SUNDAY ........O OCTOBER IL, 1919
SENATOR FALLS BEREAVEMENT

The announcement contained in the
news dispatches yesterday that Mrs.
Carrie Everhart, daughter of Senator
and Mrs. A. B. Fall, had died at Carri-
zozo of influenza, that the senator's
three grandchildren, children of Mrs.
Fverhart, are critically i'll with the
disease, and that Mrs, L. Chase, anoth-
er daughter, is seriously i'll in a hospi-
tai at Alamogordo, coupled with the
fact that Jack Fail, only son of Sena-
tor and Mrs. Fan, died only q week
ago, will cause the sympathy of the
good people of New Mexico to so out
to this distinguished citizen and his
estimable wife in the dark hours OF
life through which they are passing.
1t is altogether improbable that the
senator will be able to take much part
in the coming campaign, and will have
to depend upon his numerous friends
throughout the state to fill the breach
caused by his absence from the stump
We believe, however, that there are
enough republican leaders in the state
who are interested in his return to the
senate to carry on the campaign In
his behalf and insure his election by a
large majority on November ..
As soon as the Liberty Loan cam
paign closes, republicans everywhere
,houI1 talyn IN tho fight in an pnpr.
getic manner. With Senator Fall una
BILE to participate in the state cam
paign it is necessary that others TAX
M the work and carry it forward
While it is realized that nobody car
fill his place on the stump, aggressive
and systematic work by all concerned
will insure his return to the senate OF
election day.
