ANTI-RING CANDIDATES HAVE MUCH
To SAY AGAINST THE RING CROWD

ridiculous. I am supporting the anti
ring, and everyone knows that I am
not prOhibitionist.
Ike Versus Kelly.
Again the ring is sidetracking the
issue by saying that the ants will
have Ike Alderete for boss. Well. if
1 l had to choose between Ike and
Kelly, would take Ike. The ring
are Kellyized.
1T appears that the real issue in
this campaign involves the city admin
lstrauon Just as much as it does the
county administration, and that is
answered by saying that all the cOun-
ty officials have been kellyized.
The city paid for the water works
S924,000. Of this, S712,OOO was shown
to be It's full value What was the re-
suit upon the consumer 1t appears
that the water rate has been increased
at least 80 percent in so far as it ap-
plies to small consumers. We under
stand that the rate of u II cents to
the FL PasO & Southwestern railroad
and other large water consumers has
not been increased.
The Water Increase.
The approximate result upon
safe basis, is that the water rates
have been increased from 80 cents TO
81, which was formerly paid by small
consumers, up to the sum of 81 and
$3.50 under the present system. The
number of small consumers is great,
lars increase to the city.
At the meeting of the commission

Of July g. the following colloquy took
place: Monday was the day for the
commissioners to take up and pass on
the bills the county owes. As county

one of the commissioners sug-
gested that the county install a wind

from a scenic standpoint, although ad-
hitting that the county might save
some expense as far as the water was

Courts Too EXPENSE.
The speaker then referred to the
courts and declared that they were
operated too costly; that too little bus
mess was being done. Continuing, he
said; 1t would break Ell Paso county
or any other county in the state to
sustain courts necessary to do the |
business at this rate.

RedIiEht Reservation.
There is one phase of this campaign
that that feel a particular interest in
the removal of the redIight reservation.
And while 1 am on that subject. let
me remind you of the innumerable
young men in this community who are
mere alone-away from their homes,
HVlng in furnished rooms. For each
one or those young men, somewhere in
TINS broad land a mothers heart beats
Tor her boys morality. and what are
we Of Ell PasO doing to assuage those
mothers fears; to help these young
men?
My good people, the very location of
that reservation affects vitality the
morals of the negroes and MeXicans
VINO live down near it and who are
compelled to come in daily contact with
It In going to and from town. The
moral welfare of these people is an
asset to FL Paso, and if the removal
OF that redliEht district did no more
than to save one single man from one
single vile thought then I maintain
that that alone would be sufficient rea-
son for its removal

Down with the ring; we are the
people to alleviate all suffering and
remedy all wrongs was IN effect the
plea Of the anti ring candidates al
their rally Wednesday night at theiT
hall on Stanton street.
Five or six hundred people were
present. They heard about how much
Park Pitman has made while IN Office
during the past 20 years; how the Wa
ter rates have been increased by the
raise in rates; how expensive the
courts are being operated and lot
of other things that politicians talk
abOut-when the shoe fits the other
fellow.
r. NJ Reed, campaign manager of
the anti ring, first took the floor and
explained that the principle that actu-
ated the people in 1875 to fight the
ring OF England is actuating Ell PasO-
ans now. Mr.. Reeds talk was devoted
almost exclusively to the official bal
lot, which will be presented to the
voter on July p, and Just how TO
vote, or rather how to scratch It
Stanton First TaIker.
'I am not here TO tell you something
you do not already know" he began.
THE main issue in this campaign
which the ring IS trying to side track
is, that it is a fight against boss rule.
This is the fight that IS being made
in Pennsylvania, Illinois. and all over
the country, and it is the very thing
that succeeded in nominating Wood
row Wilson as the next president Of
the United States.
.Oh. fellow citizens Oh, suffering
Mosesl The ring has had the audacity
to put Woodrow Wilson's name on its
banner They stand for everything
that he is against. Why, If he would
come here and find out what the ring
is doing, has been doing, he would
spit them out
THE rule of the people against the
rule Of the bosses, is the real issue
in this campaign; do not let them de-

Wednesday night, while the anti-rtnS

Washington Star Says He will be Among Those
Considered for leadership Senator Perky
Took Two Oaths within Two Hours.

the work of reconstruction, if he is
not in fact the leader.
The welcome accorded Addison
L Smith, congressman-elect, on
his return here by the President,
members of both houses, the de-
partment officials and by all classes
of employees of the government was
most cordial. His long connection
with national affairs, and the un-
usual occurrence of an attache Of the
senate being elected to congress
aroused the keenest interest. Mr..
Smith was called here to close up
the ofiicial affairs Of the late Sena-
tor Hepburn, which will keep him
busily occupied until the opening
of the new congress.
Senator Kirkland |. Perky, ap-
pointed by Governor Hawley to fill
the seat vacated by the death of
Senator Hepburn, took the oath of
office Tuesday, December Srd.
Never before according to those who
have looked up the preoedents and
traditions of the senate was sena-
tor required to take two oaths in
less than two hours, which was the
case With Senator Perky. First, he
took the oath as a senator when
that body convened at IL o'clock,
and at 1880 when the senate sat as
high court of impeachment, he was
required TO take the oath as q mem
Der of that court, As soon as the
senator reached the city he rolled
up bis sleeves and started right into
work, and aside from the regular
routine duties he has been busy with
his force unloading q tremendous
correspondence which consisted
mostly oil letters and kilograms OF
congrstulation.
The desk of the late Senator
Hepburn is attracting considerable
interest, from the fact that there ls
pasted on the inside of u, in his
own hand writing, record of it's
occupants, beginning with John
Bell of Tennessee, whig, who was
q Senator until 1859, After him
came Daniel CLARK of New Hamp-
shire, then Henry B. Anthony of
Rhode Island, VIM. Malone of
Virginia, Orville III. Pratt of
Connecticut, then Mr.. Hepburn and
now Mr.. Oliver. Up to date the
desk has had but six occupants in
go years.

Washington, d. q. Dec. TO-
Already recognized as one OF tha
most far seeing progressive leaders
of the country, Senator Borah's at
titude In the recent campaign and
remarkable success which attended
bis candidacy for reelection, has
given him q position before the
country and in the party which by
many of the shrewdest politicians
is considered to be the most envi-
able occupied by any republican in
the nation today. The big eastern
newspapers are having considerable
to say of his chances for leadership
and all dwell upon his independent
position and the remarkable en-
dorsement given him by his home
people when he went before them
with bis own record as his platform
leaving II TO them to decide whetb-
er or not it was good republican.
ism. The Washington Star a few
days ago, in first page article
discussing the chances for leader
ship among republicans OF the two
factions of the party, had this to
say of Senator Borah: .Who is
going to pluck the standard from
the dust, check the retreat and
reform the line of battle for an
other standP That is the question
the politicians on Capitol Hill are
asking each other. Senator Borah
of Idaho, young, resourceful, COM
petent, already has advanced some
suggestions. He, it IL said, will be
among those considered for leader
ship. He was early IN the field with
a statement pointing out the mis-
takes of the party and recommend
ing policies. While he supported
Roosevelt at Chicago as against
Taft, he refused to follow Roose-
welt in his bolt from the party
Then followed discussion of the
chances of Senator LaFollette,
Governor Hadley of Missouri and
others, but in the case of each some
probable or possible objection was
raised which does not seem to OBJ
tain in the case of Senator Borah.
He has said in one of his interviews
that a great party must rest upon q
great principle and a great cause.
He has some well defined ideas az
to tie needs of the people and will
be undoubtedly in the front rank in

MRS. NOWLAND HOME
FROM THE HOSPITAL

Mrs. Arthur Nowland arrived last
Sunday from the L. ID s. hospital at
Salt Lake. where she WAS taken
about two months ago to have her
right leg amputated.
1t will be remembered that about
six weeks before going to Salt Lake,
Mrs. Nowland's left leg was amputa-
ted above the knee by Drs. Ashley
and Cooley of this city, on account
of gangrene. She recovered from
the operation and was getting along
nicely when her right foot also be-
came affected with 9angrene. The
doctors then decided it was best to
send her to the hospital and the sur
geons there found that the only hope
of saving her life was to ampntate
the diseased member which was TAX
en- off about four inches below the
knee.
Mrs. Nowland was apparently a
woman of frail constitution before
she was taken i'll, but she has brave
ly withstood the siege thru which she
has gone, and her general condition
at this time is much better than
could be expected. She eats heartily
and is cheerful at all times.
1t is believed that later on she can
secure artificial limbs, which will
enable her to get about fairly well.

MAJOR REED GETS
A NICE PLUM

Last Saturday Governor-elect
Haines announced the appointment
of Mrjor Fred r. Reed of Wendell
to the Office Of immigration com.
missioner. In making the appoint
ment the governor considered nine
other names, which were submitted
to him by republican leaders from
various parts of the state but the
experience of Major Reed as pro-
motor and all around booster won
for him the appointment.
Major Reed has been IN Idaho for
l5 years, coming here from Pitts
burg, Pa. For the past ten years
he has been actively engaged in
publicity work In connection with
Idaho enterprises and Is accredited
by those who have been watching
the development of the state with
having Drought more settlers into
Idaho than any other one man in
state.
In accepting the office of i'm
migration commissioner, it is said
that Major Reed is leaving a posi-
ton which pays him almost twice
as much as the salary which he will
receive as a state official, but that

republican leaders 10 accept the
position and give the state a bus'.
