What Mr.. TallmadQe
Has Done For
New Mexico

We have said that Mr.. Tall
madge has done more for New
Mexico than any other man in
public or private life. In max
ing that statement we are sure
of the facts, facts based on fig
ures and knowledge which
thousands of New Mexicans
possess = OF his record in the
development Of our state.
Through Mr.. Tallmadge's
own efforts, New Mexico's
fame as a home state and Of her
great possibilities has been
spread throughout Alid-.Amer-
lea and East.
Through Mr.. Tallmadge's
own efforts, there have come
into our state thousands of
most desirable citizens, citizens
who have taken a stake in the
country and who were needed
in its progress. immigration
statistics are the basis for this
statement.
Through Mr.. Tallmadge's
own efforts, the capital - mil
lions and millions - which
New Mexico's development re-
quired, upon which much of
the prosperity of her citizens
depended, has flowed into our
state = and continues to flow.
Through Mr.. Tallmadge's W eff
forts, the fight for New Mexico's
rights to federal aid in her reclama-
ton and drainage projects has been
carried far toward success. With
Mr.. Tallmadge in the United States
Senate, his knowledge of the SUBJ
ject and his personal ability will in
sure, we believe, the contamination
of his efforts in behalf Of the projects.

ries in proportion to the amount Of
cash turned in by each; eight hun.
dred dollars for the Knights OF

fifty dollars for the Salvation Army.

the credit OF its local Red Gross.

and in others. II was thought that
the sum would about cover the in
debtedness presented.
Two Other Campaigns
The two other contributions were
apportioned according to the size Of
the drive. The knights OF Colum-
bus asked for thirty million dollar,
for the country he Salvation Army
asked for live million The amount
for the Knights of Columbus was
determined by analysis OF tn Red
Gross figures, and the Salvation Army
was taken as one-sixth Of that sum
The matter OF registration OF all
loafers from the ages OF IS TO 60
was referred to the Lick the Kaiser
Club Labor Committee. to which was
added Milton Smith. another mem
