many Republicans will not vote for
Andrews.
The Republican county ticket Is a
joke, of course-but there should be
no neglect in the matter of getting
out the full Democratic vote on cleo
ton. The Pecos Valley must give Lar
razolo a majority that will more than
overcome the graveyard and sheep
vote west of the mountains.
Albuquerque now has four daily
papers, and the game of starving each
other out has begun. With four dali
lies one of them will have a local
circulation large enough to give the
advertisers their moneys worth-so
the fight etwee the papers will be
made largely at the expense of the
community.
There is at least n point in the
tariff question that every New Mexf
can understands. We are now selling
wool at about one-third what it sold
for two years ago. and yet the tariff
has not been changed, and we are
still under the same Republican ad-
ministration. The Republican panic
accounts for it.
Not even the extension of the Santa
lFe Central to Roswell could now win
Delegate Andrews a single Democratic
vote in the Pecos Valley. His efforts
in preventing a hearing of the LARA
zolo contest while himsel enjoying
the salary of the office to which he
was elected by fraud, is enough to
condemn him with every Democrat
in the Territory.
Suppose we admit that Mr.. Bryan
has made money selling wind" as
Speaker Cannon puts it. The people
would not buy his books and papers
if he did not say the things which
they think but cannot say so we'll fo-
themselves. In devoting his genius
and talents to the cause of the people
) Mr.. Bryan is entitled to such COM
pensation as the people see fit to
give him, He has honestly earned
whatever money he may have.
[ Even if the gas we'll at Dayton soon
~fizzlzes out, it will encourage further
l prospecting, and eventually the main
body of gas and oil will be struck. 1t
is hoped that the Dayton well may
prove a success; but its best imme-
date result will be in encouraging
capitalists to spend their money put
i. ting down holes in other parts of the
valley. L. K. McGaffey, of the Roswell
lGas and Ice Company, who went to
see the well on Wednesday, said to
c the Record editor last night that his
company might increase the depth
s of its well at the gas works so as to
be prepared for distributing natural
-hsas through the pipes already laid
in case artificial gas is to be super
. seeded. Mr.. McGaffey believes that
. beneath the shallow artesian water
. of Roswell is more likely than any
where else in the valley to be found
. the main body of gas and oil. He rea-
sons that the gas and oil must come
from the same direction as the arte-
sian flow, from the mountains north
west WHICH are llleQ WIN coal. Deep
wells have never beer bored in this
L section, yet it seems almost certain
that after passing through the water
. rock another stratum of stone will
; be found with the same tilt, dip, or
whatever you call it, beneath which
oil has run down from the mountains
of coal and gas has accumulated in
greater abundance than in any other
part of the valley.
