JUDGE CRAIc'S SPEECH

The speech. delivered by Judge
CRAIG, published In this mornings
journal by the republican county
central committee, is notable for the
careful research shown by Il ana the
fact that il Is tho first expression by
the republicans IN this campaign that
has risen above petty peanut politics.
But one thing the voter should bear
Ia mind when he reads Judge Crale's
speech is that New Mexico has far
more than the tariff at stake. The
election of republican candidate Tor
congress at this time would not In
fucnce a change In our tariff laws
one iota. There viii be no new hill
framed hy the next congress. Against
such proposition viii be a democratic
president and democratic house Of
representatives and democratic
senate Hence. TO vote for the repuh-
licnn candidate for congress is to
shoot into thin air with no chance Of
hitting anything
But there Is far more at stake New
Mexico began redeeming herself three
years ago and the work is not COM
plcte yet Before any republican
should allow himself to vote his par.
W ticket IA this state, ne should see
20 il first that the elements that have
diseraeed il and defeated it in the
past are eliminated from ITS manage
ment
There must be no further tempo
rlring With the powers of darkness
The remedy for republican rottenness
in this state is to vote for the demo-
cratic nominee. and continue TO vote
for the democratic nominees in the
future untll party management ~
completely ovcrhauled and reformed.
