Veterans Deplore
Attempt to Relittle
His Work
DESERVES GREAT CREDIT
G. K. Warren Post of Albu-
querque Passes Stirring
Resolution of Praise.

There is loyalty and patriotism in
the Grand Army of the Republic of
New Mexico and where there is one
migrate, one crank or one member
who does not appreciate the benefits
derived from the insistent and con-
sistent work of Delegate w. H. An
drews for the veterans in this terri
tory, and for their widows and Or
phans, there are SO who are grateful
and appreciative.
1t is gratifying that this is the
case and shows that the members of
the Grand Army of the Republic are
as good, true and fair-minded citizens
as they were forty-five years ago
when they courageously and patriot
ically took up arms for the safety and
indivisibility of the Union and went
to many bloody field of battle, to
give their lives, their health, their
well being and their limbs for the
good of the country and to preserve
the Union.
Some weeks ago the New Mexican
published resolutions adopted unani-
mously by the New Mexico Encamp-
ment of the Grand Army veterans in
which the thanks and the gratitude of
the membership of that great body
were extended to Delegate w. H. An
drews for his timely, successful and
efficient assistance in securing speedy
and prompt recognition of pension
claims by veterans and those depend
ent upon them.
To these resolutions, a member of
the Grand Army Of the Republic un-
der the heading I'VE Object pub
lished lengthy, unreasonable and un-
fair screed in the Albuquerque Morn
ing Muckraker Journal, the organ of
the muckrakers. slanderers and liars
of the territory of New Mexico, regard
less of politics. In answer to this
abominable act, the George X. Warner
Post No. S, of the Grand Army of the
Republic, located at Albuquerque,
passed the following unanimous reso-
luton which the New Mexican pub
fishes that the people might know and
that it may be established that the
Grand Army of the RepuDnc as a
whole, stands for right, justice, decen-
cy and recognition of the services of
public officials in behalf of it's mem
bers, especially Delegate w. H. An
drews.
The resolution in question reads
The Resolution.
I'VE as members of the Grand Army
and soldiers, who fought in the Civil
War, do heartily protest against the
spirit and language of an article that
appeared in the Morning Journal, un
der the title "We Object"
"The author seems to be trying to
strike Mr.. Andrews through the
Grand Army of the Republic. He be-
ing a member of the Grand Army OF
the Republic and having knowledge
of it's workings, should certainly know
that anything bearing the stamp Of
politics or religion cannot be dis
cussed in the Grand Army of the Re
public. So you see by this, that
when he brands the resolution thank
ing Senator Andrews for his excellent
work in behalf of the Grand Army oi
the Republic, he simply misconstrues
the purpose of the resolution. The
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic, who are in good standing
should be gentlemen enough to tell
the truth. We think our intelligence
on an average, is equally as good and
certainly on par with that of the
author of that article.
"The author of the resolution Of
thanks to Mr. Andrews is a staunch
Democrat and gentleman, and he is
now a delegate from New Mexico te
the Democratic convention at Denver
Any soldier, who received assistance
and aid through Mr.. Andrews faithful
work and untiring efforts at Washing
ton, should appreciate and thank him
for 1t. Members of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, whose comrades have
received benefits at the hands of Mr.
Andrews, should also be thankful. The
least we can say for the comrade who
does not appreciate and give Mr.. An
drews credit for the good work ht
has done for us is that he is very un
grateful.
"The author of the article entitled
I'VE Object" is not loyal to the Crane
Army Of the Republic, hiC country o.
his fellowman.
