FALSEHOODS FATHERED BY
FLOOD and DEMOCRATS OF
new MEXICO ARE EXPOSED

ords of the so-called charges against
Bursum. Judge Fall stated he found.
after three weeks Of hard work and
the most minute examination that
Mr.. Bursum was absolutely guiltless.
He said that when the court. at Sill
yer City, pronounced that it was
ready to give judgment in the Bursum
case E. B. Holcomb, a United States
special land Office officer. who had
furnished the evidence" upon which
Hagerman had begun his persecution
of Mr.. Bursum, was present. Mr..
Holcomb offered no objection to judg-
ment being rendered. Carefully de-
scribing everything that was done,
Judge Fall showed the emptir ess OF
the charges of Mr.. Hagerman and the
complete innocence of Mr.. Bursum.
In conclusion Judge Fall demon
strated by concise statements and
clear, logical argument that the voters
should elect the republican ticket and
defeat the Blue Ballot at the coming
election if they have the welfare Of
The new state at heart.
Judge Fall was introduced to the
large audience present by DR.. j. M.
who briefly outlined the
issues of the campaign, taking oppor-
unity to show the calibre of Henry
D. Flood of Virginia. who desires to
nave the constitution of New Mexico
EASILY amended and who lives in a
tate whose constitution was forced
.pon the people withing giving then
lr opportunity to vote upon its ac-
,eptance or rejection; constitutiol
lard to amend, which Mr. Flood
lelped to frame.
The meeting was a success from
very standpoint It furnished the
'oters present with some correct in
ormation which they will be able to |

THE BLUE BALLOT is NOT A PARTY ISSUE

tee has done by publishing the arch

Peking, China. Oct. 31.-The state
of terror which has taken possession
of the entire imperial court was fur.
ther evidenced today by a long list
of edicts supplementing yesterdays
remarkable proclamation and offering
further concessions of the most radi-
cal character.
Today's edicts indicate that even
though the dynasty survives, Manchu
rule is at an end. The transfer even
of the cabinet officers to native CHI
nese is ordered and the throne swears
that hereafter Manchus and Chinese
shall be regarded equally" meaning
that the elaborate system of Manchns
pensions which are now paid to prac-
tically every member Of the race will
be discontinued and the Manchus left
to earn a living by their own enter
prise.
All today's edicts, like that Of yes
terday, are written in inc first per-
son, as coming from the infant en,-
peror himself. This is unusual and
is apparently device adopted by tire
thrones advisers in a pathetic at
tempt to create among the people
feeling of personal loyalty for their
sovereign.
The edicts make a complete capt.
ulation to the demands Of the ma
tional assembly and even go SO far as
to offer extravagant praise to the
rebels for bringing about the great re-
forms which are promised The
throne abjectly acknowledges its in
capacity, pleads ignorance of affairs,
asks that its lapses be pardoned and
requests the assistance and advice
of all citizens. Finally, it makes a
hysterical effort to rally Chinese and
Manchus alike to the royal standard

Santa Fe, N. M, Oct. 31.-"The
Blue Ballot is not party issue; the
attitude of the voter on it is not q
test of party fealty," SO declares the
republican platform. The fact that
the national w. C. T. U. yesterday in
convention at Milwaukee, passed a
resolution in its favor, and that Arch
bishop j. B. Pitaval and Bishop Will
liam Quayle, the latter by inference
and the former, unequivocally, have
declared against it, cannot be con-
strued as their taking stand in IA
vor of any party or party ticket.
This is the view that the republi-
can party and the republican central
committee have taken of the matter.
The following telegram from Arch
bishop j. B. Pitaval takes the same
stand;

New Mexican, Santa Fe, N. M.
ITO the people of New Mexico:
Il am informed that an attempt has
been made to make use Of my name

New Mexico to further the political
ambitions of one of the political par
ties in the territory. If this is so, !

to the native people of the state as an
Ignorant electorate"
Still reading extracts from the rec
ord Judge Fall showed that A. A.
Jones had admitted that he had land |
and water interests that would be |
furthered if certain changes were
made in the constitution of the new
state.
The speaker gave a short history
of the fate of the New Mexico state
hood bill at the hands of the last reg
ular congress. He showed how the
house had approved the bill admitting
New Mexico as state and how the
committee on territories of the SEN
ate had voted, with one exception, to
approve the admission of New Mexi-
co. Then Senator Owen of Okla
homa, democrat, had filibustered on
the floor of the senate and succeeded
in defeating statehood, basing this
talk, for it could not be called argu,
ment, on the statement that New
Mexico possessed an Ignorant and il
literate electorate" Judge Fall asked
if this democratic action was hurry
ing statehood for New Mexico" and
If the action of Jones ct al showed
them to be the friends of the native
or of the English speaking people of
New Mexico.
The speaker then gave some inside
history of the recent special session
of congress at which New Mexico was
admitted. He showed that the house
and senate we're prepared to give
New Mexico statehood under the or
iginal Flood amendment. which pro-
vided for the acceptance of the consti-
tuition as drawn by the peopie of this
state, without change. Flen Nessrs.

appeared. They declared they were
not trying to delay statehood, but
they Immediately BROUGHT up charges
and equivocations which delayed the
passage of the statehood bin many
months and nearly resulted in its de-
feat. Judge Fail told. of the disgust
of many of the democratic in CONGRESS-
at the action of their political breth-
ren from New Mexico.
! Clearly did Judge Fall demonstrate
the real object of the fathers of the
Blue Ballot provision. He showed it
to be an attempt to force upon the
people of the new state political poll
cies which the voters rejected last
January and an effort to further their
own personal ambitions.
Referring to the charges made by
Ex-Governor Herbert j. Hagerman
against H. o. Bursrm. republican
nominee for governor. Judge Fall de-
scribed the proceedings that took
place. He was acting as attorney gen.
eral of New Mexico after the acces-
sion of George Curry to the governors
chair following the dismissal of Ha-
| german by President Roosevelt. Con-
sequently he came into a position
where he could examine all the rec

1t was peculiarly appropriate that
Judge A. B. Falls address in Las
Vegas should have been in the Hal
lowe'en season. Like the every-ready
policeman who captures mischieviops
and meddlesome ghosts and COLLINS
wandering about on the streets on
the eve of All Saints day and later
discovers they are not visitors from
the mystic realms beyond the grave
but merely small boys bent upon hav-
ing a good time at the expense OF
others, Judge Fall last night showed
that the political ghosts and COLLINS
who have been attempting to fright
en- the people of New Mexico and lit
orally to have good time at their
expense, are nothing more than the
small" boys Of New Mexico, who
pulled off a spook parade in Washing
ton in an effort to delay statehood for
this territory. The lads unmasked by
Judge Fall are A. A. Jones, ]. D..
Hand, W. R. McGill, H.. B. Ferguson
and the other patriotic citizens of
New Mexico who are now engaged in
villifying the republican candidate for
governor and working for the adop-
ton of the Blue Ballot amendment.
BY documentary proof, records of
the congress of the United States,
Judge Fall demonstrated in his ad-
dress last night before a large audi
ence at the Duncan opera house that
the assertions of Congressman Henry
d. Flood of Virginia and the gentle
men from New Mexico who claimed
to represent the democrats of the
territory in Washington, to the eff
feet that it was the democrats who
hurried statehood for New Mexico
were absolutely false.
Judge. Fall also showed that this
same coterie of men attempted tc
have the constitution arbitrarily
amended by congress, thus showing
down the throats of the people oi
New Mexico certain political policies
which they were fathering whether
the people desired to swallow then
or not. He also demonstrated tha'
their desire to have the constitution
amended was mercenary.
The statement made by Mr.. FlooC
to the effect that it was the democrats
who worked for the interest OF th'
Spanish speaking people of New
Mexico and the protection of thei
rights to vote and hold Office was ais,
disproved by Judge Fall, who rea'
from the Congressional Record of thu
proceedings at the hearing before tn
house committee on territories. A
this hearing members of the demo
cratic committee from New Mexico in
sisted that the constitution shoul
be amended because, under the docr
ment as drawn up by the constitu
tional convention and adopted by tn
people. it was impossible to make a
educational qualification for suffrage

which 1t thinks should be faced by a
united China.
In his struggle for existence, the in
FAINT emperor even condemns many
of his own closest relatives. The
present officialdom. he declares, has
not sought the interests Of the people,
but only its own pockets :
The revolutionists are unimpressed
bC the flood Of edicts from the en-
peror. They declare that the dy-
nasty's partial surrender has come
too late. Moreover they do not trust
the throne, regarding their present po-
sition a. too strong for yielding to
promises which they feel are insin-
crre.
he revolutionists point out that
s;ich edicts as these, wherein the
thrones own appointees and relatives
are called thieves and scoundrels, do
not tend to encourage confidence.
What the edicts state regarding the
methods of the present administra-
tion is, of course, admitted by the
revolutionists but the thrones plea
Of ignorance hitherto is regarded as
increditable. But while the edicts
have apparently failed of their hoped
for effect in conciliating the rebels,
they have stirred up most formid-
able opposition from new source.
The announcement that most Of the
Manchu office holders must 60 and
that all the Manchu pensions will be
cut off Immediately produced a pro
nounced disaffection in the ranks of !
the Manchus, and many members of |
this race at once began talking of a
massacre of revenge. There were in
dications already today that these
proposals would find support, particu-
larly among the younger Manchu
who will now be stripped of
their high Offices and unable longer
10 exploit their positions
Officials prominent among the ma
tive Chinese profess to have informa-
ton that Prince Tsai Tao, uncle of
The baby emperor, is willing to lead
he massacre party. Prince Tsai Tao
IS well known in Eurone srd Arpe-'ca
Throughout the day the foreign le-
cations, the missions and even pri-
rate houses occupied by foreigners
we're besieged bg both Manchus and I
Chinese, who sought protection from.
each other. Prince Ching, the pre-
nier, is using his influence to re-
strain that element of the Manchus
who may be disposed toward violence.
For their part, the Manchus dread a
rebel investment of the capital.
Foreign legations are advising both
Chinese and Manchus to take refuge,
In case of trouble, behind the Meth
odist mission, which is situated in
that corner of the main city lying be-
tween the legation quarter and the
east wall.
