The Santa Fe New Mexican
has the following to say about
the republican state organization:
The republicans must stop
their chickering's, their Grimm
atoms and determinations, their
raultfnding and denouncing of
each other, they must act to-
gether. IF they-do not, the party
will lose the vantage ground %
still possesses. and il any repub-
licaN selfshly imagines he would
fare better in the democratic
ranks than he would in the re-
publican. he is simply not posted
in these matters.
1T does not matter very much
to the present republican leaders
who volunteer to give his time
and his money and his effort.
The new Mexican feels certain
