prepared By Deputy Marshal Galusha
proved just bit premature. and there
was fifteen minutes more of speech
making before the nominations We're
closed.
Albuquerque Claims Presented.
In presenting the claims of Albu-
querquc to the convention. A, l.. Me
Millen stated that cattlemen Of New
Mexico and Arizona are practically
without organization. If the associa-
ton had been confined to the place
where it was born. he said, it would
possess little power now. Extension,
he pointed out is what the organizl-
tion most needs, and if the association
would come to Albuquerque il would
reach not only New Mexico cattlemen,
but those in southern Colorado ana
western Arizona and that from 200
to 500 new members would be added
to the roster, representing many thou
sands Of cattle.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr..
McMillen was cheered vociferously
until the band interrupted with Dixie.
Felix MARTINEZ followed Mr. McMillen
and declared that going to Albuquer-
que was purely good business prop
ostiOn for the association. ~ know
Albuquerque, and ! know what she
can do for any one who goes there
said Mr.. MARTINEZ. He declared that
the Panhandle is no longer able to
handle the whole southwest, and that
an immense growth of membership
would result if the convention should
go to Albuquerque
An effort to compromise by naming
Fort Worth as the convention city
proved complete failure, and in the
final ballnting Fort Worth did not get
a single vote.
William Harrell, Of El Paso, was re-
elected secretary of the association.
Resolutions were adopted praising
Governor Mcdonald and the New
Mexico cattle sanitary board for the
quarantine against the foot and
mouth disease and urging all cattle
down.
