that year, serving until 1906. He
was a delegate to republican ma
tional conventions in 1904 and
1908, and was made republican
national committeeman New Mex
leo in March, 1920. During the
1920 national convention he head
ed an important subcommittee
which had charge of contests over
seats in the convention.
Mr.. Bursum was floor leader
and chairman of the republican
caucus in the constitutional con-
'vention. In 1911 and 1916, he was
the nominee of the republican par
Ivy for the office of governor. In
1918 and 1920, he served as tenn
'porary chairman of the republican
state convention. His brilliant
floor leadership in the latter con-
Vention made possible the nominal
ton of Merritt c. Mechem for
governor
Mechem Congratulated.
Since resignation of Senator Fall,
there has been much speculation
as to Governor Mechem's probable
action but that little doubt that his
final choice would be Mr.. Rursum.
The endorsements received from
political leaders all over the state
virtually dictated his appointment,
had the governor had no other
guide in the matter.
Late this afternoon, the house of
representatives adopted q resou-
ton congratulating Governor Me
chem for his selection of Mr.. Bur
sum, declaring that he was the best
man that his appointment would
be pleasing to republicans gener-
ally.
The election to choose a success
scr for the balance of Senator
Falls term is likely to be held the
third Tuesday in september when
the special constitutional amend
ment election is held.

SALESMAN'S PRIZE
SHOWS BUSINESS IN
DUKE CITY Is GOOD

That the business interests of
New Mexico have every confidence
in the future. despite the present
slump, is evidenced by the fact that
a local man, James L. Signaigo,
salesman for the Burroughs Adding
Machine company, has won first
prize in q three months sales con-
test conducted by the company, the
headquarters of which are located
in Detroit, Mich.
Mr.. Signaigo, who works out of
the albuquerque office of the COM
i any, has been awarded a $3.50 gold
watch for topping the sales of this
district for three months.
The watch, q beautiful Walthan
is inscribed: Awarded to j. H.
Signaigo, Albuquerque agency, for
making 176 per cert quota for the
past three months, Burroughs Add.
ing Machine CO.
1t should be explained that when
a salesman starts out in almost any
business, he must sell a certain
amount of goods to make quota,
which is 100 per cent. Therefore.
1t will be seen that Signaigo sold
enough Burroughs machines in this
district to give him 100 per cent
and then some; in fact, he nearly
doubled the amount Of sales he was
expected to make; all of which
speaks well for business in the AL
buquerque district.
Mr.. Signaigo was out of the city
when official word of his achieve
ment was received from Detroi.

The Pneumonia Month.

March Is a typical Pneumonia
month and usually gives a high
rate of mortality for the disease.
After long and hard winter, the
system loses much of its resistance
and people grow careless. When
every cold, no matter how slight, is
given prompt and intelligent atten-
ton, there is much less danger of
pneumonia. 1t should be borne in
mind that pneumonia is a germ
disease and breeds in the throat.
