason these great newspapers and
the various news associations have at all times lent their moral
and sometimes financial support to the efforts of reputable
publishers, who have compiled books along this line.
CJ The absence of any book of this character in New Mexico,
and the almost absolute necessity for such a publication, has
caused the compilation of this book. The work of soliciting for
"Representative New Mexicans" has been carefully and con-
scientiously done, the publisher at all times trying to interest
the real representative men of the New State, and eliminate the
"Herd Book" features. The publisher feels satisfied that he
has been successful in this matter.
"Representative New Mexicans" is distributed free to every
newspaper and public library in New Mexico, thus furnishing
every publication in the state a valuable reference book on their
own citizenry. One is also sent to every newspaper of national
or state prominence in the United States. In addition to its
value as a newspaper reference book and as a souvenir, it is a
valuable advertising medium, as a state is generally judged by
the class of representative citizens who are her residents.
Very sincerely yours,
U.S.A.
