on a ranch, and instead of being ar

URGING BIG DELEGATION.
Mesilla Valley to Be Represented al
Irrigation and Transmississippi
Congresses at Portland.

Las Cruces, July S.-A movement il
on foot to send big delegation from
this valley to the Irrigation and Trans
mississippi Congresses in Portland
this fall. All the contracts for the
land under the Elephant Butte dam
are not signed up and it is thought tc
be advisable to attend the national
congress and make an aggressive and
creditable showing.
There are enemies of the Engle pro.
ject who would like to get in ahead
of the Rio Grande valley by securing
the use of the money first, and unless
a good delegation is present, showing
that the Rio Grande valley Is still in
line on irrigation in general, these
enemies are likely to take advantage
of its absence.
For the delegation there has been
suggested unique badge consisting of
an elephant, suggesting in itself the
Elephant Butte project, the figure to
be made of the various metals that are
produced here. This figure is to be
placed on a ribbon combining Ameri-
can and Mexican national colors, on
which will be printed few words set
ting forth the mineral and agricultural
resources of the Rio Grande country

noon from Kansas City, where he and
William T. Jerome, the district attor
ney of New York City, were the guests
of honor last night at the monthly din
ner of the Knife and Fork Club.
Mr.. Lawson said in part: 81 have
come to Kansas on simple mission
to point out to you that the American
people are being robbed, by whom,
how, and what the consequences will
be if the robbery is not stayed and an
example made of the robbers"
Mr.. Lawson discussed at length the
evils of the System" and continued:
What are you going to do about it?
How shall 1t be ended? BY your ballot?
What are ballots against dollars? And
the System has unlimited dollars
With $5,O0O,000 l saw Rogers rob the
able, fearless, honest, but all wrong on
the money question William Jennings
Bryan of the presidency of the United
States in 1896. Do you imagine he
would shrink from repeating the oper-
ations in 1908 IL he feared that the
man you nominate would upset his
control" Mr.. Lawson eulogized
President Roosevelt but said he was
bound by Congress. Municipal owner
ship he dismissed as will o'wisp.
Then he said "The surest, safest and
most natural process of restitution is
the application of the systems own
methods. The first step is for the
American people to sell every share of
stock, and every bond they have held
back, to the frenzied financiers at the
present inflated prices. Take the mon
ey thus realized and place it in banks
and with trust companies, or better
still, in government, state and munich
pal bonds"
"This," Lawson said, would cause a
collapse of the System which would
oblige them to throw over the stocks
and bonds they carried. These stocks
and bonds the people could then pur-
chase and, having to pay interest only
on their real value could reduce the
rates Of fare and freight and prices
generally, and the revolution would be
complete"
