The trouble with Beau Brun-
nell was that he didn't know
when to leave well enough alone.
He began to cut the then-P Prince
of Wales (afterward George V)
down to size. This was an under
taking. since the Prince weighed
240 pounds. The pay-off came
one day when the Prince made
what he considered a most inn
pressive entrance to Court, only
to hear Beau Brummell whisper
to the Prime Minister. Who's
your fat friend?"
The Eat friend, responded
with the royal equivalent of
"ThrOw that bum out, !" and
soon Beau Brummell was an
exile in France. where he
gambled away his inherit

make for a good cause. and see |
II they are equally desirable in q

Patience a Foctor
Patience is a prime factor In

Another advantage the nurse |

servient. In other words. she isn't
apt to be either the boss or q

Senator Chavez Wins
Clear Title 10 Seat

By J. A. O'Leoy

Senator Chavez, Democrat. Of
New Mexico held clear title to
his Senate seat today.
BY a vote of SO to SO, the Sen
ate late yesterday disposed Of
the contest brought against him.
The vote rejected recommended
ton of the Rules Committee that
no one was elected to the Senate
In New Mexico in 1852 because
of alleged failure by local officials
to comply with New Mexico vot-
ing laws.
President Eisenhower refused
any comment on the Senate vote
at his news conference today.
He remarked that is strictly the
Senate's business. Il
Five Republicans and the lone
Independent. Senator Morse Of
Oregon. Joined with At Demo-
Gratis in voting for Senator
Chavez.
The five Republicans were
Senators Aiken of Vermont.
Cooper of Kentucky. Payne and
Margaret Chase Smith of Maine,
and H. Alexander Smith Of New
Jersey. Two other Republicans
were paired in favor of Sem
ator Cheviz. They were Kuchel
of California. and LANCER of
North Dakota.
Democrats Solid.
In a rare display of unity,
every Democrat was present and
all of them voted for the New
Mexico Senator except Senator
Chavez, himself. who was pres
ent but refrained from voting.
A few minutes earlier, the
Senate turned down. So to SO,

seeking to put the Senate on
record as believing the Chavez
seat should not be filled by the
Republican Governor of New
Mexico pending new election.
The only difference in the two
roll calls was that Senator Dirk
sen, Republican. of Illinois. voted
against the amendment and
then voted to unSeat Senator
Chavez, while Senator Smith, of
New Jersey, voted for the
amendment and in favor of Sen
ator Chavez.
For more than a year a Sen
ate subcommittee has been in
vestigating the New Mexico cleo
ton, which was challenged by

and Edward Mechem, a Repub-
lican was elected Governor on
the same ballots that the Senate
Republicans challenged in the
Chavez election. They pointed
out that If Senator Chavez had
been unseated on those grounds.
a Governor elected by the same
ballots would have been able to
appoint a Senator in his place
for the rest of this year. It was
this argument which prompted
the amendment, seeking to give
notice that no Senator appointed
pending new election would be
seated.
Senators George and Morse
contended 1t would violate the
Constitution to tell a Governor
not to carry out his function Of
filling Senate vacancies.

Patrick j. Hurley.
$4,000 Ballots Challenged.
The subcommittee did not de-
eide in favor of Mr.. Hurley. but
concluded the senatorial elec-
ton should be declared no con-
test. The Republicans argued
that $4,000 ballots out of 247, 900
cast were open to question. They
charged that at least $1,000
voters were deprived of a secret
ballot because of the absence Of
booths in some counties. Other
allegations were that election
officials failed to carry out a
law requiring assistance to
voters in marking their ballots.
that registration laws were not
observed and that the legality
of some votes cast by persons
on military reservations was
questionable.
During two days Of debate
Democrats insisted that the SUBJ
committee should have deter
mined whether the voters Of
New Mexico expressed their will
and should not be penahzed by
having the entire election de-
clared void because Of the short
comings of election officials.
The Democrats also stressed
the point that the Republican
committee members made no
charges against Senator Chavez.
In the final argument. Sena-
tor George, Democrat. of Geor-
gia, declared the Senate has
never unseated a Senator or
thrown out an entire State elec-
ton because Of the actions Of
election officials.
The Democrats also hammered
home the argument that Presi-
dent Eisenhower got the four
electoral votes of New Mexico
