JONES, OF ARKANSAS, SAYS NO.
New York SUM-
The excellent people of a certain part
of New Mexico desired to form a new
county and name it for the president
now occupying the white house.
The New Mexico legislature
therefore passed a bill creating
the county Of Mckinley. This
was more than year ago. The
governor of New Mexico approved the
Mckinley county act on February %,
1899. -
There is some precedent for naming
counties for presidents Of the United
States. To prove this we have COM
piled the subjoined statistics:
Washington counties :. 81
Adams counties. q
Jefferson countless. 23
Madison counties. ....J.... ...... J. 10
Monroe countless. ....... .....s.... IL
jackson counties. ..... 800. ...i.;.l... 90
Van Buren, Counties.
Harrison countless. ....... 4. s..3... S
Tyler counties.... So. -. ..,..
Polk countless. ...... ~
Taylor counties. ..... 500.
Pierce counties. 5000. 49,. s

Lincoln counties.... ...... ~. II
johnson counties 1000. .... 800. 80. ~
Grant counties .... $50. 49,. ..s...... 10
Hayes counties ..... $3.50. ..........
Garfield counties.... ...... s
Cleveland counties 3
1t Will be observed that the president
who was first In war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen is
first in respect to the number
of counties bearing his name. With
the single exception OF Arthur every
man that ever held the presidential Of
flee has been thus llonored. Mr.. Arthur
had several cities or towns named for
him and the absence of his name from
the list of counties is plainly acciden-
tai. Even Hayes is there.
Now, the desire of New Mexicans to
President Mckinley and at
No. "a
menclature name that will always
hold a distinguished place in history, is
perfectly natural. reasonable and cred
liable. So the Mexico legislature passed
the bill. and Governor Miguel Otero
signed it.
+ But. as New Mexico is territory,
the congress of the United States has
the power of vetoing its legislation.
This power is not often execsed; sell
dom even remembered. Under the cir
cumstances We must regard as one of
the most extraordinary measures of the
present session the bill introduced In
the senate last Tuesday by the Hon.
James *. Jones, of Arkansas, the man
ager of Bryan's last campaign against
That chapter 10 of the acts of the
e
legislative assembly Of the territory of
New Mexico. entitled AN act to create
the county Of Mckinley and to provide
for the government thereof, approved
by the governor of the said territory,
Feb. %. 1899, be. and the same is hereby
ldisapproved.
Now, why does the great and mag
unanimous Jones object? In his own
state of Arkansas there are not less
than eleven counties named for presi-
dents-most of them democratic presi-
,dents-of the United tsates; and in the
whole country there are not less than
five counties named Jones.
