Larrazolo's Short Senate Term Sets Brief Record

Washington, Feb. 5. Senator Octaviano A. Larrazolo of New Mexico may hold a rare record by serving just over a month in Congress. Arriving Dec. 12, he rushed back to New Mexico due to bronchial asthma, leaving unresolved goals as he was elected for a short session to fill vacancies. He aimed to speak once and push an industrial school bill for New Mexico’s Spanish-American people. His brief tenure ends with a noted lapse on the floor for smoking a cigarette, while Congress grows uninterested in the session amid inauguration fever and Hoover presidency speculation.

He warns many will suffer during readjustment but productivity will rise as tractors replace manual work and farms profit from higher output. Politics by itself cannot help unless it teaches farmers about changing industrial conditions.
