ley has been an imitator of the inim-
table. He must be protected, encour-
aged, boosted, indicated. Besides, it's
bully fun to insult Congress.
"Lilley is such a mighty little
Roosevelt, however. The original has
bowels, practice, ~audacity, and has IN
admiring or a forgiving public. He
could carry off the trick. outbrazen
fact, triumph in his own lie. But Lii
ley, poor little Lilley. He has no char
ter to save him from his folly. Can
Mr.. Roosevelt d. anything for him.?
Perhaps the Yankees have chang
ed. Perhaps Connecticut can't mind
her own business"
We quote the above from the NEW
YORK SUN of October 18TH, as be-
ing of particular interest to the vot-
ers of New Mexico.
On November Bird. they will be call
ed upon to vote for a Delegate to Con-
gress. One of the candidates, Mr.. VIM.
H. Andrews, is a man who led the
President of the United States to
make scandalous, unsupported charg-
es" against a Governor whose only
fault was that he opposed the vicious,
degrading and sordid political meth
DDS which Mr.. Andrews and his
friends represent, and to publish
! false statements against that Gov
ernor's father, one of our most dis
tinguished and honored citizens and
who has done more for the develop
ment of the Territory than any other
man in it. The abuse of the injured
party to try to call off public atten-
ton from the pitiable show the stir
rer of the mess made of himself" was
the same in this case as in so many
Others.
We are now called upoa by the Re
publican machine to return to Con
gress a man who boasts of his power
to influence even the President of the
United States to do things which dis
grace the high office he holds. The
underlying argument of he whole
Territorial Republican campaign is
this: Send Mr.. Andrews back Or he
will see to it that you are all treated
in the same way that Governor Hag-
ierman was treated. Moreover, if you
do not send him, he will block state
hood" 1t is the argument of a black
mailer Or a thug. 1t is an argument
which can appeal only to a thoroughly
inundated and cowed community; to
men who have lost their self-respect
and are ready to lie down n grovel
at the feet of a person whose record
does not entitle him to the respect
of any honest citizen.
The NEW YORK SUN favors the
ELECTION of Mr.. Taft, the RECORD is
for Mr.. Bryan. Whether it be Bryan
Or Taft, we cannot believe that, after
the 18th of March, 1909. the occupant
of the White House will be longer sub
VIM. H. Andrews.
We saw an animal staked out in a
vacant lot in Roswell today. An ami
NAL with a tough, hang-dog express
sion on it's face, just as though it had
been engaged in stuffing ballot boxes,
alphabetical voting or other similar
occupations of the genial politician,
but it certainly had not. It was brand
ed P. d. B." which might mean Penn
sylvania Development Bull Or even
Pennsylvania Dutchman Bull, but pro
badly means something entirely diff
ferent. Anyway it was the s%orriest,
toughest looking specimen of IN ami
nal. with but one exception, that we
have seen in a long time.
The Republicans of New Mexico
are boldly making their campaign on
the declaration that the national Re-
publican party will not keep its sol
emn platform pledge, and they de-
clare this to be the only issue. What
guarantee have we that the Republi-
cans of the territory are any more
worthy of belief? Are they any more
honest? On the contrary are the Re-
publican leaders in tbs territory not
known to be very closely akin to a
lot of grafters and political blackmail-
ers?
Larrazolo will be elected. A number
