REPUBLICAN BIG GUNS MEET AT

Union County Representatives At

Something for Old Union

y meeting of the republican state
rpniral and executive committeeman
and other prominent party leaders.
kas held at the state house i'm Santa
ne last week, for the purpose of
cuhsiderine and endorsing men for
tbe various important state and fed
aal appoillNe offices. Owing TO
lie fact that United states Senator
A. b. Falls resignation as senior
shator FROM New Mexico was not
inthc hands of the governor, no def
nle endorsements were made SO
we arc told This is doubtless true,
aud the members of the state COM
millee it would seem, must be
placed in a rather awkward position
which will last until it is definitely
known who will be United States
senator, Fall or somebody else with
the right and power to name men
for such places as the office OF
United States Marshal for New Mex
ico for the United States land Of
fices, for federal prohibition en-
forcement officer, and other places.
The forces of the z. o. p. of Union
county were represented at this
gathering with a vengeance o. p.

Juan Vigil, James Mayes, and Mrs.
4 r. Mitchell went on the train All
in all the republican state leaders
must have been forcefully apprised
of the aliveness of their Union coun-
ly forces.
Mr.. Snyder is being muchly talked
of over the state for the United Sta
tes marshalship, and since a repub-
lican must be named for this impOr-
tant office, it is only justice to Mr.
Snyder and 10 Union county to say
that his party might go long way
and do much worse in the selection
Of man for this place. He is popu-
lar with the rank and file, both re-
publicans and democrats in Union
county, and doubtless would fill tire
office of United States marshal with
as much credit as any man his party
could name
From the best information avail
able il would seem, ALSO that Ray
NSuttoI. AsRl be offered the appoint
ment as captain of the mounted cat
tie inspectors, an organization re-
tlacing the mounted police. II seems
blat the governor has made it known
tlat Mr.. sutton is his choice for
this place. Mr.. Sutton has certainly
hal the experience and training to
fit him for such a position.
=. II Errett, from what we can
Learn, seems TO be the favorite for
one of the places in the Clayton
lSnd office, though il is assumed
thai there can not be more than d
mere tacit arrangement to this ef-
feet now as this office will be filled
on recommendation OF the republic
can senator from New Mexico.

Another judicial district, the ninth,
is created in bill introduced in
the senate this week.
The new district takes Roosevelt,
Curry and De. Baca counties from
the fifth and Quay from the eighth
district.
Torrance county is added to the
fifth district.
The arrangement under the bill
follows:
First Santa Fe. Rio Arriba, San
Juan and Torrance.

,SandoVal
Third-Dona Ana, Otero, and Lin
coin.
Fourth-San Miguel. Mora. and
Guadalupe
Fifth-Cha1es, Eddy and lea.
SiXth-Granl, Hidalgo and Luna
SeVenth-Socorro Catron, Nalcn-
cia and Sierra.
Eighth-Taos ColfaX, Union and
Harding
Ninth-Roosevclt Curry, DE Baca
and Quay.
Another districting bill introduced
by Representative p. V. nieckman
in the house creates two additional
tlistrcis-the ninth and tenth. The
grouping Of the counties under this
bill follows:

little business ability. When Rle tide
turned the story changed. The politi-
cal managers were found to he poor
business managers and class govern
ment failed Some 35 banks closed In
the past few months and the state
bank in which all public funds were
required to be kept has had close
shave. To try and relieve the situa-

private funds for deposit which il has
not heretofore carried, and offers to
pay from , per cent on daily balances
above $500 to 3 per cent ON balances
above $500 and 5h an savings accounts
for more than year
Aside from the state bank there has
been chaos in the Leagues industrial
program, and in trying to fix the re-
sponsibilities for the financial tangle
IN which the state finds itself under
the NOn-Partisan Leagues political
control there is now talk of recalling
the whole Industrial commission, and
II necessary every state official. Other
states which have been, and still are
threatened with League activity are
watching the North Dakota dilemma.
