Divergent ASPECTS
ARE PRESENTED IN
THE DAYS TRADING
There Were Few Features In
the Bond Market, Trading
In That Quarter Falling
Off Somewhat
BY Associated Press

New York. May 1S.-Trading in the
stock market today presented two dis
tinct and divergent aspects. Rails We're
active and strong at gross advances OF
l to points, while numerous industrials
and specialties irregularIy extended re-
cent losses.
The movement In transportations had
it's inception in the overnight announce
lnent that the United States railroad Ia
Dor board had decided upon a downward
revision of wages. amounts not yet dr.
termined, effective July l.
Junior or secondary issues benefited
slnost as much as the more seasoned or
dividend paying shares. Conspicuous fea-
lures of the rise, however, encompassed
the representative transcontinentals and
coalers, the southern systems or cotton
carriers, also showing marked improve
ment Industrials we're due mainly to
double crossing the action Of the Republic
Iron and Steel directors on the quarterly
dividend. Announcement Of the absolute
omission came Immediately after the
end of the session, but Republic closed
unchanged.
Similar incidents Of the day included
the passing OF the Pacific Mail seman-
nual dividend and so per cent cut in
the quarterly dividend of Cuban-Amer-
Jean sugar. Oils, especially the Mexicans,
were heavily traded in, but Mexican Pc
troleum finished at a nominate gain.
The money market followed its unde-
waiting course of the last few days, all
call loans being made at I per cent. al
though the figure was shaded in the
open market Leading foreign exchanges

cent high at 81 for demand bills, Dutch.

There were few features to the bond

In our state and the restoration OF
prosperity alike for the farmers and
livestock growers.
But the public record stands. IL
shows that Bursum did these things.
If further verification Is needed Il Is
furnished by the voluntary statements
of members of the senate who farm
ers and. livestock growers of the west
know and trust.
Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas,
leader Of the agricultural group II
which Bursum is member says In an
authorized interview:
NO man ever made friends In Wash
ington more rapidly than Senator Bur
sum. His associates In the senate like
him fo- his frankness his affability aiid
his willingness TO help others. They
give him credit for knowing the gr ut
vast us few other men know Ii No
man In the senate has taken n greater
interest I'm the farmer and stOckman.
This congress has enacted more leg
islatiou for the benefit Of the proiu,
ers Of the country than any other ia
our history. When senator Buram
came T. Washington he Immediately In.
terested himself In all H.. se measures
for the farmers and st0elkmen and he
was very bcIpful In secw'ng fhei pas

tainly earned the endorsement Of an
election by the voters Of New Mexico
and hope ne will be returned by Q
fine majority"
Farmers and sockmen OF New Mexi-
co know Capper. They know him as
their friend and champion. His state
ment stands against those partisan APP
peals tbinly veiled by efforts TO belit-
tie or deny the work that Bursum has
done and the position and capacity that
are his for future usefulness.
There are statements equally con-
vinc.ng as to the work Bursum has
done from Senator Curtis, OF Kansas !;
S..nator Sterling, of South Dakotn I;
Senator Watson, OF Indiana Senator
Smoot, OF Utah; Senator McNary, au-
thor Of the McNary reclamation act I;
senator NadswOrth, and "A dOze'i Others
These men KNOW that Bursum has
made good in behalf Of the producers
OF this state. They do not need him
In the senate as a republican partisan; !;
because that party's majority Is ade-
quate and not TO be Overthr0wn In
three and one-half years They do
need him as a ssne, level.headed hard
working public servant, who knows the
west and its interests and who can be
counted upon at ALL times when those
interests are in question.
And We the people OF New Mexico,
need him In the senate. not ms n repub-
iican partisan. but because he Is an
able man Of proven worth and ability

his position as q member Of the maiari.

fideneo and active cooperation, Will

II proposes that craftsmanship shall take
precedence over public interests In vot-
ing next Tuesday To that end mat
ters Of state government. state issues
and local questions are being injected
into the campaign.
As an example the resolutions adopt
ed by the recent democratic convention
are now being widely circulated. One
plank makes an appeal to women vot'
ers TO vote against Bursum not be-
cause Of anything he has done or has
not done but because II Is wrongfully
alleged that the republican party failed
to enact law comforting equal rights
Of guardianship upon women as prom
ised In the republican state platform
of 1920.
The question has no bearing upon
the election of United States senator !;
but the plank il typical OF the unreli-
ability Of this partisan appeal.
Chapter 80 Of the laws adopted by
the legislature Of 1921 is an equal
qua rdianship law. II fulfills absolute
ly the letter and spirit Of the republi-
can platform pledge of 1920, In salts

a law and recognizes fully the equal
rights Of women In the guardianship
OF their minor children.

effectiveness OF the work Senator Bur

at Washington. II Is sought 10 be-
