The conspicuous failure achieved by our senator from Bcrnallo

battlcd minority seems upon close analysis, to be- due to the fact that
Senator Sellers has attempted to make y dcnagoguc Of hmscf-and

Senator Grantham If Eddy county injected more pure, unadul
terated political bunk inp the senate proceedings Wednesday after
noon i'm a speech requiring forty-onc seconds than Senator Sellers mas
been able To put over in the five political speeches he has csSayed
TO direct against the majority party. Senator GranthamS remarks
would have been equally Effective in any state legislature anywhere
in any year or in any session Of the national house of representatives
from any minority member of either party at any time since the civil
war
The only unfortunate feature about our senator 5 ease Is thal the
time wasted in being an ineffective minority leader could have been
employed IN being a useful senator for Bcrnahllo and San Juan coun-
ties; at a time when BcrII,ilo county al least certainly needs q
