few have been here longer than

shown fondness for Santa Fe one
easily picks out the nimble figure Of

representative from Willard Tor
rance county. Then there is John B.
Burg, of Albuquerque, who occupies
the influential position OF chairman
of the ways and means committee
and who is fluent speaker and has
the air of sincerity. Another figure
seen was that of W. e. Rogers, the
intellectual representative from Ros-

every bill at the last session and a
legislator who speaks well, too. The
man who has been trying to get a
new county carved out of Union and

mighty nice fellow. J. d. Casados,
