made a few remarks explaining his position on

WILLIAM B.

The Congressional Record says: During the time Mr.. Walton has
been the Representative from New Mexico, he has introduced to-
tai of TWENTY bills and resolutions. Five of these measures were
for pensions or increase of pension, some of which have been re-
ported favoraby by the House Committee on Pensions, but ALL
are still pending before Congress. Six relief bills for individuals
we're introduced by Mr.. Walton, two to correct military records,
two in connection with making proof on honeSted entry and two
for claims by private citizens against the Government. Two relief
bills received favorable consideration.

VOTES:

AS the greater part of the Legislation enacted
during the time Mr.. Walton has been a member
Of the House, has been termed War Lcgisla-
ton, it is assumed that he supported whole
heartedly the necessary war measures and as
many of the measures were passed without a roll
call, no attempt has been made to give his yea
and nay votes. On the legislation regarding
Prohibition, which is of interest to the people of
New Mexico, when the House adopted the Sen
ate amendment to the Agricultural Bill, provid-
ing nationwide wartime prohibition effective
July lst, 1919, the vote in the House stood vi
for and "a against. Mr.. Walton was absent.
