Prince stated that the committee OF
resolutions had met but had not fun.
prepared a report as it seemed tha
the county of Dona Ana was not rep
resented thereon. Colonel K. T.
/ rWitchell then moved that the Dom
Ana delegation be seated in the conVeu
tion. 1t was at this point that th'
fireworks began. one Of the delegate
seconded Mr. TWitchell's motion, an,
MIR. McMllen asked to he heard.
Il think there should be some on
portunity for remarks upon that sub

to the convention. 1t seems to me tina
this is question that interests partic
ularly the Rio Grande valley and II.
tributaries NORTH OF the Elephant Butt,
dam There can't be any question
about the feeling of the people soutl
Of the Elephant Butte dam upon this
proposition. The interests of these
people are directly involved in this
question. We know from the actor
that they have taken right along that
they favor the building of the Ele-
phant Butte dam and that they favor
taking ell the water that is now un-
appropriated north Of the Elephant
Butte dam. This convention was call

ment of the people of that portion of
tho Rio Grande valley which lies north
ot the Elephant Butte dam and it is
not fair or Just Chat any one from Las
Vegas. or san Miguel county or any
one south of the Elephant Butte dam
should participate and determine what
the people north Of the Elephant
Suite dam in the Rio Grande valley
should do We are perfectly willing
for the people south of the Elephant
Butte dam to take such action as they
soc fit but If we ARE looking after our
terests AZ all II is certainly not for
other parts Of this valley or other
parts Of this territory to say what our
sentiment shan be. The rest of the
territory has perfect right to take
such action as they tl1ink is 10 their
interests. but l deny their risht to say
what that portion of lhe Rio Grando
yullcy north Of the Elephant Butte
dam should take ana fer that reason

action of this convention be confined
to those who represent that portion of
tue Rio Glande valley ana its tribu-
tarcs lying north of the Elephant
Butte dam That was the original
purpose of this convention and it
