THE SENATORIAL ELECTIONS,

The presence Of Senator McCumber
and Congressman Gronna in the city
At the time of the assembling of the
legislators is due, not to any tear that
the republican members will not obey
the will of the people as expressed at
the primary election for choice of carl
didates for senator, but to a sense of
the courtesy due from the republican
candidates to be elected to the legisla-
tors who will carry OFT the will of
the people in a formal senatorial cleo
ton Both Senator McCumber and Mr..
Gronna will be busy with their duties
at Washington upon the reassembling OF
congress. and both will probably re-
turn to Washington as soon as the
formal republican Caucus has been held.
Mr.. McCumber will be elected by the
legislature for the six-year term begin
ming March 4 next, and Mr.. Gronra for
the balance of the term that would have
been filled by the late NJ n. Johnson
The legislature is required by federal
Statute to ballot for United States sem
ators on January II, but in the case Of
vacancy the legislature could prob
ably ballot on any day after their open
ing that might be agreed upon. 1t
seems likely, however. that both formal
elections will be held on the same day:
Mr.. Gronna's term will begin at once.
if he so desires, which would create a
vacancy in the congressional delegation
that would have to be filled by ap-
pointment. 1t may be. however. that
Mr.. Cronna will not qualify as senator
until the close of his term as congress
man, unless some party exigency should
arise to make his qualification at an
earlier date expedient. Until he quall-

Jim Grow Cars Degrading and Insult
This 'Jim-Crow' car system, So

that they remove the 'Jim-Crow' cars

Mrs. ]. B. Lott has returned after an

The Democrats of our territory favor
the initiative and referendum clause
written in our constitution. How Will
such measures effect the Negro and
Mexican citizens, after our new state
becomes overrun with white people
from Texas and Oklahoma? Judging
from the conduct of the Texans who
are now located in our larger cities,
both in New Mexico and Arizona, it is
best to leave the Democratic issues
out of the constitution. Are the Dem
ocrats consistent when they advocate
these measures in northern states?
Suppose the Negroes of the southern
states should send petition as they
do in Oregon, their criterion state with
a petition of only per cent of their
voters. Why their respective govern
ors would send for the soldiers, claim
