JOHN 7. ADAMS IS
Named SUCCESSOR
TO WILL S. HAYS
Iowa Man Is Chosen Head Of Repub.
lican Committee - Convention
Representation Is Changed.

Washington, June 9 - Election of
John T. Adams of Dubuque, Ia, as
Chairman to succeed Postmaster Gen.
eral Hays whose resignation was
formally announced, and adoption of
a new basis of representation at ma
tional conventions, resulting in a fur
Their cut in the number of delegates
from the South, marked the meeting
Wednesday of the Republican National
Committee. Mr.. Adams, who was Vice
Chairman, was succeeded in that Office
by Ralph E. Williams of Portland, Ore.
Mrs. LEONARD G. Woods, of Pittsburgh,
was elected Second Vice Chairman, an
Office created by committee action in
recognition of the women membership
in the party.
The change in representation based
on the Republican votes Of the last
election reduced by twenty-three the
number of delegates who were accred-
tied from the Southern states to the
Chicago convention last June. This
represents a cut of II per cent. and
makes total cut Of 40 per cent. in the
number of delegates from those states
since the 1912 convention.
Under the new plan Of apportion-
ment, the next national convention
will be made up of 1,037 delegates,
fifty-three more than the last, unless
there are great changes in the state
votes of last fall, upon which the cal
culation was made.
The old system allowed for one dele
gate from each Congressional district,
but under the new plan district must
have cast $500 Republican votes in
the last preceding election before it
may send delegate to the convention.
To have two district delegates there
must have been cast 10000 Republican
votes, or a Republican Representative
must have been elected to Congress
Under the former plan 1900 votes gave
two delegates.
Provision is also made in the new
plan for the seating of two additional
Delegates-at-large from each state
carried at the last preceding election
by the Republicans.
The Southern states, II was an
nounced, are affected as follows under
the new plan:
Arkansas, increased 1; Florida, in
creased 2; Georgia, reduced Z; Louisi-
ana reduced 3; Mississippi, reduced
8; South Carolina, reduced Z; Texas,
reduced 2; Virginia. increased 1. The
representation of North Carolina and
Alabama remain the same. Mr.. Howell
said that the net result was that those
states, unless changes come In the vot-
ing. would send 144 delegates to the

RAINBOW CHASERS

Oldtimers who headed the Klondikc gold rush in 1896 hold q re-
union In Dawson. city Of the far-north Canadian Yukon. They clc.,
the twentyshth anniversary Of the first rich strike of klondke'
gold IN Bonanza creek.
There was adventure for you-tbs only really big gold strike
since the Forty Miners went overland in prairie schooncrs 10 Cali
fornia.
Thousands persisted in the Yukon SHOWS, seeking gold.
Yet the greatest amount of the yellow metal ever taken out OF
ihc Klondike IN u single year was 22O00000 in 1900
Klondike took more in human life than it gave in wealth.
Generally it's that way with rainbow chasing. IL costs more
than it's worth.
The old9timc 'sonr-dough' prospeetors, celebrating in Dawson.
must speak in hushed voices about "Skookum Jim Mason.
Skookum Jim, a Siwash Indian, discovered the gold fields of KlaB
dixie.
Prospecting with his brother, "Cuhus Charlie and with ISL
wash George Carmack, Skookum Jim. while his companions slept,
went down to a creek. by am old birch tree, and PANIED a handful Of
gold from The gravel In a few minutes.
The world went gold mad when the news travelled out.
Skookum Jim took a steamer TO Seattle and spent 100000, buy.
ing everything that caught his eye.
Five years ago, this dscovercr of the Klondike died a paupcr. lie
was a rainbow chaser.
As in all gambling games, as in all rainbowchasing, the major
hy Of The Klondike godseekers came home broke.
Ponderng that, you reflect that rainbow-chasing rarely pays.
The best opportunities are at home-rght here in Albuquerque
There's further food for thought, in that time has shown there
is a thousand times the wealth in the fms, salmon. timber and oil Of
Alaska and the Yukon than there ever was in gold
That's the way IN Albuquerque. Many seek gold-the Easy
money. But the real wealth is in hard work, useful service and the
unromantic profitable necessities of life.

VOTE AGAINST MORE USELESS OFFICES

TIE commissioner of public lands is now elected by the people
every second year. A commissioner who does not conduct the
: land department wisely and efficiently may be thrown out. Any
regulations for the conduct Of the department that may be needed
from time TO time, to meet new eonditns, can be provided by the
Legislature. There is a state land commissioner now in existence,
consisting Of the governor. the attorney general and the commits
soner Of public lands, which costs the people nothing to maintain
and which may assume supervisory authority over the department
whenever IL elects TO do so.
Proposed constitutional amendment No. ! proposes 10 abolish the
elective commissioner Of public lands and to put in his place three
commissioners, TO be appointed by the governor, for terms Of SIX
YEARS each. Each Of these commissioners would draw a comfort
able salary; each would have a retinue of clerks. Each would seek
10 be supreme in laying down the policy and procedure whfch would
guido the conduct Of business The result would be decreased eff.
cheney in the land office, vastly increased expense, and the creation
Of at least two additional executive positions in the state govern
ment for which there is not the most remote need.
The real effect of the amendment would be 10 provide three
more political plums for the disposal Of the party in power in the
state government.
Arizona, Colorado and Utah have tried the state land commits
sion plan. Each state has found it a failure. The results in New
Mexico under one elected commissioner have been far ahead of thu
states named in efficiency OF management and in revenue produced
New Mexico's operating charges have been very much lower. Ual
has just abandoned the commission plan for a single commissioner.
New Mexico, AS It's affairs now stand, has about all the unneces
sary offices and unproduetiye overhead expense that it can stand.

ANONYMOUS ABUSE VS.. THE RECORD

I ARGE envelopes stuffed with anonymous circulars attacking Sen
ator Bnrsum were distributed broadcast in Albuquerque Saiur.
day and Sunday. Careful examination Of a number Of the pack
ages shows that not a single statement is signed r sponsored by an
Individual or an organization. Since the circulars end, in every case,
with an appeal for votes for Nh, Hanna, IL is assumed that they were
issued ia his behalf by those IN charge of his campaign
These circulars contain all the campaign lies and ISLANDERS that
have been directed against Senator Bnrsum by political opponents
during The past ten years There is no pretense at discussion of Sen.
@hr Bursumfs record in the public service. 1t is simply a lasthour
vouey Of personal abuse and mud.
A cause which finds ii necessary to resort to this sort Of cam.
psiguing must be in a sngularly desperate state. Much Of the muck
used in these circulars is derived from the Santa Fe New Mexican,
whose one sided personal warfare against senator Bursum during the
past ten years is well known. Mr.. Hanna campaign management
has not dared to use these outworn ISLANDERS of past campaigns, In its
newspaper advertisements, for which responsibility could be fixed.
Resort has been had to the hst-hour anonymous circular, twin to
the anonymous letter.
senator Bursum has been sufficiently active in behalf Of New
Mexico during his brief service in the senate, TO afford plenty Of rec
ord for analysis and attack BY those who oppose him and who have
the courage to undertake il. Attacking that record, however, has
not been particularly successful. The record has bcea found inyul
nerable. SO resort is had to deliberate falsehood, via the anonymous
circular.
The last hour campaign in behalf of Mr.. Hanna is in striking con
irast to the campaign waged in Mr.. Bursum' $ behalf II has been
plain. dignihed presentation Of Senator Bursaim's record N which
he IN content to stand and Of his plans for service. Every statement
issued by his campaign committee has been signed by responsible,
men Of women, every argument is his behalf has been offered from
responsible source. Upon his record and upon his demonstrated CO
paeity for larger future service Senator Bursum will be returned Il
the senate in tomorrow's election.
This last hcur effort TO take a few votes from Bursuin, by wa,
of the dirty underground. should have the effect OF arousng all fhos
who support his cause to extra effort. That is the usual reaction e
discreditable campaign methods.
Senator Bursum is entitled to al overwhelming majority in to
inorrows election, by. every standard Of service performed and Of
capacity for future service. The best interests of New Mexico cal
for such a majority in his behalf. Let us see that he gets il.

per, johnson and Nicholson, leaders OF the western group of agricul
tural senators, with whom Senator Bursum is aligned, which state
ment said;
eve, the executive members of the western senators in
the United States senate, representing the middle west,
southwest and western states, send to the southern tariff as
sociation our sincere thanks for the great effort that organ
ization is making to bring about a better understanding of
the importance OF agriculture and its affiliated industries
10 the life of this nation. The purpose Of our organization
in the senate is 20 help bring about a spirit of fairness to-
ward agriculture and its affiliated industries regardless of
whether they are in the north or the south, the east or the
west.
I'VE believe the time has come when the south and the
west, the producers of the country, must stand shoulder TO
shoulder and oppose any efforts ON the part of any interests
in ths country TO place farm products upon the free list or
10 give agriculture a protection so low that it is unfair and
unjust to the producers Of this nation.
1--WE believe that republicans and democrats alike can
render the greatest service in this work By making it clear
to the leaders of their parties that agriculture and its al
fliated industries are entitled Ia the same consideration as
the manufacturers. Agriculture and its afhliated industries
must oppose any effort TO classify farm products Is raw ma
terials. IT there is 10 be protection in America then all in
dnstries shall be treated with the same spirit of fairness,
for the principles Of protection cannot exist in America
with one-half the industries on the free list aud the other
half protected. Protection for all or protection for none
should be our motto"
This statement is signed by Senators Gooding, McNary, Cape
johnson and Nicholson, every one of whom is urging the election
Senator Bursum because he is one of the most active and most use
full of this group of vigorous aggressive senators who are hghtin
successfully for the welfare OF the west.

BURSUM'S TARIFF STAND

A RATHER laughable effort has been made by Mr.. IlaIma's mis-.
a guided publicity agency 10 prove that Senator Bursum has lined
up with alleged reactionaries" in the senate in some kind Of
dark Conspiracy to wreck the west In other words, voters have
been asked to believe that Bursum, a livestock grower, whose prin-
cipal interest is in wool, has lined up with an effort to wreck himself
The first thing that Senator Bursum did when he got 10 Wash
ington was 10 introduce and fight for a n amendment 10 include
tariff on hides in the emergency tariff law. He was unsuccessful
then but he kept right on fighting, as is his way, and there is every
reason 90 believe AS a result OF his efforts the permanent tariff bill
when il energies from the senate. will contain am adequate protective
duty ON hides.
when the tariff bill reached the senate Bursum offered an amend
nent 10 the wool schedule which would provide adequate protection
for the producer. Both Senator Jones and Mr. Hanna have quoted
at great length from a speech by Senator Gooding OF Idaho ON tn
wooI tariff al the Forlney bill and have used il as an illustration O
their contention that Bursuin is trying 10 wreck the industry Oh
which he depends for a living.
