IN SENATE OF UNITED STATES

ING JoURNAL)

H. m o, Bursum. He is men,
NSy the committee on public
So and surveys,of which l am
So ;man, and in connection with
. work of this committee he has
A. Jwn that he is thoroughly con-
$ Tsant and sympathetic with the
roblems that are peculiar to the
western and southwestern group of
states, of which New Mexico is one.
He is an indefatigable worker
in behalf Of the interests of his
state and has justly earned the
confidence of his colleagues on the
committee and in the senate. The
people of New Mexico would do
themselves an injury not to return
Senator Bursum to the senate.
There should be no hesitancy re-
garding his reelection, and. from
all reports there will be none"
Senator Arthur Capper, of Kan
sas, is probably the best known of
the agricultural group in the sem
ate. which has been very promi-
nent in getting through legislation
of vital Importance to the farmer
and livestock interests as well as
getting assistance for the agri-
cultural interests through various
executive agencies and through the
federal reserve bank. Senator Cap
per. in speaking of Senator Bur-
sum, said:
mo man ever made friends
more rapidly than Senator Holm
Bursum in Washington. His asso-
ciates in the senate like him for
his frankness and his affability,
and his willingness to help others.
They give him credit for knowing
the great west as few other men.
No man in the senate has taken a
greater interest in the farmer and
stockman. This congress has en-
acted more legislation for the ben
fit of the producers of the coun-
try than any other in our history,
When Senator Bursum came to
Washington he Immediately inter-
ested himself in all these measures
for the farmers and stockmen and
he was very helpful in securing
himself to be the loyal friend Of
the soldiers of the late war, giving
his best support to every measure
that would help the veterans. Sem
ator Bursum has certainly earned
the endorsement Of reelection
by the voters Of New Mexico, and ]
hope he will be returned by fine
majority"
One of the most important sem
ate committees is that of senate
military affairs, of which Senator
Bursum is a member an assign
ment which in itself is a very great
honor to n new senator, because 1t
is one eagerly sought for by great
number. Senator James W. Wads-
WORTH Jr., chairman of the senate
committee on military affairs,
said:
81 have had an especially good
opportunity TO come into contact
with Senator Bursum. He and /
serve together on the military COM
mittee of the senate. The commit
tee meets constantly and discusses
matters of great Importance. While
the senator has been with us but
a short time he has already i'm
pressed the committee most favor
ably with his patriotism, his sound
judgment and the strength OF his
convictions. He takes a real and
legitimate interest in the problems
of our national defense. He is of
especial assistance to the commit
tee through his knowledge of the
Mexican border conditions and the
needs of the military service in hat
part of the country. Then. too. his
