SADIE COMES BACK"
= Sadie, how do YOU feel?

O. Sadie, how do you feel?
A Well, you know l am girl and
they always feel good.
: O. l notice that the "Snooze"
keeps on harping about that election
contest between Judge Toombs and
Mr.. Vigil on the one side and G. c.
Smith and Serapio Miera on the other
side; what are the facts about that
contest?
A-The real facts are: That Mr.. vi
gil and Judge Tombs were beaten in
the election through trickery, and
they filed their contests strictly un-
der the laws of New Mexico, in order
that the true facts might be estab-
lished at the hearing of their contest.
Q-How was the hearing conduct
ed?
About like the hearing in any
case; both parties had their lawyers
and their witnesses, and all the testi-
mony was written down.
Q-Then, what was done with this
testimony
Att was sent to the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, and by
him turned over to the Committee on
Privileges ana Elections to sift out
the facts.
Q-What sort of a report of these
contests was made to the Legislature
A-report which found the grounds
of the contests to be true and favored
the seating of Mr.. Vigil and Judge
Toombs.
Q-Is there any public record of
the Legislative proceedings regard
these contests?
Ayes, full report of all the Leg
islature said and did in the case, can
be found in the House Journal of the
last Legislature, beginning at page 90
Q-Many people do not have the
House Journal, and for their benefit,
can you tell of some of the facts found
by the Legislature
A-The substance of the Legislative
findings was:
That Precinct is a Republican
precinct, and that the Demo-
cratic County Clerk of Union
County, through fraud and col
lusion with one of the Democratic
Judges of that precinct, failed
to have any ballot box for that
voting precinct.
2-That in the Republican Precinct
No. IA, the voting place was
changed from where it was orr
ginally fixed a distance of IL 1-2
miles, and that said change was
made "at the instance and re-
quest of *** Serapio Miera and
G. C. Smith"
3-That in the Republican Precinct
No. 20, the voting place was
changed a distance Of 8 or 8
miles.
THAT in Republican precinct No.
"a, the voting place was changed
a distance of 4 miles.
5-That after a voting place has
been once fixed, it is against the
law to change it.
Q-How did the Legislature find
that these several voting places were
changed "at the instance and request
of Mr.. Miera and Mr. Smith?
A-For the reason that Salome Gar
cia, chairman of the Commissioners
Court testified that his court made the
changes because Miera and Smith
wanted them made.

New Mexico Guards Make Good
Showing

"New Mexico has sufficient guards
men to muster in eleven companies OF
65 men each. We are about go men
short, but we hope to have complete
regiment in a few days"
Such was the declaration of Adult
ant General Harry T. Herring, of the
New Mexico National Guard, who is
back from the border to spend few
days here looking after certain details
of the guard
1t seemed to be the belief of Gen
eral Herring that the New Mexico
guard and the guardsmen of Arizona
and Texas, will be the first to go into
Mexico should the National Guard of
the United States have to be sent in
to that country, the border states tax
ing precedence because they had their
men mobilized and in service at the
border for weeks.
The guard as it now stands at the
New Mexico border is composed as
follows: II companies of 65 men, 715;
in battalion, 1873; officers, So; total 91C
men.

o-What do YOU think of the action

Q-What do you think of the action
Of the Legislature in this contest mat
ter?
Al consider it to be a we'll merited
rebuke of the political methods en-
ployed by the, then leaders of the De-
mocratic party in this County, and
that it will make for honest elections
and fair count in the futlre.
Q-What fixes the voting place III
each precinct?
A-The Commissioners Court.

strange language, but if such thing

would be in a L of a fix.
Q-What other contests do You know
about?
A-When Judge Toombs was elected
to the Legislature in 1911, the Demo-
Gratis contested him as soon as the
votes were counted-served the pa
pers on him in the night time-they
were in such a hurry to put him out.
Q-What was the result of this con-
test?
A-The Legislature could find no.
thing in the charges to base a report
on.
Q-How were Vigil and Toombs de-
feated?
A-According to the judgment of

an election in one Republican pre-
cinct, and unlawfully changing the
voting places in three other Republi-
can Precincts.
Q-How were they seated?

FL PasO, Texas, June 21.-Large
forces of American cavalry tonight
are making a sixty mile ride at break
neck speed to the rescue of their COM
rades in the Tenth regiment, who are
engaged in a terrific battle at great
odds with strong Carranza troops at
Carrizal, eighty-eight miles south of
Ell PasO, and who are in danger of an
Inhalation by superior forces.
At least forty of the American SOL
diers had been killed in the early
stages of the battle, large number
were wounded and seventeen were
taken prisoners and escorted to the
garrisOned town of Villa Ahumada,
ten miles from Carrizal.
ThruOut the region of Carrizal are
many thousand Carranza soldiers who
have been secretly concentrated in
that vicinity recently and these are be-
lieved to be hurrying forward to take
part in the engagement.
The ride of the American cavalry
tonight will go down in history as one
of the most brilliant events in the
records of the American army. The
starting points of the cavalry forces
that have been ordered to Carrizal are
not known here, as the exact location
of General Pershing's forces has been
kept secret, but it is estimated that
nearly all will have to ride fifty or six
ty miles to reach the battle ground.
With the American forces concentrat-
ing and the Carranza troops undOubt-
edly rushing to take part, the battle
may develop into one of immense
proportions lasting several days. 1t is
believed here that the troops station
ed at FL PasO will Immediately begin
a southwark movement, seizing Juar-
ez and then the Mexican railways.
