The Weekly State Record announces Frank Staplin as managing editor and notes its second class mail status at Santa Fe New Mexico under the act of March 3 1879 with annual subscription at 1 50.
After Jude Pope’s death Democratic hopefuls for federal district judges numbered high, A A Jones declined to recommend, insisting on an equal chance for all. Mr Graham’s Justice Department probe, though discreet, surfaced in Santa Fe with talks of vacancies and appointments tied to Hudspeth, Seligman, McDonald, and Jones factions. Rumors tied key posts in Santa Fe to Stewart, Uhl, and others, fueling discontent among party reformers about wholesale patronage in a fusion-win environment. The piece cites constitutional oath rules and the term start guidance from New Mexico law, noting possible holdover if oaths or bonds aren’t filed timely.
The Santa Fe New Mexican promotes Governor McDonald's views to influence public opinion for his continued hold on power and to challenge Governor elect de Baca, arguing about who can endure the legislative session and who may survive the duties ahead. The piece frames the debate as a strategic maneuver rather than a straightforward policy discussion.
An editorial urges the next legislature to boost funding for the Institute for the Blind in Alamogordo. It notes the facility now serves about fifty to sixty pupils, with many more in the state lacking access to medical care and education. The piece argues for more space, equipment, and staff, pointing to renewed educational funding from state lands and calling for attention to the Las Vegas institution for the mentally incapacitated as well.
Las Vegas lawyer Elmer E. Veeder was appointed as the governor's legal advisor after a vacancy and sparing consideration by taxpayers. Critics question the need for the role now, suggesting Veeder's campaign efforts for a San Miguel county senate race and potential political rewards influenced the appointment.
The Deming Headlight congratulates Loomis on re adopting the Santa Fe Eagle and resumes its management after Loomis takes over from J H Crist at lease expiration. The Eagle will resume steady flight under Loomis and his associates as the paper returns to its former course.
The Morning Journal and Santa Fe New Mexican quarrel over who will fill the governor’s office as the next months unfold. Republicans claim both De Baca and McDonald face issues, while Democrats fear De Baca’s lack of qualification could push McDonald to stay in power. The piece weighs potential scenarios if De Baca does not qualify by session adjournment.
In a spirited piece, readers are urged to boycott soaring food costs by stopping purchases of costly goods. The poem by James J. Montague is cited praising a price drop if people endure shortages. The author warns of social friction and questions whether Congress can find a better cure than nationwide fasting to curb inflation.
Neutral observers note U.S. support for Germany’s wartime peace idea as a starting point for negotiations. The piece weighs German military gains, entente responses, and calls for a just settlement that punishes war crimes while stressing American leadership to foster imminent peace.
Congressman B C Hernandez secured a 50000 appropriation to establish a fish hatchery in New Mexico. The exact location will be chosen later by the federal bureau in charge. The move, aided by bipartisan support, aims to stock irrigation reservoirs and boost the state’s fish supply. The House passed the bill, and the Senate is expected to approve.
The passage argues the era of aggressive sidewalk solicitors is over. Merchants should focus on service, quality, fair pricing, and strong displays rather than ropers and pullers. Those embracing modern methods will gain returns and dignity, while roping tactics lose relevance.
