the wisdom Of The law giving congress
power to absolutely control legisla-
ton enacted by territorial 1egisla-
lures.
Every one knows what the influ-
ences were thai passed h railroad
damage suit law. Everybody knows
who the men are who made it posi-
Bile for such a bin to be passed. Do
the people of New Mexico want to
go on ~entrusting control of their leg
i~slative acts to men whose work has
to be annulled by congress, and who
give to congressman the right to say
that the people of New Mexico are
not fit to govern themselves?
What a beautiful argument for
statehood it is to present to congress
erately elect to the legislature men
who allow themselves to be made the
tools of gangsters absolutely in the
control of railroad corporations and
railroad agents, and who willingly
lend themselves to the passage of vi
ctOuS loSlSIaIlOn.
Is it any wonder tnat statehood is
slow in coming so long as men like
these dominate the conduct of the
public business?
How can the Republican party go
before the people of New Mexico, tne
intelligent, thinking people Oh New
Mexico, with any chance of
having as heir leaders men who de-
liberately pass laws which can be
called UP in the national congress
and pronounced vicious2
Congress mas applied the slipper to
the gan who controlled this territory
in 1908. 1t has been slow in coming,
but it has m just as, slowly and
surely, the people of New Mexico
are moving forward to the point
where they will demand decent me-
thods and decent men in the control
Of the public business.

THE CONGRESSIONAL SLIPPER

From Albuquerque Journal.
The broad sole of the congressional
slipper has eel applied with more
of the gang who controlled the New
Mexico legislature in 1903, who con-
trolled it in lesser degree in 1905, and
who did what they could to obstruct
decent legislation in 1907; the gang
which is still trying to III the Re-
publican party in New Mexico for it's
own private benefit. Congress has
passed a resolution declaring. void
that act of the legislature of 1903,
relating to the trial of personal inju-
charge of the resolution, said of this
law that instead of being an act to
regulate h law and procedure in
certain cases, it was an act to pre-
juries received in accidents OR other
wise Upon railroads within the terri
tory of New Mexico"
The terms of this act are very ia
miliar to the people Of New Mexico.
They lave heard a lot about it since
it's passage, and they know pretty
much what it means, and why and
by whom it was passed. The author
of the bill, who was a member of the
legislature of 1908, Mr.. w. A. Haw-
Ell Paso and Southeastern railroad
interests, has tried to defend the act
upon the ground that under the old
procedure the railroads were subject
to grave injustice because personal
injury cases could be carried into the
Texas courts and tried there. The
effort to make a good law out of a
bad one, however, was never very sat
isfactory. No n particularly blam-
ed Mr.. Hawkins for defending the
the railroad he represents and to get
all he can for it. The people have.
however, blamed the bosses Who al
lowed themselves and their men to
be used for the purpose of passing
the law, and who allowed their men
to be used In the legislature of 1907
to prevent the passage of a bill re-
pealing the act. This repeal bill, it
will be recalled, actually passed in
the upper house. and was defeated
in the lower house by that more or
less famous bunch OF trailers known
the swift" silly or sorry" sew
enteen. as inclination i~nclines.
1t should be recalled in this con-
to the credit Of the then gov
ernor of New Mexico, NJ A. Otero,
he vetoed this bill and that the
had to pas it owe his veto.
But here is the vital point in this |
matter: In referring TO this Law, Con-
gresham Birdsan said that its pass
age by the legislature demonstrated |

with Apologies to "Independenee Dsy.D
There was tumult in Our City,
U mean our 'one-horse town.

Walking restless up and down.

Where they 'parleyed' each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples
With the earnestness of speech.

"Have you voted?" "Oh you snooze!'

All that hot election day,
And we list to some exclaiming,
"l'm a Hid man"-an d'Bomyap'
But they're others who can shout some,
Shout it loud and shrill and strong,
'1'm Hill man, not Hid man.
Vote for Schwalm and McRae."
At five p. m. this uproar lessened,
For the polls had shut up .tight!'
Anxious faces scanned the inspectors,

That on board the ship OF lection
You would sink and sure be wrecked. "

Full and square up to the mark,
Suppose you're joshed by some young

GREAT DOINGS
ELECTION DAY.
Citizens Ticket With But One Of
Two Exceptions Wins In the
Battle of Votes.

Tuesday the citizens of Baraga ex-
perienced one of the most closely con-
tested elections which has been held
within the township in many years.
Two tickets graced the voting ma
chine, viz: the Farmers and the Citi-
zens' Union, the former being headed
by Fred w. Schwalm and the latter by
John H. Hid.
During the time previous to the
eventful day both parties worked dill
gently in the interest of their respect
i've tickets, and by Tuesday all the
ground had been carefully gone over,
therefore very little electioneering was
done during the day. There was, how
ever, considerable enthusiasm on the
part of many but the real outburst did
not come until the returns had been re-
ceived.
At about six o'clock the final result
was known and for several hours pan
demonium reigned, it having been
learned that the Citizens ticket had
won, and the supporters lost no time in
expressing their feelings.
The first expression of enthusiasm
was the decorating of the front of w.
C. Birk 8 store with bunting, Japanese
lanterns, ETC., in recognition of his
election as clerk, who with A. McRea
from the Farmers ticket were the
choice of the people for certain offices
on the Citizens.
At this point campaign bands, two
in number, were organized and sere-
nades were rendered as many of the
successful candidates ss possible.
This jollification 1.,tended well into
the small hours of the night and toward
morning an occasional faint huzzah
warned the inhabitants that one of the
most interesting elections had come to
an end.
A summary of the vote may be found
on page one of this issue.
