THE CAMPAIGN.
A Lively Budget of Political News
Cleaned from Sundry Sources.

With confidence sublime;
lis therefore pleasant to reflect
That now he's doing time"
Chairman j. q. Crist returned from the
south last night.
The Union convention to nominate
county ticket has been called at Las We
gas for October %.
At the present rate of registration,
there will be $50 more qualified voters in
Santa Fe at the coming election than
heretofore.
Delegate Joseph has practically secured
statehood for New Mexico and within
another year will have accomplished his
great work.--Deming Headlight.
The Republicans of Mora county have
endorsed A. G. Voorhees,, of Ration, as can
didate for the legislative council and
nominated Miguel Martinez for the lower
house. Neither of them will be elected.
Hon. Antonio Joseph is at White Oaks
tonight; and tomorrow night he will be
in Lincoln. From Lincoln he goes to the
railroad celebration at Roswell on the
18th, going thence to Seven Rivers and
Eddy.
This section has passed the stage of
politics, says the Deming Headlight,
where men can be elected to Office simply
because they are "good fellows" The
need of the hour is men of integrity and
determination to do what is right, whether
such action is popular or not.
The Union partyites down in Guada-
lupe county were to have held their nomi-
mating convention at Puerto de Luna on
Monday, bnt no report of it has yet been
received at this Office. Could it be that it
was flash in the pan?-Las Vegas Optic.
The Optic should keep posted By reading
the NEW MEXICAN.
The first newspaper ever published in
Guadalupe county will shortly make its
appearance at Puerto de Luna. 1t is DEM
ocratic, of course. This makes twenty
nine out of forty-four newspapers in
New Mexico that arc supporting Joseph,
statehood and Democracy this year.
A good joke is told on Tom Burns, the
Republican leader of Rio Arriba. Catron
was up there recently and some cruel
Democrat gave it out that Burns had re-
ceived $1,4OO for campaign purposes.
In week the ex-senator had 800 letters
begging for share of the money.--Albu-
querque Democrat.
Hon. W. B. Childers is said to have
given the tail of the venomous A. P. A.
monster lively twist on the streets of
Albuquerque few days ago. He said:
II can truthfully say that whenever you
scratch an A. P. A. man you will find a
Republican beneath. But they say there
is no A. P. A-ism here in New Mexico.
Evidently they have very good reasons
for not introducing it here" But from
all reports there is an A. P. A. organiza-
tion in New Mexico, its headquarters, so
it is said, being at San Marcial.
Certain prominent Republicans at Ger
rillos, it seems, are going to desperate
raign one Democratic official against
another for campaign purposes. The
story circulated at Cerrillos to-day touch
ing Santa Fe county tax collections is
utterly and absolutely false, and Chair
man Crist authorizes the NEw MEXICAN
to use his name in denouncing it as low
piece of Republican trickery, the only
effect of which can be the injury of
Santa Fe county.
"Albuquerque's offer to 7. B. Catron of
$4,000 in cool cash and the best corner
lot, as an inducement to move down
there, probably still holds good at this
writing" Anent this statement in the
Las Vegas Optic the Albuquerque Demo-
crat says: "Who is the fool that made
such an offer? Out on such silly rot! In
Albuquerque Tom Catron would be a
second rate lawyer with the possibility of
being very damaging citizen. To Tom
Catrcn, more than any other man, is due
the withdrawal of the military post from
Santa Fe, where it should always have re-
NAMED. He has aspired to boss and die
tate to the military authorities, and Santa
Fe is the loser. The trouble is that Tom
is too we'll known at Washington"
