of Eastern New Mexico, especially in
Roosevelt county, are organizing for
the purpose of polling more than the

statehood, that coveted prize, depends
entirely on the reelection of William

held in Clovis, last Friday night, at
which time a Taft-Andrews Repub'i.
can Club was organized with an initial
membership of thirty-five. While it is
true that there is some dissatisfac-
ition over postoffice matters in this
town, yet the members of this new
Organization feel that all differences
lof this character should be laid aside
until after the Republican ticket has
been successfully elected. 1t is safe
Ito say that much good and energetic
work will be done between now and
IelectiOn day.
