Voters Show Sparse Interest in Special Election
The special election on September 16 drew only 39 votes, with the soldiers and sailors ballot 10 to 20 against it and the State Board of Control 4 to 35 against. The highway bonds proposal failed 3 to 36, while local officials Roy Leandro Archuleta and B. Lusk served as clerks under Mayor F. S. Brown Lopes. If the state votes similarly, lawmakers may be kept from folly for a time.

John Shamblin bought a Fort Runabout with starter to drive to town instead of using the Fordson tractor for mail. Mrs Kate Dunbar traveled from Tucumcari to see the baby at Tom Strong's and returned to Tucumcari Hospital on Sunday.
