Judge Taft might as well not waste
any more hot air on his prospects in
the Solid South. Arkansas, always
Democratic, has broken all records
by rolling up the greatest Democratic
majority in her history.
Governor Hughes was re-nominated
not because he was wanted by the
delegates, but because the great die
tator at Oyster Bay had sent out the
imperial command n it could not
be disregarded by a mere state con-
vention.
That the Democrats of New York
are fighting among themselves indi-
Gates nothing but an exces of vital
ity. They are going to carry the state
this fall, and naturally there is live
ly competition for the honors of the
convention.
The Bryan-Larrazolo Club of Ros-
well is going to work in earnest to
the end that every Democrat in the
county shall go to the polls on cleo
ton day and help to pile up a record
breaking majority for Larrazolo and
the county ticket.
During the last quarter of a centu-
ry three statehood bills have been
pushed through the national house
of representatives only to be killed
in the senate by Republican votes.
Statehood will only come through
the Democratic party.
Antonio Joseph, a Democratic del
egate from New Mexico, secured the
passage of a statehood bill through
the Democratic congress of 1888, only
to have the Republican senate kill
it, the latter action being the occa-
sion of the most vilifying report ever
perpetrated upon any section Of the
American people.
At the close of the Irrigation Con
gress at Albuquerque an excursion
will be run through parts of New Mex
leo and Arizona. If the prope effort
is made by the people of the Pecos
Valley this excursion can be brought
through the best section of the South
west. Will the Commercial Clubs of
the Valley towns take it up?
President Roosevelt, in his letter
to Conrad Kohrs, OF Montana, in an
effort to boost the waning cause of
his fat friend, asks that my poll
cies" be continued. These are the pol
icies that have wrecked the business
thousands Of jobless men and caused
the greatest national deficit since the
Civil war.
Governor Curry undoubtedly had
In mind the roads about Roswell
when he said, 1.-THE highways of a
community are a very reliable index
ty." Chaves county has the best
roads as well as the best government
and most prosperous farmers in the
Territory-and all under Democratic
administration, too.
The Alfalfa Festival at Artesia
should be regarded as an affair of
the whole Pecos Valley, and should
be attended by as many Roswell peo-
pie as possible. What helps Artesia
in this line also helps Roswell, and
Carlsbad, and every other town of
the valley. Alfalfa is our most i'm
portant crop, and in advertising it
to the outside world Artesia is boost
ing for us all.
AS a rule the Socialists are a deadly
serious lot and never see anything
funny in the political situation; but
the Taft candidacy is so ridiculous
that even the Socialists are joking
about it. The Appeal to Reason sug-
gests that Republican prosperity is
the most successful airship yet de-
vised-it has been up in the air for
yer a year.
Republican Chairman Hitchcock
is only whistling to keep his courage
up when he asserts that the result
In Maine is entirely satisfactory to-
the Republicans The Democratic
gain in that state Is an indication OF
the tendency all over the country.
Even Arkansas has greatly increased
