We point with pride to the career in the United State Senate
OF our distinguished citizen Senator Albert B. Fall. At all times
Senator. Fall has not only carefully guarded and protected the in
terest of our state and people, but his counsel and cooperation have
been invaluable to tho country at large. Senator Fall has been
open and fearless in his advocacy of principals of right and justice
and in his denunciation of ineHiciency and incompetency wherever
found in the prosecution of the war, and initiating the same with
for the conspicuous part he has taken in putting the country upon
an efficient basis and particularly for introducing the bill changing
the draft age to include men from Is to IS years of age and in
securing for boys between the ages of Is and q to homestead rights.
He openly and fearlessy comdemed the statement of Senator Jones
to the effect that such boys would be used to defraud the govern
ment by designing persons desiring to obtain large bodies of land.
We commend the action of Senator Fall for his prompt and suc-
cessful effort in preventing the extension of Indian reservations in
this state, especially the Navajo reservation which now includes a
large portion Of Mckinley and San Juan Counties, which extension
laws of our country, and we heartily approve of the amendment
adopted by Congress through the efforts of Senator Fall prohibit
ing future extensions of such reservations unless the same is done
by Act of Congress.
We heartily endorse the administration of II able and eff
cient war governor, Washington E. Lindsey, under whose admins
tration the resources and man-power of the State have been wisely
and effectively coordinated. modified, and used for our countrys
defense. and under whose careful guardianship the public revenues
have been wisely and economically administered. With his earnest
cooperation and approval the last two sessions Of our Republican
