At Their Old Tricks.

We were in hopes that this
election would be conducted in a
manner different from the last
election that it would be free of
fraud, but in this we are mistak-
en-, for even before election day
the Republicans have commenc-
ed their fraudulent practices.
The first thing they did was to
select for the Democrats on the
registration board, a man that
can neither read nor write, and
almost totally blind. The next
thing they did was to place the
voting boxes in Democratic pre-
cincts in the most remote and out
of the way places, far away from
the bulk of the voting popula
ton. They removed the voting
places from Logan and Cimar-
ron to places far away from the
majority of the voters, This
kind of politics is contemplate
in the extreme, and we trust the
voters will rebuke such nefarious
conduct at the polls Tuesday
naxt.

"It is with the profuondest sat
isfaction and feeling of unusual
pride that we witnessed the
hearty and most unusual vel
come home given by the people
of this country, irrespective of
party, to the "Great Commoner"
and intrepid leader Of our party,
William Jennings Bryan. We
look upon him as the embodi
ment of the hope and confidence
that the common people have in
a Democratic form of govern
ment.
We declare our favor of joint
statehood with Arizona, under
the provisions of the enabling
act therefor, known as the Ham
ilton Bill, as it was finally pass
ed by the unanimous vote of
democratic and republican mem
bers of Congress, and we trust
the people of both New Mexico
and Arizona will avail themselves
of the liberal provisions of the
enabling act, to enter the union
of states in the only way Con.
gress, in its wisdom, seems will
ing to provide.
We are in favor of home rule
in the appointment to all offices
in the territory, and we are also
in favor Of the fullest self-gov-
ernment possible under the fer
ritorial conditions, and the full
control of all our internal affairs.
We condemn the present iniqul-
tous fee system in existence in
New Mexico for the compensa-
tion of county officials, which is
a direct resultof republican leg
islation, and by which such Off
cials, are paid greatly in excess
of the value of their services to
the people of their respective
counties, thus imposing unneces-
sary and burdensome taxation.
The fee system is a relic OF by
gone days, and we feel that this
territory has reached that stage
of development and progress
which demands its immediateab-
olitlon. We pledge the demo
cratic party of New Mexico, and
especially its representatives in
the Legislative Assembly, to fa-
vor and work for the enactment
of a law placing all county Off
ces upon a salary basis, and the
reduction of salaries where they
are excessive under existing stat.

We emphatically condemn the
dishonest election methods of re
