Indian tribes and other interested

The tribal spokesman also lash

Mckinley county Democratic chair

appointment on the grounds that
the Navajo is a xon-Goldwater

The spokesman said. Here is
a Navajo boy, born in a hogan
and self-educated, who has reach
ed such eminence with his people
that he is now seriously being con-
sidered for the appointment as IN
dian Commissioner.
1T is battling that politician

Men from all walks of life of all faiths from

Guest Editorial

When a man is considered for
high position, neither religion,
race, color nor the brand of liquor
he prefers should be a criterion
of his ability. Neither, in the in
terest of getting a good job done,
should his political beliefs nor af-
filiation.
His selection should be made
entirely on the basis of his quail
fications, not on whether or not
he supported a particular political
candidate or party during an elec-
ton campaign.
AS long as patronage remains a
part of American politics this
measure of a man for a job will
never be realized. When positions
are filled after an election, the
spots usually go to the fellows
who went along with the candi-
dates who were elected.
j. Maurice McCabe, executive
secretary of the Navajo Tribal
Council, is a top-ranking contend
er for the post of Commissioner
of Indian Affairs. The Daily In
dependent has endorsed McCabe
for the post, entirely on the basis
of his qualifications and expert
ence. So have several other New
Mexico newspapers, and more
than a dozen Indian tribes over
the nation. The Daily Independent

Absentee
Voting
Introduced

A constitutional amendment to
permit general absentee balloting
was introduced Thursday in the
Senate by Ed Mead, D-Bernalillo,
James Patton, D-DOma Ana, and
Harold Runnels, D-Lea.
Mead said the amendment would
allow absentee voting on all Of
fices by all voters away from
their home voting precincts on ell
ection day.
The amendment was referred to
the rules committee. Only severly
restricted absent voting is au-
thorizd now in New Mexico
Absentee balloting is limited to
federal offices and to military
service personnel, their spouseS
and other related groups based
overseas. Less than 1900 absentee
votes were cast in the 1860 general
election.
Several previous attempts to le-
galize general absentee voting in
New Mexico have failed.
The amendment will be On the
1852 general election ballot if sub
mitted to voters by the legislature
and will be effective in the 1854
elections if the voters approve.

McCabe Has Meeting
WithInteriOrSecretarv

j. Maurice McCabe, executive
secretary of the Navajo Tribal
Council and a leading contender
for appointment as Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, attended the in
auguration of President John F.
Kennedy in the nations capital.
McCabe also has an appointment
to confer with Secretary of the
Interior Stewart Udall during his
stay in Washington which is ex-
pected to extend through most of
next week.
A tribal spokesman said the
talks between Udall and McCabe
will definitely center around the
appointment of an Indian Com
missioner and Indian policy.
The spokesman said that wheth-
er or not McCabe gets the ap-
pointment, he is interested in dis
cussing Indian policy as outlined
Navajo times., 1961-01-01

repeats that endorsement.
Various Democrats in Mckinley
county have opposed McCabe on
the grounds that he is a resident
of Arizona instead of New Mexico,
that he is registered Independent
politically and that he was Nix
on supporter in the general elec-
ton campaign.
We say So what? Should the
fact that man lives in Arizona
and that he supported a loser for
president be taken as prime fac
tors in keeping him from a posi-
ton in which his qualifications in
dicate he could do a good job?
There have been instances, too
few we'll admit, where the presi-
dent, governor and others who
have appointive duties. have re-
tanned officials even though they
belong to the opposition party.
These men, beyond question of
doubt, were kept on because of
their ability and because they
were needed.
We hope that when the position
of Indian Commissioner is filled,
the appointee will be Maurice
McCabe. But, we also hope that
regardless of who is named, the
position will be filled on the basis
of qualification and ability, not
political affiliation.

people in Navajo education" he
commented.

Indian children into New Mexico

Gov. Mechem told the educators.
This has been good not only for

President Kennedy is walk
