THE DAWN OF MR.. BURSUM

TIE editor %. the Abuqurrquc journal has given Hon. Holm O
HurSum AN unqualified endorsement for the appointment To the
deviation OF Senator Fall to the cabinet. That endorsement is in line
with all almost unanimous popular sentiment and w.th every other

Furthermore. if we recall the record CORRECTLY it /, bt a few
short months ago that the Prophet of th" Dawn of the New Day was
emitting walls from his luncrmosi Soul because of am undue mnu-
