but Adherents Confident He Will
Change His Attitude

Friends of DIR. Houghton are now try

behalf of the Sixth ward councilmaE
has been placed in circulation, and an
effort Is being made to secure a suf-

Houghton that it will be worth while
for him to make tie race. 1t has been
understood that the pyrotechnic doctor
had decided to retire from politics uporl
the expiration of his term as council
man and devote himself to cactus cul-
tivation, but those who are back of
him in this movement seem confident
that they can induce him to change his
mind.
That Houghton's career in the council

leaders of the Sixth ward faction who
put him there was made clearly evident

The Vern on Improvement association

association presented petition to the
city council yesterday afternoon asking
that all that portion of the Sixth ward
south of the Southern Pacific tracks

ward be made into a separate and dis
tinct ward to be known al the Sixth.
Whether or not the petitioners warted
toeg get rid of Dock HouChton as their

this means to sever connections In
gentle and effective manner the petition
did not state.
1t was significant that the officers of
the Vernon Improvement association
presented the petition to the council in
person and not through the agency of
the councilman from the Sixth, as is
the custom.
In explaining their desire for new
ward the officers of the Vernon I'm
provement association declared they
had heard there was a movement on
foot to divide the northern half of the
Sixth among the Eighth and the
Seventh, and if such a division was to
be made they wanted their position de-
fired early.

The Sixth ward is the largest ward iii

any other two wards in the city. There
has been some talk of cutting up the

people who are troubled with spells
of sick headache. She writes that
she had these spells about four times
a week, was obliged to go to bed and
remain there from to 10 hours
each time. Had been troubled this
way for several years, and the at
tacks became more frequent. Doc
tors done her no good, she tried
dieting, as every body said it was
from her stomach. Seeing an adver-
tisement of DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills, which said, they cure
sick headache by removing the
cause, she decided to try one more,
and sent so cents for two boxes. She
said she had taken the last pill more
than months ago, has not had a
sick spell of any kind for over 5
months. Druggists sells these pills
for Csc per box. 1t only takes one

LYING ABOUT
THE PEcOS VALLEY.

The Republican party and its ad-

ken up a campaign of abuse and SIAN
der against the people of the Pecos
Valley.
In the Republican Territorial Con
vention of last Saturday, the state
ment was made that the native people
were not permitted to sit on juries
and their children were barred from
the public schools in the Democratic
counties of Chaves and Eddy. This
statement, as every resident in these
counties knows, is untrue, and was
so branded by w. G. Reid, but we may
now expect to e it scattered broad
cast over the Territory by such in
tensely partisan papers as h Santa
Fee New Mexican and others of its
ilk, who pay very little regard to the
truth in political matters.
At the last Spring term of court
in this county, the Records business
was a member of the jury
panel. There was n Mexican on
that panel, who sat on the trial jury
in a number of cases. The Records

publicity it did the little rule which
was passed by four men who like
some others of our people had not
yet learned that our natives are the
most law abiding and bes people in
the territory and constitute the large
