4 Gard to Owners
Of Rural Telephone Lines

Weare anxious 10 see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with us are kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the
owners of rural lines are responsible for their upkeep,
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require a thorough overeauling occa-
sionally If the best service is to be obtained. We
recommend that every line connected with US be
overhauIed at least once a year, and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small, and this cost will be more than offset by the
improved service.
If the owners Of rural telephone lines in this Sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their service, we
will appreciate their talking the matter over with our
Manager or writing US fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your lire.

One of the strong points about the
new registration regulation is that
every voter in the city of Pensacola
will have to re-register. The law
makes this positive, and in all cities
of over 10000, this will have to be
done.
Another new feature OF the regis
tration law is that there viii be four
books for every precinct. The law re
quires- that, during the term of the
precinct registration officers, that pre-
cinct registration be done by the reg
istration officer, by any and all who
so request it. This means that four
books will be needed for every pre-
cinct.

Why New Mexico Should
Elect Jones

H.1
New Mexico should elect and will
elect Hon. Andrieus "A. Jones Of
Las Vegas as her United States
senator because he represents the
highest and best type Of New Mex
leo citizenship.
New Mexico will be proud to
send A. a.. Jones to represent her
in the greatest law,making body Of
the world because she believes that
he has earned the right to be called
the First Citizen Of New Mexico.
a brilliant lawyer; a successful
federal prosecutor; a banker,
stock grower, capitalist, empire
builder, public servant and plain
citizen Of. conspicuous and unstain-
ed integrity; and a party leader
whose clean partisanship, clear men
tai grasp Of party principles, wise
counsel and magnetic personality
set him head and shoulders above
the ruck of average politicians" /;
a. a. Jones has risen to his high
place in the minds and hearts Of
the people Of his state by reason Of
brains, industry and character. His
honors have come unsought, the I'M
evitable result of ability that could
not escape recognition.
Mr.. Jones is not only an exam
pie Of what we like to think is typi
cal and representative New Mexico
manhood; he is al integral part Of
New Mexico. Thirty years. close.
contact with every phase of the
slow and struggling growth Of the
territory and the rapid advance
ment which followed statehood have
fitted him as no other mar to be
the spokesman and the advocate
for New Mexico's people; to take
the lead in solving their varied
problems of development and econ
omic progress. His keen insight
and vigorous, practical common
sense made his administration of
the Office Of first assistant secretary
of the interior rebound immensely
to the benefit of the people of the
entire west. Mr.. Jones' splendid
training and experience made him
ready for that job; his experience
there has more than completed his
readiness to step into the position
of larger trust and responsibility.
MI. Jones is big man in the best
western sense Of that term. He has
fully demonstrated that he possess
es the quality of real craftsmanship.
Loyal to his party, his vision is not
limited by his political affiliations.
A lifelong Democrat, his pre-emi
nent fitness for the Office to which
he has been nominated was instantly
conceded by leaders Of the opposite
political faith. The strongest OBJ
lection which a Republican can
bring against him is hal he is al
Democrat.
New Mexico will honor herself
before the nation in honoring A.
Jones with a United States sem
atorship. For the country has be-
acquainted with MI. Jones
since he became connected with the
family Of the president at /
Washington; and it will fit its esti- 1
mate of Mr.. Jones to the state /

his character and career. {
