WI at Leading Men Say.

Col. Thornton Wheatley: shall vote
for the entire proposition, | believe this
is the time to strike for a more progress
sive Amercus and get things going.
Mr.. J. G. Roney: [ think we should
have all of the things on which we are
to vote. Americus cannot afford to
stand still. The people here want pro-
gress, and the carrying of today's cleo
tion favorably means that Americus is
to be kept going.
Mr.. D. r. Andrews: / think there
is little difference of opinion on this
matter among the merchants. Every
thing ought to go through by big
vote. / haYe heard of no opposition to
speak of. We need these improvements
and must have them.
Mr.. C. A. Fricker: feel deep per-
sOnal interest in the success of the party
of progress at the election today. |
want the whole program to be carried
out. / do not see how Americus can
progress or attracr new people aud new
capital from the outside world unless
we show our own faith in it's future
We are put to the test in this election.
Mr.. j. l.. Sparks | think and hope
that the whole proposition will go
through. It would mean much for the
future upbuilding of Americus.
Mr.. e. D. Sheffield: Our people
ought to vote for the proposition in it's
entirety. We need all the improve
ments we can get. Americus cannot
afford to dilly daily while other towns
are going ahead. This is a great oppor-
tunity and should not be lost.
Mr.. III. A. Davis: am heartily in
favor of the projects presented to the
voters today. / want Americus to grow
and grow rapidly.
Mr.. G. NJ. Eldridge: | am in favor of
a new school building or buildings; of
the proposed new electric light and
power plant; of the agricultural college
project, but [ am not in favor of bonds
for paving the streets at this time.
MT. "A. w. ou1th' VI course we must
put the agricultural college project
through I am also in favor of addi-
t1onal school facilities, but believe in
scattered schools rather than one large
structure. We certainly must have a
new electric lighting and power plant.
AS to paving, / would be satisfied
with gravel paving; think it would
answer all purposes and be cheapest,
and not require any large bond issue.
DIR. S. I'll. Mckee: while [ do not
favor the proposition of street paving
at this time and shall vote against it,

ton of electric franchise, which means

Gambling on a Slump.

Saturday Evening Post.
We read that the current valuation
of the country's leading industries,
as shown by the market price of
thei stocks, shrank a billion dollars
within two days recently, while the
industries themselves were more pros
porous and profitable than ever be-
soas made great gains by anticipat-
ing the snrinkage. while others, less
astute or lucky, suffered heavy loss.
LAS time passes it appears more
clearly that the public policy in re-
spect to the great business interests
for which the President stands is not
destructive. but truly conservatives;
is, in the main, for the highest good
of business itself. Leading opponents
of business. thinking and speaking
as business men, begin rather geaer-
ally to acknowledge this.
So we should be getting on fam
ously IL 1t were not that the Stock
Exchange so sadly complexities the
situation. 1t is not at all concerned
with the ultimate effect upon bust
ness Of a certain policy. but only
with the immediate effect that can
be extracted from 1t in the way of
Juggling prices up or down.

may be quite beneficial, but III bet

GOVERNOR HAGERMAN AND
CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS

Because The Record considers it
applicable to political conditions for
all time, the address of Rev. Edwin
Emerson Davis at Saturday nights
mass meeting in full:
George William Curtis when Har-
wards highest degree was to be con-
ferred upon him, said that he left
New York to go to Cambridge a sim
pie, ordinary man: that he would go
back "ennobled."
In America patents of nobility
may not be conferred; but in this
great ovation the people of Roswell
join with the people of New Mexico
in paying tribute to H. ]. Hagerman,
who went to Santa Fe to be our Gov
ernor-went a simple, ordinary man,
and by reason of his heroism and his
achievements, returns ennobled. From
all parts of the Territory men and
women offer their ~salutations and
praise and a full chorus of respect
and appreciation.
"Our ribute is to our Governor;
but we should not have paid it, mad
we not revered him as, a man. His
blameless administration is a contin-
nous ecord of patriotism and integri-
ty; and, passing untouched thro' the
fiery conflicts that grow out of the
~self-centered ambitions of others. he
has. as all agree, preserved a perfect
and an answering and unselfish
fidelity to mis- convictions. 1t is not
for me on this occasion to enter up
On the details of his career as Gov
er1or, for all this is well known and
is a matter of history.
"His career and his political CHAR
acter have been before us: and not
withstandi1g the difficult and ardu-
Gus position in which he has been
placed, assailed at home as well as
abroad, but at the same time well
supported at home, his motives and
intentions have been vel understood
and we have not lost confidence in
him. He has had many hard battles
to fight, but HE HAS FOUGHT with
success, carrying with him.. believe,
Inc ICCllHS VI lie HhOIC y
"Such men as Governor Hagerman
are the main securities OF our lib
erty and -welfare-and he has proved
that he was determined not to be
the chief of any political party, but
the friend and administrator of clean
and honest government.
81 have often heard President Roose
welt speak, and since coming to live
in New Mexico (only a few months
since) I nave considered Governor
Hagerman almost the incarnation and
living exponent of the lofty political
ideals of the President. And the peo-
pie of New Mexico are waiting to
demonstrate to the Nation, in no n
certain message the sincerity or in
sincerity of the President.
This is no political occasion. II
is honest citizenship unfolding pure
government. The best government is
that which confers the greatest good
upon the greatest number-a revival
of i o~ld-fashioned notions as to
honesty in government and decency
in politics-and the best citizens of
New Mexico wish to give full and
fair warning that a movement has
been instituted to demonstrate the
integrity of Governor Hagerma1 and
the high purpose and utility of his
administration.
