New Mexico Special Election Ordered by Legislature
Roswell Dispatch reports that after the defeat of a state institutional bond issue Governor John E. Miles must call a special election as required by the legislature. The public opposed the measure, and Miles considered skipping the election to save about 25 000 to 30 000 dollars in costs but is bound by oath. The bonds would be approved indirectly by voters rather than voting on the bonds themselves. The piece urges voters to participate and be informed.
