ROBSON FOR
CO. COMMISSIONER
LOrdsburg Pioneer Will be Candi-
date for Nomination on the
Republican Ticket

John Robson, pioneer cattleman
of southern Grant county and well
known Lordsburg citizen, has an
nounced himself as a candidate
for county commissioner from the
third district on the Republican
ticket, subject to the action of the
Republican county convention to
be held in Silver City, Monday
afternoon.
Mr.. Robson is especially quail
fled for this position and has hun
dreds of friends who are advo-
eating his candidacy. He is one
of Grant county's most successful
business men, and would be most
efficient in the office of county
commissioner. Mr.. Robson is a
trustee of the newly incorporated
town of Lordsburg and is a direc-
tor of the First National Bank Of
this city. He is one of the first
settlers of Lordsburg, coming
here before the advent of the
Southern Pacific and a water
tank.
Mr.. Robson has been associated
with big business and small bust
ness alike and is a man of excep-
tional ability, believing in fair
play. His friends stands ready to
support him in all parts of the
county, providing he is nominat-
ed.

Walton for Congressman

1--WE want Waltonl" was the
war-cry of the Democrats in en-
dorsing their leader for congress-
man on the Democrat state ticket.
A flowery resolution was passed
lauding the Hon. William b. and
recommending him as the logical
candidate for the congressional
nomination.
The Albuquerque Morning Jour
nal has the following to say of Sen
ator Walton:
Mr.. Walton is considered almost
as certain for the nomination for
the lower house as Mr.. Jones is
for the senate. Democrats ar
que that not only is he entitled to
the nomination by reason of his
ability and marked party services,
but that the logic of the situation
demands that he be named. 1t is
no secret that the action of the
Republicans at Santa Fe in nom
mating Gregory Page for treasur-
err over w. d. Murray, of Silver
City, has left a very sore spot in
the ranks of the Grant county Re
publicans, who feel that Murray
was entitled to the place. Muir
ray and Walton, though opponents
in politics, are without doubt the
two strongest men in public life
in Grant county, if not in all south
western New Mexico, and it is be-
lieved that the slight to MURRAY
will result in tremendous addi-
tion to the Democratic vote in
that section if the other Grant
county favorite son, Billy" Wal
ton, is named for a place on the
ticket.

The railroads have been too con-
scientiously law abiding to exchange
a mileage book for it's value in news
paper advertising, explaining to the
publishers that they must adhere to
the strict ruling of the interstate
commission. Yet two railway systems
now under investigation, 1t appears,
have issued 22,SOO passes during one
year. The passes went to judges, leg
islators and others who might be
helpful" to the railroad. The only
explanation seems to be that rail-
road managers recognize that editors
cannot be bought with a pass, but
they are willing to take chance on
judges, Legislators, etc.

Mrs. Park Trammell Describes
Grounds of the Executive Mansion

and on both sides OF the mansion the
trellis is now being entwined by
vines of pink Cherokee roses, a beau
tiful and unique flower presented
complimentary to the mansion by the
Glen Saint Mary Nurseries.
In keeping with the size of the
house the grounds are large. There
are still left several large pines, and
they add somewhat a majestic touch.
We have succeeded in getting vista
ria vines to make friends with near
ly all these tall and stately pines
and in the springtime the effect has
amply repaid our efforts.
Besides over two hundred rose
bushes, covering fully thirty va
rieties, we have in and about the
grounds some sage palms, palmetto,
kumquats, arbor vitae. spirae, and
heavenly bamboo. In this "circie"
in front of the mansion
a large Gamma occupies the center,
and surroundings of China asters
and saliva (or pansies) are grouped
in with border Of violets.
We have some beautiful Easter Ill
les nearly ready to bloom and there
can be found in proper groupings
and clusters, narciusus, jonquils,
daffodils, nasturtiums. verbena and
Shasta daisies. There is a fine bed
of golden glow which brightens up
the lawn in the fall and a row Of
California peoples are gaily nod
ding their heads this spring through
the ornamental iron fence dividing
the front lawn from the street. Be-
tween my main rose garden and
trellis on the south side of the man
sion is row of sweet peas that is
furnishing us now with great va
rieties of color and luxuriant bou-
quets to alternate with the roses
that we have in such abundance.
The mansion was given a new
coat OF paint last year and we hope
with the earnest efforts we have put
forth to make the grounds attrac-
tive that the former disappointment
sometimes expressed at the location
of the mansion will not be heard SC
much, for while the location is
rather far from the center OF the
, city. yet it has its compensations In
