Candidate For Governor Speaks In Silver City
Albuquerque businessman Calvin Horn, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate, told Silver City Democrats at the Milner Highland hotel that Grant County grew by 500 people in 1967 while New Mexico showed a net population loss. He cited UNM data noting 20,000 in 1966 plus 500 in 1967, and warned that state population decline contrasts with regional growth, adding concerns over declines in wage earners aged 18 to 44 from 1960 to 1966.
