farmer and cited some Of the con-
structive measures passed by the

The political prophets are now
specializing on what percentage of
the vote will go to the polls next Tues
day. The total vote in the state last
November by all parties was lO6,SOO
but it is not expected to run anything
like this amount at the special cleo
ton Tuesday Many voters go to the
polls only when there are local CON
tests to create interest, and it is
not likely that over seventy-five per
cent of the full vote will be polled at
the coming contest, If prediction
interest counts for anything Curry
County will poll a good percentage of
the regular vote.

SENATOR JONES
VISITS CLOVIS
Senior Senator From New Mexico
Makes Statesman-like Speech at
High School Tuesday Night.

United States Senator A. A. Jones
addressed the voters of Clovis at the
high school auditorium Tuesday night.
The auditorium was filled with inter
ested listeners who heard an eloquent
address and drastic indictment Of
the Republican party for its failure in
accomplishment during the several
months President Harding has been in
office. Mr. Jones is real stat 3sman
and many who have heard number
Of his speeches say this was the most
eloquent speech they have ever heard
him deliver. In answer to the charge
that New Mexico would get the cold
shoulder from a Republican Congress
if the voters failed to return Mr..
Bursum Mr. Jones said in part:
"They don't do things like that
back there. True, when one senator
has been there some time and shown
his grasp Of public affairs he is given
more than customary consideration
when he rises and speaks, but no one
asks any legislation to be put through
as q special favor to any individual
II anyone wants to get any legislation
through he first makes out case
shows that il is needed, ought to be
done.
81 might say in the old territorial
days when We had only one delegate
in congress, and no vote, we were
then in the position of suppliant, or
beggar, but now that we have become
state we have full voice. We've
got the right to demand now instead
Of begging and to put us in the atti'
tude Of asking special favors is to
relegate us back to the old territorial
!. status when we had to depend on that
sort Of thing.
II can assure you legislation is not
enacted through favortism toward
one Individual. It's passed on its
merits and has got to hold water"
Mr.. Jones made an excellent i'm
preston on the audience and his re-
assuring speech will cause the Demo
Gratis to flock to the polls next Tues
day and help elect Hanna
Mr.. Jones, who was accompanied
by Mrs. Jones, left Wednesday morn

ask the Judge to dismiss the murde
charge altogether.
