The Editor of the S A. respond
ed to the call for a Get to geth-
err meeting of Democrats at
Santa Fe, and went down to the
old state Capital Saturday to
meet with some two hundred or
more Of the "Unterrifed".
The meeting was held in the
Supreme Court room in the
State Capital, 1t was most
enthusiastic meeting and all
presentweret there for purpose
Every one who wanted to talk
had the chance and was urged, if
he had a crouch, to Get it out
of his system.
There was some complaint
made and some urged what is
politely called Practical Politics
the absence Of which was blamed
for the defeat last fail by some
members.
Governor Mcdonald, replied
to some Of their charges with his
characteristic forcefulness, and
ventured the opinion that if the
Democrats were obliged to win
by the adoption Of the so called
Practical Politics it would be
wiser to quit the game. The
Republicans, he said were Past
Masters of the art of prestituting
voters and securing votes by
methods that are dishonest and
diShonorable.
We can never hope to win per-
manent success for the Demo
cratic party and principles unless
we can do it by efficient Admin
istration and honest methods.
The governor declared that as
far as he is concerned he is ready
to take the blame for all, if that
will settle the differences among
the Democrats of New Mexico
He pointed out the work ahead
for the battle of 1916 and called
upon his hearers to lend aid to
uphold the hands of the great
man it Washington, He ex.
horted the Democrats not to both.
er about him that the legisIa-
ture would look after him and
when the solons forget it the
governor would take care of him.
self. He admitted he had been
unable to get along with some
Democrats all the time and many
Republicans any of the time
This sally aroused laughter and
applause.
The governor wound up with
a declaration that the affairs oi
NewMexico are so far in advance
of what they were three years a
go that there is no comparison.

Democratic State Central
Committee Meeting
At Santa Fe

At the close of the meeting
many of the Pie Counter men
who had been criticising the
Governor, had experienced a
change of heart and realized that
Politics is not necessarily a dirty
game--but that it can be played
from lofty motives, and honor
able actions and win a more last
ing triumph than can ever be
hoped for by those who debauch
the ignorant voter and use the
power of Office to coerce smaller
men into support of the Office
holding class.
This fact is proven by the ring
of true Democracy with which
the following Resolution was
unanimously passed.
BE it resolved, by the Demo
cratic central committee of the
state of New Mexico, that we un-
qualifedly indorse the admins
tration of Governor Mcdonald,
and we unreservedly express our
confidence in his integrity and a.
bility, and particularly commend
his business like conduct of the
affairs of his Office as chief exec
utive of this state, and further
express the firm conviction that
his attitude on public matters has
so won the confidence of the state
of New Mexico as to Insure Dem
ocratic success in the next cam
paign.
we further heartily indorse
and approval his conduct in hold
ing forth and fostering at all
times an ideal new in New Mexi-
co politics; that of eliminating
what has been called practical
politics from affairs Of state, and
pursuing such course as has
ever made for the real welfare
of the whole people of this
state.
There may be some of our
readers who do not realize fully
what is meant by the term 'Prac,
tical politics as used in the Res
olntions adopted by the De moe
ratio committee. The Term is ap,

who thronged the streets awaiting the
outcome of an examination OF STAN

The scene on the well-lighted pub

of Staney was spectacular. The mob
had chosen an open space in which to
build their p;yyre, this being surround

they showed the prisoner into the
flames.
All about the streets were hIieu
with pedestrians and automobiles
loaded with onlookers. Trees frlnglns
the street on the side of the square
nearest the burning were filled with
boys, while scattered through the
crowds were many young girls.
When Stanley was cast into the
flames he struggled to escape, but
was repeatedly showed back. Several
men said Stanley confessed that ne
did the killing, claiming that ne had
been hired to do the deed. He beg
ged to be permitted to live long
enough to tell about it, but his al
legged admission of guilt was isutflcint
for those around the fire. A shot was
fired. which some claim, struck the
struggling man. His struggles sool
ceased and the crowd began to dis

Southland Has Difficulty in Making
Landing at Old Point.

A fierce storm struck Hampton
Roads about seven o'clock yesterday
evening as the steamer Southland, OF
the Norfolk and Washington line,
was about to make landing. Rain
fell in torrents accompanied by in
cessant thunder and lightning, while
the wind reached velocity of sixty
miles an hour. The steamer was
blown from the pier out into the roads
and considerable difficulty was exper-
fenced in bringing her back to the
wharf. No damage resulted,h how
ever, and after taking on passengers,
baggage, and freight the Southland
proceeded up the bay, arriving at
this port this morning on time.
