FLYING MACHINE FOR FAIR

The Fair Association is trying to
get another aeroplane for the enter
tainment of the crowds at the fair
this fall. Negotiations are being
made now and if everything goes
right, the people of Union county will
have the pleasure of seeing another
huge bird fly over our city the same
as two years ago. A lot of amuse-
ments are being planned for this event
and a number of the merchants are
offering special prizes for "stunts"
which will add much to the program.
We will give a list of these next week.

WOMEN THROW FALL
HATS In THE RING
And Start a Merry War On
the Policies Of the Presi-
dent and His Sup
pOrterS

Colorado Springs, Aug. 12.-Presi-
dent Wilson ignored numerous tele-
grams sent him last night by the DEM
ocratic members of the new Woman's
party, and tonight, the last session
finished Miss Alice Paul, recognized
head Of the organization, gave the
word for the beginning of the battle
against the president and his party.
Ardent young fighters for the cause
of suffrage were armed with soap
boxes and sailed forth to the streets
for speech making. 1t was their first
appearance in facing crowds, but they
were ordered to go in the interest of
preparedness-they must be broken in
for the coming campaign which the
suffragists will conduct in the twelve
equal suffrage states.
"The failure of President Wilson
to answer the many kilograms sent
him, calling on him to give some ex-
preston favoring the passage of the
Susan B. Anthony national woman
suffrage amendment, has destroyed
the party's last hope that he would
see the light" Miss Mabel Vernon, the
always active little secretary of the
organization declared.
"Some are still strong in the belief
that he will assume a passive attitude
and offer no opposition to the amend
ment if congress will bring it out of
committee for passage, providing
stand on the matter is not requested
of him. But the rank and file have
lost hope, and from now on we will
fight the Democratic party just as
hard as we can."
The formal beginning of the big
drive, which, it is hoped by the femin-
inc fighters, will push from political
power the president and Office holders
in his party, is scheduled for Sept. 10.
The leaders today named women to
conduct the campaigns in the twelve
states, and aides chosen from the
states, where equal suffrage is not,
who desire to take up residence in
suffrage states so they may have a
vote, will be named later. There will
be many deserted Eastern homes for
the next few weeks. The women will
conduct campaign in which bill pos
ters, cartoons, catchy advertising and
pamphlet circulation will be features.
Hughes is Only Hope
"And, without doubt, the workers
will campaign actively for the can
didacy of Mr.. Hughes" Mrs. E. st.
Clair Thompson, now living in Ari-
zona, said. "But we will not do so as
a party, even tho we all desire his cleo
tion.
'In every state we will try to gain
women votes for him on the ground
that he is our only hope. Our mega
tive policy calling only for a fight
against the Democrats means merely
that we will not urge women desir-
Gus of voting for Prohibitionist or So
cialist candidates to sacrifice their de-
sires and vote for the Republican tick
et."
The members of the party left to-
night for their homes to rest up, they
said, for the strenuous campaign to
come. Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles
and Miss Rose Winslow, assigned to
be in charge of headquarters in Colo
RADIO will remain in the state.
Mrs. Hilles said tonight their plans
for the Colorado campaign had moi
yet been made.

A FALSEHoOD OvERTAKEN

Certain newspapers in Union coun-
ty, to-wit; the Des Moines Swastika
and Clayton News, last week publish
ed articles regarding the case of
State VS.. Dewey Johnson imputing to
the District Attorneys Office a refusal
or neglect to perform it's duty and
making it necessary for Judge Leib
The Clayton citizen. [volume] (Clayton, Union County, N.M.) 1906-19??, 1916-08-17
to appoint a special prosecutor in the
case.
Mr.. johnson was on the ---------
donr nf 1Q1R nn.rnctnd

case.
Mr.. johnson was on the ----------
day of ------------- 1916 arrested
and taken before L. W. Kingdom,
Justice of the Peace in Clayton Pre-
cinct and after an investigation was
bound over to await the action of the
Grand Jury of Union county on a
homicide charge under a bond Of
S3000.00 Immediately on learning of
the case Mr.. Remley went into the
facts with Sheriff Crumley and JUS
tice Kingdom and concluded the Of
fense under the facts was bailable
and that the bond fixed by Justice
Kingdom and Sheriff Crumley was
reasonable and just under the facts.
On Saturday July goth, 1916, Judge
Lieb requested the undersigned to
file an information against johnson
saying it did not look good to the
people to see johnson running at large.
The undersigned took it up with Mr..
Remley who said he had made an in
vestigation and decided Justice King
dom had properly admitted Johnson to
bail and the Districts Attorneys office
then notified Judge Lieb that under
all the facts it still considered the Of
fense bailable and the bond sufficient
to insure his appearance before the
Grand Jury and as johnson was al
ready bound over to the Grand Jury
there was no necessity of further
hearing in the matter.
During the absence of Mr.. Remley
on business trip to the State of Iowa
where he still is detained and while
the undersigned was on vacation
trip and seventy miles from his Office,
to-wit: on August IL, Judge Lieb had
johnson rearrested and held an inves-
tigation and he admitted him to bail
in the sum of $4,000 and the People
still see Johnson running at large.
Johnson has now given four bonds
since he was charged with the offense.
| Why Johnson's case should demand
any different procedure than other
cases of similar character or why the
Judge should appoint Johnson's Bit
ter personal enemy special prosecutor
the District Attorneys Office cannot
understand. We will prosecute Mr..
johnson just as we have every other
man charged with crime in this Dis
trict, fearlessly and to the full ex-
tent of our ability. We deem it our
duty to see that Justice is meeted out
equally and see that every man, no
matter what are his political or other
affiliations, is treated fairly and i'm
partially. 1t is not the duty of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office to persecute
any man and so long as the present
incumbents are in office ALL PER-
SONS will be treated alike and when
charged with crime, without the aid
of any prosecutor appointed by the
: Court, fully and fairly prosecuted, but
: no man shall be by us prosecuted.
Neither Mr.. Remley nor the under
signed made any statement or did any
act that indicated we would not pros
ecute Mr.. Johnson or said any thing
that could be so construed. The ar
ticles published in the above mention
ed newspapers making imputations
against our office were absolutely
! false.
