MONTOYA IS HERE
To AID BURSUM
DURING ELECTION
Congressman Arrives From
Washington and Will AS
siSt Senator In His Cam
paign For Permanent Seat

Congressman Nestor Montoya,
representative at large from the
state of New Mexico, has returned
from Washington to assist Senator
Holm O. Bursum in his campaign
for permanent possession of the
seat in the senate left vacant by
the resignation of A. B. Fall to en-
ter the cabinet.
The congressman took part In
the meeting at Old Albuquerque
yesterday and was named a dele
gate to the county convention. 1t is
likely that he will also be named
from this county to the state con-
vention in Santa Fe next Thurs
day.
Mr.. Montoya expresses himself
as being we'll pleased with the Of
fetal life at Washington.
ut is city of parks, fine
buildings and delightful homes
said the congressman. 1.-THE eli
mate of the city has apparently
agreed with me for l am feeling
better than I have for long time.
There is plenty of work to do, but
the facilities are excellent for do
ing it,"
Much Of Mr.. Montoya's time has
been given over to the settlement
of claims for postoffices. He has
been working constantly on the
problem and now has his lists
complete and his recommends
tons ready.
Mr.. Montoya expressed the be-
lief that free hides and free cot
ton would be removed from the
Fordney tariff bill when it is fin
ally agreed upon. The senate, he
said, is antagonistic to these pro-
visions and the west will oppose
their inclusion in the bill. The
west stands, he said. for a tariff on
hides and one on cotton.
Durings few months in Wash
ington Mr.. Montoya has been i'm
pressed with the Importance of
having representatives in con-
gress stay more than single
| term.
IF la man stays several terms,
his committee assignments be-
come more important and he has
a chance to have determining
voice in shaping legislation. Take
the example of Representative
Mondell, coming from the state of
wyoming. He is its only repre-
sentative, yet he has been in the
national body so long that his
power is very great"
The congressman expects to re-
main in the state until the close
of the campaign in September.
