legislature do not know the things in /
legislation in which Bernalillo county /
IS especially interested, it is not the |
buquerque, nor of the Boosters. The
Boosters a hundred strong, came to
Santa he at IL O'Clock this morning.
They formed in line with Mayor
Frank Mckee at the head of the pro-
cession, and marched from the santa
Fe station over to the CaDito! where
they paid a cal! on Governor Ha-
german.
The governor made a short address
to the delegation in which he eN-
pressed sympathy with the movement
10 reduce county Salaries to talr
basis: and spoke briefly of his views
on the legislation in which the dele
cation was taking an interest.
The Boosters were given a cordial
welcome at the executive office ana
after a brief stay formed in line again
to march down town, neither house ol
the assembly being in session. The
march to the plaza was halted from
time to time while the Boosters gave
their yell, a very effective slogan
which must be heard to be appre-
cfated and which should be heard in
good yel and is said to have been
invented on the spur of the moment
by Arthur Everitt, the dignified jew
eler who can give it 50 it can be
heard al over the Santa Fe valley
ON each Boosters coat lapel was
pinned a little strip Of red ribbon
Secretary Hadden of the Boosters
club forgot to buy the ribbon Satur-
day night, and as a result he had to
accept small part of bolt which he
secured from the first notion store
open before he left Albuquerque.
There wasn't enough ribbon to go
around, and so it was cut up into lit
tie slips SO that everybody could be
decorated. President Tight of the
University, who swung onto the last
I car of the train as il was pulling out
of the station, didn't get in on the
ribbon, and is still kicking. Dr.. Tight
forgot to bring his grip, being some
what rushed to catch the train, but
he brought plenty Of facts about the
University, which was what was
wanted.
From the capitol the Boosters
marched down to the plaza, where
they did some more hand shaking,
thente off 10 the Palace hotel, where
they had luncheon
