SENATOR BUPSUM STANDS
SQUARELY FOR SERVICE MEN
ON THE BONUS QUESTION

In the vote on the Soldiers Bonus
bill which came up for action before
the Senate on Friday, Senator Bur
sum stood squarely for the Service
men, in the face of an Overwhelming
demand by the Republican organiza-
tion that the bill be recommitted and
thus disposed OF for the present. On
the motion to return the bill to COM
mittee, where in all probability it will
rest for an indefinite period Senator
Bursum voted no. Senator Bursum
believes the men who threw them
selves into the breach when civili-
zation was threatened are entitled TO
every consideration at the hands of
the people of this nation, and that
delay of the bonus or any other mea-
sure for their reward and relief is an
injustice to them. The vote on the
motion to "pigeonhole" the bonus bill
stood yeas AZ, nays %. The Repub-
lican senators voting to retain the
bill for further consideration were:
Bursum. New Mexico; Ladd, North
Dakota: Norris. Nebraska; Elkins,
Harold. Oklahoma; LaFollette
Wisconsin; Capper. OF Kansas. Suth-
erland and Jones OF Washington
Ten democrats voted with the ma
jority Republicans for re-committing
the bill. Among those who voted in
the negative was Senator A. A. Jones
Of New Mexico.

SENATOR JONES SUP
PORTS SOLDIERS BONUS
MEASURE IN SENATE

Senator A. A. Jones, of New Mex
leo, addressed the Senate on Tues
day, July y, on the Soldiers Bonus
bill. He stated that this was the first
time a president ever came before
the Senate requesting non-action on
bill about to be passed. That while
the President in so doing had per-
formed his duty had exercised his
right he had gone to the extreme
extent to which he could in opposi-
tion to the bill; that the duty of the
Senate was still TO be performed, that
the judgment of any man-the con-
science of any man could not be a
substitution for any Senator.
Senator Jones, who spoke earnestly
for some two hours, arraigned the
statement of Secretary Mellon as to
the menace of the bonus bill to fin
ance, and gave extensive data and
figures to substantiate his opposition
to statements made to Congress TO
cause the recommittment of the bill.
His further statement included the
belief that if the bill were recon-
mitted it would be dead for all time,
or at least for future sessions ex-
tending over a period of some years.
Senator Jones speech appears in the
Congressional Record OF July II. and
friends of the measure have taken
steps to send this copy OF the Rec
ord to every newspaper in New Mex
ico

COMMITTEE MEETS TO
DECIDE ABOUT HOLDING
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Meeting of the Republican state
executive committee will be held here
tomorrow morning. il is announced
by Col. ]. ID. Sena, secretary. The
committee will either designate the
time and place to hold the state con-
vcntion to nominate a candidate for
United States senator, or will call a
meeting OF the state central commit
tee TO make the decision.
Las Cruces wants the convention.
This probably grows out OF the fact
that former State Senator II. b. Holt
who is a resident OF Las Cruces, is a
candidate for the nomination. The
committee has been informed that a
representative Of the Las Cruces
chamber of commerce will ask to ap-
pear Before the committee TO pres
ent the claims Of that city. A big
canteloupe feed. for one thing, will
be dangled before the eyes and ap-
petitcs OF the committeeman. Then
it will be pointed out that FL Paso
is not so far away, while a boule-
ward connects. And just beyond FL
Paso lies Juarez. greatest oasis that
ever relieved the intolerable dryness
OF the southwestern desert. Gosh!
But in spite of the oasis. it is more
likely that Albuquerque or Santa Fe
will get the convention.
