Santa Fe. oct. ls.-Hugh II. Will
lams, candidate for corporation com
missioner on the republican state
ticket. returned last evening from his
campaign tour through Lincoln.
Otero, curry. Roosevelt, Quay, Tor
rance and Union counties, in time
TO attend the smoker given by Chair
man Ralph G, Ely to twenty-five lead
ing republicans ut the Hotel de Var
gas.
Williams, always an optmist, re-
ported that in his opinion, Union
county will give the republican state
ticket from 100 majority upward, but
that the republican legislative ticket
is in danger although even without
Union county, the house will be two
thirds republican. lie deplored the
ethargy in republican circles at Tu-
eumcari, but predicted that Z. G..
Hernandez will poll the normal re-
publican strength in the eastern
counties To expect more, he said,
is folly. as the Albuquerque Morning
Journal had made nroads on repub-
lican expectations.
Torrance county he reported would
go republican by 500 upwards for
the state ticket although Estancia is
sore spot that must be healed. h.
p Davies viii run ahead of his ticket,
there, he declared and FREDERICK
Chaves behind the republican ticket.
Guadalupe county he found in much
Iat -. had
indicated In Curry county, he de-
clared, the republicans have fine
chance to win a legislative prize by
nominating ex-Sheriff Hannum for
the house However. he regretted to
report that the dsaffected democrats
instead of voting for B. c. Hernandez,
will, with a few exceptions, vote for
Francis c. Wilson, the progressive
candidate for congress, who Is es-
pecialy drawing heavily on the pro-
hibition vote.
Williams left today for Carrizo2o
and other southern points to continue
his campaign, expecting TO spend the
last three days of the campaign in
Luna county.
Salmon Speaks for Merchant.
Rather remarkable was the adj
dress made at the smoker by Nathan
Salmon. a local merchant, who as
president Of the Merchants associa-
ton. has called a non partisan point
zeal mass meeting at his store tomor-
row evening. Mr. salmon declared
that no one is working more Loyalty
for the republican legislative ticket
than he but it should be understood
that the legislative candidates must
pledge themselves in favor of the
garnishment bill passed by the state
senate at the last session, but defeat
ed in the house. The business men
must have protection against the
deadbeats and whatever protects the
business men in that particular Is a
gain for the man who honestly pays
his debts.
Salmon astounded his hearers with
his eloquence and his plea for busi-
ness methods and business admin
istration.
DR.. Leroy Lyons of Colorado
startled his hearers by the assertion
that nine out of every ten rallroaders
are against the G. o. p. and that 70
their own detriment. 1t is conditloh
that must be looked after, he de-
olared. the men must be reasoned
with and convinced that eight-hool
legislation and other laws demanded
hy them can come to them ohlA
through the republican party
Catron on Lincoln.
United States Senator Thomas r.
Catton was the principal speaker ana
hold ND Abraham Lincolns political
ideals as those that should animate
the republican party today. He pre-
dictated AZ least 5000 majority for the
republican ticket in November and
asserted that 1t is likely to exceed
5000. He attacked the democratic
party policy. advocated the honest
dollar and favored the demand OF n
salmon that legislation protect tins

ness man. but also the working nun
