number of things. all more or less dis
agreeable. He said the resolution did
not exclude the paper but only the
representative, and that he hoped the
paper would send a representative To
Santa Fe who is reliable.
This and somewhat more, Mr.. Holt
said. indicating that the reports of his
doings in the legislature. which have
been given TO the people of New Mex
leo. have not exactly pleased him. al
though he says he does not resent fair
criticism
The scene was an interesting one,
and showed more plainly than has
any other incident of this session, how
keenly alive are the members of the
machine to the danger of allowing the
people to know exactly what they are
trying to do.
Mr.. Ruppe spoke briefly against
the resolution. and Mr.. Holt asked
him if he had not warned the repre-
sentative of the Morning Journal
about printing things about the mem
bers of the house Ruppe said that
he had. He did not say just what
things he had warned the correspon-
dent about printing. and it is noticed
that Mr.. Holt did not press him for
accurate information. Mr.. Mullins, of
Chaves county. objected to the house
advertising the Morning Journal ana
itself at the same time.
ANY correspondent has right
here" said MIR. Mullins. and IL any
one publishes an untruth there is a
recourse at law
The seven men who voted against
the resolution were Abbott, of ColfaX.
Walters, Ruppe, Lucero, Mullins,
HudSpeth and Moran. These are the
seven men who have stood through
out the session against the dictation
of the machine and who have re-
fused to be driven ahead of the band
wagon by the gentleman from Dona
Ana county. 1t is noticeable that not
a single one Of the lies. misrepresen-
tations. ISLANDERS and other things to
which Holt referred today were clted
for the benefit of the house.
The action of today was contem-
plated two weeks ago when Mr.. Hot
first began to come into the lime
light as the house leader of the Bur
sum campaign 1t is simply an effort
to frighten the correspondent of the
Morning Juurnal, into suppreSsng the
complete report of the doings of this
assembly. The incident has been ac-
cepted in Santa Fee as somewhat
convincing exhibition of the fear Nlf
the machine of any plain, straight
forward discussion of their course I'm
this legislature. And because of this
fear inspiring the resolution the mat
ter has attracted more attention than
It would otherwise have done.
