In 1912 the Republican State
Senate, acting under the orders of
the Republican Bosses, unseated
AbelinO Romero, who had been
luly elected State Senator by the
people of SOcOrro county. He was
given 1913 votes, as against 1869
votes cast for A. G. Abeytia, his
Republican opponent, a majority
for Romero of one hundred and
twenty-four votes.
Abelino Romero was thrown out
without the shadow of an excuse
and without a hearing.
Why2
Because the Republican Bosses
wanted two-thirds Republican
majority in the Senate.
Why did they want this two
thirds majority9 Did they want
it in order to be able to pass good
and just lawsH
They did not. They wanted it
because they knew the Democratic
governor would veto Bad and I'm
just laws. They wanted it to en-
able them to pass Bad and Unjust
laws over the Democratic Cover
nor IS veto.
But their INSCRIPTIONS scheme
was frustrated by the fact that
they lacked sufficient Republican
strength in the House of Repre-
sentativcs. They were forced to
wait until the Second State Legis-
lature, in 1918.
At that session they went the
limit.
Multiplying the will of the people
as expressed at the polls, and VIC
lating all right and justice, they
threw out four duly.and honestly
elected Democratic representa-
tivcs.
They did this for the sole pur
pose of establishing a two-thirds
Republican majority in the House
IA majority to match that estab-
lished in the Senate in 1912. The
Senate in 1915 was the same as in
1912.

THE MAN OF PROMISES.

AS a campaign promiser II. o. Bur
som Is in class by himself
During campaign after campaign in
this state and territory Mr. Bursom
has been flooding New Mexico with
promises, He has promised roads and
bridges and buildings, dams and res
ervoirs. drainage and reclamation, ir-
rigation and sanitation, reformation
and appropriation, beneficent laws
enough to make a Utopia out of the
commonwealth, reduced taxation
curbed corporations, relief for the
toiler, prosperity for the farmer and
rancher, money in the bank for every
body, peace and Contentment and hap.

II isn't because Mr.. Bursom hasn't

ture than any other one man, with the
possible exception of Charles Springer
The bossism of these two celebrated
members of the third house, however,
doesn't generally come into conflict
1t has always been bosssm for the
benefit and in the interest OF the cor.
porations and the Republican office
grabbing ring. Mr. BursOm has been
IN a position generally to make legs
latures do just about what he wanted.
But he has never used this influence
for the purpose of redeeming any Of
his glittering and innumerable prom
lses.
Mr.. Bursoms road promises are
among his most familiar. There are
others still fresh in our minds.
Mr.. Bursom promised taxation re-
form previous to the last Legislature.
He then assisted the Legislature In
turning down a taxation reform bill,
a splendid up-to-date, effective law
drafted and introduced by Republi-
cans, and secured the passage of a
law which is not workable, and never
was intended to be workable. A law
was passed with Mr.. Bursom's active
assistance for the taxation of mine
corporations which is practically a
law for the benefit of mine corpora
tiOns.
Mr.. Bursom promises, but he never
performs.
During the campaign he promises
every conceivable measure for the re-
lief Of the taxpayers; when Mr.. Bur

Friends

It's hard to know who are your
friends, so many men have self
ish ends. | take a comrade to
my heart and feed him pie and
damson tart, and give him love
that's pure and deep. and let him
in my woodshed sleep. Then he
requests. in dulcet tones, that l
.hall lend him twenty bones. I'D
sladly lend you all you need" |
lay in answer, but, indeed, II.
E. OF L. has stripped me bare-I
haven't twenty bucks to spare. If
50 cents will help you out, you're
welcome to that much, old scout
but I've a wife and nineteen kids,
who all are needing shoes and
lids, and it's as much as | can do
to dig up for that loving crew."
And then my friend comes round
no more. to hang his bonnet on
the floor, and talk with me of
vital things, of sealing wax and
cats and kings. Instead, he roasts
me through the town, and tries to
give me punk renown, as being
one who is too tight to help a
comrade in plight. This sort of
thing one gets from friends, as
through this woozy world he
wends.
