It's funny campaign. The Demo-
Gratis want Taft, and Republicans
want Simmons. The logic is, Sim
mons is not Democrat and Taft is
not a Republican.
Wilson says he is a Progressive,
Teddy says he is Progressive, Judge
Clark says he is a Progressive. Then
here comes Taft and squalls, me
too Yet some want to draw the
line on progressive" Fools are not
all dead yet.

Judge Clark and Mr.. Ward spoke

done anything for the party, for that

eventualities. but after a talk over
the long distance telephone with the
sheriff of Dona Ana county, one OF
the most active and efficient peace Of
ficers in New Mexico, he was con-
vinced that these rumors are mere
idle talk without much substance. He
too had heard that the refugees were
holding secret "juntas," were arming
themselves and would do all the dam
age they could in case of intervention
before stealing back over the border
into Mexico and therefore, out of an
abundance of caution, there should be
meeting of minds among the legisla-
tors so that prompt action could be
taken in case of an emergency and
that the needed funds are made avail
able so as to secure prompt action
in case of intervention. But he be-
lieved that this could be done in an
hours time by the legislature and
that the Adjutant General would have
the National Guard ready to go to the
border within "a hours notice. 1t
would be unwise, however, to take the
initiative before there is any real dam
ger
Representative Moreno, on the 9TH
er hand, believed that the danger i'm
pending had substance to it. In case
of Intervention something must be
done. There are many refugees along
the line who would take up arms
against the United States. The small
settlements need protection and it is
certainly the duty of the state to pro-
tect its citizens.
Representative Mullens declared
that there was law and order as ar
rayed against irresponsible agitators
on both sides of the boundary, and
that in Mexico, Americans are to be
blamed for fomenting trouble to a
large extent. But if we can do this
without creating war talk we should
prepare for emergencies.
Senator Laughren would not take
the alarmist view. He had Just been
home to Deming and found everything
peaceable and quiet and no disposition
anywhere to make trouble. Upon his
suggestion, Senator Clark sent to the
chairman's table two kilograms, one
from Senator Walton to Sheriff J. H.
McGrath and the other from McGrath h
to Walton. They were read as fol

Chamber OF Commerce as a site for a
military reservation. This deed was
given in 1898, but was never recorded.
The Road to Taos Assured.
A letter from B. G. Randall, presid-
ent of the Taos Valley Bank, stated
that Taos county was willing to spend
$4,000 for road to the borders of the
county 10 connect with the the pro.
posed Santa te county road, if the
state would furnish like amount.
This matter has been laid before the
governor and assurance given that the
state would furnish its share of funds
for the construction Of the proposed
road. This practically assures the
building of a much needed highway in

natter was referred to a committee,
appointed by the chairman, consisting
Of Judge E. C. Abbott. A. B. Renehan
and District Attorney Alexander Read
This committee was also instructed to
take up the matter of good roads with
San Juan county.
A resolution supporting the bill in

Former Governor L. Bradford
Prince brought Up the matter of the
Scenic Highway and urged the taking
Of Immediate steps looking toward the
completion of the great New Mexico
scenic attraction. He pointed out that
the legislature now in session was
very favorable to the project and that
legislation assuring the completion Of
the work, now far advanced, could
easily be obtained. Together with a
first class tourist hotel and such uni
que attraction the transcontinental
stream of tourists could be diverted
into Santa Fe, said Mr.. Prince. The
matter was referred TO a committee
consisting of Former Governor Prince,
