Offers Ideal Place For Picnic

). A. Stephenson, part owner of the
old Tranquillina Garcia place, near
the New Home school house has of
fered the use of that place TO the
Old Settlers for their annual pcnic
to be held the third of August. Mr..
Stephenson offers the place free of
charge to the committee on arrange
ments and it is likely tnat they will
take advantage of his offer. There is
a large grove Of trees and plenty Of
good water on the place and it is a
far better site for the picnic than
the New Home school. it is said.

DEMOCRATS HAVE A JOB TO
PUT THROUGH
II Is The Important One Of Free
ing New Mexico From Re-
publican UnScru-
pulOuSneSS.

Santa Fe, July 27.-"As the Demo-
cratic press agent at Santa Fe. says
the La Cruces Citizen, lis now fran
tically calling upon the Democrats
of the state to elect Democratic
legislature it is believed that the
Democratic bosses have a job to put
through"
For once in history the Rcpubh-
can organ of Dona Ana county-the
mouthpiece of the Dona Ana county
statesman who became a member
and "toorwalker' of the state senate
through the ability of his henchmcn
to produce magnificent majority
of two vOtes-is correct. The Demo-
Gratis plead guilty to the charge.
There is a job to be put thru. It's
big job. It's the peoples job. In
Importance it outranks any job that
has ever been undertaken in New
Mexico.
The Democrats are being fran
tically' called upon to elect a Demo-
cratic legislature in order that con-
structive legislation may be- written
into the statutes Of New Mexico. They
are being urged to make every eff
fort to secure legislative control that
the legislative branch of the common
wealth shall he freed from the
upaGn nf fbn ip.-isibIn ,r,,.,.,,,, -. .,...t A.
that corporate interests shall no long
er dictate the laws to be enacted:
that the unseating of duly elected
legislative members, in lagrant vio-
latlOn of every precept of honesty
and justice, shall be impossible. that
the rights of the people shall he re
peated and the wasting of the peo-
pies money shall cease; that effect
i've laws for equitable taxation shall
be passed: that any county in the
state where graft and incOmpetency
exist shall be purged; that Demo-
cratic executive shall be no longer
handicapped and overridden by an
unscrupulous Republican majority:
and that the development of New
Mexico and the advancement of its
people, and not state Exploitation for
selfish political purposes, shall be
the legislative object.
That's the Job" the Democratic
bosses are hoping TO put through
~ the election of Democratic legis-
Iature. And that's theCob of which
.he Republican machine leaders. who
outrageously gerTymandered the
state in an attempt to make its ac-
cOmplishment forever impossible. /
are in deadly fear, and against which
hey will bring every play known
10 INSCRIPTIONS politics at the Nov
amber election.
Because of the Republican gerry
nander the task before the Demo-
rats is a difficult one, but the DOS
'lble benefit TO the state and the peO- !
pie are worth every effort that can
De put forth. Legislative candidates |
should be chosen from among the |
strongest Democrats in the legis-
ative districts certain of the |
Independent we'll as the party vote |

lilly will be men the machine can

That Persecution Aaain

The Citizen referring to Mr.. Man
sker's very recent attempt to get his
case removed from Union County TO
the Judicial District in which Charlie
Speiss lives, again designates those
engaged in the prosecution of this
case as prosecutors" 1t might well
be asked why Mr.. Mansker or his at
torneys, or some one of them or all
OF them, are so fearful of going
to trail in this case in Union County.
Surely it couldn't be because they
would not enjoy having the facts in
this case turned inside-Out" for pub
lie consideration it the face of their
long-winded and long-standing argu-
ments to the effect that nothing can
possibly be brought out agaist Poor
Old Bob for all these alleged
charges are simply trumpted up
against him.

INSTITUTE CLOSES WITH RE-
CORD ACCOMPLISHMENT
Work OF Last Week Strenuous
Aud Well Done ENamina-
tiOnS in Order; HOOlies
Hilarious

The first four days of the week
were busy and interesting ones at
the Union County Teachers Institu-
te:-and the teachers were nearly
as busy after the institute hours
with social and club affairs as they
were during the time the lectures
were in progress.
Many excellent features had been
prepared for the assembly and the
conclusion of the work of the facul-
ty III their various classes was nter-
eStlng and instructive.
At the close of the institute. a COM
mlttee on resolutions drafted and
proposed to the assemblage a set of
resolutions stating their appreciation
of the efforts of the faculty and ell
dogsing the institute as the best
ever held. The resolutions thank
the Board of Education for the use
of the School Building, and thank
j. .. Williams for his many and
pleasant acts as janitor.
The various committees are Thank
ed for their services and apprecia-
ton of each individual member of
the faculty is expressed in glowing
terms.
Those who helped to make the
programs of the assembly perioods
of added interest are congratulated
upon their ability and thanked for
their help.
The work Of County Superinlend-
ent Erretl, during his regime in the
county, is highly praised. and in
glowing terms.
But the close of the Institute
Thursday by no means meant a va
eaton for the school teachers. In
fact ther work has just begun when
the work Of the faculty ceased. Ex-
amnations are being held for certia-
Gates and remainder of the week
and it is probable the examinations
will continue into the latter part of
next week.
HOOlies Meet
The ancient and secret Order of
Noodles held their conclave at the
Court House Monday night and TO
say the affair was a success s putting
it mildly, The harangues, we UNDER
stand, created a hilarious, hedonic,
hetrodOx hiatus in the Institute
routine, and the frolic was greatly
enjOyed.
