the party platform any old time
after election. That is where the
democrats have an advantage over
their more conscientious republican
brethren. Is there anything in the
history Of the democratic party to
warrant the belief that they would
live up TO any promises made in
their party platforms? Have they
not already sidetracked the silver
issue and the Apostle Bryan in or
der to palliate their eastern breth-
rem, and in the great state OF Colo
RADIO are they not at present at their
wits end to concoct some scheme
to hold the silver parties in line TO
the end that only good democrats
may be installed in the preferred
places in official life in the state as
well as the counties. To the or
binary mortal il looks as though
the silver hunko game had been
worked to a frazzle in the great
state OF Colorado for the aggran-
dizement OF the democratic party,
and that it is about time for their
republican co-workers and assis-
tants to admit that they have been
made dupes of and refuse to buck
the democratic shell game any
longer.
The republican platform this fall
will be broad enough to unite all
republicans who believe in good
government and an economical and
business like conduct OF county
affairs. The present county Off
cials have made a record which the
republican party is proud OF and 1t
invites republicans Of every shade
OF belief to join them in securing
their triumphant reelection by a
rousing, old-time republican ma
jority.

The water question is very likely

The water question is very likely
to become serious problem in La
Junta in the very near future. The
supply from the city's artesian well
on the hill has decreased in SIX
weeks from flow of forty-two gal.
Ions per minute to two gallons per
minute. which necessitates the use
Of river water at the city pumping
plant to generate steam. The use
of the alkali water from the river
has already resulted in one Of the
boilers being disabled, and it Is
within the range Of probability
that both Of them may be in that
condition II any time now, unless

more OF it. Republicans have
rarely resorted to it in the past and
never with success. Therefore the
News is opposed to the use of the
word and the action it implies in
the campaign this fall. The re-
publican platform will be broad
enough for all who love their
country, their state and their
county. The general principles
advocated in the platform will be
sufficient to unite republicans Of
every shade OF belief and we be-
lieve a ticket can be named for
which every individual who wishes
a careful. economical and business
like management can vote.
Fusion is democratic dodge as
it has been used in Colorado and
the republicans have no use for it.
The republican party has never
been wont to question the anteced-
ents OF any man or woman who
wishes to cast their ballot for its
principles and candidates. All
who believe in the main in the
principles it advocates are invited
to take part in its primaries and
every one SO taking part is entitled
to be candidate for any Office.
This year there should be gen
erous desire on the part OF all lead
ers to get together and name a
ticket composed Of such men as
will command the esteem of all
parties and secure enough votes to
insure control Of county affairs in
the interest Of economy. That de-
sire should lead 10 the ignoring OF
the prehxes mckinley" and
"Silver" from the word "Republi.
can" and the old leaders on both
sides should be willing to step
aside if necessary when it comes
to selecting candidates.-Grand

The sentiments expressed in the
above editorial are applicable to
political conditions as they exist in

nicely. Otero county is naturally
republican and always has been,
but the democratic dodge Of fusion
ism has been worked with such
arest success in past years
thst almost since the organization

have been flled by democrats. Not
until two years ago did the rePub-
lscans work together in harmony,
and then they won - easy victory,
which can s. duplicatsd 1ny day
