Mills is much interested in the out
come of the local election tomorrow,
he took time this forenoon to speak
of his trip to Albuquerque and Las
Cruces, which as the press dispatches
stated, was a great ovation to the
chief executive. OF course, Governor
Mills hopes for the success of the Re
publican ticket tomorrow and makes
no bones about saying so. He consid-
cred his trip a most pleasant event in
his life. At Albuquerque, in addition
to the reception tendere ! him at the
Commercial Club, he addressed the
students at the University and heard
them give the Yale yell in his honor.
On Thursday evening, DR.. Robert
Smart gave a most recherche dinner
for him at which covers were laid for
twenty-four. At Las Cruces, on Fri
him was noteworthy. About five hun
dred men on horseback, the militia
company, a string of automobiles,
formed a part of a cavalcade mile
long that accompanied the governor
to the Hotel Don Bernardo. The re-
ception at the Agricultural College
was especially pleasant and the guest
of honor sat down to lunchean pre-
pared and served by the young ladies
of the Domestic Science course. The
young ladies certainly did credit to
their alma mater is the opinion of the
chief executive. He found the college
splendidly equipped but while it has
many fine buildings it still ought to
have more. Governor Mills and others
addressed the students after which
there was battalion drill. The re-
ception rendered the governor at Las
Cruces was attened by hundreds and
the visitor was much impressed by the
evident prosperity and intelligence of
the many who filed by, the beauty of
the women and aiertness of the chill
dren. In the evening at the Armory,
dance was given. Judge Frank w.
Parker entertained at dinner and the
governor was a guest at his house for
the night. From Las Cruces, Gov
ernor Mills made a brief business
trip. He visited the Ell Paso cement
plant, was shown the city from an
automobile and made a stop at the
Country Club. He found the Ell Paso
people much interested in the welfare
of New Mexico and believes that a
movement would find no opposition in
the Pass City. Governor Mills desires
to thank the people who showed him
SO many kindnesses and courtesies on
this trip and he returns home imbued
more than ever with the idea of the
greatness of this commonwealth and
the high standing of its people
